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 a plur-
atty anywhere from $4,000 to 10000. All
Of Colonel Roosevelt's 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
off in the republican plurality in the
state from $4,000 to the Appropriated
figures given above. Outside of Greater
New York the vote for Van Wyck is only
about one-fifth of | per cent above that
of Porter in 1896.
There appears TO be loss of four re-
publican congressman in the Brooklyn
district-the Second, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth-and Congressman Quigg, who had
a majority of about 1000 at the last cleo
ton, has been defeated by William Aston
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
and Thirteenth districts, both in this city.
Congressman Sperry, republican, and Jas.
Ii. Webb, were the opposing candidates.
Sperry's majority will be 1926.
The returns indicate that the republi-
cans will have majority of at least so
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
600 greater than that of the republican
candidate. This latter result was helped
in some measure by the result in the bor-
ough of Brooklyn, Kings county, which
in 1896 gave Black, republican, plurality
of 23,6s2, but today gave a democratic
plurality of about 1880.
Washington.
Spokane, Nov. 9.-Returns from half
the precincts in eastern counties of this
state indicate that the republicans have
carried the state. Walla Walla, Whitman,
Adams, Spokane, Garfield, Yakima, Kitti-
tas, Douglas and probably Whitman are
republican for state and legislative tick
cts. Stevens county may go for fusion
lists by two or three hundred. Meager re-
turns from Lincoln county show republ-
can gains there.
The defeat of the entire peoples party
county and legislative ticket in Spokane
is practically assured from complete re,
turns from the city and 80 out of the 46
precincts of the county. The republican
county officials are elected by ma jorities
of from $50 to $50 votes. The proper.
tionate majority is even higher than this
in the case of several of the legislative
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 over
Hogan, populist and silver republican,
and Marshall, republican, at midnight is
5000 or 5000.
Much interest was taken in the cleo
ton in all parts of the state, the vote be-
ing nearly up to registration. Indications
point to democratic majority in the leg
islature, although the exact complexion
of the assembly can not be learned at this
time.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. chairman
Blacker of the democratic state commit.
tee comedies the state to the republicans
by over 10000 plurality, and Chairman
Daugherty of the republican state CON-
mittee, claimed about 10000.
The Ohio congressional delegation re.
mains the same as at present, Is to 6,
each party carrying precisely the same
districts as at the presidential election
two years ago.
Missouri.
st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 9.-The Post Dis.
patch, independent, claims that Richard
Kerens and Edward A. Noonan, demo-
Gratis, have been elected respectively in the
Twelfth and Eleventh districts, defeating
Congressman Pearce and Joy, republicans.
The election of the republican city ticket
by 5000 plurality is conceded.
Indiana.
Indianapolis, Nov. 9.-Only about 800
precincts out of $3.50 have been heard
from, no one county having reported in
full. Returns come in slowly and both
parties claim the state. Chairman Mar.
tin of the democratic committee expresses
himself as confident that the democratic
state ticket is elected by about 5000 ma.
