DUNNF wins GREAT
FIGHT FOR DECtNCY
Continued from Page i, Column 1

Frank II. Dunno and the triumph o.
the cause of decency by substantial
plurality over all the judicial candidates
| is assured by the incomplete returns
from 2S1 out of 500 San Francisco pre-
cincts. Judge Dunno, who was denied
a place on the republican ticket by ths
machine republican convention, domi
mated by the allied forces of graft, car
| ried virtually every precinct in ths
populous republican residence districts
On the face of the incomplete returns
showing more than $4,000 ballot:
counted, Judge Dunno received prac'
tically two-thirds of the whole vote
That this ratio will be maintained II
! indicated by the fact that the Is miss
| ing precincts are widely separated anc
are in districts that conformed to th'
general character of the vote for the
honest judge.
The ordinance granting the mys-
l'terious John j. Egan a blanket street
| car franchise was beaten by vote ol
nearly to 1. All the other copstitu-
tional amendments and legislative acts
| including the tax amendment, were
ratified by the votersNof San Francisco
| by substantial majorities. The direc'
| primary amendment; the amendment
| limiting legislative expenses and the
night school afnendment-rec received the
most decisive majorities. The India
basin act was ratified by the electors
of San Francisco by vote OF nearly
! to /. San Francisco approved the
proposed removal of the capital IRON
Sacramento to Berkeley by vote OF
nearly to /. The incomplete returns
| indicate that fully so per cent OF al
the voters expressed their wishes or
all of the constitutional, Legislative
and municipal propositions submitted
! to them.
San Francisco fully vindieated her re-
publicanism yesterday and In the re-
election of Judge Frank III. Dunno al
the head of her Judiciary ticket proved
to the nation that her citizens are
heartily in accord with the splendid
| work of the graft prosecution Judge
John Hunt, the dean OF the San tran-
cisco bench, ran close to Judge Dunne
On the face of the incompletes returns
Judge Cook is reelected and Judge
Sturtevant has a lead over his nearest
contestant, John j. Van Nostrand
which the complete returns will prob
ably fail to overcome.
MACHINE KNIFEs REPUBLICANS
The defeat of six republican candi-
dates for the assembly and the prob
able defeat of two more may be attrib-
uted both to the character of some OF

the republican machine openly knitted
those republicans nominated against its
wishes. Finn in the seventeenth, Welch
| in the nineteenth and Wolfe in the
twenty first seatorial districts won out
by decisive pluralities. John McGee
republican has probably defeated John
p. Hare in the twenty third. On the
face of the incomplete returns Lester
Burnett, republican. has lead of only
fifth, and 1T seems the complete returns
will show the election OF Ackerman in
district which is normally republican
by nearly 1000.
Republican candidates for the assem-
bly, were. defeated In the thirtieth

thirty fourth and fortyfft districts
The results in the big thirty-seventh
and the forty-second are in doubt. with
more than A possibility of the election
of democrats in both.
Out of a total registration of $4,000
approximately $4,000 votes were cast
in San Francisco. Nearly one-half OF
the total vote was counted at midnight
in PSI out of 800 precincts.
HAYES DEFEATS TRACY
In those San Francisco assembly dis
tricts which are included in the fifth
congressional district E. A Hayes ran
nearly up TO the ratio of his vote in
1906. George A. Tracy. the democratic
and union labor nominee, failed to
break into the vote in the big union
labor districts as his friends expected
he would, and with Hayes polling ap-
proximately the normal republican vote
in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties
the complete returns Will probably
show his election by about 5000.
The surprising run made by Judge
James G. Mcguire against Julius Kahn
leaves the result in the fourth in doubt
until the returns are completed. On
