Throughout the state there was a
notable falling off in the vote of
1904, which was presidential year.
The republican ticket has shown the
greatest loss in this respect.
In claiming the election of Hughes
tonight by a large plurality, Repub-
lican State Chairman Woodruff said:
II knew all along we had lost the
labor vote. Every possible thing
was done to recover it, but ] think
without avail
Mr.. Hughes said: 81 am very
much gratified if I am elected, as
now seems to be the case. Whatever
my plurality may be my feeling is
not of citation but of responsibility"
Neither Max +. thomson, chair
man of the independence League
or w. J. Cannors, chairman of the
democratic state committee for Mr..
Hearst, was willing to admit defeat
at late hour tonight.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-According
to incomplete returns from all over
the state received up to 1890 p. m.
Charles E. Hughes, the republican
candidate, has been elected governor
of New York over William Randolph
Hearst, nominee of the democratic
party and Independence League Dy
approximately a plurality of 10000.
Two years ago Governor Higgins
was elected on the republican ticket
by S0,560. The latest figures seem
to indicate that Hughes plurality
above the Bronx will exceed lis, O0v.
To Offset this Hearst's plurality in
Greater New York will probably be
from $4,000 to $4,000. In Brooklyn
Senator Patrick McCarren made a
bitter fight against Hearst The lat
ter carried the borough by small
plurality, probably 1000. At one
time during the count it seemed that
Hughes had been successful in
Brooklyn, but late returns were all
strongly in favor of the democratic
candidate. Hearst has been given a
majority of 10000 in Manhattan and
the Bronx. Queen county, which
includes Long Island City, has gone
for Hearst by from 5000 to 5000,
and Richmond, Staten Island has al
so given the democratic candidate a
plurality.
AS was generally expected Hearst
showed the greatest strength in the
cities throughout the state. Among
the cities which gave Hearst plu-
rality are Buffalo, Rochester, Uti-
ca, Troy, Elmira, Rome, Little Falls
and Johnstown. All of these except
Rome and Utica were republican two
years ago. Hughes didn't gain a
single city.
AS result of scratching and v0t-
ing for the same candidate under diff
ferent party emblems, the returns
for subordinate officers on the vari-
GUS tickets are so complicated as not
to be available tonight.
Great interest centered here in
New York in the campaign waged for
the judiciary ticket named by the
committee Of lawyers headed by Jo-
seph H. Choate and former Judge
Alton B. Parker.

League joint ticket has won over the

SALT LAKE, Nov. 6.-The repub-
licans In Utah have elected their
state ticket by a good majority, re-
turning Joseph Howell to congress.
In Salt Lake county, where the anti
Mormon party conferred their eff
forts the result is in doubt. The
Americans have a plurality Of the
votes in Salt Lake, but this may be
overcome by the republicans in the
country outside of the city. The
democratic vote of Salt Lake City
shows falling off of 80 per cent.

A Natural Outburst.

That was a remarkable exhibition of
insurgency in the house yesterday, when
Representative Shackleford of Missouri
stood up before the speaker and de-
nounced him as an FtEenthroned despot,
,subjecting the rights and destinies of
this great. people to the dictates of your
own unbridled will.'' The outburst
came as a protest against Speaker Can
non S reported statement that he would
not permit the house to concur in the
senate amendment to the statehood bill
admitting Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as one state, while deferring furth-
er action upon Arizona and New Mexico
until the question Of union had been
passed upon by a referendum.
Whether Mr.. Cannon stated his de-
termination in just that form or not
he has not denied it, and the protest
of the Missouri congressman is not
without provocation. The condition OF
things in the house of representatives
is such, under the rules, that the speak
er is the absolute master Of the situa.
tion. The house of representatives is
a large, unwieldy body, and control Of
its proceedings has been given ovel

H0LLY STUMBLES INTO THE

Folly, a story that for the hold it takes
on the sympathies and for the quality
Of it's telling deserves to be widely read.
"Folly' is a two-edged title; 1T is

the story, and at the same time the
is the wife of a country squire, a man
of wealth and fine character, but she
is irresistibly drawn to another man, a
| poet, with more sense and character
than most poets that are put into novels,
have. This poet is doomed to death
| within a year, a fact which Folly learns
after she has tried to put him wholly
out of her mind thru devotion to her
child. But sympathy for the poet fans
her affection into new life, tho she
clings to her home and child. She says
| if the child's life is spared thru the ills
of infancy she will stay with it, if not,
she will go to the poet, seeking to shift
the responsibility of her future course
to the shoulders Of Providence The
child dies, and Folly enters upon the
path of folly. But it is not the folly OF
the lost after all; it is the folly of ex-
pecting to find happiness in what is in
the final analysis selfish course. -
The author in such a story has done
the difficult thing Of saving for Folly

folly, one sees a fine spirit struggling
for the mastery. Will this spirit OF

Conditions Along the Panama

staff A preliminary statement appears
in the current issue. While they do
not utterly repudiate Bigelow's work,
they practically admit that it was
hasty, careless and unfair and in a large
measure untruthful. They find that
while in the past there has been a great
deal of waste of time and money, the
conditions today are deserving of COM
mendation rather than criticism. They
find that what is now being done is
wise and well-considered preparation
for the great task in hand. They say
the work of digging the canal is pro-
crossing very slowly and without ade-
quate machinery Or other facilities
They, find, however, that the sanitary
conditions have been greatly improved
and are now such as to command ad-
miration for the intelligence displayed
{ in that regard. They find a splendid
esprit de corps among the men from
Chief Engineer Stevens to the common

ways, has won the regard and even the
confidence and affection of all his en-

No Defender for Free Seeds

Secretary Wilson is frank to state
that he is not in sympathy with the
free seed graft, and he has been en-
listed by Speaker Cannon and Chair
man Tawney to help head off possible
attempt to override the committee on
agriculture and continue the distribu-
tion. The secretary's letter. calls at
tention to the growth of the system
and it's distortion from the original
purpose. The appropriation. was origi-
nally made in order to import new
seeds and introduce new. plant varieties
into this country. These were. distrib-
uted by the bureau on requests made
usually thru members of congress, and
the demand grew till it was necessary
#by 1890 to buy seeds wholesale from
native growers. The original purpose
was lost sight of, and was revived: in
1891 by a separate appropriation of
$4,000 a year, to be spent in import
ing and reproducing foreign seeds and
plants. Meanwhile the free seed graft
has grown to an expenditure of $780,
900 a year.
The practice is certainly paternalism
run mad, and no other country, as
Secretary Wilson says, "buys ordinary
miscellaneous vegetable and flower
| seeds from growers and dealers, and
then distributes them to it's citizens -
| On principle the graft could never be
defended, and has only lasted so long
because it has been a handy way fol-
congressman to keep solid with their
constituents at government expense. II
would be a bare-faced fraud on the
country for congress to ignore the pro
tests made and loot the treasury fol-
another $200,00O.
