by Booth In Effort to Defeat
Mott Blind Leader Beat
en by Woman.
SAX FRANCISCO. MT 11. (Special.)
Re-elected by a majority of Tlrtually
IDO or.r Jimi Booth, tha SoclalUt
candidate Fraalt K. Mott haa vror'i
conclu.lT.ly that Boclmll.m aa 't'
la a dead Uu la Oakland. Following
tha alectlon of 3. 6tltt Wllaon aa Mayor
of Berk.l.jr. Soclall.t. all
county wer proclalmtn that the -ood
ahowln of tholr candldata. Jame
Booth, at tha primary, waa a Cor run
ner of what would happan when ha
waa pitted In a man-to-man content
with Mott. Tha election bold tnla we
In Oakland. In which Mott wa. not only
re-elected by a safe majority but carried
with him hie entire ticket. f'
one commissioner, proved the f'16
of the theory. It aleo "'"S'Ji.t
that tha ehowlnc made by the Soclail.ta
waa more because of the political strife
In the metropolis of Alameda County
than because of the party feeling-.
'o
Enthusiasm Dn-
Boota had workln in bis behalf
many Interests In addition to hla party,
and with all these angels be could do
nothing. It U posalbla that Socialism
.will claim for Itself 7lctor;
ehrewd Judges of political condition
declare there la no reason for -lasm
because of the Tot that Booth
recelred. ,
The Oakland municipal election waa
in eeTeral res pacta one of the njoet re
markable and important ever held In
that city. It called out the largest
number of Totera who bare r gone
to tha Oakland polla at a local elec
tion. There were- 1I.0JJ rotes cast.
For tha second time since the annexa
tion of tha territory between Frultrale
avenue and the western boundary or
Pan Leandro. members of the Socialistic
party had aa opportunity of ahowlng
the strength of their organisation,
which they hare developed within the
last few years.
Mayor Mott polled' a total Tot of
11.7:2. while tha vote of Booth waa
tllT The total vat given soma of the
Socialists la mUleadlng because of the
disaffected persons who had a personal
grudge against Mayo Mott and whose
desire to run matters in their own
way could not bo gratified.
Condition politically In Oakland are
la a curloua state. Mayor Mott. while
In reality the Oakland "machine." baa
to be labeled a Progressive. He es
poused tha causa of Hiram Johnson In
the campalgn-for Governor and became
a strong Llncoln-Roosevelter.
At the same time the Alameda Coun
ty machine waa lined up against him,
while the anti-machine element In Oak
land proper waa out to beat him.
Mott' Opponent Divided.
These varloue people were willing to
combine on any candidate -who could
show more etrength than Mott Booth
won In tha primary chiefly because of
the number of candidates In the field
aad the Inability of the enemies 01 j
Mott to center their votes on any one
man.
It waa therefore necessary for the
disaffected to still stand by Booth If
they would down Mott. They had no
sympathy for Socialism of Itself and
oared little for Booth.
At the same time, it haa been pointed
out by a man who Is familiar with Oak
land politico that Mayor Mott' cause
-was benefited by tha fact that a Social
ist and no other candidate was running
sMralnst him. Hundred of voter who
did not car for Mott personally voted
for him because they did not wish to
give Socialism any advantage. Had a
man of the personality of J. Stltt Wll
aon. of Berkeley, who la known a a
conservative, been In the field, the re
eult might have been different. Booth
was known a an out and out radical
of tha strongest Soclallstlo tendencies
and consequently there were many .bus
iness men who could not sea their way
dear to support him.
Notwithstanding that th charter1
which haa recently gone Into effect in
Oakland la supposed to obliterate ward
ltnea In ascertaining tha resTilt of elec
tions. It Is allowable to note the man
ner In which the candidatea stood In
the sections of tha city formerly denoml.
nated wards. A study of th figure
of these division of th city shows that
Mayor Mott carried every ward In Oak
land with the exception of the Seventh,
la which he was beaten by only 600
votes. These rotes, however, came
from tha annexed district, which I the
stronghold of Socialism.
Other Socialist Badly Beaten.
Votes for other candidate will also
give a clear Insight as to th real
strength of the Socialists. For the po
et tlon of Auditor, for example. Oeorge
E. Oross bad a walk-over. There waa
no financier In th city, save a Social
ist merchant, who felt like opposing
him. Gross majority over Vincent was
444S. The Socialist candidate for com
missioner f the district In which that
party ha its strongest hold waa de
feated. William J. Race us won his
fight over the Socialist, A. Hunse. by a
vote of something like 12.000 to 1000.
Hunse carried hla own ward by a ma
jority of seven votea
H c. Tuck, the blind editor of th
Socialist paper In Oakland and the
leader ef the Booth campaign, waa one
of the candidatea for school director.
Hla opponent waa AnnI Florence
Brown and th young woman gathered
In 11.00 votea to the 745i that Tuck re
ceived. While It must be admitted that this
shows a fairly good Socialist support,
the fla-urea prove beyond any contro
versy that the war in Oakland waa a
war of Interests and not of th party.
