spective Candidates-De Vries
the Only Democratic Congress
man Elected.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-The
latest returns received from every por-
ton Of the State confirm the earlier re-
ports of sweeping Republican vic
tory. The plurality for Gage is not
placed at less than 10000 and may ex-
ceed that figure. Jacob Neff, the Re
publican candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, has everywhere run up with the
head of the ticket, and in some coun-
ties has scored a good lead.
Curry for Secretary of State, made a
poor showing, compared with the other
nominees, and has probably been
beaten by Thompson, his Democratic
opponent.
The contest for Supreme Justices
was very close. and the Democrats are
now claiming the election Of both of
the fusion nominees, Conley and Van
Dyke. The Republicans, however, do
not concede this. and assert that Nc
Farland and Van Fleet have been
chosen, although the majority for the
latter will not be large. The complete
count may be necessary to determine
the result with certainty.
The vote of the State for Governor,
i ,656 precincts out Of a total of 2,4O4,
gives Gage 124, 1878, Mcguire 110,547
For Secretary of State in the same
precincts Curry (R.) received SO, 223 and
Thompson CD 96,661.
The vote for Justices of the Supreme
Court in 1.315 precincts out of 2,407 Of
all the State give Van Fleet R.) 3d.
O61, Mcfarland R.) CLIO, Van Dyke
fusion) 1854, Conley 55,495.
The Republicans have elected Con-
gressmen in every district but the Sec
ond, where De Vries has been returned

There is no doubt that the next Leg
islature will be Republican and that a
Republican United States Senator will
be chosen. r. Porter Ashe CD has
been elected to the State Senate from
this city, defeating Leon Dennery by
twenty votes.
Returns secured up to midnight
show that the Republicans have elected
56 of the 50 Assemblymen. The Demo-
Gratis have elected II Assemblymen.
One independent in San Bernardino
wins. The remaining twelve districts
are in doubt, with a fair chance that
the Republicans will get another half
dozen members of the Assembly.
The Republicans also elect IA of the
20 new Senators, and that, added to
the IL hold-over Republicans, insures
% OF the 40 Senators. Two districts,
the Second and the Thirty second, are
in doubt, but the indications are that
Laird (R) wins in the Second District.
In the Thirty-second District the Re-
publican nominee is G. B. McCord of
Hanford.
The center of interest in the San
Francisco municipal contest has been
the fight for Mayor. Charles L. Pat
ton, the Republican nominee, although
novice at politics, made a good show
ing, but James D. Phelan, the present
incumbent, has been reelected by a
substantial majority. Assessor Siebe
will have to retire in favor of DR..
Washington Dodge, whose majority
will be large.
Judge Wallace has been beaten for
Superior Judge, and Barclay Henley
for District Attorney. The Eoard of
Supervisors, as we'll as about all the
other city officials, will be Republican.
LOS ANGELES.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9-The vote
in Los Angeles County is complete,
with the exception of the count in nine
precincts, which will not materially
affect the Republican majorities The
vote is as follows: Governor-Gage H.
1913, Mcguire 11,213. Secretary of State
Curry 1888, Thompson 1O,476. Con-
gress-Waters IA 1888, Barlow 10, ,I54
Board of Equalization-Arnold O,5OO
Toland 1857. The entire county ticket
was also elected.
FRESNO.
FRESNO, Nov. 9.-Fresno County
has gone Democratic by good major
ity From the returns received thus
far the widest dreams of the most en-
thusiastic Democrat have been realized.
In the fight for Sheriff it was thought
that Collins, Democrat, would carry the
country precincts by 800 or 900 and
lose the town by enough to elect Peck,
the Republican nominee. Collins has
carried Fresno City, and it looks as
though he will pile up a bigger vote in
the country than was anticipated. His
majority will be between 1000 and
/ 1,5O0
Returns received from forty-five pre-
cincts out of seventy-two up to 8
o'clock this evening give Mcguire
majority of 800 and Hutchison 100.
