 Legislature Remains Republican. Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The most ex. citing campaign in Pennsylvania i'll twenty-five years has ended in a tri. umph for Edwin s. Stuart (Rep) for governor over Lewis Emery, Jr. Dem and Lincoln party by a plurality thai the Republican leaders declared would reach 100000. Aside from the contes, for governor and other state officers the chief interest centered in the bat. tie in Philadelphia for district attorney and in few of the congressional dis tricts. Members of the house of rep resentatives and county officers were elected in every county, and state sen ators were chosen in twenty-five of the fifty districts.
 Samuel F. Rotan (Rep.) was elected district attorney in Philadelphia by n vote which his friends say will exceed 10000, defeating Clarence Gibboney, who had the support of the reform forces and the Democrats.
 Legislature Still Republican.
 The incoming legislature will be strongly Republican, although not so overwhelmingly as 1t was two years ago.
 The new personal registration law which went into effect since the last election reduced the normal vote in many of the cities. The corrupt practices act, which also became opera tive since the last election, also oper- ated to cut down the vote in some To- calities. This act prohibits the use of money at elections except for legiti- mate purposes and is said to have de- tered many poll workers from buying votes.
 One of the chief issues In the state campaign was the new capitol, which was dedicated on Oct. 4. The fusion ists claimed that several million dol lars of oyercharges and Implications are represented in furnishing and equipping the building. The Repub- lican candidates pledged themselves if elected to investigate those charges and to place the responsibility for the alleged extravaganza where 1t right fully belongs.
 Democrats Gain Consrsssmsn.
 Complete returns from all the Penn sylvania congressional districts give the Republicans twenty-six and the Democrats six. The Democrats had only one representative from this state in the present congress.
 Of the congressional contest the hot test was that against John Daizell, one of the Republican floor leaders. Dalzell was opposed by Dr. R. ]. Black. who was nominated by the fnsionlsts because It was thought he would be popular with the labor unions. which are strong in this district. Dalzeli was reelected.
 There were contests against Con- gressmen Acheson in the Washington district, ,Olmsted in the Dauphin dis trict, Lafean In the York district, Lilly In the Bradford district and Dale in the Lackawanna district. Thomas D. Nichols, district president of the Unit ed Mine Workers. was the Democratic nominee against Dale. Deemer was opposed by William B. Wilson, Demo crat, and national secretary-treasure of the mine workers. President John Mitchell made speeches for Nichols and Wilson In their districts.
 The state senators who were elected will serve in the next two regular ses- sions of the legislature and will vote for United States senator in the session of 1909, when successor to Boles Penrose will be chosen. The state was apportioned by the legislature at the extra session. and this election wns the first under the new apportionment.
