SENATOR QUAY'S DEFIANCE.
He Declares That "the Gage of Bat
tie Is Accepted


Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-Senator M. s.
Quay issued the following statement
last night
Throughout the remarkable cam
paign just closed I declined to give eX-
preston to any opinion regarding the
issues involved, or the methods resort
ed to by the enemies of Republicanism,
though persistently urged to speak. IL
may not be out Of place to briefly do
so now that the battle Is over and the
victory won. The sovereign people
have, by their emphatic verdict, set the
seal of condemnation upon the late
contest by the enemies Of the Repub-
lican party. The fasifier, the scandal
monger, the libeller has been repudi-
ated by the people, and never again
will the present generation witness the
performances of this brood of character
assassins.
Despite the extraordinary efforts to
defeat Republican candidates for the
legislature, which have been successful
in a number of counties, the general
assembly will be overwhelmingly Re-
publican. The Legislature will COM
prise 165 Republicans, Sc Democrats
and independents, a Republican ma
jority on joint ballot of 76.
Regarding the United States sena-
torship, can only say this: All of my
friends have been aware of my per-
sonal antipathy to another term in the
senate, but those prominent in the late
crusade against the Republican state
and legislative candidates chose to
| force the issue. They have made it inn
perative that l shall be a candidate for
| reelection. The gage of battle Is aC-
| cepted. The result is in the hands Of
the Republican members Of the incom-
! ing Legislature, very large proportion
! of whom are my political and personal
friends. OF the result there can be no
possible doubt.
"The attempt to purchase the United
States senatorship two years ago did
not succeed then, nor will a similar at
tempt succeed now, bargain counter
methods having been repudiated by the
people of this state. I hereby offer a
reward of $4,000 for information lead
ing to the arrest and conviction of any
one endeavoring to bribe any state sen
ator or representative-elect. The
money for payment of this reward is
on deposit with George A. HUM
| Sons, bankers and brokers, Philadel
| phia."

From to 80 per cent. has been taken from

finer appearance as the flowers develop. NJ
collection will be taken at the door this even
ing. All will be welcome. A chance on
choice plant will be given to each purchaser
for every 80 cents worth bought. Fine cu
flowers will be offered for sale this evening

Omaha, Nov, 10.-Unoficial returns

lican. The balance of the fusion state
ticket will have about the same plu-
rality. The state legislature will be
Republican on joint ballot by from
6 to s, insuring the election of a Re
publican to succeed Senator Allen in
the senate. The congressional delega-
ton stands: Republican, 2; fusion, q;
doubtful 2.

STATE VOTE
1t Shows a Plurality For Stone,
Republican, of 1926,
SWALLOW CARRIED ONE COUNTY

In Every County Excepting Lacka"
wanna the Prohibition Candidate
Was Third-The Legislature and the
Contest For the senatorship.
Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-Followlng is
the vote by counties for governor. The
figures given in many of the counties
are official. and the remainder are un-
official footings Of the complete re-
turns The vote for the three leading
candidates foots up 95SS16. This is the
heaviest vote ever cast for governor,
and has been exceeded only by the
presidential election of 1888, 1892 and
1896.
Stone, Rep, received 473O6s votes;
Jenks, Dem, 353, 742, and Swallow, Pro-
H. G., 132,OO6. Stones apparent plural
ity is 1926, and he polled only 1850
short of a clear majority over the other
two candidates.
The vote for state treasurer last year
was; Beacon, Rep, 372,44s; Brown,
Dem, 242,731; Swallow, Pro. 11S, 969;
Beacom's plurality, 1871 The nor
NAL Prohibition vote in the state is
about 10000. Last year Swallow car
rled ten counties. while this year he
has a plurality in only one-Lacka-
wanna. Stone carries 35 counties and
jerks 81. Swallow was third in every
county excepting Lackawanna.
In the vote for state senators to fill
the vacancies caused by the expiration
Of the terms of 20 Republicans and {
Democrats the Democrats have elected
II of the 25 new senators. OF rs hold
over senators "a are Republicans and
Democrat. The political complexion O
the new senate will be, therefore, 81
Republicans and II Democrats.
In the vote for the 2O4 members Of
the house Of representatives 1876 were
| chosen who were candidates under the
Republican column and Is under the
Democratic heading. These rs include
some Republicans who were nominated
through fusion with the Democrats,
with the object Of defeating the regu-
lar Republican candidates, and were
elected on the basis of opposition to the
| reelection of United States Senator
! Quay. Those elected under the Re
! publican heading also include some
who have declared themselves opposed
to Senator Quay's reelection.
1t has not been clearly determined
just how many Of the 254 joint members
will vote with the Republicans on party
questions or how many will or will
not join with the Quay forces in the
election of a United States senator.
Both the Republican factions claim
to have sufficient strength to control
the election of a senator.
