Providence, R. l., April 6.-TSpo-
cial 1.-THE weather has been all that
could be desired to-day, and the vote is
the largest ever cast in the history of
the State.
AT 1910 this morning returns from all
over State were not in, owing to the
difficulty in counting, necessary under
the Australian system. The returns at
hand arc sufficient, however, to indicate
that there is no election for State off.

didates for State officers. Newport
probably elects but one Representative,
and it will require another election to
determine the choice for the other.
1t requires fifty-four members of the
legislature to elect on joint ballot and
the Republicans have at present fifty
one, with every probability of having
elected others.
The city of Providence went Demo
cratic by about 400 majority, but the
city assembly ticket is in doubt. Paw
tucket was carried by the Democrats by
about 100, and Woonsocket by little
less.
The Democratic assembly ticket in
Woonsocket is elected by thirty, but
tho Pawtucket assembly ticket is in
doubt. The result is Il surprise to

The Republican State ticket will be
chosen by the legislature and Nelson
W. Aldrich will be returned to the
United States Senate.
The Democrats made legislative gains
in several towns, but the result is sur
prise to them. Ordinary stay at. home
voters came out and overcame the heavy
Democratic registration.

NEWPORT, April 6.-[Speciall-The
State election in this city has been
hot fight, and the indications point to
the election of full Democratic legis
lative ticket. One ward is yet to be
heard from, which probably will not
change the result The vote has been
very large, and the ward rooms have
been the centres of excitement all day.
This eliminated in the Fifth ward,
where the Republicans claim that the
Democratic supervisor, who is also pres
ldent of the common council, violated
the ballot law by giving unsolicited as
sistance. They collected evidence and
placed it in the hends of Ex-city Solic-
itor Peckham, who has promised to
prosecute if it is sufficient, and q prom
inent Republican lawyer is of opinion
that it is.
The Republicans propose to bring
criminal suit against the president and
Supervisor Boyle. and, perhaps tho war
den of the ward as we'll, and also, il
necessary, appeal to the Supreme Court
and contest the seats of the members
of the legislature elected here.
There was serious row over the cleo
