The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-11-05

DEMOCRATS SWEEP THE STATE,
ELECTING THEIR ENTIRE
STATE TICKET.
Gsrrett County. However Is Saved. The
Legislature Will BE Strongly Demo
cratic In Both Branches, Thus En-
surfing the Election of a Democratic
United Statos senator.

The result of the election in Garrett
county was highly satisfactory to the
local, Republican candidates, every
one of whom being elected by hand
some'majorities.
In every district of the county
great numbers of ballots were spoileC
in the marking and of course throw
out. The spoiled ballots being var
iouslv estimated from Is to % PEI
cent.
The fight on the local ticket was
centered by the Democrats against
Mr.. Palmer for the Senate and Mr
Thayer for States Attorney. These
gentlemen, however, were elected 10y
nearly four hundred majority not.
withstanding the questionable meth
DDS used by their opponents TO defeat
them.
The official returns were canvassed
at noon today by the Board of Super
visors of Elections, the result being
published in tabular form in this i'm
preston of The Republican.
In the State, the Democratic can
didates were successful, Wartield
being elected by a majority OF more
than ten thousand.
From the Baltimore News of last
night the following, bearing upon the
result of the election, is taken:
"Warfield's plurality in the counties
is about 1000 though returns are com
ing in with a slowness that indicates
even more trouble in counting the
ballots there than in Baltimore city.
This makes a definite statement of
the result impossible at the present
moment, but it is probable that the
Democrats will have 10 members OF
the State Senate and the Republicans
s, while the House will stand 6S Dem
ocrats and SO Republicans. No pos
sible change in the latter returns can
prevent the Democrats having a big
working majority in both branches
of the Legislature, while their ma
jority on joint ballot will be nearly 90.
1.-The Republican candidates, Keedy
and Henderson, haYe been elected as
Judges in the Fourth Judicial Cir
cult.
'Mr. Warfeld carried his own coun-
ty, Howard, by 800 votes, and his OPP
ponent's county, Hartford, by the
usual Democratic plurality. Mr.. Will
iams polled good many Democratic
votes in Hartford, but they were off
set by number of Republican votes
cast for Mr.. Warfeld by Republicans,
who were displeased with Mr.. Will
ltams' action in advocating the rural
free-delivery service.
"Baltimore.county gave plurality
of 900 to Warfield, but the opposition
to Talbot manifested itself by reduc-
ing majorities for candidates on the
county ticket.
Anne Arundel county surprised
even the most sanguine Democrats
by giving a plurality of over 500 votes
for Warfeld. Garrett county, on the
other hand, gave a greater Republi-
can majority than the supporters or
Williams had looked for, increasing
their predicted 600 to 800.
From all sections come reports of
the great number of ballots rejected,
it being not improbable that one
third of the total vote will be thrown
out in many counties"
The Republican Judicial candid
ates, Hon. r. r. Henderson and Hon.
NJ. L. Keedy, defeated the Democra-
tic nominees, Judges Williams and
Witzenbacher, by 534 and 1867 votes
respectively.
