MUNICIPAL AND STATE
ELECTIONS TUESDAY
Republicans Are Successful in
Most Instances.
Gaynor. Tammany, Elected Mayor
OF Greater New York JUDGE w.
w. M'Credie Successful for Con-
sress From Second District.

The elections Tuesday-state and mu
nicipal-thrOughout the country created
wide interest, particularly in San Fran
cisco and New York city. William J.
Gaynor, Tammany democrat, was elected
mayor OF Greater New York by over
10000 plurality Barnard, republican,
came next in the popular vote, Hearst
scoring third. Gaynor's election, how
ever, is barren OF results-such as Tam
many particularly desired-for the dis
patches inform us that the republican
fusion forces will control absolutely the
board OF estimates and apportionment,
which will disburse approximately ST.
600, 900, 900 during the administration.
This is more than a half defeat for Tam
many Hall, for the control Of the board
OF estimates was one of the principal is
sues OF the campaign. In addition, the
republican fusiOnists elected Charles S.
Whitman district attorney for New York
county. He defeated George @. Battle,
democratic nominee, by at least 5000
plurality, and John S. Shea for sheriff ia
elected over G. D. Sullivan, democrat, by
approximately 10000 This election
will also eliminate Hearst as factor in
national politics.
Heney Defeated in San Francisco.
After three years Of reform govern
mnnt which followed the sensational
bribery graft disclosures in the Ruef-
Schmitz union labor administration in
1906-O7, San Francisco has again chosen
union labor administration by the
election OF P. II. Mccarthy for mayor
and Chas. M. Fickert for district attor-
ney. A continuance of the graft prose
cutions was the dominant issue and
Heney lost Fickert, who beat Heney
by L 900 votes, during the election de-
clared that, if elected, he would carry on
the graft prosecutions with unabating
vigor. He asserts that he will prosecute
only such OF these cases as, after careful
Investigation, he is convinced can be
carried to a successful result" This
means that the prosecutions against
Calhoun and others of his class will be
dropped. What about Ruef and

HUNTERS RETURN.
Irwin's Party Kill One Deer Find
0uackers Scarce.

Colfax nimrods, who started out last
week in different directions in search OF
game, returned this week, but did not
report great success. j. l.. Irwin re-
turned from the Blue mountains, the

that was the only one they saw. Irwin
went to Dayton, where be was Joined

penetrated the Blue mountains 25 miles
from Dayton by team. While only one
deer was captured grouse were plentiful

The Blue mountains, Irwin says, is a
beautiful country to hunt in. it being full
of undulating, or rolling valleys, having
park like appearance, small streams
flowing from every direction.
The five autos, loaded with hunters
and equipage, which left Colfax Thurs
day morning of last week for Moses
lake, Douglas county, in quest OF ducks,
returned Monday with but few quackers
to their credit. 1t rained most of the
time they were gone, which is said to be
ducks for ducks, but not 30 cOngenial
to hunters. The party probably went
too soon, as arrivals from the north
have not come yet. The autos belong

owners, while other members of the party

Eben 5. Draper, republican, is re elected
governor of Massachusetts, but by
greatly reduced majority The next
Legislature will show the customary re-
publican majority.
In New Jersey republicans will retain
control Of the next legislature.

republicans and was defeated by from
5000 to 10000 majority.
Rhode Island re-elects Aaron j Pothier,

publican ticket we're elected by maiorties

Charles f. Heilman was elected mayor
Republicans declare that the defeat OF
the democrats in Indianapolis was de-

which had contributed largely to the

and despite all efforts to save him the end came Sunday morning. The obsequies were held at the camp Monday, and many citizens from all parts of the county went there to attend.
 Mir. Harmon was about sixty-one years old at the time of his death, and had resided at Washington Camp more than twenty-five years, engaged in mining, merchandising and freighting. He ran the hotel at Washington Camp several years. In 1902 he was elected a member of the board of supervisors of Santa Cruz county, being the only repub- lican on the ticket who was elected, and served a term of two years, de- clining reelection. He was a clear headed, conservative business man, and in every relation of life he commanded the respect and con- fidence of all, and his passing is a loss to the community. To mourn his loss there survive him his widow and a grown step-son, MT. Ernest Harmon, who have in their bereavement the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.
