COUNTY RETURNS.
At four clock this morning, the re-
turns showed practically clear sweep
for the Democrats in this city and
county Fern has plurality. Petrie,
Mcclellan, Cox, Arnold, Hardesty,
Markham, Pacheco and Petrie are prob
ably elected as supervisors. Jarrett
and Rose won the expected big victor
les and Catheart is probably defeated.
Bicknell and Kalauokalani are re-
elected and Mccarthy had big lead
over Smithies.
The ninth of the fifth, with one
hundred more to count, was running
two to one Democratic. Final results
may elect Wolters instead of Cox.

Night Comes On.
Soon after five clock the scattering
groups before The Advertiser Office be-
9an to merge into larger and ever larger
ones until the trolley cars, slowly fore
ING their way through the reluctant
masses, seemed almost as ships surg
ing forward through sea, turbulent,
hut good natured. Seen from above the
massed humanity tossed and waved like
a wind.blown sea. Swift changes ran
across its surface, as the returns fash
ed faster and faster on the sheet, re-
minding the watcher of the swift alter
atoms in the ocean. Some brought
boxes and camped between the car
tracks.
AS the figures showed the increasing
lead of the Bourbon nominees the ex-
citement grew greater Men with
stentorIan voices led volieying drifts
of cheers that overlooked the confines
of the street and broke in waves of
sound in the surrounding thorough
fares. And the women of the crowd,

supposed master = whose rule was
doomed now that the Democrats and
women suffrage were together trium-
phant-cheered just as frantically
and lust as continuously as their softer
throats permitted.
In Chinatown Too.
In Chinatown, for time at least,
the holiday spirit was keen. Celestial
citizens of the city appeared to dis
cuss politics with all the interest of
their white neighbors in spite of the
fact that the law does not allow them
to vote. The streets were soon de-
serted, however, by the usual crowds,
bound for points where their thirst for
information might be quenched. They
left Chinatown to add themselves to
the ranks of those packed in front of
The Advertiser office and the Republi-
can headquarters.
Most of them stayed in King street
The crowd before the Republican head
quarters was comparatively small, al
though long lines of automobiles lent
n tone somewhat lacking from the
larger assembly. But they failed to
dispell the gloom of that vicinity. 1t

One pretty girl was heard to say to

She looked like it, as did her escort
and the rest of those in the big car.

long time, that crowd, possessing their
souls in what patience they could, as did
the two or three hundred that filed the
rooms upstairs above Castle & Cooke Is
offices. There the feeling for the de-
feated rank and file was most acute, and
not even when the Democratic head
quarters sent the word that Maui had

of gloom that had prevailed all the eve

Bob Shingle, ever confident of the

the returns from the Oahu precincts
swept in, piling up the figures for Me
