We are very well satisfied with the

TAMMANY SWEEPS
NEW YORK COUNTY
Fusionists Glaim Giganfc
Frauds.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.—(Special)
Tammany won a sweeping vic
tory in New York county. “Big Tom"
Foley, its candidate for sheriff, has
probably been elected by more than
90,000 over Ihmsen, the Fusion can
didate. The election of James W.
Garrard, Tammany’s candidate for
justice of the Supreme Court, is claim
ed by about the same plurality.
Judge Whitman, his opponent ran
away ahead for the Fusion ticket.
The strength of the Tammany vote
was more than expected, in view of
the claims of the Independence
League. Returns show that the Re
publicans knifed the Fusion ticket
unmercifully.
According to the League leaders
Tammany has never before resorted
to such daring tactics. The Fusion
watchers assert that thousands of
known Republicans and Independence
League voters found that their vote
had been cast by Tammany repeat
ers.
T. M. Maxwell, formerly of Ameri
cus, Ga,, an enthusiastic supported
of the Fusion ticket, was in this num
ber. When he presented himself at
the booth he was arrested for an an
leged attempt to repeat. He denied
that he had been near the booth be
fore. He became so vigorous in his
talk that he was allowed to go. He
says that he intends to swear out
warrants against the election offi
cers.
LOUISVILLE, KY„ Nov. s—(Spe
cial) —The entire Democratic state
ticket, headed by S. W. Hager, of
Ashland, for governor, is thought to
be elected by a majority estimated at
from 10,000 to 25,000.
BALTIMORE, MD, Nov. s.—(Spe
cial) —Reports from today’s elections
all over Maryland point apparently
to a close contest, with Austin L.
Crothers, Democratic candidate for
governor, in the lead. The Demo
crats also claim a safe majority in
the legislature, which will select two
United States senators.
TRENTON, N. J., Nov. s.—(Special)
—While the campaign managers of
both parties are claiming a victory,
early returns In today’s state election
indicate that Judge Franklin Fort,
Republican, has been elected gover
nor by a considerable majority. The
principal issue in the campaign has
been the enforcement or repeal of
the Bishop’s law, providing for the
closing of saloons on Sunday.
BOSTON, Nov. s.—(Special)—lndi
cations in today’s elections point to
the success of the entire Republican
state ticket, headed by Governor Cur
tis Guild, Jr, with the possible ex
ception of Lieutenant Governor Ebon
S. Draper. Reports from the indus
trial centers of the state allege that
Draper is being persistently scratch
ed by the union labor voters, as a re
sult of the warfare waged against
him in the campaign by the State
Federation of Labor.
NEW YORK, Nov. s—(Special)
Many allegations of alleged illegal
voting and attempted ballot stuffing
are being made in today’s elections
for county officers In New York. Boss
Murphy, of Tammany hall, declares
that these charges are mere fabrica
tions, invented to hide what he con
siders the apparent overwhelming de
feat of the Republican-Independence
League fusion ticket. Reports from
other cities and towns state that little
interest is being manifested in the
legislative and judicial elections,
CLEVELAND, O, Nov. s.—(Special) i
—Greatest interest is being manifest
ed by the voters in today’s municipal
election, which has resolved itself in
to a test of the personal popularity
of Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who' is
seeking a fourth term, and Represen
tative Theodare E. Burton, the Re- j
publican nominee, who has received!
the endorsement of both President!
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. Voters |
began swarming to the polls early
and it is believed that before closing
time nearly all of the 93,000 electors
who registered will have cast their
ballots. This will be almost 20,000
in excess of the normal vote in city
elections.
CITY IN DARKNESS
AGAIN LAST NIGHT
Americus “ran in the dark” for
some time last night as the result of

ment of the old lighting plant. Not
only were many business houses dis
commoded, but the theatre, almost
packed with people, was well nigh
put out of business for the time.
