FOR PEIilS
Large Crowd Surrounds Milli
coma Club to Secure Elec
tion Returns.
When the last speaker has finished,
And the ballots shall fall in the
slot,
When the tariff and all of the Issues
Are folded away and forgot
We shall rest and gads, we shall
need It,
A season of quiet and still,
And none shall be suffered to utter
That short monosyllable, Bill.
And only our wives shall harangue
us,
And no one shall make a to-do
Of sundry alarums that strike us
As quite unimportant if true.
The partisan pleader shall vanish,
The seer and the prophet of ill,
And there'll be no occasion to utter
That short monosyllable, Bill.
The days shall be given to thinking,
And each man shall think for
himself;
The thoughts of the statesmen
to
problems
And the friends of the poor
their pelf.
to
The trusts shall resume with
the
harvest,
And the people shall bow to their
will"
But we'll live and rejoice in forget
ting That short monosyllable, Bill.
The Intense Interest felt locally In
the result of the presidential elec
tion yesterday was shown by the
crowd of between 500 and 1,000 that
surrounded the corner of 'A' and
Front streets last night to see the re-
! turns as flashed on a curtain across
from the Mhlicoma Club. The crowd
came early and remained late, watch
ing intently the bulletins from the
various cities and states showing the
trend of the vote
G. W. Cai eton who operated the
spe ial Western Union Wire to the
Milllcoma Club rooms, began receiv
ing the bulletins before G o'clock
and continued until 12 o'clock last
night. The service was good, bulle
tins being received In rapid succes
sion and being instantly thrown on
the screen across from the club. The
members of tho club filled the rooms
all evening.
When the bulletins from New
York began to come, showing a land
slide there for Taft, the crowd cheer
ed lustily.
s tho later returns continued to
show Taft gaining in New York with
indications that he would carry the
other eastern states by good majo
rltles, the crowd continued to give
vent to its cnthuslams.
Many women were in the crowd,
watching the bulletins almost as in
tently as the men.
That Taft should run ps well as
the bulletins Indicated, was a sur
prise to everybody In tho crowd
While the great majority of the
ciowd had hoped for a Republican
victory, their actions and talk early
In the evening Indicate more or less
misgiving on- their part.
Theie wore many expressions of
gratitude to tho Millloma Club for
Its couitesy and generosity In fur
nishing tho returns for the general
public. At first, whon tho club ar
ranged to secure the returns, It was
Intended that It should bo only for
tho members but President C. W.
Tower, W. W. McFnrland and others
suggested that it would bo conve
nient to tho public in general to dis
play tho returns and it was promptly
ncted 'upon.

Returns Come In Slowly From
Outlying Precincts
Today.
Despite the indications early yes
terday, only about two-thirds of the
full vote was polled In Coos county.
While the weather was good, many
did not take tho bother to get out
and vote, there being no state or
local contests to interest them.
Reports from the various precincts
are coming In very slowly today, lb
being Impossible to secure the vote
In several precincts despite the ef-.
forts of The Times and County Clerk
Watson to obtain the figures. The
indications are that the county will
give Taft a greater majority, even
proportionate to the total vote, than
it did Roosevelt four years ago. Des
pite the Republican gains, Eugene ,
V. Debs, the Socialist candidate,
made a big showing.
Election day passed off quietly at
all points. There was some betting
in Marshfleld but big odds , were
given on Taft, one party betting $100
to ?10 that Taft would win. Sey
mour H. Bell, general manager of
the Coos Bay Gas and Electric Com
pany, had a number of bets posted
and made a few, most of which he
lost. Col. Wm. Grimes and others
are said to have called him on his
boasting of Bryan gains and he fail
ed to come through.
In North Marshfleld, about twenty
ballots were spoiled and had to be
thrown out. In North Marshfleld,
eleven were thrown out. The count
In North Marshfleld was completed
about 8:30, but it was much later
before the count was completed in
South Marshfleld, owing to the lar
ger number of votes. In North
Marshfleld, fifty-three votes were
sworn in, and South Marshfleld
seventy-four. This makes the total
number of legal voters in the city
about 1,000.
Chafln, the Prohibition candidate,
and Hisgen, the Independence party
candidate, polled very few votes in
the county. The votes for the other
three candidates so far as obtainable
