from 1904,
Elections were held Tuesday in
AZ states, and while the results in
number of instances were of unusual
interest, it may be stated that gen.
orally speaking there were no great
surprises.
Throughout the south the Demo-
cratic state and congressional tick
cts have been elected by the usual
malorities. In the west and east
the states that we're aligned two
years ago in the Democratic or Re-
publican columns show no material
change. the Democrats making gains
in some instances and the Republl-
cans In others. The Republicans
retain control of congress by good
majority. Perhaps the widest gen
eral interests in the elections cen.
tered in the remarkable fight for
governor which has been waged
in New York state between Charles
Z. Hughes, the Republican candi-
date, who throughout the campaign,
has had the support of President
Roosevelt, and William Randolph
Hearst, who has been running as
the regular Democratic and Inde-
pendence league candidate. Figures
now available show that Mr.. Hughes,
while losing nearly all principal cl-
ties of the state, was successful by
about 30. 600 plurality. The rural
districts brought about Republican
victory.
Massachusetts has reelected Cur
tbs Guild, Republican, as governor,
over District Attorney John B.
Moran of Boston who was the cam
didate of the Democratic party, the
Independence league and the Pro-
hibitionists.
Pennsylvania elected Stuart, Re-
publican, governor, over the fusion
opposition by the Republican plu-
rality.
Micigan, Iowa, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Connecticut, Indiana
and Wisconsin have rolled up Re-
publican pluralitles, although there
was some falling off from the usual
in Iowa. In Minnesota, Governor
johnson, Democrat, was elected by
the largest majority ever given o.
Democrat in the state.
Nebraska sho WE big Republicans
gains. Ohio also shows Republicans
gains over the Pattison vote of last
year. The Republicans expect
plurality of 5000 in the state.
The constitution of the new state
Of Oklahoma will be written by
Democrats. The Indians voted the
Democratic ticket almost solidly.
Oklahoma also went strongly DEM
ocratic in choosing delegates to the.
constitutional convention.
Governor Hoch is reelected m
Kansas by greatly reduced msjor-
lity. In Missouri the Democratic
party regained some of the congress
sional districts it lost two years ago.

for many years chairman of the
house committee on agriculture at
Washington was defeated in the
Forty -fourah New York district
The republicans carried Montana
Utah, Wyoming, Washington and
Colorado, but lost Nevada.

cratic column by rolling up the
usual big majorities for the demo-
cratic ticket.
| In Rhode Island J X. Higgins,
democrat, was elected governor
JOINT statehood for New Mexico
