Falling Ofin Socialist Vote Is the Feature

Boston, Nov. with the exception
Of the falling off in the socialist vote,
the election in Massachusetts very
nearly paralleled that of last year.
Governor John L. Bates was RET lected
by the Republicans by plurality Of
$3.50 over Colonel William A. CASTOR
in total vote of only slightly under
that of 1902, when Bates won by 37,12O
plurality.
The vote for the leading candidates
was: Bates, 199,393; CASTOR, 1854;
both gaining about 1900 over last year,
but as the Socialists dropped from 3d.
629 to little more than $4,000 and
that for the Prohibition and Socialist
Labor candidates remained about the
same, the total vote for all candidates
fell just short of that Of last year, the
largest in the history of the state.
The senate next year will stand
thirty-one Republicans and nine Demo.

eighty-two Democrats and one Social
list, with two ties to be decided.
In addition to suffering loss Of
several thousand votes for their lead
ing candidate, the Socialists also had
two of their three seats in the house
taken away from them by the Repub-
leans, but as they polled more than
25,O00 votes, they maintained place
on the official ballot.
