SAN FRANCISCO, Not. 8. (Special.)
The election of Mayor Taylor, District
Attorned Langdon and the greater por
tion of the Good Government ticket ap
pears to have inaugurated an era of
good feeling in San Francisco. The bit
terness of the campaign has vanished
overnight, as though by magic. Men and
Journals who led the opposition to Dr.
Taylor were outspoken today with
pledges of loyalty and co-operation. P.
11. McCarthy, the defeated candidate of
the Union Labor party ,in a signed state
ment promised his services tonight to the
administration. Daniel A. Ryan, the de
feated Republican candidate, also as
sured Dr. Taylor of his co-operation. The
Evening Post, which has fought Taylor
during the campaign, published tonight
an editorial in which the Mayor was
highly praised.
Throughout the city the expressions of
satisfaction were general. The cry for
"a pull together" has arisen from every
ftuarter. From the labor leaders come as
surances of industrial peace; from the
bankers, reports of Increased confidence
and expanding trade.
Wipe Out Every Unclean "Spot;
The success of the" Good Government
ticket means that the cleaning process in
the city departments and the graft prose
cution will proceed with new energy.
"Every unclean spot in the city govern
ment must be wiped out," declares Mayor
Taylor, which means that some of the
Commissioners stD.l serving under their
appointments from Schmlti will be elimi
nated from the administration.
Francis J. Heney has announced that
the prosecution of the boodlera will go
on. Moreover Mr. Heney has sounded a
new note in his declaration that Califor
nia must follow the example set by San
Francisco. Mr.- Heney said today:
Clean Up California Next.
"San Francisco has shown that cor
rupt rule can be destroyed. California
must take heed. A year ago the hold
of Ruef and Schmltz In San Francisco
was as complete as Is the hold of
"William F. Herrln and the Southern
Pacific on California today. If San
Francisco was able to get rid of
Schmltz and Ruef, California can free
herself from the domination of Herrln.
"It Is time to act. The people have
sen the light. That is all they need.
Every good citizen should prepare for
the struggle, that California at her
next election may put an end to Her
rlnlsm." Kid Gloves Help Grafters.
The completeness of the victory for Dr.
Taylor and Mr. Langdon astounded even
their campaign managers. The vote of
the city was spilt. Dr. Taylor received
a very heavy labor vote. An Interesting
fact shown by the returns was that In
the "kid glove" precincts Mr. McGowan,
Mr. Langdon' s opponent, received a very
heavy vote. This is take to Indicate
that the indicted magnates lined up all
their friends against Mr. Langdon In
order to stop the prosecutions. Mr.
Langdon's labor vote waa much heavier
than the vote given him by the capital
ists. The Count nt Midnight.
. Owing to the large number of charter
amendments on the ballot, the count has
been very slow. At midnight, with about
SOOO votes to hear from, the result
showed:
For Mayor Taylor 2S.5GS. McCarthy
J7,06, Ryan 9195, Reguln (Soc.) 11S8.
For District Attorney Langdon 34,506,
McGowan 19,781.
All of the Good Government candidates
were elected except Mr. McDougald
(Union Labor), Treasurer, and. Mr.
Mulcrevy (Union Labor), County
Clerk. Both Mr. Mulcrevy and Mr. Mc
Dougald have held their offices before
and were among the few officials of the
Schmltz. administration to come out with
clean records.
Many Charter Amendments.
The most Important amendments
adopted provide for the recall; giving the
Supervisors powers to acquire and operate
public utilities; providing for the change
of street grades and street lines in order
that the Burnham plans for the beauti
flcatlon of the city can be carried out if
the city so wills; giving the Supervisors
power to Hx the telephone rates; provid
ing for 75-year city bonds, where 50. years
is the present limit; and allowing the
Treasurer ' to deposit city money with'
amoroved banks. The other amendments
are local in character. An ordinance to
lower the liquor license from $500 to $400
a year was defeated.
HENEY COMMENTS ON RESULT
Declares Labor Has Vindicated Con
fidence Placed In It.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6. F. J. Heney,
commenting today on the decisive victory
of the Good Government ticket in San
Francisco, had this to say:
"The issue in this campaign was clear
cut. Shall the public service corporations
corruptly control the municipality and is
any man above the law? The laboring
classes vindicated the confidence which
every great statesman of America has
placed in their integrity, intelligence, com
mon sense and patriotism. They under
stood the moral Issue involved and voted
for Good Government.
"Some of the merchant class voted for
Taylor, and against Langdon, thereby
demonstrating that we were right when
we predicted that a certain limited class
would vote both ways according to what
!!
John H. Hlgglns, Democrat, Elected
Governor of Rhode Island.
they believed would be the effect upon
their pockets. Such voters are the most
undesirable citizens in America. The
great mass of merchants, professional
men and laboring classes, however, voted
according to the conscience and justified
the belief that republican government is
still a success.'
FOREST FIRE IS RAGING
Flames Raging in Black Hills Drive

