M yland. -i.
In Maryland, the Democratic candidate
for Governor has received a majority
greater than that given in the State in favor
OF the aloption of the new Constitution.
and it is thought that every State and
county officer and every member of the
State Legislature elected is Democrat.
Returns from the City of Baltimore and
fourteen counties of the State give a Dem
ocratic majority of 2s 64O. Eight counties
remain to be heard from. But the major
ity already known is 1921 greater than
rat for the Constitution at the election in
September. The Democratic majority in
this Stale will reach nearly 10000.
Kansas.
Fall returns have as yet been received
from but few counties; but all received
show heavy Democratic gains, though the
State will probably give small R-publi-
can majority. Atchison county, the home
of Senator PoMERoY, which has heretofore
been Republican, gives decid; Demo-
cratic majority. Doniphan county has
elected three Republican, and two Demo-
cratic r representatives.. Leavenworth city
and county give about 300 Democratic ma
jority. Of nine Representatives, this
county will probably elect seven Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans.
No estimate can be made of the party
division in the Legislature.
The Euening Bulletin (RadicaD says
1.-THE returns indicate Republican vic
tory in the State by reduced majorities,
and the defeat of the Constitutional
Amendment by considerably larger vote
than was anticipated"
Negro Suffrage and woman's voting were
both defeated by eight or ten thousand
majority. There were no State officers to
be elected.
Wisconsin,.
Few additional returns have been re-
ceived from Wisconsin. The Democrats
gain six or eight members of Assembly and
three or four Senators, but the Republi-
cans still retain control of both Houses of
the Legislature. Seventy-five of the larg-
est towns and cities in the State, including
Milwaukee, show net Democratic gain of
LOO over the vote of 1865, when there was
a Republican majority of 10000.
- Minnesota.
The Republican majority of 10,2OS last
year is reduced to below 1000. The mea-
gre returns indicate that Negro Suffrage in
Minnesota has shared the same fate that
awaited it in other States.
