10000 over John A. Aylward, the Dem

Boston, Nov. THE Republicans
were victors in the state election,
Governor Guild being reelected by a
considerably increased plurality over
last year, while his opponent. District
Attorney John B. Moran Of Boston,
the candidate of the Democratic and

larger vote than that given the Dem

The Massachusetts delegation to con-
gress will remain practically the
same.
The outcome of the election was a
considerable disappointment to Mr..
Moran and his fellow campaigners, e.
Gerry Brown of Brockton, candidate
for lieutenant governor and George
Fred Williams of Dedham. The Moran
campaign was handicapped by lack OF
organization, meager campaign fund
and opposition from a large number
of former leaders The vote came
from the wage earners principally, as
was shown by the strong Endorsement
given the Suffolk county district attor'
ney in nearly all the mill cities and
other industrial centers.

STUART WINS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Republican Candidate Elected Gov.
ernor by Over 100000 Plurality.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-THE most ex-
twenty-five years has ended in a tri"
umph for Edwin S. Stuart (Rep), for
governor, over Lewis Emery, Jr.,
(Dem. and Ilacoln party) by plural
ity that the Republican leaders claim
will reach 100000. Aside from the
contest for governor and other state
officers, the chief interest centered in
the battle in Philadelphia for district
attorney and in few of the congress
sional districts. Members of the
house of representatives and county
officers were elected in every county
and state senators were chosen in
twenty-five of the fifty districts. Sam
uel P. Rotan (Rep.) was elected dis
trict attorney in Philadelphia by a
vote which his friends claim will ex-
ceed 10000, defeating D. Clarence Glib
honey, who had the support of the re-
form forces and the Democrats.
The incoming legislature will be
strongly Republican, although not so
overwhelmingly for that party as 1t
was two years ago.
One Of the chief issues in the state
campaign was the new capitol, which
was dedicated Oct. 4. The fusionists
claimed that several million dollars of
overcharges and Implications are rep
resented in furnishing and equipping
the building. The Republican candi-
dates pledged themselves, If elected.
to investigate honestly these charges
and to place the responsibility for the
alleged extravaganza where it right
fully belonged.
OF the congressional contests, the
hottest was that against John Dalzell,
one of the Republican floor leaders.
Complete returns from all the Penn
sylvania congressional districts give
the Republicans twenty-six and the
Democrats six. The Democrats had
only one representative from the
state in the present congress.

North Dakota.

Fargo, Nov. 7.-Scattered returns
indicate that Fisk has been elected
Judge of the state supreme court over
Knauf, the Republican nominee. For
governor, Sarles (Rep.) and the rest
of the Republican ticket are elected.
Later returns may show that Sarles
had a close call Burke (Dem.), for
governor, carried Fargo by big ma
jority.
The chairmen Of the Republican
and Democratic state central commit
tees are both claiming the election of
their candidates for governor and
justice of the supreme court. These
two offices are the ones on which
there was a contest. Owing to the
closeness of the election and the
slowness of getting returns it will be
late today before anything definite will
be known concerning the result.

Missouri.

St. Louis, Nov. 7.-Secretary Mccoy
of the Republican state committee ex-
pressed confidence that Missouri had
gone Republican by small majority.
He stated that returns had been re-
ceived from only rs of the ia coun-
ties in the state, but basing his esti-
mates on these returns, the indica-
tions pointed to small Republican
majority. At the same time Chair
man Evans of the Democratic commit
tee said: Missouri has gone Demo
cratic by at least 1900 majority. OF
that am sure, although less than
half the counties had been heard
from. The full returns may show q
Democratic majority of 25.00O."
Wadsworth Defeated for Congress.
New York, Nov. TIT is officially
announced at Republican national
congressional headquarters that James
w. Wadsworth (Rep.) has been de-
feated for congress in the Thirty
fourth New York district. The infor-
nation to the effect was received in q
telegram from Mr.. Wadsworth himself
- chairman Sherman.

Kentucky.

Louisville, Nov Returns indi-
cate that the only change in the Ken
lucky delegation to congress would be
in the Third district, where the Re-
publicans have apparently gained q
seat. This, with the two they already
hold, gives eight Democratic and
three Republican representatives. The
returns from the Democratic primary
came in slowly and only one-fOurth OF
the 119 counties had heen heard from,
but the returns ai9Sassts y the nomina
tion of James b. McCreary, the incum-
bent, for United States senator, over
Governor J. G. Beckham, by major.
ity OF about 5000. For the governor.
ship the race is very close, Samuel
w. Hager having only a slight lead
over N. b. Hays.

Indiana.

Indianapolis, Nov. 7.-Republicans
have elected their entire state ticket
in Indiana by an estimated majority
of between 10000 and $4,000. The
next legislature will be Republican.
Republicans have elected six congress
men, in the First, Sixth, Seventh,
Ninth, Tenth and Thirteenth districts.
The Democrats have elected two, in
the Third and Fourth districts. Re-
publican State Chairman Goodrich
claims the election of Fred Landis in
the Eleventh. Democratic Chairman
O'Brien claims the election of Morr in
the Twelfth and Adair in the Eighth.
Returns from the Second and Fifth
districts are not sufficient to justify
an accurate estimate as to the result.
The results are spotted" due to
scratching. The Republican state
ticket carried several Democratic
strongholds. which elected Democratic
county and legislative tickets, and in
other places the opposite was true.
The vote in the state was surprisingly
light.

Idaho.

Boise, Nov. 7.-Scattering returns
indicate that a landslide has over
taken the head OF the Republican
ticket in the north and central por-
tions of the state. This (Ada) coun-
ty has gone against Governor Gooding
by a majority of a few hundred.
Kootenai and Latah counties in the
north are claimed by the Democrats to
be for Stockslager against Gooding,
while Washington, Elmore, Boise and
other central counties appear to have
gone the same way. Nothing has been
heard from the southeast, the Mormon
section of the state, but it now seems
quite certain that Gooding will be de-
feated unless he makes up his losses
in the Mormon counties. The remain
der of the Republican ticket seems to
have run we'll, but how the Republican
legislative ticket is affected is not
clear.

Columbus, Nov. THE indications
are that the Republicans have elected
Thompson, secretary of state, and
their entire state ticket by safe ma
jority. Chairman Dick of the Repub-
lican state committee said at 10:30 p.
M: Returns from Republican coun-
ty chairmen show the election Of the
entire state ticket by a plurality ex-
ceeding 10000
Senator Dick, chairman Of the state
Republican committee, sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President Roose-
welt: "Ohio Republican by not less
than $4,000 and elects seventeen Re-
publican congressman, three Demo
Gratis, with one district in doubt"
Chairman CARRIER of the Democratic
committee still refuses verbally to
concede the election Of the Repub-
lican ticket, the nearest to that being
statement that the Republican plu-
rality would not exceed $4,000 anyway.

ritory was a practical concession to
