for-the third time today and the entire
republican ticket was swept into con
froi with him. Mott carried every
Of the 79 voting precincts. The vic
tory was so sweeping that even the
seventh ward, which was considered
doubtful. was landed in the Mott col
umn. and J.. \. Cobblediek. the repub-
iican nominee against Aitken and T.
N. Gardiner, the Jackson candidate,
won by 500 TO coo.
Motts plurality over DR.. Jackson is
estimated at 2,0Oo possibly it viii be
more. The ward councilmen were re-
turned by substantial votes, ranging
in maiorities for the republicans over
the Jackson candidates Of from 100 to
To0l
The result Of the election was consid-
cred by his friends as a splendid vote of
confidence in Mayor Mott, in that he
had been the object of unusual defama-
ton and abuse. 1t was also considered
yindication Of the administration pol
Icy regarding the water front. which
called for the Southern Pacific COM
panys Immediate recognition of Oak

1t was upon this issue today's cleo
ton. as wei as that of the charter

days election was interesting in spots
The total vote was Il. .253, about so per

Interest in the ward fights centered
chiefly in the seventh. There the battle
waged nard all day. The republicans

SO
MOTT BEHIND HERE
Mayor Mott ran somewhat behind
Coboledick, but carried the ward by
about 400. The final count will slightly
reduce CObbledick's lead, as the un-
completed precincts were against him
The socialist vote fell off consider
ably from that polled at the general
election In November running about
500
Dr. Jackson's best showing was in
the third ward. but in none did he come
within reaching distance He carried

OF the result Mayor Mott said.
That the figures should be so de-

one. The people of Oakland have my
deepest thanks for this vote of conf
dence. am convinced that the coming
two years will be as progressive in
municipal affairs as have the last four.
