Des Moines, Ia, Nov. s.-Returns
from All precincts, or about one-fifth
of the state, show that Governor
Shaw, republican, received 53,5s7;
White, democrat, 1852. The same
precincts two years ago gave Shaw
51,o45. White 4l,974; net republican
gain, 6,oo4, or n little more than IA to
the precinct. The same ratio, if kept
up, will give Shaw a plurality OF
about 10000. Chairman Weaver claims
Shaw's election by 65,oco.
AT 10 o'clock General Weaver, of the
republican state central committee,
claimed the state by more than $4,000
majority, making this as his most
conservative estimate.
Governor Shaw says that the state
will give him a arge gain, but he de-
clincs to make figures so early.
Chairman Hpffman, of the demo-
cratic committee, conceded the state
at the same hour to be 10000 republics
an. C. A. Walsh, member of the dem
ocratic national committee for Iowa,
said:
"rhe corpse isn't expected to preach
the funeral Sermon
Two hundred precincts, complete,
show Shaw to have made a gain of
1,450. This rate carried throughout
the 2,0s6 precincts of the state would
give Shaw just about $4,000 plurality
over White. This, however, will prob
ably be increased as returns are
made more complete. The frstt re-
turns come from cities and everything
Indicates that the rural precincts will
give much larger gains than the cities.
Republicans estimate that they will
elect about seventy of the 100 mem
bers of the lower house, n gain of
eight owe their membership of the
last house, and that they will have
forty of the fifty members of the SEN
ate, a gain of two for the republicans.
