[[margin]] [[underlined]] Election [[/underlined]] [[/margin]]
The election passed off quietly, home [[?]] and the next night we stood on Van Ness with a very orderly crowd reading returns of the Call, that had promised to put out green lights if McCarthy (the anarchist) was elected - returns that read along with line

It was exceedingly interesting to see the Academy ruin and the types & records saved by the heroism of Miss Eastwood & the rest.  Mr. L. pointed up at the ruins of the galleries & told where each exhibit had been, & showed where the biggest fires had came from the library - eating deep - said the library made "beautiful ashes!" And now they are almost ready to move to the new temporary Academy in the Golden State park.
