CLEVELAND. Nov. 5.-Mayor Tom L.
Johnson was elected today by big ma
1ority over Congressman theodore Bur-
ton, achieving the greatest triumph Of
his long career, and thoroughly discredit-
Ing the Republican machine of Ohio
which attempted to overcome his tre-
mendous popularity by scurrilous libels.
Late tonight the Burton managers con-
ceded Johnson's election by about 5000
votes.
Congressman Burton was stunned by
his overwhelming defeat, as he came to
Cleveland at the express orders of the
administration, when those highest in ma
tional Republican councils advised that
"Johnsons influence in Cleveland, is

Local questions were submerged in the
general rebuke of Washington's interfer-
ence with Cleveland's private affairs. and
Johnsons election Is taken as a public
slap lat the administration advisers who
were responsible for taking Burton out
Of his field in the house of representa-
tives to compel him to act as the Re-

itics in Cleveland.
The Republican managers hopes that
Burtons election would give them q hold
on the city during the 1908 campaign have
been disappointed. and the citizens OF
Cleveland have given an undeniable and
emphatic warming to the Republican adj

Incidentally, johnson forced Burton to
stultify himself in the exciting street

manner of the poor. Here he turned to
some old men, asking them who had been
the principal men of the community sew
enteen years before. After some rehec-
which, however, had nothing in common
tion the men mentioned d few names,
with those names that appeared on the
letter. He drew forth the letter, read
the names written there, and asked the
old men when the men namel had been
prominent in the community The eld-
est of the group, after deep cogitation.
said: Il can remember all the Jews
of the last seventy-fve years who were
prominent among us-in spite of my ad-
vanced age my memory is as clear as
crystal-but l know that during all that
time no one bearing either Of those names
has been in power. .,....
Then another said:
''There are indeed, two young people
here, bearing those names, but they have
scarcely outgrown their apprenticeship,
have been lately married, and have, as
yet, held no Office
A third called out, laughingly, "Well,
have little patience, even now the names
of our officers are being drawn from the
urn; who knows you may be able to de-
liver your letter to them at once?'
This gave rise to much raillery. While
they were giving way to their merriment,
the door was suddenly opened, and two
high-spirited boys rushed in, crying:
Congratulations The election is
over! The youngest men in the council
have become our elders!''
And they cried out jubilantly the very
names which were specified on the letter
of the Baal-Shem. Then great wonder
came upon the people, and the men ac-
companied the stranger to the house of
assembly, where the newly elected elders
were being installed into office. Informed
of the unusual circumstances, and be-
wildered by them, the inn-keeper
stepped up to the two men, and handed
them the letter, saying:

The Baal-Shem Letter
ALesend Of the Chassidim


neighborhood Of Brody While still
few miles from the city it seemed best
to him to seek lodgings for the night,
and he turned to small inn which was
kept by a polls Jew. The host, recog
nizing his guest as the Master, did every
thing a willing heart and a well-ap-
pointed house made possible, to do hon.
age to the Baal-Shem. The next day af-
ter breakfast when the visitors were pre-
pairing to continue the journey, the Baal-
Shem addressed his host: elf thou hast
any wish it shall be granted, if thou i'm
partest it to me this day"
"Master, " said the other, forsooth l
can say nothing to you, for God has
blessed by worldly condition exceed
ingly." .
When the holy man heard this, he
smiled gently and said, with familiar
air:
"Well, since I am not able to grant
thee any request, my friend, wouldst be
willing to do me small service?'
With this he stepped to the table,
wrote something on a piece of paper,
folded and sealed it, and wrote. the adj
dress to which he wished to have it de-
livered. Then he approached his host
and said i-N
Behold here | have written, and it
is necessary that thou givest it as soon
as thou mayest to the heads of the con-
gregation at Brody, whose names thou
shalt find written on it. ~
The master of the house was delighted
to undertake the errand, took the letter,
placed it in his vest pocket carefully, and
said: u,
"This very day household errand
takes me to town. I shall 60 there at
once and deliver the letter.
Then the Baal-Shem smiled again,
tapped the. innkeeper on the shoulder,
and said: ..ef
"Well, friend, be not in too great a
hurry; there is no need of great haste.
Meanwhile, wouldst thou like to accom-
pany us little way9"
Thereupon the other rushed into the
little room near the stable, where he kept
his best harness in trunk. AS he was
bending down to pull it out from under
meath the dust Of the trappings, the let
ter fell from his pocket and slipped
among the harness, falling to the bottom
of the box. The man in his hurry did
not notice this. And so he went to attend
to the COACH and accompanied the Baal-
Shem part of the way 1t was late when

keeper that the great Master, Israel Baal-
Shem, had departed this life and entered
the ''world of reality.' Then a great
sadness came over the inn-keeper be-
cause it was not ordained for him to
meet the master again, in this world.
Then, in the mirror of his thoughts rose
visions of the day when his house had
been honored by the presence of the
Baal-Shem. The memory of the letter,
however, remained hidden in the dark
ness of oblivion.
Time in it's flight brought many hard
ships to the inn-keeper, and though he
bore himself courageously toward life he
could not check the evil. His house and
possessions dwindled away, and even the
hard labor which he performed day and
night brought him no return, now that
fortune had turned from him. Then
came day when there was no bread in
the house and the children cried in hun
ger Then he could no longer look into
the sad eyes Of his wife. In vain his eyes
scanned the bare walls of the room, to
see whether there might not ba left some
thing which he might be able to exchange
for food-but there was nothing which
had not been disposed of.
AS he thought and thought, he remem-
bered an old chest which had once stood
near the stable, and, at 1ast--since he
for a long time could call neither horse
nor stable his owI-had found it's place,
with other useless rubbish, under the
roof of the wretched little house in
which he now lived. And so he climbed
up there, and rumaged through the old
chest, to see whether there were any old
scraps of leather and metal, for which a
dealer would offer him a few groschen.
While emptying the chest and looking
through it's contents he found on the
floor under thick layer Of dust, the
long forgotten letter, the delivery of
which the Baal-Shem had once-seven.
teen years before-asked him to under
take. He picked it up and read the ad-
dress, and recognized the handwriting.
There arose in image before his mind
everything, alive once more, and tears
gushed forth from his eyes and he cried:
s'Truly, now know the source of all
my misfortune! Alas, thoughtless one, to
have delayed carrying out the commands
of thy master!'
And as he saw once more with sorrow
and remorse the well-known characters,
the thought came to him: Perhaps it
would be we'll if I were to go to-day (al-
though so many years have elapsed) to
Brody with the letter and find the men
to whom it was once written. Perhaps
it may accomplish it's good purpose. +"
