A tremendous vote was cast throughout
the state, due in part to the exceedingly
active campaign conducted by both part les
and also 10 the fine weat her that prevailed
every~ here. The Democratic leaders had
no hopes of winning in the election and
Chairman McNary, of the Democratic
State Committee. said he would be sat s.ied
II the plurality of Mr. Bates was cut down
TO about 10000.
In Boston the size of the vote cast was
due in some measure TO the vigorous cam

OF the local option law in the matter Of

are that the No vote has won easily On
this question
The Democrats have gained one Con-
gresham, John A sullivan, defeating
Eugene y FosS, the RepuI liCan candidate
III the new Eleventh district. This district
was mapped out 10y the Legislature as
being strongly Republican, but MIR sullivan
won because of his Personal popularity.
Twice he was elected to the State Senaje
from a district previously Republican,
now included IN the new Congress distI let,
and his victory causes no surprise among
those familiar with the conditions
In the Ninth district Congressman Con-
roy appears to have been re alected by a
narrow margin over John A, kelliher,
Democrat and Charles I. WITT Republican.
Mr. Conroy, Mr.. kelliher and Joseph A
Dennison were rivals for the Democratic
nomination in this district. but the con-
ventlon resulted in a deadlock and all three
filed nomination papers. Subsequently Mr..
Dennlson withdrew, leaving krlliher and
Conroy to fight il out and they did so up
10 the hour OF going 10 the polls in true
Democratic style
Slm Roads made a strong fight against
Capt. Gardner in the Sixth district Twelve
OF the twenty-siN cities and towns gave
Gardner S,l32 and Roads :, ,757. The cities Of
Gloucester and Haverhill. which last year
gave Republican plurahties. are still to
be heard from, but the ratio Of gain made
by Roads in the cities ard towns reported
indicates that the district viii he for Gard
ner by close margin. Cot Butler Ame~
appears TO have won from John A. Sparks,
the Democratic candidate in the Fifth
district, by a plurality Of about 10000,
Reports from Worcester indicate the re-
election of Congressman Ihlycr.
