FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1904. MONDAY'S CITY ELECTION. Dr. EL A. Sommer and his friends, who worked untiringly In the Inter est of his candidacy, achieved a tjreat victory Monday in accomplishing his election to the Mayoralty by a ma jority over the other two candidates. ,Tbe Mayor-elect carried every ward in the city in the face of vigorous op position. But the success of his can didacy may be attributed to a number of causes. In the first place he was the first man to announce himself as candidate to succeed Mayor Dimlck, ud from the beginning made a thor ough and systematic campaign. Be sides, he had definite policies as to the granting of perpetual franchises and the completion of the South End Road. His personal popularity was a strong factor in bringing about the result Perhaps never before did the vote of the paper mills go more nearly for a single oandidate than it did Mon day. Another element of strength was the German vote which went to Dr. Sommer almost unanimously. Fred J. .Meyer's friends worked early and late and secured his re flection at city treasurer over J. A. Tufts, the Republican nominee. For a man not widely known in this city, J. A. Tufts, the G. A. R. veteran, made a very creditable run, being defeated bj a majority of onluy 30. In the First Ward, David Williams, a mem ber 'of Williams Bros. Transfer Co., 'defeated E. F. Story, who was a candi date for re-election. The handsome vote accorded Win. Sheahan, who was re-elected from the Second Ward, over Sol S. Walker, was a splendid compliment to his faithful and con servative services as a member of the city council. Henry Brandt, the Republican nominee, was successful in the Third Ward, defeating S. P. : Francis, Citizen candidate by a vote of 90 to 74. With the election of the three Re- publican councilmen on an antl-fran- chise platform, the strength of the ; council on this subject, is reversed. ' After the first of the year, the council stand 5 to 4 against perpetual fran chises. At the same time the entire ; membership of the council will be for the building of the South End Road pVlth this sentiment, it Is very prob f able that a proper modification of the pending transaction between the city and the bouthern Pacific company (.will be had by which there may be . placed to the franchise some limit : and thereby cover all objections that . have been rained to the measure in its i present form. t o MAYOR SOMMER. Dr. E. A. Sommer, who was elected Mayor Monday, while a native of Pennsylvania, is practically a native of the Willamette Valley, where he has resided since 1886. He was born at South LiKhlehem, Pennsylvania, January 27. 18G9. Coming to Oregon in 188G, he located at Oregon City four years later. He began the study of medicine in this city, graduating from a Portland medical college and after wards had extensive hospital experi ence In the East. By thorough appli cation and hard work he has gradu ally ascended the ladder of his pro fession until he is now one of the best known and most successful physic ians and surgeons in the state. i Dr. Sommer has never mixed in politics, has no pledges to fulfill or debt of a political nature to pay. He is in a position to give the people of Oregon City a straight business ad ministration of its affairs and the fact that he has made such a pledge Is a sufficient guarantee that such an ad ministration will be provided. Dr. Sommer is to be congratulated on his decisive victory. 0.. THE ELECTORAL C-OLLEGE. The official returns from Maryland give seven of that state's electoral votes to Parker and one to Roosevelt. The division of the vote was due to the failure of many of the voters to comply with the requirements of a complicated ballot law. These fail ures, it is evident from the detailed examination of the ballots, told heavi ly against the Republicans, y Probably Senator Gorman, the real author of the law, intended this. He knew that the Republicans were in the predom inance In hts state on a square vote, and he wanted to offset the difference by a statute which would hit the Re publicans. The Intention of a major ity of the voters, it Is evident from the examination of the returns, was to cast their ballots for Roosevelt, and thus give him the solid vote of the stat ' Making the required deduction from Maryland's spilt vote, Roosevelt's' to tal in the electoral college will be 33(5 and Parker's 140. This will give Roosevelt a majority of 196, as com pared with 137 for McKlnley in 1900, 95 for McKlnley In 1S96, 13) for Cleve land In 1S92 and smaller figures for all the other Presidents back to Grant, who carried the country by 223 votes in 187., the year of the Greeley can vass. In that year the Democrats ac cepted a candidate and a platform put up by -a bolting element of their enemies, and they did not support the ticket with any heartiness. Recon struction was stilt under way. Many electoral votes, seventeen in all, were excluded on account of irregularities of one sort and another. Exclusive of Pierce's big majority in 1352 over Scott, which was 212, and Grant's over Greeley, which was 823, Roosevelt's 196 lead Is the longest ever gained by any president In a contested canvass. ; In the Pierce case the opposition, the Whig party, was demoralized by the drift of its Southern and Its Northern adherents over to the Democrats on account of the slavery issue, and thus Scott car rled only tour states. Roosevelt's margin is broader than Jackson's was in 1832, when he defeated Clay and his national Republican party. It Is larger than Harrison's was in the "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too, canvass of 1S40, which was memorable for its one-sidedness. It beats Lincoln's ma jority in 1864, when eleven states in the Southern quarter were engage-! in rebellion against the government, and thus excluded from the voting. It was a great victory, and the President and the party ought to be proud of it, as they are. THE VERDICT. The election of an anti-franchise Mayor and three 5 councilmen on a platform that oposes the granting of franchises in perpetuity may be son sldered a decisive expresion of pub lic sentiment against the granting of any unending franchise to any public utility to any private corporation ex cept a reasonable consideration ac crues to the city whose Interests shall be afforded proper protection. In each of the three wards of the city, the Re publican candidate for alderman was elected. Each is pledged to the oppo sition of any perpetual franchise. That was the issue In the election Monday. Let the verdict receive proper rec ognition. o ELECTRICITY FOR A RAILROAD. The present century. It is often said. will witnee the abandonment of tin (team locomotive and the general adop tion of electricity a the motive powur by the railways. Experiments indicat ing the practicability,! In an economic a well aa technical sense, of thin set Mliullon are