New York.

Col. Roosevelt, RepuDllcan, is elecleu
Governor of New York by about 10000
plurality. The Democrats carried eleven
counties as against only one two years
ago, and Greater New York gave Van
Wyck $4,000 majority. AS compared
with the election of 1896, when Black de-
feated Porter, this shows Repuphcan
loss of from 100000 to 10000. Roose-
Welt came to the Harlem river with lOo,-
600 plurality and Van Wyck had but So
900 in Greater New York with which to
meet it. The vote outside the city shows
that Roosevelt lost $1,000 as compared
with Black. In the city his vote was 6l,-
900 smaller than Blacks. In the country
districts Van Wyck ran about 10000 and
in the city about $4,000 ahead of Porter.

and, although the Governor was badly cut
at many points, his Democratic friends
rallied to his support with more than

the Democrats elected five and possibly
six. In the House they will have five
votes. while eight others are in doubt. The

lot of 104.
Iowa voters elected the Republican can
didates in the eleven congressional dis
tricts of the State the safe ones by sweep
ing and almost unlooked-for majorities,
and the few who had contests on their
hands by increased pluralities, except in
one district. jor John r. Lacey, men,
Der of Congress, defeated Gen. James b.
Weaver by plurality of 1924, gain of
50 over his plurality in 1896. The Sixth

ing the campaign. The Republican State
ticket will have about 10000 majority.
