STREET GAMiNS DERIVE
CAPITAL FROM ELECTION

That desire of the "push" politicians
to keep their forefeet continually IN
the public trough evidently is contag-
ious, as even the newsboys and other
street gamins yesterday got every
thing they could out of the primaries.
These little sharpers of the thorough
fares were everywhere in evidence,
suddenly slipping before the pedes-
TRANS faces cards which bore this
legend:
And when it comes 1t brings sooo
cheer;
So dig into your pockets without a
fear,
And remember the newsboy standing
here"
OF course the doggerel is not much
for meter-but gasmen know more
about that than newsboys-and even
Alfred Austin would not be jealous of
the uuatrain, but 1t proved quite prof
liable to the little beggars, who are
not old enough to smoke bad cigars or
bad politicians. They will be some
day, however, and the politicians did
not forget it.
The lines on the cards are almost
the same as the youngsters use in their
begging at every holiday, the only diff
ference being the substitution OF
christmas" "New Year." Fourth of
July or Thanksgiving" instead of
Election" according to the season of
the year.

FINLAYSON CAST BALLOT
FOR HIMSELF, HE ADMITS
Candidate for Judgeship Says He
Exercised His Privilege

Frank G. Finlayson, candidate for
the nomination for the superior court
judgeship. proudly admitted that ne
voted for himself.
IT exercised the great American
privilege of voting for whom l
pleased" he said, land I pleased to
vote for myself. Every little bit helps,
you know.
IT believe that when a man enters
the voting booth he ceases to be FRANK
G. Finlayson, or John Smith, or Tom
Jones, or Jack Robinson, or whatever
his name is, and is simply an Amer
lean voter. Acting on that principle
I cast a ballot for Frank G. Finlay-
son for superior court judge, but that
is all did for myself all day. 1mme-
diately after voting 1 went to my once
and passed the remainder of the DAY
there preparing a law brief.
at is very difficult to size up tne
situation. There seems to be spirit
of insurgency in the air. Many voters
scratched their ballots and the result
NAV thus be more difficult or oelne
learned because of the more time re-
ouired to count the votes"

'TUS' ELDRIDGE MEETS
DETHRONED PUGILIST
Kid Solomon Is Presented to Can
didate for Supervisor

''Tus' Eldridge, candidate to succeed
himself as supervisor of the Third dis
trict, humping brows with kid" Solo
mon, dethroned prize fighter and
more lately a white WINGS" was one
of the primary sights yesterday at 81
North Broadway, the polling place for
precinct No. SO, stronghold OF the
push"
''Tus" was there with his lips
squeezed tightly over a cigar-not of
the brand which he handed out to most
of the men who voted there. That pre-
cinct is in the northernmost borders
of what is known as Sonoratown, and
the majority of it's voters have names
which end Latinly.
For a long time "Tus" talked quietly,
but apparently most emphatically, with
Morris Orsatti, manager of the Interna-
tional Steamship and Railway agency,
and all the time the kid was circling
closer and closer to the master"
Once somebody started to present the
kid" beginning, MIR. Eldridge, you
know Mr.. Solomon, don't" but the
somebody was stopped by "Tus' turn
ing away. Solomon was not discour-
aged, however, and kept up his circling
until he finally caught the masters"
eye and ear What he told can only
be imagined, but 1t took some time to

brighter and his step more elastic
when he had finished holding his head
close to "Tus'"
But that was not the only happening
at precinct No. 36.
No, indeed, The push kindly had
placed upon the election board three
men who did not even live in the pre-
cinct, making an early morning prob
lem for the good government people to
solve quickly They did it, however,
speedily, and things soon began to hum
slowly, but to hum nevertheless.
Among the incidents of the day was
the discovery that John Vallestero and
John ValeStero are the same man. He
was the victim of some misregistra-
ton, but instead of voting twice, if
that were the intention OF those ac-
countable for the man being on the
list twice, he did not vote at all.
There was no one to decide whether
Vallestero or Valestero-only he knows
at present just how to spell his name
had the right to cast his ballot, and
so, as neither regulars nor insurgents
would hedge an inch in the matter,
John went back to work
OF the 257 voters registered in that
precinct, fully twenty were refused the
right to choose nominees for public
offices because they had neglected the
Of stating their party af-
fliation when they registered, and con-
trary to expectations, the refusal
caused no trouble.

AUTO RIDES ENRAPTURE
MANY DILAT0RY VOTERS

One thing about the primaries that
appealed to some voters was the
chance for an ecstasy ride-for that
must be the right name of an auto
mobile trip for them, If to those ac-
customed to such pleasures it is known
as "joy" ride.
To quote from Miss Lavinia, one of
Dickens characters, they certainly
'lolled" at ease in seats commonly oc-
cupied only by the rich. But on cleo
ton day one man is as good as another
until after he has voted, and the
push" literally used machines to
carry men to- the polls.
Even the Chinese were quick to see
the advantage Of election day, from the
free-automobile-ride viewpoint, one Of
them confessing after he finally had
voted that he had discovered on a
previous trip to the polls that he had
not time to vote then only because he
wanted another 10y lide."
One chauffeur estimated that he
would travel about 400 miles yesterday
because of electioneering, and said he
believed about 800 automobiles were in
use In the city for that purpose alone.

