The city clerk announced that the
figures on the total vote probably
would be complete early today.
Prohibition, the other big issue in
the municipal campaign. received scant
attention from the vote counters and
the fate of the drastic dry" ordinance
remains uncertain. though the proba-
bility is that it has been defeated.

nominating ballot October 81. when
the vote cast totalled $4,000, Mayor
George Alexander polled today appa-
rently more than a to 1 majority

HE MAKES IT CLEAR.
Longworth Says Roosevelt Is Not to
BE Considered in Ohio Campaign.

Washington. Dec. e. Representa-
tive Longworth of Cincinnati, son-in-
law of former President Roosevelt,
has taken occasion to make it quite
clear that Mr.. Roosevelt cannot be
considered in any presidential prefer
ence primary which Mr.. Walter f.
Brown or any one else may have in
mind. He authorized the following
brief statement:
At, like all of Mr.. ROoseVelts real
friends. are discouraging and shall
continue to discourage any movement
to nominate him at the next Repub-
lican convention. In connection with
this I may add that, after leaving Gin
cinnati and before coming to Washing
ton, 1 spent a day with Mr.. Roosevelt
in New York.
Unquestionably this is to be taken as
a direct reply to Mr.. Browns sugges-
ton that Mr.. Roosevelt's name be
placed on ballots at any presidential
primaries that may be held in Ohio.
He seems to make distinction between
Mr.. Roosevelt's real friends" and his
professed friends and that part of the
statement gives the impression, without
stating as much in words, that the SituaS
ton was discussed between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Longworth in the course of their
New York conference

NEW MAN IN RACE
Arthur Capper's Position on Taft
Causing Suspicion, Says Brady.

Senator Brady, the editor of the Law
renee Journal ORD, gives it his
opinion in short but sweet editorial,
that there will be another Republican
candidate for governor besides Arthur
Capper when the roll is called next
August and he will be a man of opin-
ions that are decided, emphatic and
easy to locate at all times and in all
seasons
Senator Brady is a progressive and
a man OF influence in his faction of the
party. He edits a paper of force in
eastern Kansas. He is an opponent
to the theory that a man can master
the laws Of equation by supporting two
masters He takes exception to the
proposition that Arthur Capper, can
didate for governor and editor of the
Topeka Capital, can support both Taft
and LaFollette for president Capper,
the politician. according to Brady, is
for Taft ~apper, the editor. is for La
Toilette. Senator Brady says in an
editorial: ~. E. House, who works
the other end, gives it out that Arthur
Capper is for Taft The Topeka Capt.
tai continues to be for LaFolIette- Tt
means that there will be another Re
publican candidate for governor. The
Republicans of Kansas are becoming
more suspicious every day

Los Angeles, Dec. 6.-The total
vote of 27O out Of the 317 precincts
that participated in the election
showed today:
Mayor George Alexander. Good
Government, 1886. Job Hartman.
Socialist. $1,000. Alexander's major
ity, $1,000.
The forty-seven missing precincts
were expected to swell Alexander'a
lead to more than $1,000. The pro-
hibition amendment was beaten ap-
parently by an even greater major
ity. The Good Government ana Cit-
zens committee forces made clean
sweep for their ticket. At one time
last night II seemed that Frank
Wolfe, former editor OF the Morning
Herald and Socialist candidate for
council, might pull through, but later
returns this morning crushed his
hopes.
Job Hartman. the defeated Social
list candidate for mayor. issued
statement today in which he claimed
that the showing of the Socialists
was in reality a tremendous victory
"Our campaign starts today" he
declared. I'VE will take the legisla-
ture next year
Mr.. Hartman added that the show
ing made yesterday was something OF
which Socialists could be proud.
