The Democrats Win in a Major
ity of Oklahoma Cities.

Chicago. April 5.-Carter H. Harrison,
mayor of Chicago from 1897 until 1905,
and son of Carter H. Harrison, senior.
who occupied the mayors office from
1879 to 1887 and was assassinated during
his worlds fair year term, was elected
mayor for the fifth time. He defeated
Charles E. Merriam, his Republican OPP
ponent. by HOSP votes, gaining a total
of 177.35S votes.
In spite of the opposition of most of
the press, the election was a complete
Democratic victory.
Professor Charles E. Merriam, his
Republican opponent conceded the
election to Mr.. Harrison at $50 p. M,
two and half hours after the polls
closed, but said the results were such
as would give him hope for another
contest
Scrutiny of the returns by wards and
precincts show that Professor Merriam
was given nearly per cent less votes
than given Busse (Republican) folr
years ago, while Harrison ran more
than II per cent ahead of the figures Of
Dunno DemocraD at that time. The
vote reached above 100000 which is APP
proximately $4,000 more than the record
ct the last mayoralty contest.
In spite of this, both sides agreed
that Merriam lost through failure of
the silk stocking wards to show the
strength that had been expected in
favor of the college man.
While the First ward gave it's usual
Democratic plurality, it was not alone
from this and the river wards that
Harrison drew his support. His eigh.
years service in the mayors chair drew
many votes his opponents had counted
on and his promise of 20 cent gas was
said by his managers to have had d
f..eT Il
wards. where he showed unexpected
strength.
Failure of the Dunno Democrats and
those included in the camp of Roger c.
Sullivan to forget party lines and vote
for Merriam, was given by the Iatter's
managers as the basis of the profess
sor's defeat.
One of the features of the campaign
was the vote polled by the Socialist
party. F'ive-sixths of the total pre-
cinets. the first in, indicated that the
vote would reach $4,000, a gain of II, 900
other hand, the Prohibition vote which
had been 5,S75 four years ago, dropped
to 5000 this year.

SOCIALISTS CAPTURE VICTOR.
Democrats Win in Pueblo and Lead
vile. Colo.

Denver, April 5.-More complete re-
turns from yesterdays elections in
Colorado show that the "wets' and
the "drys" divided the state almost
equally. In regaining Colorado
Springs, however. that city voting to
resume liquor selling under decidedly
restricted conditions, the VETS have
the advantage. Another significant
feature of the elections was the carry
ing of Victor, one of the big mining
camps of the state, by the Socialists.
In Pueblo, the second city of the state,
the Democratic ticket was successful
in one of the few straight partisan
fights of the day. Leadville remained
Democratic while the Republicans
were successful at Manitou.
In the ''wet' column are Burlington,
Carbonate, Colorado Springs, Holly,
Las Animas, Littleton, Milliken, Nor
wood, Swink and Colorado City.
The "drys' captured or continued to
hold Boulder, Evans, Edgewater Fort
LuptOn, Lamar and La Junta.

and Ohio and the decline of the same
amount in National Biscuit. Peoples Gas

The marker became weak with consider
able depression against the recognized
leaders. Union Pacific sold a point below
yesterdays close and there were similar
declines in Northern Pacific, Lehigh Val
ley and Northwestern. Canadian Pacific
gave way two points and a break of 212
in Peoples Gas were attributed to the re-
suit of the municipal election in Chicago.
There were a few strong stocks among
the inactive specialties, Lackawanna
moving up ten points, American Canad-
ia preferred Is and General Electric ~.
Trading was more active this morning
than for many days previous with the
greater part of the business coming from
the short side. Bear traders showed more
confidence and succeeded in forcing re-
cessions in many stocks although ad-
vances in other issue gave the market
appearances of irergularity occasionally.
The advance of Baltimore and Ohio was
attributed in part to buying by London
from which point there came report
that Pennsylvania had offered to take
over Union Pacific holdings of the stock
at 10, and that the offer had been re-
fused.
The report met with prompt denial here
but it was generally believed that accum-
ulation of the stock in larg way was
going on. The trend of prices was up
ward at midday and the list ruled at last
nights close. An active inquiry for Ma
tional Biscuit cancelled its early decline
and there was brisk demand for Ameri-
can Canada which moved up 21a on re-
ports that the stock would be placed on
a higher dividend basis. Associated OH

Standard stocks were in better demand,
