From sunrise to sunset earnest men were at the polls, working as If their lives depended on the result. And their labor was not without reward. When the sun went down yester day evening the old administration was dead and bossism in Raleigh was a thing of the past. Mayor Johnson did not carry his own ward. He car . rled the second division of the fourth by 16 votes. Police Justice Badger did not carry one single precinct in the city, so complete was the destruc tion. The reform ticket elected seven aldermen. In the second division of the fourth ward there was no reform candidate, and to this fact is due Mr. Sherwood Upchurch's re-election to the board. Mr. Joseph G. Brown won easily over Mr. Arthur. Geo. L. Womble, D. K. Wright, J. C. Elling ton, E. D. Peebles, George M Har den, and W. A. Cooper won easily. Mr. J. A. Briggs, police commission er, was re-eleoted without opposi tion. Last night the jubilant citizens of Raleigh hold another overflowing mass meeting, celebrating the great victory won at the polls yesterday. A number of strong speeches were made, the general feeling being that Raleigh had redeemed herself. The city has been in the absolute and un disputed control of the ring for many years. The rebellion against .the tyranny of the ring which culml nated in the wonderful victory of yesterday, was -the very first on rec . ord, and it means great things for Wake county. The democratic party has a normal majority of nearly 3,000 la Wake county. Boslsm has driven from the party many good democrats, who, feeling that they could not get fair treatment in the party whose fundamental principles they love, de serted the ranks and voted the re publican ticket, reducing the demo cratic majority In Wake county to 1,500. This victory will give this element hope. They, will see that united and determined - effort will give them the reforms they seek in the party of their fathers and that no longer will it be necessary for them to go over to the enemy to enjoy political freedom. , .: .' The Meeting. - As the returns came in Mr. Pace read them to the great crowd that filled to Overflowing the. court house. Mr. Wynne was called upon to speak and responded briefly. He said he did not take to himself credit for the victory. To W. H. Pace, Jas. Pou, J. W. Bailey, The News and Ob server, and The Evening Times the eternal gratitude of the people of Raleigh Is due, Mr. Wynne made a . good speech, despite the fact that he forgot to say "Fellow citizens and democrats". . - ' .'l : Mr. Stronach was called on, but It wft tWi Uwt b WW out tele- Official City ?, ?;-' Police Tax Police Mayor.

W. H. PACE. The Resourceful and Fearless Young Leader of the Reform Movement. phoning the news of the great vic tory to his wife, and the crowd waited Kood-naturedly for his return. Mr. Stronach's speech was very short,, full of feeling and voicing a deep sense of the responsibilities of the office to which the people have called him Dr. R. T. Vann was called on by the audience and responded to the call In one of the brightest and witti est speeches that has been made dur ing the whole campaign. He de clared that the steam-roller was In scrap-iron and ready for the junk shop. His references to Sherwood Upchurch, the only surviving mem ber of tho late city administration, caught the crowd, and was greeted with laughter nnd applause. He said: "Only one rosebud has survived the recent frost. (Laughter.) He is 'the last rose of summer left bloom ing alone.' All his lovely compan ions are withered and gone, and if he gives out no better odor than we've been smelling, two years from now we'll sing the next stanza: 'We'll not leave thee. Thou loved one To pine on the stem; All thy comrades are sleeping, Go rest thou with them.' " He ended his splendid speech in this way: "One new enterprise we started to day. We have built a brand new cemetery for the recent dead by the aid of Sexton Pace, Undertaker Bailey, that splendid landscape gard ener, Jim Pou, and many others. Over the gateway of this cemetery one may read:- "The final resting place of all who have misused their public trust and trampled on the liberties of a free people. "And now, my frionds, you have proved yourself worthy of your town and she will be worthy of you. May each of you., feel tonight the well-deserved smile of your mother city and hear her proud voice saying, 'Well done, my noble-hearted childiten.' " ' Mr. J. W. Bailey made a speech, short and to the point, voicing the hearty appreciation of the courteous treatment the opposition had accord ed him and the other workers at the polls. He said that there had been an absolutely square deal at the polls and he for one was ready to for get the past and join hands with the vanquished for the accomplishing of greater things tor greater Raleigh. Mr. Josephus Daniels made a characteristic speech, voicing his faith In the future of Raleigh, He said that yesterday's victory means great tWugs (or Raleigh, and Wake FORCES IS Vote by Wards. county and spells the end of political bossism. Mr. W. H. Pace Speaks, The meeting would not have been complete without a speech from Wil liam H. Pace, the energetic, clear headed young lawyer who so ably con ducted the campaign, and there was not a man in the great crowd but who wanted to hear from him. Mr. Pace Is a young man, one who was an un known factor in politics up to a few days ago. A little oveV a week ago Hon. R. H. Battle, the veterr.n fighter of the battles of his city, at the first mass meeting of the campaign, arose and placed in nomination for cam paign manager Mr. 'W.' R. Pace. He said he had had his eyes on Mr. Pace. : He knew him to be clean, hon est and faithful to every trust. Mr. Pace was unanimously elected and in lowed that first momentous moss meeting he has justified the wisdom of Mr. Battle In. nominating him and of the mass meeting in electing him. With tact and generalship astounding because of Its high quality and also because of its very unexpectedness in one so young as Mr. Pace, he has done what no man has ever betore done in the city of Raleigh in one brief week's campaign he broke one of the strongest rings that ever held In its relentless grasp the political freedom of a people. For the week past Mr. Pace has not rested. He had done no work for himself, hiring another to attend to the work of his office. At all times of night one could see the light burning in his office, and from morning till night he was act ive in the service of his city. He had efficient helpers. There Is glory enough to go 'round and the words of appreciation of Mr. Pace's efforts are his just due and detract in no way from the noble efforts of Pou, Bailey, Battle, 'W, N. Jones, Daniels, Weath ers, and a host of others who fought for good government. Every move ment must have a directing force every army must have its leader. Pace was the directing force, the leader of the army of reform and ! never was a general more loyally fol lowed. Mr. Pace Bald that the fight Is over now and that there Is no bitterness in his heart toward any man. He for one was ready to bury the hatchet, never to resurrect it unless the liber ties of his people and the future of his city demanded it. He desired to see the animosity aroused by the campaign done away with and har mony prevail in democratic rainks. He said the primary yesterday was honest and fair. It was no "Joke'.'. The deal was honest and square at every polling place. Hon. R. H. Battle made a speech In whleh he traced the good work ac complished back to the seed planted by tho ' Good Government Associa tion. He offered a resolution of thanks to Chairman Pou, the execu tive committee and the democratic press of the city. The meeting broke up at 10 o'clock and the crowd dispersed, everybody In the best of humor and delighted with the good day's work done. , Women Refuse to Pity. (By Cable to The Times.)

