Mills and Roys a
Strange Parallel
der deroooooOoNooeeee .

"Aha! they've got a pry under
that lid!"
1t was Attorney Bob Evans.
democratic politician, big A. u.
Mills booster, in the exurberance
of his Joy last night at the city
clerks office when the returns
were coming in.
Evans grabbed every precinct
lead of Mills with avidity. First
to report were the down town
precincts of the Third ward. 1t
was all Mills. Then came the pre-
cincts of the silk stocking Second.
II was Mills again, and Evans in
his excitement gave away the
whole Mills campaign.
But the lid is not off in Tacoma
yet.
Fight Still On.
Down in the Fifth and Sixth
where the honest toilers live they
were sitting on that lid with grim
determination and out in the Sew
enth and Eighth where the little
home owners and the churches
are located the voters for Petit
rolled in by hundreds until the big
lead of Mills was almost over
come.
An analysis of the vote of yes
terday will be an eye-opener to
those who accepted the word of
Mills that he was not the open
town candidate.
Every down town precinct re-
turned a majority for Mills, run
ming as high as FIVE to one against
Petit.
The Third ward gave Mills
1898 to 656 for Petit.
Sandberg Helps Out.
But in the notorious second
precinct 1t was 6S for Mills to 10
for Petit; in the third, 81 to %;
in the fourth, 101 to 43; in the
fifth, "a to 20; In the Sandberg
fifteenth, 27 to 8, and in the six
teenth, 70 to IA.
Here's Strange Parallel.
The vote yesterday between
Petit and Mills was very similar
to that last year between Petit
and Roys at the first election.
Then Roy sled Petit and in the
corporation and down town pre-
cincts had everything, while the
opposition to these twin special
interests was divided.
In the second election the vote
stood Petit, 1881, and Roys,
7,161.
That Roys vote looks very much
like the Mills vote precinct by pre-
cinct yesterday.
The parallel is startling.

DIR, HAZARD IS
GROWING WEAK

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
SEATTLE, April 3.-Dr. Linda
Burfield Hazard lost exactly Ia
pounds in the first week of her
fast. Her weight was taken Off
cially by Thomas G.. Macdonald,
physical instructor of the Seattle
Athletic club. She looks thin
and pale, but feels exceptionally
we'll and cheerful.
On next Tuesday night DR.. Haz-
zard will hold a big meeting to
mark the 14th day of her fast,
when she is supposed to be medi-
cally dead, according to some ply
sicians, who assert that a human
cannot go without food for more
than IA days.
Fasting at this stage is not at
all difficult" DR.. Hazard said
this morning, for appetite has
been curbed, and hunger has not
yet started. OF course, when hun
ger returns then the fast will have
to be broken"
