Analysis of Mayoralty Vote
Indicates That Coneentra-
y tion of Forces Would Have
Turned Chief Executive's
Tosition Elsewhere.'
Analysis of the mayoralty vota In
dicates plainly that Joseph Simon's elec
tion -as due ..chiefly to the lack of
concerted action among; the voters op
posed to his candidacy. Simon received
a majority of all votes cast, but this
fact becomes less significant when, the
results of the election Mc examined
carefully. The total vote cast fog
mayor (unofficial Jlftures) was 17",643,
ol which Simon received 8966, Munly
4777. Albee 2848, Noffke (Socialist) 784
and McDanlel (Prohibition) 46S. Simon's
vote therefore exceeded that of all his
competitors combined by 289.
But the Munly and Albee vote to
gether amounted to 7426, or only 1D00
less than Simon's, and If the antl-Slmon
vote had been concentrated on a single
candidate so as to afford hope of vic
tory, It probably would have been In
creased to large flfrures. The Republi
can candidates for auditor, treasurer,
cltv attorney and municipal ludgre re
ceived from 4000 to 6000 votes more
than were given to Simon. These fig
ures show that many Republicans, aside
from those who voted for Munly or Al
bee, refrained from voting for any can
didate for mayor.
CHy Auditor Barbur Is engaged In
tabulating the results of the election
and the counting of the vote will begin
this afternoon. Official results will
probably be .made known tomorrow.
Progress Is necessarily slow, owing to
the large nunfber of measures which ap
peared on the ballot. Elsewhere In this
Issue of The Journal will be found a
summary of the new laws and charter
amendments adopted by the voters.
With complete returns from all pre