The poin:. has ueeii raised, he said, that it. will na nec-Fsary to issue bonds to meet 'he exp 'itses of the government. He -': continued with an academic di'scussioii Of the tariff. Representative OoiiKhis argued against the countervailing duty: on coffee. He said the people of the country would not, approve of the tax on coffee, while the countervailing duty would be a tax because Brazil and other countries could not abolish their export duty on coffee. Mr. Payne, the chairman, had stated that it was not expected to raise revenue from the countervailing duties be cause it was believed countries im posing an export tax would repeal it. However, he added, it had made clear that this contention of Mr. Payne is wrong, and the duty would have to come off. Representative Rothermel devoted most of bis time to trying to prove the paper manufacturers had : formed a combination In restraint of trade and read from the records to show 'there was a paper trust. - He said It came with bad grace for men engaged in a trust to ask for a protection oil 'wood pulp and paper.. .

He Intends to support it, with such amendments as the committee may make. One of. the. leading-features of the Tayne bill, he said, was the draw back section which enabled our man ufacturers to use foreign material in the manufacture of articles for .export, free of duty. Representative Mann was the next speaker on the tariff bill. He devoted his remarks to wood pulp and paper. He said that following an investiga tion made by the special committee 'of which he Is chairman, appointed for the purpose of investigating the ques tion of wood pulp and paper, the rec ommendation of that committee was embodied In the Payne tariff bill. He declared that the present consumption of spruce trees would soon exhaust the supply unless tho government took steps to conseve the trees. Ho esti mated these trees would be exhuustcd in thirteen years. Representative Sulzer said, in part: "I believe in taxing the luxuries of life and exempting the necessaries of life In so far as possible. To this end I favor a graduated Income and In heritance tax along lines that will ob viate any constitutional objection. All raw material essential to our in dustries and manufactures should be admitted free, in order that this coun try can compete successfully with the manufacturers of the world. I believe all raw material Imported into this country should1 come In free. 1 know It will aid the manufacturer and benefit the wage earner.

The seeonift' venire of fifty was exhausted yester day afternoon, with but one lacking to finish out the twelve men who will decide between life and death for Earle Cotton, Tim Holderfteld and Red Hopkins. v ,'Tne defendants were -looking aa well as usual, the strain apparently haying no effect upon them. One of them turned around to The Times man as he came in and said, "I told you ........ was going to get beat in the primary." From this and other remarks, It was very evident that the defendants are still confident of victory. Neither of them appear-:, ed as if he had lost any sleep over the matter, but on the other hand they all look as bright and cheerful as a lark. In the writer's mind the seriousness of the charge has never yet dawned upon them. As the defendant Cotton's allow ance of peremptory challenges had been exhausted, Mr. Bart M. Gatling, counsel for Red Hopkins, questioned the veniremen as to their competency to serve on the jury. The second de fendant's peremptory challenges were exhausted at 10:30, and the attor neys then proceeded to make UBe of the twenty-three challenges allowed the third defendant. Whil at the opening of court the court room was not crowded, there was a goodly number present and as the trial proceeded they continued to come in. At 10:30 all seats on the white side were occupied and the cur ious spectators had begun to stand in the aisles. About three-fourths or the seats reserved for colored people were occupied, while inside the bar the majority of the seats had been taken. The last juror was selected at two minutes to eleven o'clock, after about twenty of the third venire had been questioned and challenged. The twelfth juror is T. A. Stephens, of Swift Creek township. ,; Immediately after the Jury was completed the defendants were sNod up and the indictments were read, followed by the instructions to the jury. The defendants, during this time, faced the clerk without even so much aft batting an eye. . 4 - By tiis time the centre aisle, was packed The judge, however, order ed the sheriff to remove the crowd or make them take seats. y The entire jury is composed ot good, honest citizens from the coun try, 'not a single Raleigh man being on it.
