Entire Ticket Carried to Victory in a Landslide, Which Was Predicted by the Palladium Last Sunday -Pettis Reid Only Carried Two Precincts, and Every Ward Gave Zimmerman a Majority, Even the SiXjJi Which Was Considered a Reid Stronghold. Republicanism in Richmond won the greatest victory in its history yesterday, when the entire ticket achieved success, only slight opposition being offered. Dr. W. W. Zimmerman, the successful mayoralty candidate .swept everything before him and also carried his fellow candidates ' Into office. Dr. Zimmerman, who has twice been mayor of Richmond, and who ( was defeated four years ago, has obtained what he desired a third elec- ' tion, and he did so by the greatest majority ever given him in his previ- ' ous campaigns, or that of any other successful mayoralty candidate, so far - as any record can be found. Dr. Zimmerman, popularly known as "the little Doctor," made the race of his life and snowed Pettis A. Reid, the , democratic nominee, under by a 1,215 majority. - Credit to-the Doctor.. -s .-.......-T-.. The more than anticipated success of the remainder of the ticket is due to a large extent to the efforts of Dr. Zimmerman. Democratic strong- ' holds were stormed by the republican hosts and all fell before the onslaught. Never before In all of his political contests has Dr. Zimmerman been able to carry every ward In the city. In addition, he came near accomplishing an almost impossible feat, that of carrying every precinct in the city. Out of the thirty voting precincts, Dr Zimmerman carried twenty-eight. These two were the twenty-ninth, in the Sixth ward, which gave Reid a majority of six, and the thirty-second precinct in the Seventh ward, wher3 Mr. Reid won by two votes. Two Looked Doubtful. The most ardent supporters of republicanism and those thoroughly conversant with the situation yesterday afternoon, would not concede Dr. Zimmerman the Sixth ward, and also considered the Seventh ward as doubtful. How badly fooled these men were, is shown by the official vote. In the Sixth ward Dr. Zimmeiman received 206 votes and Mr. Reid 277, giving the ward to the republican candidate by a majority of 17. In that doubtful Seventh ward, the vote stood, 327 for Zimmerman and 276 for Mr. Reid. Dr. Zimmerman was successful by 51 votes. The efforts of the Woman's Civic League in favor of Mr. Reid, apparently had but small effect. Dr. R. A. Schillinger, the present mayor, was materially assisted by the women four years ago. . The women made a very gallant fight this time, but the voters failed to heed them. Dr. Zimmerman more than made up in every precinct, with possibly two or three exceptions, what he lost four years ago, as a result of the women's efforts. With Gocd Grace. Members of .the democratic organization are taking their bitter pill with good grace. They try not to appear sore at their candidate's defeat, by saying that it was the will of the people. Little interest was manifested in the races of the other candidates, unless It was the race In the First ward between Alphons Weishaupt and Caspar Jelly, respectively, republican and democratic nominees for council. The First ward had been regarded as democratic, but Mr. Weishaupt defeated Mr. Jelly, who, by the way, is his cousin, by he substantial majority of 80 votes. Will Schuerman, the democratic nominee for city clerk, was more than an "also ran." Baltz A. Bescher, the successful candidate for clerk, ran ahead of his ticket and received a majority of 1,902, which was greater than the number of votes cast for Schuerman. Bartel Wins Easily. In the Fourth ward, the first returns looked rather serious for tha chances of William H. Bartel, the republican nominee for re-election. However, after all returns were In it was found he had won out easily by, a majority of 74. '

It certainly was a republican day in Richmond. The voters, after more than three years rule by the democrats, were more than anxious to switch back to the good old rule.

REID.

Aldermen today said that he wan ready to take up the duties of mayor should Gay nor quit. In a sneach made In the Bronx last Thursday. Gaynor made hia threat in these words: "Just think of electlnc me if you will with a hostile boar! of estimates. Why. you would fret me to death. O I could not stand It and I would not stay there." Reverses His Statement. In a speech delivered Saturday night, however, Gaynor contradicted: himself, declaring that he had no intention of stepping out if returned by the voters. A move to question .the mayor-elect as to which statement h will stand on. was talked of and may be carried out. John Purroy Mitchell today said that he had no doubt Gaynor would resign. He has said repeatedly in public that If the Tammany board of estlamtes was not elected and he was. he would resign. We expect io eminent and pious a jurist to keep his word. In that event it would be my duty to assume the office of mayor under the law. I am ready to do so, since Mr. Gaynor is determined to thrust the honor upon me." , , With Tammany, except for the ticket leader, routed all down the line, the retirement of Charles F. Murphy from the leadership of Tammany hall was predicted today. .One republican paper (The Tribune) today went so far as to announce that his resignation would be tendered at the December reorganization meeting of the county and executive committee.
