Washingto q, Nov. 9-Returns from
all states holding elections have been
received, with the same results gener-
ally as in the presidential election,
though majorities were often reduced
From the results neither party can
claim any decided gains from a ma
tional standpoint. Small gains were |
made by the Republicans in Kansas
and South Dakota, which places both
states in the Republican column. In
Kentucky Goebel's defeat can not be
taken as a Republican gain, because
the election turned on local issues and |
the unpopularity Of the Democratic
candidate.
In Republican states the majorities
are not SO great as they were two
years ago. but compare favcrably with
those of four years ago. The same is
true of Democratic strongholds, the
explanation being, probably, that the
full vote is not gotten out.

plurality of from 80, 900 to 90, 900.
Kansas gave a Republican majority,
electing a majority of the county
officers There was no state ticket.

In New York City. Tammany de-
feated Mazet, who has been prime
mover IN the investigations into Tam
many methods, and chairman of the
investigation committee, for the legis
lature.
Mayor Jones of Toledo, who was
running on municipal reform ticket,
received a good vote, drawing from
both sides. Regarding the result, he
said: The result of the election is ex-
,remely gratifying to me, as it must be
to every lover of liberty. The vote for
the non partisan IDEA is large enough
to justify the claim that the cause has
won the greatest victory ever recorded
in the political history of the state.
Il believe that the moral force will
cause the legislature to pass the munic-
ipal code commission bill, which pro-
vides that every municipal officer In
Ohio shall be elected by the non-parti'
, san plan, doing away entirely with
political parties in all our cities. Fur
thermore, the vote Of the non-partisar
idea will have it's influence in shaping
, issues next year. There will be more
of morals in the national platforms by
. the reason of it. l am thankful thai
the non-partisan vote of Ohio may b
recorded as favoring Christian polio,
toward the Philippines"

, publicans and anti-Goebelites, w. s

governor of Kentucky by majorit.
