The state has elected Marshcil, dem
ocrat, governor by plurality of 49,
900 while giving Taft a margin of
$500.
The democrats not only elected
Thomas R. Marshall, but probably
chose enough democratic ms mbers of
the senate and house to give that
party a majority on joint ballot in
the legislature and thus enable it to
elect a United States senator to sue
coed Hemenway. They also changed
the political complexion of the con-
gressional delegation by electing II
democrats of the IS members allotted

of New York by a plurality of 1850,
Chanler, democrat, carried the city by
about $4,000 and Tammany hall put in
office all of it's important local candl-
dates.
