The Election

The election Tuesday was a quiet affair, although the vote was a large one, over 102,000 ballots being cast. The result, with but two or three exceptions, was forecast several days before the election. Supervisor Kortick was defeated and this is to be regretted as he was one of the best business men on the board.

The following are the successful candidates, who will control the affairs of the city during the next four years:

Mayor, James Rolph Jr.; district attorney Matthew Brady; police judges T.I. Fitzpatrick and Morris Oppenheim; supervisors Warren Shannon, William S. Scott, Edwin G. Bath, Joseph Mulvihill, Richard J. Welch, Edward I. Wolfe, Charles J. Powers, J. Emmet Hayden and John D. Hynes; auditor Thomas F. Boyle; county clerk Harry I. Mulcrevy; sheriff, Thomas F. Finn; coroner Thomas B. W. Leland; assessor John Ginty.

Red Cross Mother

Dr. Mary Brown Girard of 768 Funston avenue is one of the most active workers in the Red Cross drive. Dr. Girard has been stationed at Third and Market streets and has met with great success in her endeavors. She is 83 years old and works as actively as a young girl. Regardless of the rain Tuesday she was at her station and her sweet, smiling countenance brought many dollars for the Red Cross. [...]

She has over 600 stereopticon views of the Exposition which she has given to appreciative audiences and she desires to take the views, with views of her adopted, loved city, to every county in this state and make money for the Red Cross.

Local News

The Richmond Furniture Co., at 541-549 Clement street has a fine new line of dishes and dining tables for Thanksgiving dinners.

Mr. and Mrs. Kerrigan and family moved Thursday to their new home at 556 Fourth avenue. They sold their Ninth avenue home to Samuel Levin, proprietor of the Coliseum Theater. The house will be moved and the land used for the extension of the theater.

The Exclusive Men's Shop, a store for dad and the boys, will open this Saturday, November 8th, at 111 Clement street. Ed Christensen, the proprietor, extends a general invitation to ladies and gentlemen to call and see the latest styles for dad and the boys.

The Clement Cafe, at Clement street near Sixth avenue, is now one of the prettiest restaurants in the city. It has been thoroughly renovated, cement floors have been placed and the interior, under the skillful work of Russell's Paint House has been transformed to an up-to-date wood finish.

It has been unfortunate for a number of auto repair shops in this district which have been condemned under the fire ordinance because they were doing business in wooden buildings, that they have been unable to secure fireproof buildings and are forced to go out of business until they secure locations.

An unfortunate accident occurred at Geary street and Fourth avenue Tuesday, when Hamilton K. Riggins of 246 Fourteenth avenue was injured by a collision of his automobile and a Geary street car. He was taken to the French Hospital and with good care is doing nicely. The young man who was driving the machine was cut about the face.

Particular attention is called to the condition of the building at the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Clement street. The place was formerly occupied by a saloon, but now it is used as a billboard and a convenience station. A little enterprise on the part of the owner would make the place desirable for business.
