lican ticket will be chosen my MAORI
ties even greater than that of Lind.
All seven republican congressman have
been elected.
WYOMING.
Cheyenne, Wyo., November p
There appears to be no reason to change
the estimates of the republican state
chairman, except that the republican
majority in the state will increase.
This is indicated by surprising returns
from new precincts. For congress at
large Frank W. Mondell, republican
is elected.
WASHINGTON.
Seattle, Washington, November g.
Returns from the state of Washing
ton are still incomplete, but enough
are at hand to make certain that the
republicans have overcome the major
ity Of 1,200 of two years ago, elected
both congressman and two supreme
court justices, by 5000 majority. Later
returns, will, it is thought, increase,
rather than decrease this estimate.
The legislature, which will elect a
United States senator will be republi-
can on joint ballot by at least 40 out
of a-membership of 112. This estimate
gdVes the fusiOnists all the doubtful
Tdistricts. The amendments to the state
constitution-woman suffrage, local
option, and municipal taXation-are
overwhelmingly defeated.

Richmond, Va, November 9.-Ad-
ditiOnal returns from Tuesdays cleo

TENNESSEE.
Nashville, Tenn, November 9.-Com
plete and partial returns from "a out
of Sc counties received tonight give
McMillin, democrat, an estimated ma
jOrity of $4,000 for governor. These
figures will, however, be reduced by
full returns and it seems tonight that
this majority will be between $4,000
and 10000.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Neb., November 9-Returns
by counties tonight which come with
| provoking slowness, indicate a scaling
| off of republican gains Of last night
and today. making the state ticket in
doubt and so close that official count
may be required. The legislature is
probably republican on joint ballot,
but Senator Allen will not concede it.

900. The legislature will be republican

San Francisco, November 9, p. m
! Less than half of the vote of CalifOr-
mia has been counted, but LII COM
plete precincts out of 2,4O7 give Gage
republican, for governor 9,540 plural
ity. AT this rate his vote will be 90
900 in excess of. Mcguire. 1t is rea-
sonably sure also that the republicans
have carried the rest of the state ticket
with the exception perhaps, of secre-
| tary of state and two judges of the
| supreme court. The vote on these are
! close with the chances in favor of the
| democratic candidates. 1t is certain
