By Cnblo to The Daily Gateway.
Seattle. March S Complete returns
of the Seattle city election show that
Judge William II. Moore, municipal
ownership nominee, was chosen mayor
by a plurality of In over John Kip
linger, Republican. Notwithstanding
the result Judge Moore will ask a
recount of voles in the First ward in
order to expose the frauds which lie
charges were perpetrated there. He
states that lie will push tin* prosecu
tion of every man arrested on the
charge of illegal voting.
Kiplinger said this morning that lie
would not contest the election nor ask j
for a recount, and that he had no
charges to make.
Judge Moore announces that he will
: keep the city closed tight, as it has)
i been for three years, and will make a
specialty of ridding the public ser- j
j vice of grnfters.
