Day after last week's election, Democrat Pendergast, after exclaiming that "this is a better tonic than a carload of medicine," indicated that he might be a more stub born obstacle to Democrats Clark and Roosevelt than optimists might think.

They were getting ready for a battle. It began just before...
...just after the signing of the treaty of peace had given California to the U. S., came news of a great gold strike there.
