Il RYING HIS STATE. kt.

St Paul. Nov l0.-While returns
from the election of Tuesday are far
from complete, they show beyond rea
sonable doubt that John A. Johnson,
Democratic candidate for governor,
has defeated r. c. Dunn, his Repub
lican opponent.
Just what Mr. JohnCon's plurality
will be is still matter of speculation,
his friends placing it as high as 90,
600 and the Republicans claiming
that it will hardly exceed 5000, if in
deed, he is elected.
Just at present Mr.. Johnson is over
10000 in the lead and the recent re-
turns, while changing the earlier
figures somewhat, do not materially
affect the result, and Mr.. Johnson may
maintain his lead or even increase it
slightly. While the Republican man
ayers do not concede Johnson's cleo
ton, they do not give any figures for
Dunn, but merely claim that later re-
turns will cut down Johnson's lead and
elect Dunn.
The rest of the Republican state
ticket is probably elected.
Tie legislature, which will elect a
successor to Senator Moses z. Clapp
is strongly Republican, and all the
congressional districts elected Repub-
hcans to congress.
President Roosevelt is estimated to
have CARRIED the state by about 1885,
600 plurality.
The nayorality contest in Minneap-
oils is in doubt, Jones, Rep, leading
Haynes, Dem, by 211 votes.

M'kINLEYS PLURALITY IN 1896
EXCEEDED BY OVER SIX HUN.
DRED THOUSAND.
SOLID SOUTH Is DISRUPTED
MISSOURI CONTRIBUTES HER
ELECTORAL VOTES TO Re-
PUBLICAN COLUMN.

New York, Nov. 10.-With a record
breaking popular plurality of more
than 100000, President Roosevelt
now seems assured of the electoral
votes of Missouri and Maryland, max
ing a total of 343 as against 1913 for
Alton b. Parker. The nearest ap-
proach to this vote was in 1896, when
Mckinley received a plurality ap-
proximatirg $4,000, and in 1872,
when Grant received 762,991 plurality
Grant exceeded in electoral record in
defeating Horace Greeley.
The interest now centers in Nilsson
ri and Maryland. Late returns indl-
cate that Missouri is in the Republi-
can column by some 5000 plurality
so far as presidential electors are con
cerned but that Joseph w. Folk,
Democratic candidate for governor,
has been elected. In Maryland the
presidential vote will likely be cast
for President Roosevelt. In other
states. pluralities continue to grow
larger, Pennsylvania giving almost
500 900 and Ohio 100000 plurality. The
"solid South" was broken by the de-
lection of Missouri, and some Republi'
cans in the South hold the opinion
that the solid South henceforth will
exist in history alone.
The banner state for Roosevelt is
Pennsylvania, with from 4S5,000 to
100000 plurality New York gave the
president approximately $4,000 votes
more than it did Parker. New York
city returns are still incomplete, but
the amazement over the result has not
subsidized Parker carried Greater
New York by 35,999 votes.
Illinois won second place in the
stampede to Roosevelt by giving Re-
publican plurality of more than 292,-
600. Chicago also won second place,
next to Philadelphia, by giving 10S,-
600 plurality.
Ran Ahead in Many States.
President Roosevelt ran ahead of
his ticket in many states, notably in
Massachusetts, where he secured a
plurality of $4,000 votes, while the
Republican candidate for governor
was defeated by $4,000.
In Nebraska the definite announce
ment that the Legislature is Republi-
can disposes of the statement that
William j. Bryan had aspirations for
a United States senatorship. In
that state, too, the governorship is i'll
doubt.
In Minnesota, where Roosevelt Sc
cured $4,000 plurality, Democratic
governor and q Republican lieutenant
governor were probably elected. The
election of Democratic governor is
the second in the history of the state.
Chairman Babcock of the Republi-
can congressional committee has been
returned to congress from Wisconsin
by a greatly reduced plurality, but
Chairman Cowherd of the Democratic
congressional committee was defeat
ed in Missouri. where the Republicans
now have eight congressman instead
of one. Roosevelt has carried Colo
RADIO by probably $4,000, but the gov
ernorship is still in doubt.

ralities in the various states; also the
electoral votes of the opposing candi-
dates:

LAFOLLETTE CHOSEN
CARRIES WISCONSIN FOR GOV.
ERNOR BY AT LEAST FIFTY
THOUSAND.

