REPUBLICANS TO CONTROL.
Sixtieth Congress Will Be Theirs by
large Majority.

New York, Nov. 7.-Elections were
held Tuesday in AZ states, and while
the results in a number of instances
were of unusual 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
majorities. In the west and east the
states that were aligned two years ago
In the democratic or republican COL
umns show no material change, the
democrats making gains in some in
stances and the republicans in others.
The republicans retain control of
congress by a good majority. Per-
haps the widest general interest in
the elections centered in the remark
able fight for governor which has been
waged in New York state between
Charles E. Hughes, the republican
candidate, who throughout the cam
paign has had the support of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and William Randolph
Hearst, who has been running as the
~S'it'A bNAICNl tltlC anu independence
league nominee. The latest returns
available show that Mr.. Hughes. while
losing nearly all of the principal cities
OF the state, was successful by about
$4,000 plurality. The rural districts

Massachusetts has reelected Curtis
Guild. republican, as governor over
District Attorney John b. Morgan of
Boston, who was the candidate of the
democratic party, the independence
league and the prohibitionists.
In Chicago it is estimated that the
independence league ticket polled 40
600, but there was a heavy republican
plurality for the state officers.
Pennsylvania has elected Stuart re-
publican, governor, over fusion op-
position by the usual republican
plurality.
Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Connecticut Indiana
and Wisconsin have rolled up republi-
can pluralities, although there was
some falling off from the usual vote
in Iowa. In Minnesota Governor John
son, democrat, was reelected by the
largest majority ever given democrat
in the state.
Nebraska 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 dem
ocrats. The Indians voted the demo
cratic ticket almost solidly. Oklahoma
also went strongly democratic in
choosing delegates to the constitu-
tional convention.
Governor Hoch may be defeated in
Kansas by w. A. Harris.
The result in Missouri was in doubt
at late hour The democrats re.
gained some of the congressional dis
tricts they lost two years ago.
That the republican party will have
complete control of the sixtieth con-
gross is indicated by election returns.
In California.
San Francisco.-From meager re-
turns received from various sections
of the state P. M. Gillett, republican,
for governor, is probably elected by
about 10000 majority. with Bell, demo
crat and union labor, second, and
Langdon, independence league, third.
San Francisco, which was expected to
give Bell big vote, will probably give
Gillett about 1000 majority, while in
Los Angeles, normally a heavy repub-
lican city, the vote between Gillett and
Bell was comparatively close.
