proceed to acrry out their campaign
platform in every particular.
II felt certain all along that we
would win said John II. Simmons
last night" but ! do not think anyone
connected with the Republican cam
paign had an idea that we would re-
ceive such splendid majority. The
enormous vote we received will make
us all the more anxious to serve all the
people, without regard to political be-
liefs, religion or previous condition Of
servitude. We will straighten out the
affairs of the city, bring about the
needed reforms and inaugurate a gen.
uine, unadulterated business admins
tration that every citizen will be
proud of.
\ United Tulsa.
Campaign Manager A. A. Small ex-
pressed the hope that the election
would bring about u more united citi-
zenship in Tulsa. and that all men
would stand solidly behind the new
officials to the end that taxes might be
reduced and every other feature of
the Republican platform carried out
1t has been IA clean campaign" he
added, "and | have no complaint to
MAKE against anyone. Especially do
| desire to compliment the election
board for its suco essful efforts to con-
duct fair and honest election"
There was no trouble at any of the
polls and no disturbances Of any kind
over the election
The election board came in for the
highest praise from members of all
parties. The members worked faith
fully and honestly, and a lasting tes-
timonial to their efficiency is seen in
the fact that at $3.50 o'clock last night,
Just one hour and half after the
polls closed. the official results were
made known through The World, and
the figures announced to large
crowd in front of The World build
ing.

Brink, running against Carl
Gregg, led the ticket, receiving
even a greater vote than Sim
mons. Gregg was the low man
on the Democratic ticket. Allen
A. Few was next to the highest
man on the Democratic ticket.
His opponent, A. ID. Walker, was
elected by a majority of SO votes
over all. This was the only race
in which there was any chance
of second election being neces-
sary.
Socialists Were Weaker.
. The surprise of the day was
the small Socialist vote, totalling
only 179 as compared with 266
votes two years ago. During the
day the estimates of the Socialist
strength went as high as six
hundred votes, while their own
leaders were offering to bet that
it would exceed five hundred
votes. Had it exceeded five hun
dred votes there would not have
been a second election, save for
commissioner No. 4.
A total of 1850 votes were cast, a
figure far below the total vote cast in
the city election two years ago. Fully
Aone thousand registered voters did not
participate in the election.
The overwhelming victory was made
possible by several hundred Democrats
who voted the straight Republican
ticket, many of them for the first time
in their lives. 1t was an almost uni
versal demand for "a new deal" that
put the Republican candidates across,
and now that they are elected they will

Allen A. Few by majority of 266

Il. NJ. Purdy. the only Democrat
elected, was elected treasurer of the
school board over ID. e. Rose by Il
majority of SEQ votes.
Contributing Factors.
The election of a Republican ticket
in Tulsa can be traced. to a certo \
extent. to the recent stirring contest
over the election OF "a Republican ma
tional committeeman from this state.
The election of J. j. McGraw, the
new deal candidate" served to
arouse Republicans to their duty as
never before and provided the nu-
Cleus of the organization that backed
the victorious ticket in yesterday S
election. The other factor was the
action of the Democratic county con-
vention last week in endorsing Gov
ernor X. l.. Williams and thereby in
directly approving the 3 per cent
gross production tax on oil. This an
sered the oil men of the city to the
extent that many of them supported
the Republican ticket. But above all
these, of course, was the desire
throughout the city for u genuine
business administration in the city
hall.

GAN ANTONIO. Texas, April A.
- Surprised during their siesta one
OF the groups of Villas force driven
from Guerrero was defeated Saturday
by a squadron of the Tenth cavalry
under Col. w. G. Brown. according to
information secured by General PERISH
ing and forwarded by him to General
Funston today. In this second en-
gagement the American troops have
had with Villas men. the bandits
loss was estimated at from thirty to
forty killed. No mention of American
loss was made.
Colonel Browns encounter with the
Mexicans had not been reported to
General Pershing when he made his
report. his information being gained
from friendly Mexicans who had ar
rived at a point near Rubio where
Major Evans of the Tenth cavalry was
halted yesterday Major Evans re-
ported that Saturday Colonel Brown
had encountered band of Villas men
and was pursuing them through San
Antonio. Soon afterwards Mexicans
who arrived from that vicinity de-
clared that he had overtaken the
wandering bandits at the village of
Aguas Calientes. twenty miles south
east of Bachineva.
Bandits Surprised.
Villas men, according to their ver-
sion of the encounter, appeared wholly
unsuspecting of the presence of an
enemy minute before they were at
tackled. II was about noon when Colo
mel Brown brought his cavalry within
easy range. The MeXcans were lying
about the place. many of them asleep.
and all their horses were grazing in
many cases some distance from the
men. Details of the action were not
told but the MeX.cans said that be-
sides those killed, the Americans cap
tured an equal number of horses. Gem
eral Pershing added that his reports
of the engagement lacked confirmation
though his credence of the news was
indicated by the fact that he trans
mitted 1t to General Funston.
Interest Increases.
The second encounter with one of
Villas scattered forces aroused deep
interest at General Funston's head
quarters where additional details were
eagerly awaited. but the interest in
the reports was not comparable to the
