Prohibi'ionists Lose Out Ry Vote ol Two and Ebree t0 9ne Ill.,

Los Angeles. Cal, Nov. 5.-Aet8r one of the most terrific botflas Ia the history of American politics, George Alexander was today elected mayor of Los Angeles over the so~ c aiist-Unien Lsbor candidate. lobe Hartman, by majority estimafet. at midnight as reaching fully 35,000
 The attention of the entire United States Was drawn to the political bat tie in Los Angeles by reason of tho victory scored by Hartman in the prin " election of October 3i, when his total vote exceeded Alexander by an unexpected and astonishing fig urc.
 ITarrimans initial victory eectrl- fled the entire city and from that day to this q campaign of unexam- pied earnestness has been waged be- tween the s9ei list and Union Labor managers on one side and the allied organization of good government and .a citizens committee on the other.
 Both sides were confranted by the unique and haffling problem, this be- ing the participation day for the first time in the cItY's hietorv of women voters. Apparently the entire male strength Of Hartman had been poli- ed on October 31, but it was known n in1i let ko talk ng the utmost precaution to reg ister the full strength of the Social ist and union labor female vote and it's unknown quantity that the man. aeers of Alexander had to contend with. As a result they adopted the 8 me tactics. Every possible woman voter on the side of Alexander was brought out and induced to register. The original suffrage organizations Of Los Angeles which have assisted to secure a ballot for women turned in generally fdr Mayor Alexander and gave the Alexander man gers in lin- ing up their strength against So- cial-Union Labor candidate.
 As a result of this active canvass ing there were scenes of exceptional novelty at all the polls today-1ines of automobiles surrounding the booths and women of all degrAe and condition took their places and voted with the same interest and enthus- iasm as their brothers. Rich and pooe alike, they flocked to the polls ani betrayed an unexpected knowledge of the voting machine, and to an inter- est in not only the candid tes them selves but in the attendant issues of the campaign, such as the Prohibition question, etc. It is estimated that fully 75,000 women registered their ballot
 One of the big factors in the Los Angeles campaign has been the Mo Namara trial lobe Harlimo II, as one of the counsel for the accused broth.
