AS a celebration of Keller's vic

the future mayor to accompany him
to the baseball game between st.
Paul and Columbus, at Lexington
Park yesterday. They occupied
box at the game.
The republicans won the lead in
everything on the ticket except the
board of aldermen, in which the
democrats retained a majority. All
of the executive Offices, mayor, comp
troller, treasurer, including the right
of appointment to large number of
the smaller Offices, we're captured
by the republicans.
Considerable speculation was rife
in St. Paul yesterday as to the
reason for the republican landslide.
Henry G. Haas, the defeated candi-
date, declared that the people wanted
a change. He said, my record is
as good as that of any man in St.
Paul. I have fought consistently
for the peoples interets and have
done as much as any man. The
people wanted change. They got
it. accept their verdict. ! trust
that Bert Keller will give a good
administration: I am still loyal to
St. Paul"
Democratic politicians do not
know what hit them. They blame
the increase of taxes for their defeat.
Republicans also assert that the tax
question was responsible for the
victory, but give the newspapers
credit for informing the voters about
the various issues.
Herbert P. Keller was elected
mayor by a plurality of 4,918, the
largest plurality ever given to a
mayor OF st. Paul. Mr.. Keller's vote
was 17,1O4 against vote of 1876
for Henry G.. Haas, his Democratic
