two more than the necessary majori-
~.
Hearst ran poor race. Once de-
feated in his contest for the mayor
atty against Mcclellan in 1905, he
went down again with total of less
than 100000, as against approximately
245,O00 for Gaynor and 174,000 for
Barnard.
With but Sc election districts out Of
1879 missing, the total vote of the
greater city for the three candidates
was as follows:
Gaynor, 243,s70.
Barnard, 174,39s.
Hearst, 1850.
This gives Gaynor lead of 70,47
over Barnard and 95,321 over Hearst.
The features Of the election were
the general absence of disorder and
the rapidity with which the vote was
cast, Notwithstanding the unwieldy
and complicated ballots.
Although many arrests were made
for violation of the election law, the
greater part of these were found to be
due to clerical errors or misunder-
standings. The professional repeater
and the guerilla were chiefly notable
by their absence.
Credit for this satisfactory state Of
affairs was given largely to the new
signature law, put into practice for
the first time in New York municipal
election. Under this law, every voter
after receiving his ballot is compelled
to write his name and have it com.
pared with the signature which he
made at the time Of registration.
