Washington. Nov. affections
were held yesterday in forty-two
states, and while the results in MUM
Der of Instances were of unusual inter
est. it may be said, generally speak
ing, there We're 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 good majority.
The indications are that the fight of

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 it
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 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
$4,000 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 lon-partisan Judiciary Nomi-
majors.
Massachusetts has reelected Curtis
Guild (Rep.) as governor.
In Chicago, it is estimated that the
independence league ticket polled 49,
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

majority ever given 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 $4,000 in the ate.
The constitution c. he new state
of Oklahoma will be written by Dem
pcrats. Joint statehood for New Mex
leo and Arizona is defeated in Ari-
IONA, which defeats the proposition.
Governor Hoch is reelected in Kan
Z 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
The Republicans carried Utah
Wyoming and Washington and seem
to have lost Nevada. while both par.
8 ties are claiming Colorado.
Montana seems to have been car

takes its usual place in the Democratic
column.

pressed confidence that Missouri had
gone Republican by a small majority
He stated that returns had been re-
ceived from only 25 of the ia coun-
ties in the state, but basing his esti-
mates on these returns, the indica-
tons pointed to a small Republican
majority At the same time Chair
man Evans of the Democratic commit
tee said: Missouri has gone Demo
cratic by at least $4,000 majority. OF
that am sure, although less than
half the counties had been heard
from. The full returns may show a
Democratic majority of 25,000."
