UTTEBDFFUT
Political Machine. Long Dom-
inant Demolished in Mu-
nicipal Elections.
REFORM MOVEMENT GAINS
New Organization Begins at
Once Campaign for
National Progress.
TOKIO July 31.—The political
machine which for ten years domi-
nated municipal government in To-
kto was demolished by the reform-
ers at the recent municipal elections.
So serious was the reverse that the
organization which was known as
the Toklwakai and which has been
called "Tokio's Tammany” has
been dissolved altogether.
The good government party re-
gards the overthrow of the organlza-
tion as a signal victory and Inui-
cative of the general reform move-
ment which is sweeping over Japan
In all branches of political life. For
the last ten years they had fought
to eliminate the Toklwakai majority
In the municipal assembly but each
successive attempt met with failure
until this year they have not only
removed the objectionable majority
but also defeated its leader. S. Morl-
kubo in whom they saw all of the
party's corruption personified. The
charges were similar to those which
have characterized so many munici-
pal upheavals in America —harmful
patronage corruption In the distri-
bution of contracts for public works
and general graft.
Younger Element Active.
The success this year was due
largely to the younger element
which was organizezd Into an anti-
machine body. Public meetings were
held and almost every means of
political publicity utilized to arouse
the voters of the urgency of good
government. The election continued
for three days at the end of which
the reformists had captured all but
21 of the 75 seats in the assembly.
Morikubo the ousted leader there-
upon invited his fellow victims to a
meeting at which it was voted to dis.
solve the association.
The new organization now in pow.
er is known as the Municipal Gov-
ernment Club. They arc not content
with reforming municipal politics
alone however and have already be-
gun a vigorous campaign to establish
themselves in the National House of
Representatives where the Selyuka!
or Conservative party will be the ob-
ject of Its attack. The Seiyukai has
a large majority In the Diet and
since it was linked with the now de-
feated Toklwakai it appears to be
in danger of losing its power.
The present Okuma cabinet is
backed by groups hostile to the Sei-
yukai. If unable to carry through
his program in the face of an op-
posing majority. Count Okuma
would be likely to dissolve the Diet
and give the people an opportunity
to register their will at the new
election.
Throe Classes of Voters.
‘An interesting phase of the suf-
frage question was seen in the re-
cent municipal elections. The suf-
frage Is very restricted there being
three classes of voters classified ac-
cording to the amount of tax they
pay.
Taking the city as a whole about
one householder In thirteen has a
vote. Each grade of voters elects 25
assemblymen. The voters of the first
grade number only 118". The second
category has 6136 electors. The great
majority of voters namely 49.948
out of the total of 57271 are found
in the third grade. To be qualified
for this grade the citizen must pay
a land tax or else an imperial tax to
the amount of two yen yearly.
The election of the assemblymen
of the third grade was regarded as
most closely expressing the popular
will. In every street leading to the
voting booth the candidate had es-
tablished committee rooms where
there was a good deal of smoking
and talking. Formerly tea and re-
freshments were at the disposal of
the thirsty or hungry voter but to-
day the government following the
ideas of the west permits only moral
suasion. The voter approached the
outer office of the election hall
gave his name and address and was
supplied with a ballot. Another of-
ficial checked and stamped the bal-
lot. The voter then passed upstairs
to the voting room where his ballot
was again supervised. Finally he
wrote the name of his candidate and
handed over his ballot to the offi-
cials.
SYRIANS IN A FRAY
1 Rotten Tomato and Milk Bottle Top
Cause of Fight.
R. Gabriel and P. L. Stevens both
Syrians appeared before Judge
Lowther in the police court Friday
the former as the defendant and
the other as the complaining wit-
ness. Gabriel was charged with an
assault upon Stevens the latter tes-
tifying that Gabriel had struck him
in the eye. Gabriel admitted this
but said he had been so angereu
when he found a rotten tomato a
wet paper top for a milk bottle and
some other articles in his coat pocket
that he couM not control himself.
He accused Stevens with having per-
petrated the "awful joke.”
Two Russians and an Austrian ar-
rested by Policemen Carpenter and
Martin on vagrancy charge were
each fined 350 but judgmer.i wss
suspended. Officers alleged the trio
loitered considerably about west side
resorts.

EXPECTED TO RECOVER
Drug Clerk Stabbed With Ice Pick Is
Resting Easily
That Leroy Thurman clerk at
Taliaferro s drug store stabbed seven
times with an Ice pick Thursday
morning and whose condition for
hours was regarded as critical
would ultimately recover was the
opinion expressed Friday by attend-
ing physicians. Though little change
has been noted in his condition
Thurman was reported Friday as
resting comparatively easy a fa-
vorable symptom at this time for
recovery.
The only fear entertained now it
is said is that pneumonia may de-
velop by reason of the two wounds
In the lungs. Every means Is being
resorted to by the physicians to pre-
vent this. Until the young man is
able to leave hl home 418 West
Elmira street no further action will
be taken with reference to a prose-
cution of the charge against the
two men.
