COME EARLY. \ 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.

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 ’ HUNDREDS ARE HEARING CHOCTAW _EVANGELIST ' R*v.
