ALL IRELAND
 IS OPPOSING IRISH POLICY
General Dissatisfaction Exists Over Policy of Government
 Toward Ireland

DUBLIN, April 7.-Opposition to the government policy appears to be general throughout Ireland. Some criticize the severity of the military measures taken, while others assert that they are not drastic enough. Coercive measures have failed of their purpose. The government has so far been unable to discover the leaders of the recent disorders or to gain any information as to plans for future raids. In the meantime discontent is spreading throughout the island.
 Sharp criticism is heard concern ing the ruling of a magistrate in County Waxford that subscription to Sim Fein loans will be regarded as an atteIapt to overthrow the Kings government This order is regarded as indicative of the purpose of Eng land to use suppressive methods in its dealings with the Sim Fein and it's purpose to separate Ireland from the Kingdom.

The foregoing table tells the story of yesterdays election, and the story they tell is of a complete victory for the Citizens ticket and an en- dorsement of the present city ad- ministration.
 The majority of 163 for Mayor Elect Ralph E. Robertson is en- phatic, and the majorities for the Citizens candidates for City Coun- cilmen averaged 233-nearly two to one. That means the new admins tration goes into office with the assurance that they have the peo- pie of Juneau behind them.
 The day was fine and while there was no excitement, and the utmost of good nature prevailed, both sides worked hard and comparatively full vote was polled-more than 90 per cent. of the registration.
 As has been the case for several years in, Territorial and municipal elections the residential portions of the town voted together, and for the Citizens ticket. The down. town sections and water front were evenly divided.
 The vote was counted quickly, but long before it was finished, it be- came evident that the straight Citi- zens ticket had been successful. While there was no celebrating, a feeling of satisfaction was in evil Gence. sss
 The total vote cast was 806 out of a registration of S8S. The vote in the different precincts was, No. l, 497; No. 2, 200; No. 3, 109. The total registration was, No. 1, 536; Nh 3 227. No 2 125