reported from time lo ti i.c aii-i noted with genuine interest. An something more than an exjx -urn- ot mey be considered tne action or me i.r.g IxtJiid Railroad in placing an nrd.v in Pittsburg for the motors needed for the electrification of its line. Power will be taken from a copper wire overhead, the game 8 in trolley car operation The ; company proposes to make haste slowly ' but it hopes to be able to handle Its entire passenger service by electricity within six months. Ing Inland, it Is recalled, was the scene of one of the ear liest successes of the trolley, and It Is appropriate that it Khould also be the scene of the first definitive adoption of electricity to the motive power of a railroad of standard gauge. The motors are of the type ordered by the Pennsylvania Road for use in the j tunnel between Jersey City arid, Ixing Island, and as the Umg Island road Is to be the eastern continuation of the former line the policy of the co-operating man agers contemplates the exclusive use of electricity In the carriage of freight and passengers from Jersey City to the eastern end of Ixjng Island, a distance of over a hundred miles. Wlh regard to the question of cost, the results of the electrification of the Man hattan Elevated are deemed to be In every way encouraging and trie Import ant question awaiting final determina tion is the liability to breakdowns and delays In heavy traffic. In other words, can the motor car drag long and heavy trains at the rate of speed that would Justify their use? Let an affirmative answer be given by conclusive tests, and railway managers will gladly say fare well to the steam locomotive, with Its noise, soot, smoke and other unpleasant attributes. 4 LOCAL OPTION LAW TION8. COMPLICA- A somewhat complicated situation seems to have arisen In several Oregon towns as a result of the vote under the state local option liquor law Tuesday and has precipitated the question as to whether the new law or the city charters granted by the legislature will govern. In some quarters It Is maintained that the local option repeals the liquor regu lation provisions of city charters while on the other hand It is maintained that the law does not apply to Incorporated towns and cities and all elections therein under it are null and void, so that the courts may be called upon to interpret the new and complicated law. Peculiar sit uations would prevail In several towns should It be determined that the local option law In paramount to their city charters. In Roseburg two city products went "wtt" and two "dry" In a "wet" county. In Medford the South precinct which contains most of th licensed sa loon of the town went "dry" while on the north etde It went "wet." In Et Ashland the vote on the Issue was a tie and therefor prohibition failed while the other two preclncta voted heavily for It. Kxchau. FROM A DEMOCRATIC SOURCE. Under the heading ' "Courage," the Coj-vallia .Time (Democratic) pays Pres ident Kooaevelt the following trlule: "President Roosevelt Is admired by the American people for hie superb cour age. Young men are apt to regard thla aa a physical quality. The man who flghta qulckeat and hardest, who cour ageously faces great peril regardless of consequencea, la In the eyes of youth, moat courageous. They overlook or fall to see the better element of the real courage, the moral element. This makes a strong physical man able to decline actual combat and bravely endure the epithet of "wjward" rather than commit a wrong act. It Is the right admixture of these two elements which constitutes the real courageous man. Uen. HcClel lan had enough physical courage, but he lacked the moral element. lie could not contemplate his splendid army torn and bleeding by actual battle, so he made a weak tight for Richmond and was defeated, Sherman. Sheridan, and Grant had most superb courage for they had a right admixture of the best ele ment. General R. E. Iee and Stone wall Jackson, had these two elements well combined, hive more courageous men never faced danger and death. . "This Is the quality of the President's courage, the physical element control led, and turned looae If need be, by the moral element. There is no danger to the American people In the President's courage. The nation will never be called to play the role of bully because of hts leadership." 0 " ' In bis sermon last Sunday night. Rev. E. S. Bollnger, pastor of the First Congregational church, made some pertinent remarks with reference to conditions that prevail In this city. The management of city affairs and the nature of the administration of any municipality, stated the speaker, depends In a large measure on the demands exacted of those in authority by public sentiment. Urgent need, said the speaker, exists in Oregon iCty for keeping the minors out of saloons and suppressing gambling. 0 Jim Campbell, who takes his de feat for Mayor with good grace, says he is not so sure yet but that he may have been elected to the office for which he was a candidate in Monday's election. In fact he feels so confident that he Is tempted to call for a re count of the votes, Mr. Campbey declares that on the morning follow ing the election more than 150 voters called at his office and assured him that they voted for him. He thinks there must be a mistake somewhere. The re-election of Mayor Schindler at Mllwaukie Is a splendid endorse ment of a public official whose ad ministration of affairs has been emi nently satisfactory to a large majority of his constituents. Mayor Schindler Is a progresive man and during the term to which he has been re-elected, he will have opportunity to extend his policies. 0 Among the Items Included in the statement sent to Congress by Secre tary of the Treasury Shaw this week was one appropriating $10,000 for en larging the Clackamas river hatchery. Another dispatch stated that there was a good prospect of securing at this term of Congress an appropriation f tioo,000 for a public building at I Oregon City. E. P. Rands has tendered his resig nation as chairman of the Republi can County Central Committee. Mr. Rands' many friends reep-et to see him relinquish the place he has so well filled, but he finds that his busi ness Interests Interfere too largely and compels him to resign. . 0 C. O. T. Williams, whose death oc curred at his home In this city Sun day, wat an early pioneer, a promi nent business man wbone relations to the public In a business and official capacity, were honorable and apprec iated. His memory will be revered for his various public services well and faithfully discharged. That was a telling march Mayor elect Sommer stole on hln opponents when he attended the German mas querade and presented the best masq ers with valuable prizes. ! o , Dr. Summer's plurality over Al bright was 183, while his vote excelled that(of Campbell by 279. 0 Of course you voted for the winning candidate! 0 , It is Mayor Sommer, If you please. 0 SUMMONS.