AUTO MAN GROWS PEEVlSH
WHEN BALLOT Is REFUSED
Registered as Democrat, Claims
He Is Republican

Thomas McKenna. manager of a
sightseeing automobile tour company,
refused to vote at 437 South Hill street,
the polling place of precinct No. SO,
because he could not cast his ballot
as he wished for Dick Ferris, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for lieutenant governor.
McKenna entered the tent where the
ballots were cast and declared himself
a Republican. He was informed that
he was known to the board as Dem
ocrat. McKenna reiterated that he
was a Republican and had registered
as such.
Still the board refused to take his
word for it and showed him where
they had him officially listed as
Democrat.
Then McKenna refused to vote be-
cause he wanted to cast his ballot for
Ferris, and left the tent, saying to
those outside that the board had re-
fused to permit him to write Ferris
name on a Democratic ballot, which
he would have voted. he said. because
he wanted to aid the theatrical man
ager-aViator-p politician.

AND RICE SLOGAN
OF THE CHINESE VOTERS
Celestial Citizens Were Solid for
Lanky Candidate

1t was a case of Curry and rice in
precinct No. rs.
And the latter ingredient does not
refer to q candidate for constable, Ell
Their.
1t refers to the Chinese, about a
dozen of whom cast their votes in that
precinct, the polling place of which is
at 221 Commercial street, for the Ce-
lestial rice eaters were "strong" for
Curry for governor. There really must
be something in a name, after all, as
none of them could tell just why they
voted for Curry except that ut is
good"
"Oh, Curry good" was the explana-
ton by Lee Doom Chang, a cook, who
admitted his gubernatorial preference
for the lanky candidate. II vote Curry
Curry good.' he repeated, his re-
marks being emphasized by others Of
his countrymen.
Chang, incidentally, was the victim
of misregistration. His name appeared
on the official lists as Tang, fact
which caused a short cessation of his
ballot casting after he had signed his
name Chang. He was told his name
was Tang and he declared to the con-
trary He was told he must sign his
name as he was registered, and after
thinking a few minutes of the pala-
table qualities of Curry he submitted
to the change in cognomen. A member
of the election board scratched out the
offending cognomen and Chang rewrote
1T Tang. Then he went into the voting
booth and returned some three quar-
tiers Of an hour afterward.
All Of the Chinese who vote in pre-
cinct No. rs are registered as Repub-
leans and all of them voted for Curry.
perhaps somebody fixed them,
suggested a member of the board, "or
at least got hold of them. But then
the whole precinct will go about two
thirds for him, anyway"
The Celestials registered there In
clude Ho All Ching, merchant; Wong
Gan, merchant; Young MIN Ho, cook;
Hong Yew Jong. cook; Wang Sin, mer-
chant; Wong Sing, expressmani Ng
Ying,. student; Wong Bin Toy, mer-
chant, and Lee Thing, Interpreter.
Whether the prediction of the chi
nese and other voters in the precinct
is toward Curry because 1t Is part OF
the old bloody ate" ward, ruled over
by Thomas F. Savage, saloon keeper
and Republican politician, certain 1t Is
that Savage still votes there, having
been the twenty-eighth man to cast
his ballot there yesterday.
Another oddly of yesterdays doings
in the precinct is the fact that al
though the law states the polls must
be open at o'clock in the morning,
voters would have had to wait thirty
minutes there, as the ballots were not
to be had until $3.50.
Just what the push had to do with
1t Is not known, unless 1t feared GER
tain early workers might vote against
its wishes.

REPORT LIGHT VOTE IN
COURT HOUSE PRECINCT

Despite the fact that the court house
is regarded as the stronghold of the
push" the voting in the precinct in
which it is located was light yesterday.
The polling place was on the Broad
way steps of the building, and only
about $50 of the 374 registered in that
precinct, No. "A, found their way there.
OF course few of the politicians VINO
make the court house their daytime
headquarters sleep in the neighbor-
hood, and the district generally is filled
with lodging houses, whose inmates
may remain long enough to register
but not to vote.

JOE MARGOLIS ASSERTS
HE is OUT OF POLITICS

Joe Margolis, once lively politician
err" in the district east of Main street,
declared yesterday that he lis out of
politics. and had no interest in the
primaries other than to amuse himself
by watching the manipulations of 9TH
ers.
1--WE must get out sometime and give
others a chance" explained the once
warm advocate of push politics. Il am
just amusing myself now"
Joe's brother, I. Margolis, who here
tofore nearly always has been seen in
his brothers wake whenever an election
or politics was doing" was sick in bed
yesterday, arousing himself only long
enough to cast his vote

CANDIDATES CLASH OVER
ADVERTISING AT POLLS

Whether John st. John, regular"
candidate for delegate to the Repub-
Iican county convention, should be per-
mitted to advertise himself by self
made but gigantic poster bearing his
name and placed by him in the win
dow of the Hotel Valdemar, at Sixth
and Hope streets, the polling place for
precinct No. 81. almost caused physical
friction yesterday.
St. John and his running mate, Theo.
La Fayette, also tastefully formed the
word VOTE" of "stickers' bearing
their names and pasted them on the
window panes.
Charles H. Guild and H. H. Hunts
berger, Good Government candidates,
objected strenuously and lively ar
gument ensued. The regulars" re-
fused to haul down their insignia and
the others finally submitted to it, after
placing their own 'stickers" on the
window glass.
