SEATTLE, March 0. Seattle's
election of George F. Cotterill ns
nmyor, is today hailed by lending
progressive citizens as a triumphant
vindication of the principle of the re
call. One year ngo Scuttle, revolting
against the rule of the vice gang while
Hiram C. Gill was rnnyor recnlled him
by an overwhelming vote nt n special
election.
In suite of this protest ngninst
'Gillism" he again became a candi
date at the regular .March election,
and was supported by the same old
elements. In the face of tremendous
organization, of opposition, Cotterill,
progressive candidate yesterday sent
Gill down to his second defeat.
With 'JS0 precincts out of a total
of 281 reporting their votes, unoffi
cial returns tins nttemoon indicate
that George P.. Cotterill is elected
mayor by a majority of between f00
aim ouu votes. A re-check of tho
enuuty may change thafigurcs to
some extent, but n majority of GOO is
considered ft conservntive estimate of
tho result of one of the most hotiv
contested elections in the history of
tins city.
The single tax amendment is nn-

The Bogue plans for "a dty beauti
ful," which were prepared at a cost
of $75,000, have been rejected.
All of the four socialist candidates
