PUBLICAN.
Elections were held yesterday in all
states, and while the results in num-
Der of instances were of unusual inter
est. it may be said that, generally
speaking, there were no surprises.
Throughout the South the Democrat
ic 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 column
show no material change, the Demo
Gratis making gains in some instances
and the Republicans in others. The
Republicans retain control OF congress
by a good majority.
Huql1es Defeats Hearst.
Perhaps the widest general interest
in the elections centered in the re-
markable fight for governor which has
been waged in New York state be-
tween Charles E. Hughes, the Repub-
lican candidate, who throughout the
campaign has had the support OF Pres
ident Roosevelt, and William RAN
dolph Hearst, who has been running
as the regular Democratic and indie
pendence league nominee. The latest
returns available ~ show that Mr..
Hughes, while losing nearly all OF the
principal cities Of the state was sue
cessful by about $4,000 plurality. The
rural districts brought about the Re
publican victory.
Hearts Statement.
Mr.. Hearst made the following state
ment:
tIn view of the result, [ have only to
repeat what | said in my speeches.
I am enlisted in this fight against the
control of the government by the
trusts and corrupt corporations, and |
will fight to the end.
sBut I will serve in the lead or in
the ranks, just exactly as the people
desire. and as earnestly and as Loyalty
in one place as in the other. The peo-
pie have decided to retain the Repub-
llcan party in power. [ will make my
fight in the ranks, therefore, and as a
private citizen do my best to promote
the interests of nay fellow citizens
Balance Of Ticket in Doubt.
In New York city the Tammany-In-
dependence league judiciary ticket was
successful, with possibly one excep
ton over the candidates named by the
non-partisan judiciary nominators.
No definite figures are yet available
as to the results with regard to the
subordinate state officers, and both
Democrats and Republicans are claim
ing victories from lieutenant governor
down.
The indications are that the state
legislature will show but little change
in it's political makeup.
In Chicago it is estimated that the
Independence league ticket polled 49,
900, but there was a Republican plu
rality for state officers.
Nebraska shows big Republican
gains over the Pattison vote of last
wear. The Republicans expect plu-
rality of $4,000 in the state.
Democrats Win in Oklahoma
The constitution of the new state OF
Oklahoma will be written by Demo
Gratis. The Indians voted the Demo
cratic ticket almost solidly Okla
homa also went stronly Democratic in
choosing delegates to the constitution
al convention.
New Mexico voted favorably and Ar
iona unfavorab1y to enter the Union
Jointly as a single state, which defeats
the proposition.
Gov. Koch, Republican, is reelected
in Kansas by slightly reduced ma
jority.
The result in Missouri was in doubt
at a late hour. the Democrats expect
ing to gain some of the congressional
districts they lost two years ago.
Congressman Nicholas IongWOrtb
was reelected in Cincinnati
Wadsworth and Babcock Lose.
CONGRESSMAN J. w. Wadsworth, for
many years chairman of the house
committee on agriculture at Washing
ton, was defeated in the Thirty-fourth
New York district.
The Republicans carry Utah, Wyo-
ming and Washington, and seem to
have lost Nevada, while both parties
are claiming Colorado.
Montana seems to have been carried
bv the Republicans, and Texas takes
it's usual place in the Democratic col
umn.
Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin,
formerly chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, failed OF
election.
In Rhode Island James W. Higgins.
Democrat, is elected governor
PENNSYLVANIA.
Republicans Claim 100000 Plurality
for Stuart.