Milwaukee, Nov. 10.-The result Of
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket
and carried the state by plurality
estimated at between $4,000 and U.s.
600; that Governor Lafollette has been
reelected by plurality of about So
600 and that the congressional COM
plexion remains unchanged from two
years ago. The legislature, which is
to elect United States senator to
succeed Joseph V. Quarles, is largely
Republican and the question of
whether Wisconsin shall have a pri-
mary election law has carried by a
safe majority. One of the surprises
in the election was the big increases
in the vote of the Social Democratic
party. Four years ago that party
polled 4,45S votes in Milwaukee coun-
ty; two years ago I0,704 and in this
election 1920. The Social Demo
Gratis elected four assemblymen and
one senator to the legislature.
In the legislature, Chairman w. D.
Connor of the Lafollette state cen
trail committee claims there will be
eighty members, a majority in each
house, pledged to carry out the meas
ures advocated by Governor Lafol-
lette. Chairman Goldin of the Stall
wart Republican faction claims that
the StalwartS and Democrats combined
will control majority of each house
and he predicts that if United States
Senator Quarles is not reelected that
the legislature will probably find itself
In a deadlock.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the
election was the narrow margin on
which Congressman J. w. Babcock
pulled through his plurality of 5000
two years ago being cut to about 300
this year.
Revised returns to the Milwaukee
Sentinel up to / o'clock Thursday
morning give Roosevelt an estimated
plurality in Wisconsin of 10000.

LITTLE CHANGE IN NEW YORK
Late Returns Do Not Materially AZ
feet Result

New York, Nov 10.-Late returns
from all parts of New York do not
materially affect the earlier figures
given out. The legislature will have
102 Republican assemblymen out of
$50 and 80 Republican senators out
of 80.
New York city returns show that
Parker carried Greater New York
with one election district missing, by
35,999 votes. Brooklyn was carried
by President Roosevelt by 1906 votes.
Herrick, Dem. for governor, carried
Greater New York, with one election
district missing, by S0,625 votes, and
Brooklyn by 5,404.
The returns from counties outside
the city show that Parker carried 4
OF the 81 counties in the state while
Herrick carried counties. The re-
turns from the whole state show that
Roosevelt has approximately $4,000
plurality and that Higgins, Rep, for
governor, has $4,000 plurality.

Columbus, o., Nov. 10.-Almost COM
plete unofficial returns indicate that
the Republican plurality in Ohio is
between 100000 and 215,000, or three
times the plurality this state ever
gave any national ticket. About a
dozen counties have been carried by
the Republicans for the first time.
The Republicans gained three con-
gressmen by carrying all OF the con-
gressional districts except the Fourth,
in which Harvey c. CARRIER was re-
elected by 1000, or less than one
third the usual Democratic plurality.
The largest Republican gains came
from the mining and laboring regions,
although all of the SO counties showed
Republican gains, except Pike coun-
ty, which had a Democratic gain of &c.

says an electrical exchange, an inno-
vation in the construction of posts by
which the set screw or set nut is done
away with and the wire is held by the
action of a spring is illustrated by the
accompanying picture. 1t is claimed
for this construction that the wire can
not work or jar loose and that the con-
tact is always insured because Of the
constant pressure exerted by the
spring. 1t is estimated that the wire
can be connected or disconnected in
one-tenth the time it takes to set
screw post, and the makers say as an
advantage that there is no possibility
of the wire being broken off by the
process of binding.
