The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1906-11-09

No definite figures are yet availa BILE
as to the result with regard to the SUBJ
ordinate state officers, and both Demo
Gratis and Republicans are claiming vic
tories from lieutenant governor down.
The indications are that the state leg
islature will show but little change in
its political makeup. The Tammany
judiciary ticket in New York county,
with the exception of Otto Rosalsky
(Rep.) for general sessions judge, has
been elected. The judiciary nomina-
tors ticket was defeated.
At 2:15 this morning Mr.. Hearst said:
''ln view Of the result have only to
repeat what have said in my speeches.
l am enlisted in this fight against the
control of the government by the trusts
and corrupt corporations and l will
fight it to the end
'But l will serve in the lead or in
the ranks just exactly as the people
desire and as earnestly and Loyalty in
one place as in the other The people
have decided to retain the Republican
party in power. l will make my fight
in the ranks, therefore, and as private
citizen do my best to promote the in
terests of my fellow citizens"
As was generally expected, Hearst
showed his greatest strength in the
cities throughout the state and took out
of the Republican column a number
OF the more important municipalities
which heretofore have been Republi-
can. Among the cities which gave
Hearst a plurality were Buffalo, Roch-
ester, Utica, Troy, Elmira, Rome, Lit
tie Falls and Johnstown. All of these.
except Utica and Rome, were RepubH
can two years ago. Hughes did not
gain a single city. The Republican
ticket was successful, but sustained Sc
rious losses in Syracuse, GloversvilIe,
Amsterdam, Ithaca, Schenectady, Wa
tertown and Plattsburg.
AS result of the scratching and the
voting for the same candidates under
different party emblems, the returns for
the subordinate officers on the various
state tickets are so complicated as not |
10 be available.
Great interest centered here in New |
York in the campaign waged for the |
judiciary ticket named by a committee |
OF lawyers. The Tammany and indie |
pendence League joint ticket has won
over the non-partisan candidates by big
Throughout the state there has been
D notable falling off in the vote from
1904, which was a presidential year
The Republican ticket showed the
greatest loss in this respect, especially
IN the cities.
There were many odd turns to the
Here ia New York it was
Richmond borough that defeated
Hearst for mayor year ago, and it
vas Brooklyn, with big plurality,
which helped him to make the race so
lose. Hearst barely carried BROOKLYN
and ran far ahead in Rich
nond. In Schenectady, one Of the best
organized labor cities in the United
states, it was expected Hearst would
AVE substantial plurality. The Re
publican ticket was successful by S74
.otes. as against Higgins plurality
# 1921 two years ago.
While both the state senate and as
emily will be strongly Republican, the
Democrats are claiming that they have
made gains. The complexion Of the
New York congressional delegation. it
s believed viii undergo but a slight
hange, II any.
1t is officially announced at Republi-
an national congressional headquar-
ers that James w. Wadsworth tRep.l.
or many years chairman of the house
on agriculture at Washing
on, has been defeated for congress in
he Thlrty-Fourth New York district.
The inRrmatiOu to this effect was re-
eived m a telegram from Wadsworth
Iimself to Chairman Sherman.
A few minutes before midnight May
