New York, Nov. 9-Theodore Roose-
Welt republican, late colonel of the First
United States volunteer cavalry, has been
elected governor OF this state by Il plur-
ality anywhere from 5000 to 10000 All
OF Colonel Roosevelt associates on the
republican ticket are probably elected
with him. The returns, both from Great
er New York and from the counties OUT
side of this municipality, are incomplete,
but enough have been received TO indi-
cate heavy falling off in the vote of the
state while that in the city was well
sustained. The consequence is falling
oil in the republican plurality in the
state from 2l2,000 to the approXimated
figures given above. Outside of Greater
New York the vote for Van Wyck is only
about one-ifth Of l per cent above that
of Porter in 1896.
There appears to be a loss of four re-
publican congressman in the Brooklyn
distiict-the Second, Fourth, Fifth and
SiXth-and Congressman Quigg, who had
a majority of about 5000 at the last cleo
ton, has been defeated by William Astor
Chanler. In the Albany district the
Twentieth, Glynn, democrat, has been
elected to succeed Southwick, repub-
lican.
In addition to the foregoing there are.
seemingly, democratic gains in the Eighth
nd D. IL.
Congressman Spery, republican, and Jas.
II. Webb, were the opposing candidates.
SpeTy's majority will be 1925.
The returns indicate that the republi-
cans will have a majority of at least 80
in the general assembly.
In the municipality of New York the
old-time democratic majority was approx
mated, Van Wyck's vote being about So
900 greater than that of the republican
candidate This latter result was helped
in some measure by the result in the Dor
ough OF Brooklyn, Kings county, which
in 1896 gave Black republican, plurality
OF 23,6S2, but today gave democratic
plurality Of about 1880.
Washington.
Spokane. NOV. 9.-Retunns from hall
the precincts in eastern counties of this
state indicate that the republicans have
carried the state. Walla Walh. Whitman
Adams, Spokane, Garfield. Yakima. Ktti-
tas, Douglas and probably Whitman are
republican for state and legislative tick
cts. Stevens county may 90 for fusion
lists by two or three hundred Meager re
turns from Lincoln county show repubI
can gains there.
The defeat of the entire peoples party
county and legislative ticket in Spokan,
is practically assured from complete re
turns from the city and 80 out of the II
precincts of the county. The republican
county officials are elected by ma ioritie
of from $50 to $50 votes. The proper
Tomato majority is even higher than th
in the case OF several of the legislativ,
candidates.
Montana.
Helena, Mont, Nov. 9.-Campbell. dem
ocrat, is undoubtedly elected congress
man in Montana The best estimate
that can be made of his plurality owe
Hogan, populist and silver republican
and Marshall, republican, at midnight !
5000 or 5000.
Much interest was taken in the elec
ton in all parts OF the state, the vote be
ing nearly up to registration. Indication
point to a democratic Majority in the lee
islature, although the exact complexion
OF the assembly can not be learned at thi
time
Columbus. Ohio, Nov. Chairma
Blacker of the democratic state commit
tee comedies the state to the republican
by over 10000 plurality. and Chairma
Daugherty OF the republican state con
