SUMMARY Of THE RESULTS
eLEcTloN RESULTS FROM THE
COUNTRY OVER.
ooMPERs' FIGHT is IN VAIN
Speaker Cannon and Representative
Mudd Of Maryland Returned to Con-
sress In Spite Of the Opposition Of
the Federation of Labor.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Elections
were held yesterday in forty-two
states, and while the results in a num-
der of instances were OF unusual inter
est, it may be said, generally speak
ing, there were no great surprises.
Throughout the south the Democratic
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 columns
show no material change, the Demo
Gratis making gains In some instances
and the Republicans In others. The
Republicans retain control of congress
by a good majority.
The indications are that the fight OF
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, against Congress
man Mudd in Maryland, was unavail-
ing. Mr.. Mudd's election Is declared.
Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon OF the
Eighteenth Illinois district was elect
ed to congress for the seventeenth
time, his majority remaining where 1t
has been for years, approximately
$500.
Perhaps the widest general interest
in the elections centered in the re-
markable fight for governor which had
been waged in New York state be-
tween Charles T.. Hughes, the Repub-
lican candidate, who throughout the
campaign had the support OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and William Randolph
Hearst, who has been running as the
regular Democratic and Independent
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
80, 200, plurality. The rural districts
brought about the Republican victory.
In New York city, the Tammany-ln-
dependence league judiciary ticket
was successful, with possibly one ex-
ception, over the candidates named
by the non-partisan Judiciary Nomi'
majors.
Massachusetts, has reelected Curtis
Guild (Rep.) as governor.
In Chicago, it Is estimated that the
independence league ticket polled 40,
IOO0, but there was a heavy Republican
plurality for the state officers.
Pennsylvania elected Stuart (Rep.)
for governor, over a fusion opposition
by the usual Republican plurality.
Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Mich
gan, North Dakota, Indiana and Con
necticut have rolled up Republican
pluralities.
In Minnesota, Governor johnson
(Dem.) was reelected by the larges
majority ever given a Democrat in tn
state.
Nebraska shows big Republican
gains. Ohio also shows Republican
gains over the Pattison vote OF las
year. The Republicans expect a plu
rality of $4,000 in the state.
The constitution OF the new stat
OF Oklahoma will be written by Den
ocrats. Joint statehood for New Me-
leo and Arizona is defeated in AT
n which defeats the proposition
Governor Hoch is reelected in Kar
q by a slightly reduced majority.
The result in Missouri was in dout
at a late hour, the Democrats expec
Ding to gain some of the congressions
districts they lost two years ago.
Congressman Nicholas Longwort
was reelected in Cincinnati.

Wyoming and Washington and seei
