A Word About the Candidates
Who Have Been Elected to

1" HE November elections this
year were remarkable chiefly
for the interest which prevail
ed all over the country In To-
cal contests The struggle over the
election of mayor and board of esti-
mate and apportionment in New York
city wholly overshadowed the consti-
tutional amendments submitted In the
state. California had no gubernatorial
election, but If there had been a state
contest this year 1t would have meant
little compared with the intense impor-
lance attached to the mayoralty ques-
ton. In Ohio there was no state cleo
ton. but the political excitement over
the fifth candidacy of Tom l.. Johnson
ran above the usual high water mark.
In Toledo the candidacy of Brand
whitlock was almost equally engross-
ing. In Louisville the contest over
city and county tickets aroused greater
activity than has been attached to
state campaign for many a day. Mas
Rhode Island and Virginia

THOSE ESKIMO MURDERERs.
Explorer Rasmussen Defends the No
toriaus East Greenlanders.

NoftGdS EaSk 1TGGNt1DQeTSs
Knud Rasmussen. the Danish sci
enlist. who supports DR.. Cooks claim
as to the discovery of the north pole,
has written a book on life among the
Eskimos which has established his
reputation as an authority.
Rasmussen tells some weird stories
about the horrible murders practiced
by these Eskimos In their earlier days,
but in summing up their general char
acteristics he adds
81 have never in the course OF my
travels lived with more cheerful. more
amiable and good humored people than
these east Greenlanders, who. had they
lived in civilized state, would have
paid the penalty Of the law for most
horrible murders"
And again, speaking Ct the Eskimos
as a whole. he says:
"There is no people with a history
which. as regards the bitterness of its
struggle for existence and the eeriness
Of its memories, can be compared with
the best of the Eskimos. Yes, they are
good natured and filed with a desire
for peace in spite of all. But do not
forget that they are, first and fore
most, men. and men formed by the ma
ture surrounding them. The mind Of
the Eskimo can be quiet and serene,
but it can be savage and remorseless
as the ocean itself"

President Taft, who with a fortitude
little less than sublime has been par.
taking of all kinds of new and strange
dishes on his tour and smiling as IL he
liked them, has another ordeal before
him. The Pie Salesmen's union, whose
members recently went on strike with
the pie bakers. decided recently to
day present of monster union pie,
the largest ever baked. 1t is to be
delivered on Thanksgiving morning at
the White House by Henry Henkin
and D. Papin, two members, who are
tried and true union men.
The decision was reached at meet
ing of the union at Odd Fellows hall.
SO st. Marks place, New York. When
the meeting was over Secretary Schutt
said:
THE mince pie will be the biggest
and best ever made. The men who
pies. and it will be so crisp and APP
petizing that when 1t is finished all
who eat it will wish there had been
more of it. 1t will be made at one of
the cooperative bakeries started by
the strikers"
The largest loaf of bread ever made
was fifteen feet long, three feet wide
and two feet deep. This mark will be
completely eclipsed by the monster pie.

In the recent campaign Judge Gay
nor occupied an anomalous position
In the spring and early summer before
the nominations be was generally re-
garded as the most promising indie

Then appeared his famous letter In
which he said that he would accept the
Tammany nomination, after which the
committee of one hundred. the Repub-

refused further TO consider him.
Victory of Fusionists.
Outside Of mayor the fusionists con-
troll all important offices In New York.
The real government of the city is
invested In the board of estimate and
apportionment On this board the
mayor has three votes, the comptroller
three votes. the president of the board
of aldermen three votes. the presi-
dent of the borough of Manhattan two
votes, the president of the borough OF
Brooklyn two votes. borough president
of the Bronx one vote, borough presi-
dent of Queens one vote. borough
president of Richmond one vote; total.
sixteen votes. All these. with the ex-
ception of Gaynor. are fusionists or
independents. The comptroller. W. A.
Prendergast. is q fusion Republican.
The president Of the hoard of alder
men, John Purroy Michel. is fu-
sion Democrat, which Is also the case
with George McAneny. borough presi-
dent Of Manhattan, the glan who in
vestigated the deposed Tainmany bor-
ough president Ahearn. The borough
president of Brooklyn. A. Il. Steers.
Borough President of the Bronx @. 9.
Miller and Borough President of Rich
mond G. Cromwell are all fusionists.
while the borough president of Queens,
l.. Gresser. is u Hearst independent.
This gives the anti-Tammany forces
fifteen votes to Gaynor's three.
An amusing part of all this is that
Gaynor repeatedly said that he. would
not serve unless his Tammany asso-
ciates could be elected with him.
President Mitchell of the board of al
dermen. who would become mayor in
case Gaynor resigned, is now calling
on that gentleman to make good his
threats.
Tybalt Wallace, the steward of the
Cayuga club in New York city, show
ed his confidence in Judge Gaynor as
the winner of the mayoralty election
