GOOD GOVERNMENT WINS.
Almost the Entire Ticket Elected in
San Francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. "a totaling
of the partial returns indicates the
election of almost the entire Good
Government city and county ticket,
including mayor, district attorney,
board of supervisors, treasurer, asses
sor, tax collector, recorder, city attor-
ney, public administrator, sheriff, cor
oner and two police judges. The
Union Labor party may have saved its
incumbents in the offices of auditor
and county clerk.
On a basis of a ten per cent count
of the votes in 249 of the 273 pre-
cincts-with the Mission district
largely to be heard from-Mayor Tay
lor's plurality over the Union Labor
candidate, P. H. Mccarthy, should ap-
proximate 5000: District Attorney
Langdon's plurality over MCGOWAN,
the Union Labor nominee, $4,000;
with Ryan, Republican, running
poor third in the mayoralty race. 1t is
not likely that the full count of all the
precincts. which may not be completed
before a late hour today, will ma
terially change the apparent results.
Lincoln-ROosevelt League Wins.
Sacramento, Nov. 6.-The ncoln-
Roosevelt Republican league won its
initial victory in this city, electing its
candidate for mayor, Clinton L. White,
over NJ. r. Beard. Democrat incum-
bent, by a majority of lis votes.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
Antigraft Ticket Appears to Have
Won in Frisco.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 6.-The
election in this city yesterday proved
a veritable landslide for the antigraft
leaders, and returns from every pre-
cinct so far received. show that the
Good Government ticket has been
overwhelmingly elected from top to
bottom. 1t is estimated that Mayor
Taylor has been elected by plurality
of more than 1900 votes. while Dis
trict Attorney William n. Langdon,
has so far, majority of 10000 votes
over MCGOWAN. his opponent. Some
uncertainty is felt in regard to the Of
fees of auditor and county clerk. as
two candidates for the positions, Hor-
ton and Mulcrevy on the Union Labor
ticket, have apparently run ahead of
their ticket. These. however. are the
only possibilities apparent. and with
these exceptions there will be a clean
sweep for the entire Good Government
ticket. The election passed off quiet
Iy, free from any riotous demonstra-
tons and in spite of the tense strain,
voters were subjected 20, there was
not the slightest disorder at the polls.
The total vote cast is estimated at
from $1,000 to $4,000.
Count Is Slow.
San Francisco. Nov. 6.-The counting
of the ballots is proceeding very slow
ly. Mayor Taylors plurality is esti-
mated al 14.OG0, and Langdon for dis
trict attorney at 10000.

Legislature Is Republican.
Trenton. N. J.. Nov. 6.-Returns are
coming slowly but the present indica-
tions are that J. Franklin Fort, Re-

about 5000 plurality. This will de-
pend altogether upon the result in
Hudson county, which includes Jersey
City. Hudson county was last night
placed in the tables as giving $4,000
for Frank $. Katzenbach, Democrat.
The figures as compiled today indicate
that the plurality may not go above

PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION.
Illinois State Chairman Feels Greatly
Encouraged.

Chicago. Nov. 6.-Alonzo F. Wilson
chairman of the state prohibition COM
nlittee. said today:
The general success of the prohibit
ton movement throughout the south
and in this state, wherever the people
have been given the opportunity to
manifest their views is an indication
that people are fully awakened to the
dangers of the liquor traffic.
Illinois is in a better condition as
regards prohibition than most people
are aware. There are ten prohibition
counties and from the reports of the
election it is likely that other counties
have joir@@ the prohibition group Fiji
sy thousand square miles of the state
are now prohibition territory, and it
won't be long before the remaining
5000 square miles also are made pro-
hibirion territory. Nearly 5000. 0Oc. PEG
pie live in the territory.
Yesterdays election, in nv belief
will be followed by a demand for addi-
tional legislation that will enable the
foes of the liquor traffic to continue
their warfare against 1t. 1t also is evil
dent that the people OF the country
have become thoroughly aroused over
the arrogance and power of the saloon