DBADWOOD S. D., Nov. 6. Reports
from' the lumber camps of the McLaughlin
Tie & Timber Company at Westhant, 26
miles south of here, tell of a heavy tim
ber fire raging to the west of the camp
and close to the Wyoming border. The
company sent out a special train of 75
men to pave Its preserves, but the train
was checked by flames. The company has
500,000 feet of cut timber lying In the path
of the flames, which will probably be lost.

Predicts He Will Be Obliged to Ac

NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Chairman Tim
othy L. Woodruff, of the Republican
State Committee, . who wired the Presi
dent today : that yesterday's Republican
victory in Kings County was due to Mr.
Roosevelt's strength in Brooklyn, said to
night that he believed that the demand
would be such that the President would
be obliged to accept a renomlnatlon. He
said:
"I am of the opinion that the demand
for the renomination of Theodore Roose
velt will be so strong next Spring that
the President will be obliged to accept a
renomination. Every Indication points
to his being swept into office by an over
whelming vote.
"Under the leadership of Roosevelt in
the Nation and of Hughes in the state the
rank and file of the Independent League
will, in my judgment, vote hereafter with
the Republican party."

NEW YORK, Nov. . Now that the
monetary strain has been lessened locally
the Jew York banks began preparations
today to ship all available currency to
the Northwest to aid the movement of
crops. While there is concerted action
among the city's banking institutions to
meet the demands for currency now be
ing made by banks In the crop country,
the individual banks will send all funds
that can possibly be spared for the pur
pose. "
Estimates of the combined amounts

Northwest within the next six weeks
vary. The Chase National Bank and the
First National Bank have commenced to
ship daily sums ranging from J2S.000 to
JSO.OOO to banks along the route of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railways.
Aroused to Action by Hill.
J. J. Hill held a conference here with
officers of the Chase National Bank and
other institutions at which it was stated
that he asked that the Northwest be
given all possible assistance to move the
crops. Mr. Hill was Informed that,
while the local banks could not furnish
the usual amount of money for crop
moving purposes, they were anxious to
do all they could to expedite the ship
ment of cereals to the seaboard, whence
they could be sent abroad and thereby
strengthen this county's position in the
foreign money markets.
Gold In Steady Volume.
"We have started to send all the funds
we can to the Northwest." said a bank
official tonight, "and, while the, amounts

In individual instances are not very large,
they will aggregate a large figure before

of gold to the wheat fields will be in
steady volume, varying in sums from
t5000 to $00,000. Mr. Hill was here and
conferred with us on the situation, along
the lines of his railroads. We promised
to do all we could.
"A ready solution of any difficulties in
the Northwest can be found by the farm
ers themselves. If they will avail them
selves of an opportunity to use cashier's
checks, but that is a process of educa
tion which may or may not be difficult
to work out."
TRUST COMPANIES ARK SOLID
Agreement to Stand Together Re
moves Danger.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. The general
conditions of the financial situation
were favorable today. The runs on the
trust companies had practically ceased
under the encouraging influence of the
support of the trust company commit
tee; gold engagements were further in
creased, and .the stock market rose
buoyantly In rocognltlon of these con
ditions. The announcement by Mr. King,
president of the Union Trust Com
pany, early In the morning, that an
agreement had at last been reached
bv which the Trust Company of
America and the Lincoln Trust Com
pany were to deposit their stock in
the hands of a committee of the trust
company -presidents, and In considera
tion of this. were, to receive all the
support required, finally cleared the
air in regard to the trust-company
situation.
Last Danger Removed.
Grave apprehension existed after the
termination of the conference at Mr.
Morgan's library at 6 o'clock this
morning that an agreement in regard
to the two trust companies would not
be reached and that they might be sub
jected to' a run too strong for their lm
paired resources. Now that this dan
ger is removed. It is believed that the
situation will gradually simmer down,
with the continuous arrival of gold,
until the stringency is converted Into
the plethora of reserve money In banks
which usually follows' a crisis.
Additional gold engagements were
announcement today of Jl, 000,000 on
account of Lazard Freres and $500,001
for Montreal. This brings up the total
gold engagements for America on the
recent movement to 137,500.000, which
would afford the amount required for
legal reserve against- deposits of $150,
000,000. The gold which arrived yes
terday was deposited today and that
by the Lusitania will soon be in the
vaults of the banks.
Will Not Raise Discount Again.
While there is still some apprehen
sion regarding the possible effort of
the Bank of England to check the out
flow of gold from London by raising
its discount rate on Thursday, there is
a strong feeling among conservative
financiers here hat the directors of
the Bank of 'England will be very re
luctant to fix a rate of discount which
has not been touched since 1873. It
might have been found necessary to
overcome this reluctance, if the Bank
of France had not so generously
dipped Into its Immense reserves under
the enlightened policy of Governor
Pallalne by the purchase of sterling
bills to the amount of 3,030.000 to re
lieve the London market.
The strength of the stock market
wan the reflex of Improved feeling
throughout the financial community.
It Is believed that the stock market
has pretty well discounted the worst
and that prices are not likely to go

