The Democrats Elect the Governor and
Probably tho Whole state Ticket.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Nov. 6.-The Herald has re-
turns from sixty-seven counties in the state
These give Boies a plurality Of 1900. The re-
naming thirty-two counties in 1887 gave a re-
publican plurality OF 1l,29a On this basis
Boies already has plurality of l,792 in sixty
seven counties, so that all gains in the remain
ing thirty-two counties will simply add to his
plurality. IL the same ratio of democratic
gains continues through the thirty-two
counties, Boies will have plurality in
the state of from eight to ten thousan' It is
now impossible to defeat him, and his plurality
is only a question Of gains in the remaining
third OF the state. So far there is not q county,
with one or two exceptions, but shows a demo-
cratic gain. In the counties so far heard from
there Is an average gain OF $50 10 each. The
majority of Boies runs hp 20 more than 5000.
He is almost certain TO take the balance OF the
ticket with him. Dubuque county, in full,
gives 1905 majority for BOies, and every man
on the democratic ticket is elected. Senator
Allison is now badly frightened lest the legis-
lature may also be lost.
The Des Moines Register says: Returns
from every legislative district show that the
next legislature will stand: Senate-republi-
can %; democrats, 22. House-republicans
90; democrats, Az doubtful, l."
dispatch from Washington says: ClarlSson
received telegram this evening from his
home in Iowa stating that the contest over the
legislative ticket is very close. and the result in
doubt
Complete returns from ninety.fve counties
and the remaining four counties estimated, the
same as two years ago, show that Boies, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, has 5,995 plu.
rality. The official returns will undoubtedly
increase this majority to about 1000.
The entire democratic state ticket, lieutenant
governor Justice OF the supreme court, super
intendent of public instruction and railway
commissioner is elected. The republicans
claim the legislature by eight majority on joint
ballot. but the democrats do not concede more
than three.
CHICAGO, Nov ia special from Des
Moines says:
There is evidently going 10 be a lively tmo in the
legislature this winter. The republican majority Is
small that every effort will be brought 10 bear for
the defeat OF Senator Allison and the enactment of
high license law. Whether either OF these can be
accomplished remains 10 be seen. Already the dem
casting about for n suitable candidate for
the senate for whom n few republicans can be In
duoed 70 vote Flush with their victory In the cleo
eessful candidate as the most available man, but
there is stumbling block in the way
in the shape Of the probable defeat
Of their candidate for lieutenant governor. la which
take Mr. Boios out of the chair would be 90
seems 10 be little doubt now that the liquor law will
be changed somewhat even 10 the extent OF tho en-
hctment OF high license Law. This Is not only the
desire OF the democratic party but seems 20 be The
will OF the majority Of the people, expressed at the
polls last Tuesday. Already the republican leaders,
like Congressman Henderson and Heed. and repub-
lican papers, like tho Sioux City Journal have
hesitated 10 say that prohibition the prime
cause Of republican defeat and 10 express belief
that high license law will be enacted this winter.
Now that II seems 10 be the feeling Of the people
that they have had enough OF extreme prohibition
and willing 10 return 20 high license IL will be
an easy matter for enough republicans In tho legs
aturs to combine with the democrats and give them
the change dem anded.
