New Haveh, My 9.-The republican pluralities~dn ConHecHcut for the na- tional and state tickets are like tidal wave, far exceeding anything that has ever before been experienced in Con- necticut general election. Revised re- turns from every city and town in the state show that President Roosevelt Ihad a plurality of 3S,197, while four years ago Mckinley defeated Bryan at the high water mark of 2S,55S. Lieutenant Governor Henry Roberts, who was the republican candidate for governor. although badly scratched in the cities, led Judge A. Heaton Robert son, his opponent, by 25,971, phenom- enal vote for a state officer, as Cover nor Chamberlain, although very popu- lar, only carried the state two years ago by 16,OOS. Congressman Lilley shared in the flood of ballots by getting a plurality of 32.694 over William Kennedy of Naugatuck, formerly one of the Bryan leaders in the state. MT Iilley's plurality two years ago over Homer s. Cummings was 13.O77. The four repL blican congressman, Henry in the first district, Sperry in the second, IiBrandegee in the third and Hill in the fourth, each had pluralities which the most confident never expected to see. The republicans swept the legislature capturing 30 of the seats in the upper house to by the democrats, and in the lower branch getting 215 seats, with 3S taken by the democrats and ? seats tied. The house last year stood 187 re- publicans to 6S defnocrats. Of the members of the legislature elected an estimated one-third were pledged 1n caucus to support Morgan G. Bulkeley for United States senator. MT Fessen- den of Stamford, who was elected q senator, also has many pledged mem bers
 An analysis of the vote for president and governor is of interest. Roosevelt carried 26 towns in Hartford county, one less than Mckinley did, while he carried all but two in Holland county, which is one better than McKinley's vote. Roosevelt carried Hartford city by 1470 plurality, while Roberts lost it by 1876, a notable upset in the vote. This same condition was repeated in New Britain, where Roosevelt won out by margin of 1856 and Roberts lost 1t by 9S7 Mckinley easily carried both cities. Both Congressmen Lilley and Henry carried Hartford by liberal mar gins. Tn Holland county, both Roose- welt and Roberts ran better than in the elections of Mckinley and Chamber lain. Tn New Haven county every re- publican candidate on the state and national tickets carried the cities, Roosevelt's margin in New Haven be- ing 3s5R and Roberts 17S7. Tn Water bury Roosevelt won out by 1852 votes and Roberts by 1909. while Congress man Lilley only had 96S for a compari- son. Tn this county the interesting fea- lure was the capture of Naugatuck by the republicans for the first time in many, years, although MT Kennedy held it by bare 65 votes margin, when the average republican plurality was about 15O. Tn New Haven county Congressman Sperry was well remem- bered although he was convalescent at his home and had not been out of late to look after his fences. He got near ly 5000 in additional plurality this year. Tn New London county all the republicans got more big margin, Nor wich and New London going over Whelmingly that way.
