MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.
BosToN, Nov. Is, 1912.

| BosToN, Nov Is, 1912.
| DEAR SIR have the gratifying intelligence to
communicate that the election for Governor of this
Comm onwealth yesterday resulted in the defeat of
! John Davis, the present incumbent. From the re-
turns received however, it probable that there has
been no choice by the people, although Marcus Nor
| ton will have large plurality over Mr.. Davis.
The votes in $50 towns heard from, stand as fol-
lows: For Morton, 1925; Davis, as, 1913; scatter
ing 5,422. Last year, in the same towns the votes
| sood-for Morton, 1916; Davis, 49,39S; scatter
ing 5,ll5. Being gain for Norton over Davis, of
6,049-and for Morton Davis and scattering, Of
3,742 Morton falls short of majority in these $50
towns, $685. votes. Davis majority in the State last
year, over all others, was only 500.
The election Of Governor will undoubtedly devolve
upon the Legislature, the political character of which
is still doubtful
For the Senate there have been but few elections,
probably not enough to constitute quorum.
The House, in l67 towns heard from, except
Boston, stands as follows: Wigs, Sc. Democrats 65
No choice, AZ. Voted not to send, 81. Add Boston,
IS Whigs-makes 81 Wings to 65 Democrats The
character of the House depends upon the vacancies
to be filled in towns where there has been choice
The results of the Congressional elections have
been still more disastrous to the Wings. In eight
districts heard FROM out of the ten the Wings have
elected only two members, the Democrats one and
in five districts there has been choice The fol.
lowing the results
lst Distrct-Winthrop, Wing elected.
Cd. No choice. Saltonstall, Wing, 1857 Ran
toul, Dem, 5,l33; scattering, l,l49 Two towns
not heard from, which cannot change the result.
Sd. No choice MIR. Cushing's late district Rob
nson, Wing, 4,0l9; Mansur, Dem, 4,92S scatter
ing, ,224.
4th No choice. Hoar, Whig SIG; Parmenter,
Dem CATS; scattering, 8)5. One town to be heard
from Probably Mr. Parm.ntcr has lost his election
by less than dozen votes.
5th No choice. Hudson Wing, 6,5Sl Merrick
Dem, 1924; scattering, 6Sl. This result is aston
ishing to all.
9th. No choice Baker, Wing, 6,l3l Chaplin,
Dem, 5,S6l scattering, 5s7. One town only to be
heard from.
7th. No returns-probably no choice.
9Th. J. Q. Adams, Wing, elected. Adams, Wing,
| 5,272 Wilkinson, Dem, 1903; scattering, Co.
Two towns to be heard from.
9th. Williams, Dem, elected. Sprague, Wing,
1926; Williams, Dem. 6, 100; scattering, 66I. Two
towns to be heard from.
10th. No returns.
These results which must be cheering to all the
true friends of the country, because, first Mr.. Tyer
has many friends and supporters among the Demo-
cratic portion of the old Wing party in Massachu-
| sets secondly, Mr.. Clay has not the confidence
of the People, and his nomination has crushed
even the popularity Of John Davis in his own State
and further if has proved to the ultra aywhig par
ty that abuse, devoid of argument, has weigh,
with the People, and only TO draw forth their
| disgust against those who make of it.
In much haste, yours, &C.
