ELECTION RESULTS FROM TIE
COUNTRY OVER.
aoMPERs FIGHT is IN VAIN
Speaker Cannon and Representative
Mudd Of Maryland Returned to Con-
eress in Spite of the Opposition Of
the Federation Of Labor.


Washington, Nov. ELECTIONS
were held yesterday in forty-two
states, and while the results in mum
ber OF instances We're OF unusual inter.
est, it may be said, generally speak
ing, There We're no great surprises.
Throughout the south the Democratic
stale and congressional tickets have
| been elected Ly 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 CO... gress
| 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 unayail-
| ing. Mr. Mudds 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 it
| has been for years, approximately
| $500.
| Perhaps the widest general interest
in the elections conferred in the re-
markabIe fight for governor which had
been waged in New York state be-
| tween Charles e. 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
1000 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 eK-
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
600, but there was 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, Michi-
gan. North Dakota, Indiana and Con-
necticut have rolled up Republican
pluralities.
In Minnesota, Governor Johnson
| (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 Republicans expect plu-
rality Of 1900 in the state.
The constitution of the new state
| Of Oklahoma will be written by Dem
ocrats Joint statehood for New Mex
leo and Arizona is defeated in Ari-
IONA which defeats the proposition.
Governor Hoch is reelected in Kan
sas by slightly reduced majority.
The result in Missouri was in doubt
at late hour, the Democrats expect
ing to gain some Of the congressional
districts they lost two years ago.
Congressman Nicholas Longworth
was reelected in Cincinnati.
| Tho Republicans carried Utah.
| Wyoming and Washington and seem
| to have lost Nevada, while both par
| ties are claiming Colorado.
Montana seems TO have been car
ried by the Republicans, and Texas
takes its usual place in the Democratic
| column
