DEMOCRAT WINS HOT FIGHT
Ravens Defeats AIdridse In New York
Congressional District Tar
iff Was Feature.

Rochester, N. Y.-James 8. Ravens
(Dem.) was Tuesday elected to con-
gress in the Thirty-second district, de-
feating George w. Aldridge (ReD.).
The district had been Republican
since 1890.
Aldridge, formerly state superintend-
ent Of public works. was accused
during the campaign Of having re-
ceived $1,000 from insurance COM
panies to influence legislation. The
tariff was feature Of the campaign.
Havens carried the city OF Rochester
by plurality of about 1000. over
turning Republican plurality OF 5000
in 1908.
The late Representative Perkins car

more than ten Thousand. Mr.. Ravens

What gave the campaign its fever
heat, however, was what the Demo

question of ''bossism'' and of the per-
sonal fitness of Mr. Aldridge to sit in
the house of representatives.
The evidence that Mr.. Aldridge re-

resentative of the insurance companies
for the alleged purpose of influencing
legislation is an argument his op-
