S THEIR GUESS
Prophets Who Predicted a Big
Vote Badly Fooled.
LITTLE INTEREST TAKEN
Apathy in Some Precincts, Especially
Anions Democrats Almost Crim
inal Campaign Slanders Are
Sprung at Eleventh Hour.
THOMAS I-OVAI, TO LANE.
The 1mus of this campaign, as to
candidate, terminated at the pri
maries j-terdar and resulted In the
nomination of Dr. Harry Lane for
Mayor on the Democratic -ticket. At
this time I wish to state, in harmony
with my previous declaration, that
I aha!! support Dr. Une if hm accepts
the nomination: and as chairman of
the Demo ratic County and 'City
Central Committee I shall do all In
my power, hot only to re-elect Mayor
Lane, but every other candidate on
the Democratic ticket.
I shall urge the committee to the
utmost diligence in gathering to
KMher the Democratic forcee of
this city and thoroughly organis
ing thm for the purpose of making
the most vigorous and Insistent
Democratic campaign for strictly
Dernorratic principles and Demo
cratic candidates that this city has
ever known. My purpose is that the
cUi7n nf this city shall be so im
bued with the necessity for embody
ing Democratic id! In our institu
ting nd tp-emnVTit. local, state
and NeMonsl, that In the future no
Democrat in this city or state need
be ashamed of the fact that he is a
Democrat or feci the necessity for
apologizing therefor.
Fellow Democrats, let us in this
campaign seek to build up the
strongest possible minority party.
l.fs have done with fusion and be
Democrats on principle. The great
est safeguard of a people's rights is
the ability of the citizens to shift the
power. Such a minority party will
hold the dominant party in check
and so enable the citizens to shirt It.
My appreciation of the support given
me at the polls today is complete
and I thank those who voted for me
for that support.
GEORGE H. THOMAS,
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES FOR CITY OFFICES AND COUNCILMEN
1 iV ' '-- , I - jf - $
Those wise prophets who had counted
upon a heavy primary vote will revise
their thinking machine when they glance
at the actual number of qualified electors
who exercised their right of choice yester
day. The vote cast. In spite of the fine
weather, was almost criminally small. In
precinct 9 In the Third Ward, for ex
ample, where the registration was about
400. less than 200 votes were cast. It was
the same In almost every precinct In the
city and the candidates from those in
the Mayoralty race down to those for
the Council, were keenly disappointed,
for they had counted upon running up
auch majorities that they would discour
age any ambitious oiuee-seeker from
jumping into the game as an independ
ent candidate.
In no political campaign in recent years
fras the public at large shown such apathy
as was displayed at the primaries yester
day. There was not enough enthusiasm
abroad to involve the workers In friendly
arguments, not to mention fist fights.
The only thing that caused a stir all
day was the yellow dodger that Thomas
O. Devlin posted up in all the voting pre
etnets. Some of the bilious posters were
actually pinned to the voting tents or
tacked to the sides of the polling booths.
When the workers for the other candi
dates caught sight of the posters, they
ent up a howl, claiming that such an
ar:t was clearly In violation of the law.
-In spite of this, however, the yellow
dodgers remained 'put.''
The poster that caused the sensation
read:
XOTIC'E TO VOTERS.
I have made no combinations with any
other candidates and I am not respon
sible for tickets or circulars distributed.
1 want every voter to choose his ticket
and I have no candidate to recommend
or crltklse.
At a number of the voting places
pictures of various candidates were
prominently displayed and the Devlin
followers contended that If the putting
tip of the yellow posters were contrary
to the law, the displaying of the pictures
was also. At the headquarters of the
Republican City Central Committee. Sec
retary J. W. Sherwood said that he was
of the opinion that nothing illegal had
been done by Devlin and that his Interpre
tation of the law was that It was in
tended for those who were working for
the various candidates. At any rate. Sec
retary Sherwood said the Central Com
mittee would not take up the matter.
Like the voting, betting on the results
was very light. About noon Devlin fol
lowers with money were willing to bet
S to 1 that he would receive the nomina
tion. Most of the betting, however, was
done on Keliaher and Coffey. Coffey's
friends were betting even money that he
would beat Keliaher. One man offered
to bet J1000 to that Coffey would be
eecond in the race and found no takers.
The fellow who delights in playing
dirty politics was abroad bright and
early. It is an open question whether he
slept at all, for with the daylight he
was "out with his hammer." Like the
colored man, he thought he was saving
the best for the last and he must have
worked several job-printing establish
ments overtime in order to have bis
campaign slanders out in time to reach
the voters. As usual the circulars were
' without signatures, the person or person
responsible being too cowardly to stand
sponsor for the villainous slanders.
Pan Keliaher Is Attacked.
Pan Keliaher, who until yesterday
morning had passed through the cam
paign without being made a target for
mudslingers, was the object of a scur
rilous attack. When Devlin. Coffey and
Zimmerman heard of the circular, they
disclaimed any knowledge of the matter
and heartily condemned the person, or
persons, guilty ot such a low political
trick.
J. Silvcstone. candidate for Municipal
Judge, also came in for a "knock" Just
before the polls opened. The story that
the Busier brothers were financing Sit
vestone'fl campaign had been gossiped
about for weeks, but some one started
the rumor yesterday morning that Jean
. Blaster had made the rounds of all the
down-town cigar stores the day before,
telling the proprietors that if Sllvestone
received the nomination, the slot ma
chines would be allowed to come back.
Sllvestone branded the story a false.
One of the things which kept the vote
down In nearly all the precincts was the
fact that the Democratic judges appointed
failed to appear. In precinct nine it was
CCZWCLMAAf 4- l&VZD
2 o'clock before the Democratic judges
put in an appearance. In a number of
precincts they failed to come at all and
other judges had to be sworn in.
QUIET DAY FOR THE POLICE
Three Saloonkeepers Arrested for
Selling Liquor.
The net result of police activity yester
day, with all members of the force on
duty throughout the day. was the arrest
of three saloonkeepers for violating the
ordinance which requires that drinking
places shall be kept closed on election
days. There were no arrests for disturb
ances of the peace at any of the -polling
places', or for any other cause, and the
day parsed very quietly. -
The first arrest made was that of
Henry Hoffman, who conducts a saloon
at 424 Hawthorne avenue. He was tak
en into custody by Detective Sergeant
Jones and Acting Detective Tichenor,
and was released upon depositing J.y
bail. John Crocker, of 41 North Sixth
street, was the second arrested. He de
posited bail and was released. The third

nEVI.IN NOT SURPRISED.
T am ffattsned in every respect. I
knew I would be nominated, but my
irsjority was- larger than I had ex
pected. 1 thoroughly appreciate the
loyalty or my friend, ftnd 1 alix -feel
that long and faithful public service
has been rewarded. I feel prateful to
my opponents, who conducted clean and
honest campaigns and I pcrwonally 1
hold them in the highest regard and
beileve them to be loyal Republicans.
My friends are largely responsible for
my success. I have friends in all
parts of the city and when I sought
their aid they gave their services and
their sole motive was personal friend
ship for me.
