Headquarters at Mid
night

The difference i'm the way in which
the compilation of returns was made
at the Good Government headquarters
and at the headquarters of George
A. Smith was most striking. In the
rooms of the Good Government or
ganization were scores of bright, eager
young men who manipulated adding
machines, typewriters and telephones
and carried out the work of tabulation
and compilation with machine-like pre-
cision. Hour after hour they worked
under the direction of Meyer Lissner
and j. o. Koepfli and other leaders. A
general air of cheerfulness perVaded
the place throughout the entire night
and into the early hours of the morn

At the Smith headquarters there
were no adding machines, apparently

Men Despondent Soon After
Scattering Returns Begin
to Appear

The machine element gathered early
and departed early at Smiths head
quarters, 1927 South Spring street, last
night. Smith, surrounded by few
choice spirits, took what comfort ne
could from the returns, smiling grimly
under his mustache as the figures from
a scant number of precincts gave him
inconsequential, and infrequent leads in
certain localities. 1t became evident
early in the evening that he must be-
come satisfied with second place and
the only cheerfulness that was mani
tested when incomplete returns were
read by George Black of the rump eX-
ecutive committee showing Smith three
or four votes ahead of his strongest
opponent, the returns apparently being
split up in order that some solace
might be impaired to the mournful
hearts of the candidate and his friends.
Early in the night Farish's name
was dropped from consideration and

"Why Parish had butted in, anyway
ASK Phil Wilson of the realty
board; he'll tell YOU" replied a SYM
pathizer.
At 1880 o'clock, when Mushet forged
slightly ahead, Smith began to express
doubts that he w0uld see his name on
the December ballot When the re-
turns were called out, giving the re-
turns for himself and Alexander only,
he inquired anxiously for the standing
of Mushet, and when they were read
his anxiety was increased.

what about Mushet?" asked Smith,
and shook his head dolefully when the

that hour that Smith, In spite of the
hopeful words of his friends, would
make no prediction as to the outcome.

Am Endless Procession

the conversation among the machine
element was built on the assumption
that If Mushet and Parish and even
Jones had not been on the primary
ticket their strengthen at least
enough of it to beat the imam who
has made good"-would have been
thrown to Smith. This long-drawn
conclusion, when it was voiced by
Chairman Casselman, was eagerly
grasped at and revived to some extent
the dwindling spirits of the crowd,
Gloom Thiekens
Gloom predominated as the night
wore on. Justice A. b. Ling, one of
the county members of the organiza-
ton, created some merriment by re-
lating an amusing experience to a few
friends and their responsive laugh
sounded sacreligious amid the prayer
meeting atmosphere.
Occasionally somebody would dis
turb the quietude by reading from a
slip of paper showing that Smlths
lead in some precinct could be count
ed on the figures of one hand only to
be followed by the announcement that
the returns were incomplete and re-
sumption of the funeral silence.
The system employed to gather re-
turns was extremely bad, complete pre-
cinct figures being few and far be-
tween. The first complete returns for
the entire ticket from any one precinct
were brought to Smith headquarters
from precinct 13 by Constable Eddie
Rice, and he was Justify cheered when
he reported the voting in that precinct
favored Smith.
A number of candidates for minor
offices were present, but departed
early, disgruntled when they discov-
cred that they could learn nothing con-
cerning their chances, everything being
discarded in the effort to learn the out

Then he left the place, taking with
him several other members OF the
gathering.

night at Smiths gathering place was
the presence of a large number of ma

pa1ities. The old line of politician who
follows the game for what there is in
il for him, the ward heeler and the
petty hanger-on who has few votes
which he can or convinces the can
didate he can deliver were all repre-
sented.
Fred Spring, one time Socialist, but
repudiated by that party, later on
municipal ownership advocate, and still
later a trainer with any camp that
would listen to him, was in evidence
at the Smith rendezvous. Spring rep
resents that he has a few labor votes
to deliver. but among organized labor
he has no standing.

Palethorpe officiated at n lonesome tel

the sadder he grew. A monumental
crouch against newspaper men de
veloped early in the game and soon

the door. Again the Alexander and
Good Government vote as shown by
the returns cast CONSERVATION into the
camp of a defeated and disgruntled
politician. There was no system and
no effort to make any compilation
worthy of the name.
Parish Admits Defeat
Oscar e. Parrish who has made such
a clean-cut campaign and who at
tracted to his banner some of the best
business and professional men of the
community, was surrounded last night
by the better class of young men who
awaited at his headquarters for re-
turns. Early in the evening Stanley
Benedict admitted to the newspaper
men that his candidate was defeated
and the name of Parish would not ap-
pear on the ballot
DR.. J. w. Jones' followers gathered
at his headquarters and adopted d
sliding scale of estimates and calcula-
tions which required constant pairing
as the evening wore on and the votes
failed to materialize. From an early
estimate of 1000 votes the ,vote-on-
paper of DR.. Jones declined steadily.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning Jack Ed
wards sorrowfully conceded defeat.
The Socialist candidate. w. Scott
Lewis. remained all evening at Social
ist headquarters, surrounded if not en-
veloped in his loyal followers. At mid
night, the rooms were closed; but it was
announced that at least two other
candidates had received fewer votes
