The signifance Of these per eentages
lies in the fact that in general eIec-
tions majorities that run as high as
five or s1x per cent are displayed and
shouted over as sweeping major
'orities." One of the most no.
table instances that can be recalled
.offhand was when Grover Cleveland
was elected Governor of New York
in 1892, by majority of $4,000.
That was shouted fs" and wide as a
most sweeping victory" But the
majority was only two per cent of
the total vote cast.
To come down to local elections. In
the municipal election in 1918, there
were 686 votes cast. Mr.. Writ Bow
man highest candidate on the Demo
cratic ticket, received 398 votes; Mr..
H. M. Clagett, highest of the defeat
ed candidates on the Republican tick
ct had 327. Mr.. Bowman's major
ity over Mr.. Clageett was II, which
was but very little more than ten per
cent of the total vote cast. But there
is another way of figuring that;
There were seven candidates for
trustee on each ticket, and there was
a great deal of cutting and slashing.
In that way some candidates ran
away ahead of their tickets, and
others ran away behind. And to
take the sums total of any two candi-
dates: in some cases they were more
than the total vote cast, and in
others they were less. In the vote
The daily morning oasis., 1920-01-16

between Messrs Bowman and Clagett.
the total was 715, or 20 votes more
than the total cast in the election. So,
calculating on that basis, Mr.. Bow
mans majority over Mr.. Clagett was
less than ten per cent.
In the same election Bracey Cur
tis,- the one republican elected, de-
feated w. H. Smith, the one democrat
defeated by vote of 344 to S37.
That was total vote of 681. and Mr..
Curtis majority of seven was but
little more than one per cent of the to-
tai votes cast, whether taking into con
sideration all the ballots in the box
or just those cast for Smith and Cur
tbs
So, in presenting the per centages
stated in the foregoing paragraphs,
"The Oasis" claims that it is not at
all immodest to characterize the sue
cess of proponents of the bond issue
yesterday as ga sweeping victory"
The bond election called by the Demo-
cratic City Council of Nogales has
won by per centage double that by
which they were elected themselves
in 1918, and ten times as great
per centage as Grover Cleveland's
sweeping victory" Of 1892.
In dismissing the subject '@The Oa-
sis will say that in its belief, in the
outcome of this issue, the sound sense
and good judgement of those having
at heart the best interests of Nogales
have prevailed.

in all history; and in having hand
