State by Abeut 70 900
Majority.
Heavy Republican Majority in
the Legislature 1nsuring a
United States Senator.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.

a majority of % 900 to $4,000 The DEM
ocratic gains in the river counties are not as
heavy as usual. In Scott county, for exam
pie, the vote is relatively the same as that
for Secretary of State last year. In Dubuque
county the democratic majority was less.
The republicans on the other hand made
some losses in the interior counties, where
gains were expected The vote for the re-
publican supreme court judge nominated to
replace Judge Day on account of the sup
posed hostility of the latter to the prohibition
amendment, was not much smaller than that
of Gov. Sherman.
In the sixth congressional district the con-
test to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of M. E. Cults, republican is very close with
indications slightly in favor of the republican
candidate, ]. A. Stiles.
A special from Des Moines to the Journal
saws the democratic State central committee
today claim that Sherman's plurality for gov
ernor will not exceed 5000. The committee
also claims the election of Cook, democrat
for Congress in the sixth district.
DEs MONIES, Oct. 10.
At IS A. NJ. the returns received up to this
hour increase rather than diminish the est
mate of the republican State committee sent
at thr ee o'clock, and show forty-seven
republican members of the House elected
and thirty democrats, twenty-three unreport-
ed. of which the republicans claim twelve,
certainly.
The republican State committee estimate
the republican majority on the State ticket
from 80 900 to SO, 900. and that there will be
40 to 45 republican majority on joint ballot
in the legislature. The legislature is very
close on prohibition. The democratic com
mittee say the returns from 80 per cent indi-
cate that the State ticket is elected by 5000
to 5000 plurality
The republican State committee claims l6
and probably % of 20 new senators. Of the
House, ~ republican members are certainly
elected, and 20 democrat or fusion. OF 80
members uEreported, 18 will be republican.
The total number of precincts in the State
is 1860, and about l50 are heard from. De-
spatches are much delayed by unfavorable
weather. The republican net loss is not
more than Is 200, The best posted men in
the city say that with the figures before them
the plurality on Sherman and the entirr re-
publican ticket cannot be less than 10000.
The legislature will undoubtedly be repub-
lican with good working majority.
At 4 30 this morning 1873 precincts show
net republican loss of 1855 In So precincts
Hayes runs some 400 ahead of the ticket. 1t
| is estimated that the Sherman plurality will
not be less than 10000, and the State no
doubt will be strongly republican. The dem
| ocratic State committee cOncede the State
and legislature to the republicans. Nothing
definite is heard from the sixth congressional
district, but it is thought that Stiles, rep ;,
is elected by good majority.
| The democrats concede Sherman's cleo
ton by 5000 majority, and conceed five to
eight republican majority in the House of
the legislature and Is republican majority in
! the Senate.
At democratic headquarters the following
returns from the interior are gwen: Result
on State ticket is doubtful; republican will
not exceed 5000; the lower House is in
doubt; prohibition certainly defeated.
| Gov. Sherman will have 10000 or more
over Kline and probably $4,000 to $4,000
over all. Judge Reed will have nearly the
same. The legislature is republican on
joint ballot by at least 49, The House lie
close. but the republicans will have at least
to 10 majority. In the sixth congressional
district the indications are favorable to Stiles,
rep. Prohibition is probably assured.
The returns received by the State register
increased republican majority. In the legis-
lature the reports and summaries made early
this morning, show that Is of the 29 new
senators elected are republican, and definite
returns give 81 members of the House elect
ed to 30 democratic. OF the 20 unreported,
the republicans will probably elect Is. The
House stands Ga republican to As democratic.
| OF the other eleven new senators there will
probably be six republicans and five demo-
Gratis, giving republican majority on joint
| ballot of between As and so.
Later returns indicate the election of
Stiles, rep, to Congress in the sixth district
by small majority Mccoy, rep, for Sena-
tor in Mahaska county, reported defeated this
| forenoon, is elected.
| Coo, (fusionist) for Congress in the 9th
district is probably elected.
| Dies MONIES, Oct. 10.
| The summary Of the legislature is: Sena-
tors, republicans 81, democrats 8 and five in
doubt; House, republicans "a, fusionists 40
in doubt 6. The returns so far indicate that
the republican State ticket will have ma
| jority over the democrats of 26, 900 to rs, 900
and IL, 900 to 1900 over all. Judge Reed
| does not run over 1900 behind.
| BURLINGTON, Oct. 10, ]. 80 P. NJ.
| The returns from all but two townships
in Des Moines county. and these are esti-
mated from last year, give democratic
majority of 1929 on the State ticket. The
| entire democratic county ticket is elected by
a large majority except that of the auditor
which is very close.
| DAVENPORT, Oct. 10.
| Davenport City gives a democratic major
| ity of POO for governor and 29OO for the
