Many business men are opposed to
the plan. They state that it will mean
a system of cheap and unsightly signs
placed on prominent corners in the
city and will result in an endless lot
Of trouble. since similar concerns
would be bidding for concessions Of
the same kind a like proposition was
once before turned down by former
city council and the wisdom of adopt

many Some argue that the city
is well able TO install its own boxes
and what would be profit from waste
paper to an outside concern certainly
could be converted into gain for the
municipality, and no advertising signs
would need TO be placed on the cans,
Business men contend that adopt
ing the proposition would hardly be
consistent with the recently announc-
cd plans of the council Of freeing the
streets from Instructions. Instead OF
removing obstacles. they argue, the
council would. in consenting to the

DEMOCRATIC GAINS
ARE ENCOURAGING TO
CENTRAL COMMITTEE
NTEMENT ISSUED FROM
HEADQUARTERS SAYS RE.
SUI.TS SIGNIFICANT,
Bull Moose Get Together With Re
publiCOns in some States, But
Democracy Makes Large Cans
from Progressive Ranks - MNsSa-
Chusctts Results Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON Nov "A state
ment issued from the headquarters
OF the democratic national committee
commenting on the results of Tues
days elections said;
"The results show that while the
republicans and bun moose have
gotten together in some states, the
democracy has made large gains
from the progressive ranks
This is notably true in Massachu-
setts from which state the first Of
fetal returns are available The
democratic guhernatorlal candidate
Governor Walsh, made a wonderful
race He folled the largest vote ev-
er given a democrat in the state
while Mr., Mccall the republican
candidate. ran away behind the nor
NAL republican vote given party
nominees in recent years. The boast
Of the republicans in Massachusetts,
that they would carry the state by
from $4,000 to 10000 majority re-
mains untitled.
Statistics Give Comfort
''The total vote given Walsh was
229,S12, while Mccall received 235,-
91S votes. The vote for Governor
Walsh was nearly 10000 greater
than he received two years ago and
$1,000 more than he received in
1912. President Wilson received
only 17S,4OO votes, as against 29S,.
175 for Taft and Roosevelt. Taft
received 265.96 votes in 1908, which
is 10000 more than the vote given
Mccall Tuesday.
In this connection the important
fact should not be overlooked that
Massachusetts is one of the old line
republican states 1t has elected re-
publican legislators and republican
United States senators for genera
tons The democratic party, which
has always been the minority party,
is stronger in the state today than IT
ever has been before.
Results m south Give Cheer
There were three state results
Tuesday where Governors were cho-
sen. The democrats elected their
state tickets in two of these three
states. While they lost the governor
ship in Massachusetts,. a heretofore
strong republican state. they elected
a democrat to replace the present
republican governor in Maryland. In
Kentucky the democrats elected their
candidate for governor. A. o. STAN
ley, whose election was opposed by a
number of republican spellbinders of
national reputation, including ex-
Vice President Fairbanks. The fine
victories in two of these closely con-
tested states, and the remarkable
race made by the party leader In the
other is highly gratifying to the ma.
ttonal democracy, for all OF these
states have been in the republican
fold during the past few years.
THE results are full of encourage
ment to democrats. demonstrating
conclusively that it is the construc-
tive and gaining party, while the re,
publicans have failed signally in
their efforts to force back into the
RANKS progressive and independent
republicans"