GIVE ROOSEVELT THE GLORY.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. President
Roosevelt today received the follow
ing from Timothy L. Woodruff,
dated New York:
"Our great sweep with a straight
Republican ticket In Kings County,
normally Democratic by 20.000. waa
accomplished by the use made of
your unparalleled strength with the
people. Some of our candidates had
nearly 20.000 majority."
The following dispatch from Congressman-elect
John W. Langley,
dated at Plkesvllle. Ky., was received
at the White House today:
"W'e won by 0,000. The mount
ains did most of it. and the Roose
velt administration made It possible."
No statement or comment on the
result of the election was made y
the President today.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (Special.) The
elimination of W. R. Hearst Is believed to
to be one of the results of the New York
election that affords pleasure to Repub
licanp and Democrats alike, but the elimi
nation could have been effected just as
thoroughly If the Hearst League had not
been taken up by the Republican organi
zation. This la the second time Mr.
Hearst has been eliminated within a year,
and this time, unless the observers be very
wide of the mark, he ought to "stay elim
inated." Three Times and Out.
He went it alone once and he has tried
it in combination with both the other par
ties. The flrpt time he came so close to
being elected Mayor that he still claims
the victory. The Republican ticket was a
bad third in the Mayoralty race. The
next time Mr. Hearst tied up with Tam
many and was defeated for Governor by
some 60,000, while all the ret of the Dem
ocratic state ticket won by handsome plu
ralities. And now Mr. Hearst has tried it
with the Republicans, putting some of his
hired men on the ticket while he made the
speeches, and the reault, relatively, is
worse than in the two previous years.
League Constantly Declines.
Three successive campaigns, with Mr.
Hearst a factor in each, have shown a
constant decline of the Hearst League
movement. It jumped into existence at a
time when disgust with the leadership of
both the regular parties fought some
means of expression. Mr. Hearst took
advantage of the opportunity and made
a phenomenal campaign and showing on
election day. But the very next year,
when the Hearet "Independence League"
was swollen with pride, "a good thing"
in the eyes of .office-seekers and feared as
Including the balance of power by outsid
ers, the voters turned in and repudiated
its leader. The repudiation of Mr. Hearst
stood out as the most significant thing In
connection with the election of Charles E.
Hughes to the Governorship.
Will Cut No Figure In 1908.
As matters stand now, the league seems
in a fair way to disintegrate. Mr. Hearst
appears to have lost Interest, and he has
been at once the inspiration, the under
writer and the support of the movement.
It is far from likely that he will be a
figure in next year's Presldental election.
THEY AGREE OX. OXE POIXT
Murphy and Woodruff Both Say
Hearst Is Political Corpse.
NEW YORK. N. Y., Nov. 6. The
secondary" results of yesterday's elections,
particularly as they may affect the polit
ical fortunes of party leaders, were
threshed out at many political meeting
places tonight. Charles F. Murphy. Tam
many leader, sees in the defeat of the Re
publican and Independence League fusion
in New York County the retirement of
William R. Hearst as a factor In local
politics.
Timothy L. Woodruff, Republican stats
chairman, also believes that Mr. Hearst
has been "everlastingly eliminated" as a
political consideration, and that the Inde
pendence League will now go to the Re
publican party. Mr. Woodruff bases his
prediction upon the result in Kings
County, where the Independence League
,vote was lost sight of in the Republican
victory over the Democrats. On the other
hand, the league vote did not go a great
way in helping the Republicans in Man
hattan, where the fusion ticket was
beaten by the straight Tamr.-.any candi
dates. In 1905 New York County gave Mr.
Hearst, running on a straight Independ-
