=. Wilson. republican candidate for
governor and the entire republican
state ticket have been elected by ma
iorities ranging from 5000 to 10000,
and the republicans have carried the
city of Louisville for both state and
city tickets. James +. Grnstead. re-
publican. Is elected mayor of Louis
Vile by $500 majority.
The next Kentucky legislature will
have democratic majority on Joint
ballot, and presumably for Governor
Beckham for United States senator,
although already there j. some talk
Of q bolt of ssme of tho democrats to
one of the warmest and what seems to
have been one of the fairest elections
held in Kentuck IN many years
At midnight complete returns from
20 Of 119 Kentucky counties had been
received, and these gave n majority
Of 26 for Wilson as against approXi-
mately p 700 for Beckham at the
last state election. In addition TO the
three counties mentioned there are re-
turns at hand from the counties OF
jefferson. Kentou and Campbell
which indicate with certainty that the
republican majoritics viii total $500
for the head of the republican state
ticket. The counties yet 10 he heard
from win balance each other and the
election of the republican ticket is
conceded, the late returns which
poured in indicating a landslide that
will reach $1,000 majority polled by
Beckham in 1903.
In Louisville and jefferson county.
which were not included in the fore
going figures. III precincts gave
Wilson 2.S35 majority, and James +.
Grainstead. republican, for mayor
] ,256 majority over Tyler. The city
and county are conceded 10 the re-
publicans by majorties estimated at
1900 for Grinstead and 1900 for
Wilson. Wilson therefore led by
about $500 at 10 o'clock.
The republicans have also gained a
large number Of seats In the next leg
islature. The Indications, however,
are that the democrats will have
safe majority on Joint ballot and that
Governor Beckham will he elected
United States senator In the last
legiSla ture the democrats had a ma
jority OF 70 on joint ballot II is cX-
pected this will be reduced 10 a ma
iority Of about twenty in the next leg-
stature.
Kentucky. however, has a large !
number OF counties remote from rail- !
roads. and with poor teleFraphic facil- !
tiles the heaviest democratic and |
heaviest republican congressional |
votes being usually the last TO be |
heard from. These conditions have |
been responsible for sudden turn OF
he tide al the last moment, and the |
are that complete re-
urns and decisive results. n the race |
proves close. will not be received be- !

Tres as to the contests for lieutenant |
governor and minor state offices were |
obtainable tonight
