NO ATTEMPT TO KILL RoosE
WELT

The sensational despatch received by
way OF London of an attempt to kill
ex-President Roosevelt by a crazy
Italian 10 in keeping with what is to
be expected from time to time while
he is out Of direct communication
with this country and his friends 1t
has proven to be false-to have no
foundation in fact. The faker of news
never loses the thread of probability In
putting Up the flimsiest sensational
yarn, for that 10 all that gives effect
and secures acceptance Of his pen
products. MT. Roosevelt fills so large a
place in the minds of the people that
he furnishes capital working material,
and the newsmen who are shadowing
him must earn their money. Men who
do this sort Of thing do not care whose
feelings their stir up or how much dis
tress they cause those closest to him
in interest.

heavier than anyone expected This,
combined with the trouble caused by
putting the ballots III envelopes. as re.
quired by the plan, made the count
long and tedious. II was nearly eleven
O'Clock before even the Second ward
was heard from. and it was about
midnight before the Third and Fourth
ward returns were complete. On ac'
count of the lateiiess OF the hour the
city Democratic committee did not
hold the scheduled meeting TO receive
the returns. and the figures given in
the above tables therefore are not
official.
All day yesterday the fight was
waged strenuously by the candidates
and their friends. Carriages and au-
tOmohiles were going TO and fro all
day. and no Democrat who was able
to scratch a ballot was allowed TO re-
main home. Even a number of people
known heretofore as staunch Republi-
cans voted during the day. the under
standing being that they were to sup
port the nominee.
Results Estimated Early
Before the polls claimed the
Stearnes and Mugler forces were
claiming overwhelming victories. and
after the count began every minute
added proof to their assertions. BY
10 o'clock the results had been CON
coded
There was no disorder around the
POLLS at any time during the day and
the unusually heavy vote was cast
ithCut crOwding or delay.
Candidates Quit Field.
Most of the candidates quit the
field as soon as the result was known
with any degree of certainty, and be-
for final, returns came in they were
at their homes. AS it was then past
midnight. it was impossible to call
upon them for interviews upon the re-
suits. One. Captain Berkeley. was
seen by a Daily Press representative
just as he was starting to turn in"
and he took time to say, Il wish to
express my gratitude to my many
warm friends who supported me so
splendidly, and to the people for the
confidence reposed in me by their
votes. I also wish to congratulate Mr..
Christian and Mr.. Moss upon the
clean fight made by them. and the
friendship and confidence shown them
by the large number of votes they
received"
Committee Meets Tomorrow.
The city committee will meet at the
city hail tomorrow night to receive
and canvass the returns. In view or
the large majorities pluralities, it is
hardly probable that any contests will
follow.
