RESULT OF ELECTIONS
IN FORTY-TWO STATES
New York, Pennsylvania and Massa-
shusetts Remain In Republican
Column--Democrat Have Usual
Malorltles In South.

Elections were held tuesday In for.
ty-two states, and while the results in
a number of instances were of I'm.
usual interest, It may be said that
generally speaking, there were no
great surprises.
Throughout the south the Demo-
cratic state and congressional tickets
have been elected by the usual ma.
joritles. In the west and east the
states that were aligned two years
ago In the Democratic or Republican
columns show no material change, the
Democrats making gains in some In.
stances and the Republicans retain
control of congress by a good ma.
jority.
Perhaps the widest general interest
in the elections centered in the re-
markable fight for governor which has
been waged in New York state be-
tween Charles e. Hughes, the Repub.
lican candidate, who throughout the
campaign has had the support Of
President Roosevelt, and William
Randolph Hearst, who has been run
ming as the regular Democratic and
Independence League nominee. Mr..
Hughes, while losing nearly all of the
principal cities of the state, was sue
cessful by about 10000 plurality. The
rural districts brought about the Re-
publican victory.
In New York City, the Tammany
Hall-Independence League judiciary
ticket was successful, with possibly
one exception, over the candidates
named by the non-partisan judiciary
nominators."
Massachusetts has reelected Curtis
Guild, Republican, as governor over
District Attorney John b. Moran of
Boston, who was the candidate of the
Democratic party, the independence
League and the Prohibitionists.
In Chicago the independence
League ticket polled 10000 votes, but
there was a heavy Republican plu.
rality for the state officers.
Pennsylvania has elected Stuart,
Republican. governor over a fusion
opposition by the usual Republican
plurality.
Michigan, Iowa. New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Connecticut, Indiana
and Wisconsin have rolled up Repub-
publican pluralities, although there
was some falling off from the usual
vote in Iowa. In Minnesota, Governor
johnson. Democrat, was reelected by
the largest majority ever given a
Democrat in the state.
-sNebraslxa shows big Republican
gains Ohio also shows Republican
gains over the Pattison vote OF last
year. The Republicans expect a plu-
rality OF $4,000 in the state.
The constitution of the new state OF
Oklahoma will be written by Demo
Gratis. The Indians voted the Demo
cratic ticket almost solldly. Okla.
homa also went strongly Democratic
in choosing delegates to the constitu'
tional convention.

ed in Kansas by greatly reduced ma
jority.
