pose n brought success to our institu-
ton.
What has been accomplished is only
q f%orerunner Of that which ma be
anticipated in the immediate future.
We have reason to congratulate our
selves upon the fact that while some
errors of judgment may appear no Sc
rious mistake has been registered.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.--while
probably less than a third Of the bal
lots in yesterdays municipal primar-
les had been counted today, there was
no doubt as to the result The only
question was as to the size of the
plurality rolled up by James Rolph,
Jr.. candidate Of the Fused Republican
apd Democratic parties over p. H.

city who sought to succeed himself.
Rolph's plurality over Mccarthy
was estimated at close TO 1900, the
largest ever polled in this city by d
mayoralty candidate.
The election resulted in a veritable
landslide which swept away such
party lines as were left after the
adoption Of the charter amendment
providing for strictly non-partisan
municipal elections and carried Rolph
into Office without the need of a gen.
eral election. Under the charter pro-
visions he 80 mayor elect of the city
