DEFEAT SOCIALISTS
Good Government Ticket Wins
in Los Angeles Election by
Majority of 35,000. 1
Lot Angeles, Dee. 8.—Mayor George
Alexander, good government candidate,
waa re-elected yesterday over Job Hnr-
rinian, the Socialist candidate, by
majority estimated at an early hour
this morning at 45,000. The prohibi
tion ordinance waa defeated by a two
to one vote. Apparently the entire
cltlaens ticket was swept Into office
by th« landslide. Frederick T. Wheel
er, T. W. Williams and Frank E. Wolfe,
Socialist candidates for the city coun
cil, however, are high up In the count,
but It Is not though! they will be able
to overcome the Iea4,qt the men on the
cltlaens ticket. Three Socialist candl
dates for the board of education are
elan running ahead of their ticket, and
there Is'some doubt here, too, of the
final result.
Tha heavy vote cast, far beyond any
cellmates, has put a burden on the
election board, and the complete count
Is not expected until far Into the day.
The total vote cast waa between 185,000
and 140,000 aa against 44.000 In the pri.
mary election. In which the Socialist
ticket gained a victory.
For the flret time In the history of
California, woman participated aa vot
ers. and, according to careful estimate*,
their ballot* exceeded the number of
men who voted by many thousand*.
From the opening of the polls until
nearly time for them to doss the wo.
men showed their Interest In civic af
faire and Justified the claims of the
moat ardent advocates of equal suf
frage by swarming to the voting
booths. Throughout the day long lines,
of voters with women in the predomi
nance could be seen nt the polls In every
picclnct. The new voters displayed
unexpected Interest and knowledge of
tha process of voting. They fAund their
registration number*, algncd the regis
ter and marked and folded their bal
lots In a businesslike way. That the
women voters contributed largely l.>
the re-election of Alexander la ad
mitted by political leaders.
One of the strong forces rendering
almost Invaluable service In arousing
the women to the situation and In se
curing so nearly universal everdse of
the franchise privilege by the sex. wae
the Women's Progressive league.
Undoubtedly the collapse cf the. Mc
Namara defense, of which Harriman
was an associate counsel, and the con
fession of guilt by the dynamiters when
they changed their plena to guilty, had
a great effect on the campaign.
WILLIAM D. UPSHAW
SPEAKS AT HARTWELL
TRI INSIDE STORY
OF THE CONFESSION
Judge Bordwell, Who Presided
Over the McNamara Trial,
. Gives His Version.
STEFFENS *IS DISCREDITED
All Credit Given to Fredericks
for the Manner in Which He
Conducted the Case.
Los Angelas, Dso. 6.—Judge Walter
Bordwell today told the inside story of
the McNamara brothers’ confession and
sentence. He denied that Lincoln Stef
fens, whom he termed "an anarchist,'
had had anything to do with tho set
tlement of the compromlee.
The Court's statement follows:
"In a spirit of Indifference to every
thing In tho McNamara cases save the
facta and the law applicable thereto, I
deem It due to the court and to this
community that ..I make a brief public
statement regarding circumstances at
tending the abrupt close of the can,
Together with a sufficient continent to
Indicate my views at to such circum
stances. . This It done in the hope of
correcting, It possible, some miscon
ceptions due to erroneous publications,
and particularly to an article which
appeared In a local newspaper on the
2d Instant over the signature of Lin
coln Steffens.
"In.the first.place, the claim or sug
gestion that the termination of the
cases was due to the efforts of himself
and other outsiders, who undertook to
Influence the officers of tho court—
other than the Judge—Is without Jus
tification In fact.
I u ish ,'ilso t,i denounce the Haim
of that gentleman and of other persona
for him that the change of the pleas
In these cases from ’not guilty' to
'guilty' was due to his efforts as
P'oundless and untrue. He la Incorrect
n the statement that the court waa not
a party to negotiations for what he
termed ‘as a promise' of the cases, but
there is no ground for any claim that
he-Induced the prosecution to come-to
an agreement In the matter. The dis
trict attorney acted entirely without
regard to Mr. Steffens and on lines
decided upon before the latter appeared
on tho scene.
"As |o 111* defense, the puhlle ran
rely, on It that the developments of
last week as to bribery and attempted
bribery of Jurors In the J. B. McNamara
cure were the efficient ratine of the
change of ideas which suddenly brought
these cases to an end. The district at
torney could have had J. B. McNama
ra's plea of guilty long ago If he had
hern willing lo dismiss the cases
against the brother. John J. McNamara,
but 'the district attorney refused. In
sisting that the latter was guilty and
should suffer punishment.”
''Tho notion broached In the Stef
fens article that the McNamaras. In
the commission of the crimes as con
fessed by them, are 'two heroes' Is of
fensive to common Intelligence and re-
pellant to tho conscience of all Just
men—to say nothing of the abhorrence
of the law for such sentiment—and I
am confident that the district attorney
was not Influenced by any auch senti
ment In considering the proposal that
tho defendants should withdraw their
pleas of 'not guilty.’
"Upon the entry of the plea of guilty,
both defendants placed themselves
upon the morcy of the court and the
responsibility—sola and undivided—de
volved upon the court to determine the
punishment.
"That some mitigation of the ex'
treme penalties demandable by tho out-
raged law might reasonably be expect-
ed as a consequence of the change of
tha picas In this case It In accordance
with the principle commonly accepted
In the administration of criminal Juris
prudence.
“The lesson taught by these cases
Is that the law must be rigorously en
forced against all offenders, whethe
they b* rich or poor, high or low, capl
tnllsts or laborers, and that only by
obedience to the law can society be
maintained and Its blessings enjoyed. 1 ’
