Az 4NTT-TAHUiNY VICTORY

Judge Gaynors favorite delivera nee.
Il know the people of New York and
they know me-" appears To have been
authoritative. The evidence Of this NUT
ual understanding is to be found in the
tremendous plurality by which he is
elected. 1t is clear now that the people
made up their minds to vote for him,
probably even before he was nominated,
anG that nothing which happened after
ward shook that determination. The
campaign he made. which was certainly
the worst ever made by a candidate for
Mayor of New York, probably cost him
little of his original support. The people
were for him despite his 'temperamental
defects which were So plentifully ex-
hibited on the stump. and were confident
thar once the campaign batting was over
he would appear To advantage again as
Il man of moral force and intellectual
power. Ne hepe sincerely that their
confidence will be justified; and of this
We are sure. he will be q much better
Mayor than he was candidate.
The result of the election has been
such that Mr.. Gaynor should cut free
from his Tammany associations. The
weakness of Tammany is exposed. The
city is again shown to be strongly
aDti-Tammany for the Tammany vote,
even reinforced by air. Gaynor's great
personal strength. is minority. Tam

seeks 10 give the city Il good administra-
tion he will enjoy such cooperation from
item as he could not have had from the
T&mmany men whom he, misguided by
the heat OF the campaign, sought TO have
elected with him.
The result is a great Tammany
victory. Judge Gaypor owes his own
election To the fact that the people be-
lieyed him 10 be at heart an ant-Tam-
many man. And with him the voters

RESTLTS ELSEWHERE.

The few state elections held yesterday
produced no surprises. In Massachu-
sets the plurality for the head OF the
Republican state ticket was cut down
very largely. President Tafts great vote
in 1908. especially in tho city of Boston,
helped the state ticket Of that year ma
terially. The plurality of the electoral
ticket was 10, 423. Some Of the candi-
dates for state offices had pluralities of
more than 100000, but Governor ORA
per's margin was only COLES. This year
Mr.. Draper's plurality will probably bo
between 10000 and $1,000, with larger
balances for the other Republican can
didatcs.
The Republicans have undoubtedly car
ried Rhode Island. Virginia is Demo-
cratic. In Maryland early returns indi-
Gated the defeat of the disfranelisement
amendment and the election of q Demo
cratic State Controller. Returns from
Nebraska We're inadequate. The Phila-
delphia machine carried that city. In
Cleveland Mayor Tom Johnson his been
defeated. He had been elected four
times in succession and had seemed to
be invlncible. The legislatures Of New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island will be Republican. Those
of Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky will
be Democratic. Seldom have the cleo

TIE GonpERs coNrEuPr CASE.

THE GODPERS CONTEUPT CASE.
The decision of the Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia in the case
OF Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison will not, presumably, send those
gentlemen to jail. It is announced that
an appeal will he taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States. III which
event much time may yet elapse before
the case is finally decided. The present
finding does, however, unquestionably
confirm TO a marked degree the original
judgment against the defendants. not
only from legal and technical but also
from p moral point of view, and it will
generally he thus regarded.
There may be those, besides the
friends and partisanJ of Mr.. Gompers
and his associates, who will not only
regret but will unthinkingly resent
judgment which would send to Jail
three men who have been SO conspicuous
III public affairs and who have so many
good qualities and benevolent designs.
If So they will do we'll to consider the
character of the offence of which the
defendants are guilty, and TO recall the
judgments which have, with general ap-
rToval, been executed upon others who
have committed the same offence.
Messrs. I;ompers. Mitchell and Morri-
son defiantly violated an injunction Of
the court. That is precisely what John
y. McKane. Of Gravcsend, did We all
remember what happened to him. and
how heartily his sentence was approved
as merited and just Why should others
who have similarly declared that IN
functions don't co. expect more lenient
treatmentI
If it be argued that Mckanes actions
or threatened actions against which i'll
junction was issued were more offensive
than those OF Mr.. Gompcrs and his as
sociateS the correctness OF that conten
tion may he challcnged though if it
We're correct 1t would not be conclusive.
since punishment is due for offences Of
al degrees. McKane's offence was
violation of the integrity of the electoral
franchise. which WGS undoubtedly Il
grave offence. But Mr.. Gompcrs and his
friends violated the freedom Of In Dor and
cf trade, which must also be esteemed
men who can perceive little moral diff
ference between slavery aud terrorism,
between compelling q man 10 work or 10
trade at the will of others, and prevent
ing him from working or trading ac-
Cording TO his own Will.
The fundamental question involved is
not one OF free speech, as some have
pretended In so far as that question
is involved at all, it takes the form of
whether freedom of speech is 10 bc per-
mitted 10 impair other equally precious
and important freedom-the freedom
to trade. 10 labor and to live. Rather
il it whether the decrees ana judgments
of the courts are to be respected, or are
To be fiouted ut will by those 10 whon
they are directed. Upon that question

FRENCH ELECTORAL SYSTEMS

FRENCH ELECTORAL STSTEfS
The battle of the scrattHs is on once

the republic, aud was then promptly

each department was divided into arrou-
dissements, or single-member districts.

candidate of his reimbursement. In the

! II SION BO4RD.

The result in regard TO the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment almost full
fls the utmost hopes of opponents of
Iammany Hall. Upon this important
board public attention was largely con
centrated because of tho state of the
city's finances and because it will have
much 10 say as TO the spending of about
one billion dollars in the next four years.
The determination of the people not TO
leave the control of that vast sum in
the hands OF Tammany is shown in the
handsome plurality given to Mr. Prem
dergast, the fusion candidate for Con-
troller That official more than any other
will shape the financial character Of the
next administration, and the public was
determined not 10 trust the power Of
his office to Tammany Hall.

night indicated the election of Mr.. Prem

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue OF october 25 y. w.

because OF the possibility OF the landlord
adding the taxes to the rent. Why not

which are the result OF labor be free from
taxes?
To tax land values alone would en-
courage the building of houses, and the
more houses the greater the competition
