HEARST'S BIO VOTE
There i? much reason to believe that (
if an honest count could be secured It j
would be found that William R. Hearst
was elected mayor cf New York. (
There is no quest ion in the world but j
that had there been an honest vote Mr.
Hearst would have received a decisive
plurality.
That this result of the campaign j
against Tammany could be possible j
was not dreamed of two months!
ago and it suggests a condition
that is worth inquiring into. That
much of the Hearst strength was
due to the antipathy of dscent citizen
ship to Tammany and Tammany meth
ods is unquestioned, but it does not fully j
explain the extraordinary turn events j
political have taken. The same feeling !
existed two years ago when George Bt
McClellan defeated Seth Lowe by an
overwhelming majority. Since then
there have been two years of .excellent
government by a Tammany administra
tion. Even William Travers Jerome in
his campaign this fall took occasion to
apologize for the violent charges he
made against Mayor McClellan two
years ago. He paid the mayor the com
pliment of being an honest and clean
official.
The cause for the great Hearst vote
can probably be looked for in the grow
ing feeling against the methods of
money getting that prevail among the
high financiers of the land and to the
persistent and consistent war Hearst's
papers have made upon them. In the
uprising of the people for a square deal
in business and official conduct Hearst
has been on the side of the people.
The majority of New York voters have
reciprocated by voting for him for
mayor.
George B. Gox, of Cincinnati, who I
long has been the republican boss of I
Cincinnati and most of the last twode- !
cades party leader in the state of Ohio,
has announced his retirement. He says
the state's going democratic is the
cause of his announcement. That is
sufficient vindication for those republi
cans in Ohio who voted the democratic
state ticket. Their purpose was to
drive Cox out of politics.
One of the strange features of the re
cent eleotion in New York rras the fact
that all the candidates of all the parties
for mayor and for prosecuting attor
ney, including those on the republican
ticket, were democrats.

The Golden Calf >
[Copyright, 1805, by T. C. McCluro.] f
The girl bad stood silently nt the
window for some few minutes, watch- i
Ing the long, slanting lines of rain that J
came driving down from the dim col- {
ored clouds In the sky. With every" J
savage gust of wind the dead leaves ?
came swirling down, and the giant ;
elms In the street tossed their branches i
In wild distress. J
The strife of the storm without seem- J
cd typical of the stormy combat that ;?
was going 011 In her heart? a warfaro ?
between her Inclinations and the die- J
tates of sane, calm judgment. 1
The man sat quietly by the library ?
table, his keeu eyes fixed steadfastly '
on the girl and a grim expression, half
expectancy and half iron determina
tion, curving the comers of his mouth.
The girl turned from the window,
and from her eye3 he learned the cou
tllct was not yet brought to an Issue.
She spoke slowly, with something like
appeal to her toues.
"Must you g:> tomorrow?" she asked.
"Tomorrow," he replied Inexorably.
"And? and you want an answer be
fore you go 7"
"An affirmative answer," ho correct
ed smilingly.
"Don't go out there, Tom," she said, ,
with a queer little quaver in her voice '
"I must," he said simply. "It's a -
magnificent field. It offers everything
I want? money, power and position."
His eyes burned as he spoke, but they
softened as they rested on the girl's ?
face. "Think what it means," he fin- -
ished.
"You're sure you want all this? the
money aud the power?" she asked.
"Absolutely certain," said lie cheer
fully.
She turned to the window again and
watched the leaves driven hither and
thither In the wind. Then she faced
the man at the table with a pathetic
(tmlle on her lips.
"Tom, I? I? can't," she said.
He sat quite still, as If the words
had stunned hlui. His eyes stared ,
blankly at her.
"You don't love me, Helen? is that
ltT" he asked very slowly.
"It's not that," sho confessed.
"Dont you have faith In my ultimate
success?" ho asked.
"All tho faith in the world," she de
clared.
Then tell cue, Helen, what makes
you hesitate?" said he.
"I don't know Just wlmt it Is, but
something makes mo afraid of you,"
*he replied. "I think it's because I
know you'll have money and power
and all that goes with it. I'm afraid
I shall become Just a side Issue In your
life."
"Never!" he maintained stoutly.
She held out her hand deprecating
1 r
"I've watched you rise," she went
.to. "I've watched you climb up, up? !
always up. But you are never satis
fied. You are bound to go on and on
and on. You speak of money. You
have an amount now that many a man i
would envy. You talk of power. It
is yours here. Aud yet It Isn't enough, i
You must go to other fields with great- ;
or opportunities. Tom, dear, It's hard *
to say, and yet I must? you bow dowu '
to the golden calf aud you always will. )
In the years to come you would think 1
more and more of your ambitions and <
correspondingly less of me. That is J
why I say I cau't marry you."
She sat dowu opposite him aud rest- j
.?d her head 011 her haud. He rose <
quietly and came round to her side of j
Che table. He stood beside her, his
jig hand resting very gently on her
irown head.
"Did you ever stop to think why 1
'ought so hard to rise?" he said.
She shook her head.
"It was because of you," said he.
'Every ambition, every motive, I owe
.0 you. If I conquered the world aud
aid it at your feet I should still feel
mworthy of you."
He stood silently looking down at
ier. The wind whistled shrilly aud the
?aln beat sharply against the window
.janes. She felt the hand on her head
tremble.
"Helen, do you love me as I am?" he
.izjteu.
"Yes," she said.
"Would you love me If I were penni
less?"
She looked up at him with a smile
that transformed her face.
"How I should love you then!" she
laid simply.
He caught one of her hands In his
snd fell to laughing softly.
"My ambitions are really of your
making. Do with them as you will,"
said he.
"You mean you won't go out there?"
she asked.
"I mean I have ceased to worship the
?;olden calf you mentioned," said he.
"No man can serve two masters, and I
.hlnk X make a wise choice In serving i
/on," he laughed.
Ha bent over her and saw there were
'ears In her eyes.
"What on earth nre you crying for, |
Helen?" he asked.
"Well, I have a sneaking sympathy
r the golden calf." she said, smiling
lapplty through her tears.
