MARYLAND

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. THE election
in Maryland today was for a state comp
troller. legislature and county officers and
In Baltimore for a judge of the supreme
court, sheriff, city clerk and surveyor The
issue which engrossed popular attention
was a proposed constitutional amendment,
the avowed purpose of which was to dis
franchise negro voters, but which aroused
widespread opposition among many demo-
cratic voters. Owing to the extreme
length of the ballot the count has been
slow, and at a late hour tonight the votes
in some of the city precincts and remote
county districts have not been counted.
The returns so far received, however, make
certain the defeat Of the proposed consti-
tutional amendment by a decisive majority
of 1900 or more and very probable the
election OF Mccullough (rep) state comp
troller over Atkinson (dem), and the
election of republicans In three out of
four of the city legislative districts The
republican candidates for sheriff, city
clerk and city surveyor in Baltimore are
also elected Chief Justice Harlan (dem0
is reelected by 10000 majority. The re-
publicans did not nominate candidate
against Judge Harlan. though there was
an independent republican candidate The
political complexion Of the next legisla-
ture is uncertain and will not be known
until the official count has been complete.

MASSACHUSETTS

BOSTON. Nov 7.-Lieutenant Governor
Curtis Guild. jr of Boston, the republican
candidate, was elected governor of Massa-
chussets in the state election today by a
plurality of %, 435 over General Charles w.
Bartlett Of, Boston, the democratic candi-
date.
For the second place on the ticket, for
which there was an unusually warm con-
test. Eben S. Draper of Hopedale, the re-
publican candidate, won over Henry M
Whitney of Brookline, his democratic OPP
ponent and the leading advocate for reci-
procity, by a plurality of 3942.
The total vote for the two leading candi-
dates was:
Governor-Guild Gep), 2OS,s34; Bartlett
(dem.). l74.S99.
Lieutenant Governor-Draper Gep), 1884,
534; Whitney Cdem), 1S0,592
The republicans also elected seven of the
eight members of the executive council
and the usual large majority in both
branches OF the legislature.
The closeness OF the vote for Draper and
Whitney for lieutenant governor was the
| principal feature Of the election. The
democrats made gains in both branches of
! the legislature three members in the SEN
! ate and one in the house. The legislature
Of 1906 will stand follows: Senate-Re-
publicans. 81; democrats o. House - Re

There were several clashes during the
day; several political workers received
slight pistol wounds and large number
including several prominent citizens, were
clubbed or arrested.
Elections were held in the state for 10C

THE BEE MAKES NEW RECORD
co,I..t. aud TabuIates Full Returns
for Douglas County within
Three Hours.

One effect of the voting machine was TO
break a record. For the first time in the
history of the state, perhaps, Douglas
county was the first to report full returns
Side by side with the machine was The
Bee, and long before any of its contempor-
aries were aware of the fact that the polls
had closed The Bee had out an extra, an
nouncing the result in Douglas county, in
New York. Ohio and Pennsylvania Ae-
companying this extra was a table snow
ing the full figures on the important offices
of sheriff and county Judge. in which the
chief local interest was centered The
paper which gave up so much of it's Valu-
able space on Monday to boasting OF its
enterprise and ability appeared a little
while after The Bee with q head line an
nouncing that the republicans had carried
Douglas county--a fact it might have an
nounced on Monday afternoon-but did
not give figure to support its assertion.
! The polls closed at s O'Clock p. M and
a, s;25 the first precinct returns were re-
| ceIved at The Bee office. At 7l5 the COM
| nlete returns for the Fourth ward were
! tabilated; at 7:2O another ward was com
plete. and little before o'clock complete

Men who had been accustomed TO pdtting

when they were given final figures so early

that the voting machine and The Bees ar
rangements for gathering and tabulating
returns worked wonders,
| Chairman Warner was notified at
| o'clock of the result in Douglas. and

message It is new thing in Nebraska

INDIAN TERRITORY

OKLAHOMA CITY. o. T., Nov. IA
summary of news received from the cleo
tion in Indian Territory indicates that the
total vote on the Sequoyah constitution
will not reach 5000 out of a possible $780,
COO In many of the towns polls were not
opened, and in numerous instances the
vote for joint statehood with Oklahoma
far exceeded the vote for the separate
state constitution. The result is an over
whelming Endorsement of Joint statehood
for the two territories. Not 20 per cent
of the voters of Indian Territory have

committee comedies the election Of Letton
and the republican candidates for regents.
He said:
The republican state ticket will be

turns from this county and Douglas and
from out in the state would indicate that

tired by II O'Clock. AS reason for closing

Judse Lktton retired early after being con-
WINGED of his election. He said: 81 feel
very grateful to the people of Nebraska

An Interesting Sermon .

Bishop Kendrick preached a
very interesting sermon in Epi-
phany church Sunday morning
from the text, Believe and be
baptized" According to the
speaker, belief is an individual
feature of Christianity while
baptism is a corporate feature.
To believe Christ when he tells
us what God is and what we
ought to be are the essential
points of belief. Baptism organizes
the Church. Men have been
saved who never heard of Jesus
Christ, but that does not argue
that the Church is an unneces-
sary institution any more than
the fact that a few men have
been self-educated proves that
public schools are unnecessary.
The Church is a place to receive
good and to do good.

less prove to be encouraging to

Another feature has been added
to the twenty-fifth annual terri
torial fair. This time Secretary
d. X. B. Sellers has come to the
front with plans for competitive
fleece exhibit. The shearing
season is now on and it is Col.
Sellers plan to have every sheep
man in New Mexico and Arizona
save his best fleece and send it to
Albuquerque to be placed on
exhibition at the fair.
The fair management has
already received assurances that
many sheep men of the middle
west will send their finest bucks
to the fair to be placed on eXhibi-
ton. Quarters at the park will
be furnished free Of charge by
the Albuquerque Traction COM
pany. The bringing of fine bred
bucks here will give the sheep
men throughout New Mexico and
Arizona an opportunity to buy
some good stock and grade up
their herds.
The great advertising feature
Of this exhibition should be an
incentive to stock men generally
to bring their best ileeces to
Albuquerque on that date.