$S0,tl5 Judgment Paid.
RAYMOND. Wash, May 1 1. Tha lar
gest judgment ever entered In th Su
perior Court of Pacific County waa
paid the first of tha week by Jobs W.
Kleeb and others to satisfy a judg
ment obtained by tha Nlcomen Boom
Comaany against tha North Bhor
Boom ai Driving Company. It amount
ed to II0.91i.li. This waa on of th
many cases growing out of th con
flict of two booming companies on th
North River. The suits have been
through all of the state courts several
times and on oas went to the Su
preme Court of the United State,
where It was adjudged not to ha La th
jurisdiction of that court.

TORIES' STRENGTH
IS FAST WANING
T. P. O'Connor Declares De
feat Is Only Question of
Very Short Time.
VETO BILL TO BE FORCED
Liberal Become Confident and Ag
gressive, Wlille) Every Tory Move)
TJnlte Enemies Fight Re
newed After Coronation.
BT T. P. O'CONNOR,
(bpeetal eable to the Chicago Tribune. Copy
rlcht. 1B11. by the Tribune Company.)
LONDON. May It. (Special.) The
Tories have reaohad that stag which
a priseflghter reaches when he la so
clearly beaten that he strikes out
wildly and anyhow and thus exposing
himself to worse punishment, brings
defeat mora speedily and more com
pletely. Every new Tory move strengthens
and unites their enemle and weaken
and divides their own ranks. Lans
downs' new scheme for the House of
Lords reform, for instance, has not won
a single Liberal and has made the
Liberals now more confident and ag
gressive than ever. The scheme waa
intended by Lansdowne to make the
Liberal position on the veto bill so dif
ficult that the Liberals might be forced
to accept the scheme as an alternative
to the veto bill and thus get rid of
the veto bill.
The Liberal reply to such a sugges
tion came promptly and defiantly from
the lips of Lord Morley in the House
of Lords. He said no such a sugges
tion would be entertained for a mo
ment The veto bill must go forward
UU It became a law, and yet nobody
denies that the Lansdowne "scheme,
though defective and fantastic mark
an extraordinary advance on any pro
posal for self-destruction yet advanced
by the Torlea
It Is from their point of view a death
and burial by their own hands with
out any hope of the resurrection of the
old House of Lords.
Such an abject surrender and such
suicide comes within two years of the
assertion by the rejection of Lloyd
Ueorge's budget In the most arrogant
form, of the Lords pretension to om
nipotence. It wa the most remark
able and speediest and most complete
caae of self-destruction of century
old tyranny known to history.
Lansdowne Lands Hard Blow.
In the meantime Lansdowne' pro
posal further breaks up the Tory ranks.
The backwoodsmen peers who obeyed
Lansdowne's advice In rejecting the
budget are rewarded by being thrown
by him to the Liberal wolves. Gould,
the Liberal caricaturist, bit off the
aituaUon delightfully, representing
Lansdowne as the headsman with an
ax In his hand and the block at his
feet, sweetly Inviting the backwoods
men to put their heads on the block.
.,. unriar these cir
cumstances that the final stages of the
veto fight In the Mouse ot oimuuwa
has become laughably futile. Everybody
. - . . nn.... n fimmnnM fl.na the
nesenea iuo xxwmov -
Tory orators denounced the revolution
In lurid language, to auaiencee ; w..
.-j t ..mhan and this small audt-
ence only replied with loud guffaws at
at I XT r I rn n I
these propnecies 01 a cumwe,
disaster. It was Ilk a play which the
author intended to be a moving
tragedy, and the audienc Insisted on
treating as a broad farce.
We now know clearly the prospect or
the Immediate future. The House of
Lords finally has resolved to accept
this veto bill on second reading. The
peers will then postpone the subsequent
stages till after the coronation and
then will begin an attempt to cajole
the Liberals Into a compromise of some
kind or other. Liberals win be
asked to drop the veto bill and accept
a new and reformed Hous of Lords
as a substitute.
Suggestion Readily Dismissed.
The latter uggestlon already ha
been dismissed by the Liberals. Next
the Lords Will propose the dropping of
home rule from this scope of the
veto bllL That suggestion already has
been rejected with equal emphasis and
then, all of their dextrous and panic
stricken suggestions being refused, the
Lords will finally accept with a big
gulp the veto btU In Its present shape
and we shall- go on to the next stage
of the struggle, namely, the Introduc
tion and fight over the home-rule bill.
That blU will be passed through the
House of Commons by next Summer.
Then. If it Is rejected by the Lords, a
fierce agitation wiU open In the country
and some people suppose that, with
the veto gone, the House of Lords may
consent to some compromise which will
relieve the Liberals and Irish from the
necessity of passing a home-rule bill
the second and third time and waiting
another year for home rule.
