The election in Morris county, al
though light vote was polled, result
ed in the Republicans securing ma
jorities for their candidates ranging
from 1900 for George Shaw, the Re
publican candidate for Sheriff, to l 800
for the candidates for Assemblymen.
The difference in the majOrities was
occasioned by the freak vote Of Dover
where with Characteristic loyalty to
home candidates they gave Whitfield
B. Gillen $50 majority, while the Re-
publican Freeholders were elected.
Randolph township, however, usually
Democratic, gave Mr.. Shaw a good
majority. Morristown, Madison, Boon
ton and Butler all gave good major
tiles for the Republican candidates
and the townships went about as
usual, with the exception Of Passaic,
which slumped back into the Demo
cratic column.
There was aspirited contest in Madi-
son. which resulted in the election of
the Republican municipal ticket by a
majority of 100 The Republicans will
now be responsible for the government
of the town, but as the men elected
are of a high character there is no dam
ger of any letting down in the charac-
ter of the public service as their oppo-
nents claimed would be the result.

New York Hearst had plurality In

plurality Hearst has charged fraud in
the voting. Bird s. Coler was elected
borough president of Brooklyn on the
Municipal Ownership ticket. William
7. Jerome, Independent candidate for
district attorney, was reelected by
small plurality. The New York cleo
tion shows that Municipal Ownership
will be considerable factor in the
city's politics. In Ohio the returns to a
late hour indicated the election Of Pat
tison, the Democratic candidate for
governor
City, county and assembly elections
through New York state resulted gem
orally in favor of Republican candi-
dates, except that the majorities were
generally much lower than those of the
Roosevelt tidal wave Of last year. Sew

licans, 81 Democrats and 4 Municipal
Ownership men.

Philadelphia, Nov. S.-The good gov
ernment forces, led by Mayor John
Weaver, won sweeping victory all
along the line, electing their ticket by
a majority estimated at from $4,000 to
10000.
This terrific upheaval was directed at
the Republican organization in Phila-
delphia, which two years ago gave
Matthews for state treasurer 10000
majority.
At 10 O'clock last night the City par
ty headquarters telegraphed Governor
Folk of Missouri "We have swept the
city by 10000 majority"
William H. Berry, Democratic and
fusion candidate for state treasurer,
has carried the city and has been elect
ed.
The vote in Philadelphia was the
heaviest ever cast. Thousands, many
Of them representative business men,
voted for the first time in their lives.
The vote was so Unexpectedly large

had to be supplemented BY soap boxes.

en- election districts missing, indicate
his election by 2,00O
Tammany Hall claims the election
by between 5000 and 10000.
Mr.. Hearst and the Municipal Own
ership managers assert that upward
Of 10000 votes were either Illegally
cast for Mcclellan or Illegally taken
away from them
In view of the closeness of the cleo
tion for mayor it would seem entirely
possible that the Tammany nominee
for president of the board of aldermen,
Mr.. MCGOWAN, has been defeated by
Mr.. Stokes, Municipal Ownership.
William r. Hearst, the nominee Of
the Municipal Ownership party for
mayor, is laying plans for bringing a
contest charging the Illegal voting and
extravagant use of money by Tam
many Hall and asking for a complete
count of the ballots in the city Of New
York by the courts.
There are many questionable circum-
stances in the election. In heavy Tam
many districts Mcclellan has a vote as
heavy as that which he had for mayor
two years ago, and yet 1t is said that
in the actual voting the Tammany
strength was perforated like a sieve all
over the city. The Press (Rep.) in an
editorial calls attention to this and in
sists that Mr.. Hearst should fight.
Even If Mr. Mcclellan should be per
mitted to serve as mayor for the next
four years he has been chosen by a
plurality so small as to make his vic
tory only a personal triumph for him
self IN its moral effect and a practical
defeat for Tammany HAIL.

district attorney after one of the mos
remarkable and dramatic campaigns
In history and in spite of being mixed
up in four cornered fight which gave
him the triple handicap of machine op-
position, treachery in influential circles
and the extreme difficulties Of having
many more than 100000 voters intelli-
gently split their tickets.
The board of aldermen Is probably

whose candidates won by virtue Of be-
ing also lndorsed by the Municipal
Ownership party This has been al
most foregone conclusion ever since
the Republicans stole march ON Tam
many by getting the Endorsements Of
the Independent organization.
Tammany Hall has lost control Of
three of the boroughs IN the city gov
ernment. Coler, the nominee of the
Municipal Ownership party in Kings,
has been elected borough president;
Bermel, the nominee of the Republican
and Municipal Ownership parties in
Queens, has been elected borough presi-
dent. and Cromwell Rep) easily leads
In Richmond against two competitors;

Tammany has only been able to save
two, Ahearn in Manhattan and Haffen

to take steps to boost Vicksburg, with
$4,000 population and 100000 bales
of cotton per year as the incentive. BY
unanimous resolution, joint commit
tee from the two recently formed or
ganizations was appointed to confer.
The committee returned with a unan
