Willmar tribune., 1902-11-12

United States senators by the people
are very meager. In many counties
those ballots have ot.yet been count
ed. It is certain, however, that there
is an overwhelming majority, proba-
bly, more than a three-fourths majority
for the affirmative on all three ques-
tions. -; . .,.s>-.. %sz.as =.
%sDes Moines, Ia, Nov. 6.--Fuller re-
turns place: the republican plurality
for the state ticket in Iowa little
above 10000. The plurality of p. B.
B1rdsaH. who will succeed Speaker
Henderson from the Third district, is
5,255. and that of NJ. J. Wade, in the
Second district, the only democratic
congressman elected. 1.140.
T. Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 6.-Belated
returns increase Gov. LaFo1lette's
plurality in the state. The latest es-
innate brings his figures up to $4,000.
AS near as can be figured out the next
legislature will be made up about as
follows: Assembly, Is republicans
and rs democrats; senate, 81 repub-
lcans and two democrats.
Ohis.
Columbus, O., Nov. 6.-Chairman
Dick. Of the republican state. head
quarters, late Wednesday had COM
plete returns from Sc of the ss Ohio
counties, showing republican plu-
rality for state candidates of 9O,8O7.
The two counties not heard from are
Putnam and Noble. The former gave
a. democratic plurality of 1,451 and the
latter republican plurality of ISL last
year. Deducting this difference OF
700 he estimates the republican plu-
rality in Ohio at 90, 0,1o7, but he expects
both Putnam and Noble county to
show republican gains, and that the
official vote will exceed these figures.
Although II counties have not re-
turned their total vote it is estimated
as close to 100000.
Michigan.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 6.-Newspaper
tabulations of election returns at mid
night indicate that the plurality of
Gov. Bliss will run up to 36,975, his
vote being 51,693, as against 14,71s for
L. I. Durand, the democratic candi-
date for governor. That Bliss was
ruthlessly cut is shown by the fact
that the plurality of Judge w. L. Car
penter. republican candidate for JUS
tice of the supreme court, amounts to
59,s16. The state legislature will have
exactly the same complexion as it's
predecessor, one democrat among the
30 senators and ten democrats out of
100 members in the house of repre-
sentatives.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 6.-Neither
the republican state committee nor
the democratic state committee has
complete figures on the result of the
state ticket. Chairman Goodrich, of
the republicans, says the plurality on
the state ticket will be 10000 to IS, 900,
while Secretary Reilly, of the demo-
cratic state committee, has conceded
the election of the republican state
ticket by $4,000. The republicans ex-
pect to have 100 members of the $50 in
the general assembly. Secretary
Whitaker, of the republican state
committee, to-day claimed the election
of Ga members of the lower branch of
the legislature and IS members of the
senate. According to this the repub-
icans, with their 10 holdover senators,
will have SO of the $50 members of the
two branches, majority of 80 on joint
ballot. It was stated, however, that it
will require an official count in some
districts, so this estimate probably
will have to be revised. The Indiana
delegation in congress will be un-
changed politically, consisting of nine
republicans and four democrats. The
republican majority in the state legis-
lature will be 50 large as to be almost
unwieldy. The reelection of Charles
w. Fairbanks as United States senator
will be the chief business before the
general assembly.
Minnesota.
St. Paul, Nov. 6.-With the receipt of
more nearly complete returns, the
majority of Gov. Van SAINT assumes
tremendous proportions. It is at least
$4,000, and may go as high as 75,00o-
record-breaking majority in Mime
sofa for gubernatorial candidate.
The governor has, apparently, run
considerably ahead of the balance of
the state ticket, although the entire
ticket is elected by about the normal
majority. Eight of the nine congress-
men are republicans, the lone demo
crat being ex-Gov. John Lind, who
succeeded in defeating Loren Fletcher
in the Hennepin county district. The
republicans also made substantial
gains in the legislature, although it
is too early to give the complete fig
ures as to party division.
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-Returns at
republican state headquarters show
that the republicans have elected five
of the six congressman in Nebraska.
The Second district. in which Omaha
is situated, is the only one carried by
the fusionists, Hitchcock defeating
Mercer. 1t is now. claimed and almost
certain, that Mickey (rep.) is elected
governor by about 1000. He ran be.
hind his ticket. The entire republican
state ticket is elected. The next legis.
lature will be strongly republican.
Kansas.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 6.-The repub.
lican victory in Kansas is complete
A good majority of the legislature
all the state officers and a large part
of the county officers were taken by
the republicans. Chairman Albaugh
