SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS
No Decided Change in the AIIiEn-
ment of Eastern and western
States.

Elections were held yesterday in forty
two states, and while the results in a num-
Der Of instances were of unusual interest,
1t may be said, generally speaking, there
were no great surprises. Throughout the
south the democratic state and congress
sional 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 columns. show
no material change, the democrats making
gains in some instances and the republi-
cans in others The republicans retain con-
troll Of congress by a good majority
Perhaps the widest general interest in the
elections centered in the remarkable fight
for governor, which has been waged in
New York state between Charles E. Hughes,
the republican candidate who throughout
the campaign has had the support of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and William Randolph
Hearst, who has been running as the regu-
lar democratic and 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 $1,000 plurality The
rural districts brought tbout the republi-
can victory
In New York City the famous TAmmany-
Independence league judiciary ticket was
successful, with possibly one exception
over the candidates named by the nonparti-
san judiciary nominators"
Massachusetts has reelected Curtis
Guild Crep.) as governor over District At
torney John, b. Moran of Boston, who. was
the candidate of the democratic party, In
dependence league and the prohibitionists
In Chicago it is estimated that the In
dependence league ticket polled 10000, but
there was a heavy republican plurality for
the state officers.
Pennsylvania elected Stuart .Crep0 gov
ernor over a fusion opposition by the usual
republican plurality.
Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire, North
Dakota, Connecticut, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin have rolled up republican pluralities,
although there was some falling off I'm the
usual vote in Iowa. In Minnesota Governor
Johrs (dem) was reelected by the
largest majority ever given a democrat in
the state
Nebraska shows big republican gains
Ohio also shows republican gains over the
Pattison vote of last year. The republl-
cans expect a plurality of 75.OO0 in the
state. The constitution of the new state
Of Oklahoma will be written by demo-
Gratis. The Indians voted the democratic
ticket almost solidly. Oklahoma also went
strongly democratic in choosing delegates
TO the constitutional convention Governor
Hoch, is reelected in Kansas by slightly
reduced majority
The result I'm Missouri was I'm doubt at
. late hour, the democrats expecting to
gain some of the congressional districts
they lost two years ago. Congressman
Nicholas Longworth was reelected in Gin
clnnau.

Instructions on how to operate the machine
was all that was necessary.
In most OF the precincts where trouble
was had with the machines it was due to
the fact the machine was moved from the
place where It had been set by the SUPER
intendent and had not been leveled. The
mechanism is 80 delicate the machine has
to be perfectly level or 1t will not work
well. In the First Of the Tenth the board
forgot to break the seal that locks the
curtain lever and the first voter pulled the
lever with force enough to unseal it, The
handle OF the lever was sprung slightly
and had to be fixed, but nothing serious
resulted. Only a few of the country pre-

Lee,a AnRWer.

Early in the war between the states, before General Lee had demonstrated his pre-eminence as the southern lead CT. he was severely criticised on more than one occasion by certain General Whiting. Whiting had stood at the head of his class at West Point and was considered not only by himself, but by others, as very bright and capable man. One day President Da- wis, wishing an officer for some highly important command, called upon Gen. eral Lee for advice.
 What do you think of Whiting?' asked Davis.
 Lee answered without hesitation, commenting Whiting as one of the ablest men in the army, we'll qualified in every way for even the most re- sponsible position. One of the officers present was greatly surprised and at the first opportunity drew Lee aside.
 Don't you know what unkind things Whiting has been saying about you?'' he inquired.
 Lees answer was of the best.
 II understood" he said, 'that the president desired to know my opinion of Whiting, not Writings opinion of me"
