Louisville, Ky, Nov. 6.-The political landslide struck Kentucky yesterday with sufficient force to reduce the normal democratic majority almost to the van ishing point, if it has not disappeared. The secret blanket ballot made the re- turns provokingly slow, while several counties could not be reached by tele- graph but enough were received to indi- cate that the vote for governor will be close between P. W. Hardin, democrat and W. o. Bradley, republican. The vote was light throughout the state and shows a general democratic loss, not only for Hardin, but for the entire democratic ticket. Hardin was scratched consider ably in some counties, but in a few he ran ahead of his ticket. Returns from sixty-three counties, outside of Louis- vile, complete or estimated, give Hardin 6S,662 and Bradley 67442 In Jefferson county Gouisville) the vote complete is: Hardin, 15, ,796; Bradley, 1,393. For lieu tenantgovernor, Tyler, democrat, re- ceived 15444 and Worthington, republi- can, 1S10S. Other candidates received about the same vote. This shows that Hardin was not scratched, but that the democrats remained at home or voted the republican ticket There are fifty-five 
 which usually give large democratic plu- ralites.
 Scattering returns from about half of these counties show democratic losses, and it is considered doubtful whether Hardin can come to Jefferson county with vote sufficient to overcome the re- publican plurality of 5597 here The greatest surprise of the election is in the probable control of the lower house by the republicans. The returns indicate the election of fifty republican represent atives, forty-one democrats and nine doubtful. The democrats elect nine and the republicans nine senators, but the hold-over senators will give the demo- crats a majority in the senate and prob ably on joint ballot. The closeness of the legislature will make Senator Black burns reelection doubtful. In Louisville the republicans made almost a clean sweep. They elected all the aldermen, majority of the councilmen and three park commissioners and four out of seven school trustees. George Durelle defeated Judge George B. Eastin, the present in cumbent for judge of the state court of appeals, by 2349.
 Louisville, Ky, Nov. 6-The republi- cans are less surprised tonight than are the democrats by the result of the cleo tion in Kentucky. When the detained returns began to come in today Chairman Norman of the democratic committee conceded the election of w. O. Bradley as governor and the entire republican state ticket by a plurality ranging from 5000 to 12,O00. MT. Hardin also gave up the contest. Returns on the election of members of the legislature are incom- plete, but indicate that the democrats have elected forty-nine and the popu- lists one, which will make the house a tie, provided the republicans elect rep resentatives in unreported counties, which are generally republican. The democrats will have a small majority in the senate.
