The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-11-06

Boston. Nov 6-The figures by which II
was announced early today that Massa-
chusetts voters had declared themselves
in yesterdy's ballot box as emphatically
IN favor OF Gov. Guilds reelection and
the continuance OF the entire Republican
state administration for another year.
were slightly but not materially changed
by careful revision OF the press re-
turns today. The revised totals reads
Gov. Curtis Guild. Jr., OF Boston (R),
1ss.543: Henry NJ Whitney OF Brookline,
D). 1892: Thomas L. Hisgen OF West
Springfield. Qnd. L., 74.S45; Charles w.
Bartlett OF Boston, (anti-merger), lilo.
These complete returns give Guild a
plurality OF 105 ,051, the largest since that
OF Gov wolcott in 1898. Last year Gov.
Guild had 3l,s73 votes more than John B.
Moran, who headed the Democratic, Inde-
pendence league and Prohibition tickets
Mr.. whitney, who besides heading the
regular Democratic ticket. ran on In
dependent Citizen and Democratic Citi-
zen nomination papers. showed less
strength than had probably been expected.
He had a plurality OF but s647 over Mr..
Hisgen The inroads made by the latter
candidate was practically the only feature
of the balloting for governor which had
not been generally looked for. In nearly
all the cities his votes outcounted those
for Whitney.
No city OF the state gave Whitney a
plurolity over Guild and only three towns
did so-Alford. Oak Bluffs and Sher-
born. Brookline, Mr.. Whitney's home city
favored the reelection of Guild by n
plurality OF s42
OTHER RETURNS
Although the returns for lieutenant gov
ernor and other state offices were not
compiled in conjunction with the vote for
governor II is expected that these re-
turns will show the reelection OF Lieuten-
ant Governor Draper and the ticket by
vote almost identical with that given
by Gov Guild. AS the term to which Mr..
Guild is now elected will be his third, IL
will probably be his last and next year
Lieut.. Gov. Draper will as usual succeed
20 the Republican candidacy for governor.
The other state officers reelected are:
Secretary OF state. William III. Olin OF
Boston.
Treasurer Arthur ID. Chaplin. OF Hol-
yoke.
Auditor. Henry Turner of'Malden.
Attorney-general, Dana Malone OF
Greenfield.
The division Of the vote among the
Prohibition candidate, Hervey s. Cowell
of Ashburnham; the Socialist candidate.
John w. Brown OF Worcester, and the
Socialist-Labor candidate. Thomas T..
Brennan of Salem. will not be complied
No material change in the complexion
OF the state legislature is brought about
by yesterdays voting, the Republicans
gaining three members In the senate and
the makeup OF the house being unaltered
The next legislature will be composed oil
81 Republicans and Democrats In the
senate. and l75 Republicans to 50 Demo
Gratis in the house.
BOSTON FOR GUILD.
A local feature OF the vote for governor
was the fact that this city, which wen
Democratic last year by n plurality o
$1,000. surrendered TO Guild by plural
tty OF nearly 5000.
In Boston the contest for county Offices
overshadowed interest In the state re
suits although what was expected TO b
a close threc-cornered fight among Johi
b. Moran. Joseph l.. Dennison and Waite
A. Webster for the district attorneyshll
OF Suffolk county. resulted In a landslid
OF over 1000 plurality In favor OF Moran
the present district attorney. In the con
tests for sheriff and for registrar OF pro
bate much interest was also manifest. y
II Seavey and Arthur w. Dolan bein
elected TO the respective offices. Dolan'
plurality over David T. Montague, Reput
ucan. was but 1870.
