LANDSLIDE FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Win New York, Ohio, Connections
massachusetts and New Jersey
Roosevelt Loses Grip in NY.

A Democratic landslide in the
elections yesterday gave control of
the National House of Representa-
tives to that party, although the ex-
tent of the majority is still in
doubt. The Democrats also elected
their tickets in the principal states
where elections were h Id. In Ohio
Governor Judson Harmon, Democrat
was reelected over his Republican
opponent, Warren G. Harding. by a
large plurality. The Democrats saw
that this will reach rs, Re-
turns indicate the election of Wood
row Wilson, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of New Jersey
by a plurality of about 20. coo over
Vivian M. Lewis, Republican. DR..
Wilson was exceptionally strong in
the sections where the commuter vote
is large. DR.. Wilson ran ahead of
his ticket. and the contests for tbe
Legislature are in many cases so
close that its control on joint ballot
is In doubt. The Republicans claim
to have a safe majority. Eugene
N. Foss, Democrat, was elected Gov
ernor OF Massachusetts over the pre-
sent Incumbent. Eben S. Draper.
The plurality of Mr.. Foss is about
70, 600. The Legislature is safely
Republican, assuring the return of
Henry Cabot Lodge to the Senate.
With lO2 out of 168 towns in Connec-
tlcut heard from, Judge Simeon E.
Baldwin, Democrat, was leading
CHARLES A. Goodwin, the Republican
candidate for Governor, by a plurality
OF 2,74l. All the large cities gave
Baldwin big pluralities. 1t was es-
t'mated that Baldwin would te
elected by about 5000 plurality.
West Virginia Republicans concede
large Democratic gains, but the vote
is so close that an official count NAV
be necessary to determine the result.
The result in Iowa will be close re-
turns idicating the reelection of
Governor Carroll, Republican, by a
small plurality. Scattering returns
from Indiana indicate the election of
the Democratic state ticket. The
Democrats claim majority in the
Legislature, which will elect a sue
cessor to Senator Beveridge. In New
Hampshire, Robert P. Bass, Repub-
lican, was elected Governor by a
plurality of about 5000. Governor
Pothier, Republican, was reelected
in Rhode Island.

VETS CARRY RURAL NEW
CASTLE COUNTY SAFELY
BlACKBlRD HUNDRED GOES
"DRY" BY 40 OR MORE MAJORITY
Result a Disappointment to Temper
ance Workers Who Put Up Strong
Fight.-Many Surprises

Much interest was manifested in
Smyrna and disappointment is keen
over the victory of the liquor people
in the wet" and "dry" fight in
rural New Castle county. From the
returns complete from five of the
nine representative districts in the
county and partial returns from the
others the "wets' have a majority
of 500 or more. 1t appeared that
those districts which had voted for
no saloons at the last election simply
turned over to the wet forces,
while those which had been pro-
nounced saloon districts then were
reduced yesterday. This was notably
true in Brandywine hundred which
gave majority of 81 for the saloon
yesterday In one district, Shellpot,
there were 49 ballots rejected as be-
ing defaced and where they had a
majority of 40 three years ago, the
returns yesterday showed but ma
jority Of 2. With the fourth district
of the Christiana hundred missing
that hundred gives a majority of 157
for the saloon. In White Clay Creek
hundred the third district is missing,
but the remaining two districts give
a majority of 13O to the vets. The
local option people were optimistic,
however, VIXEN the returns from New
Castle, the tenth district came in
which showed that the Anti Saloon
people had made great inroads in the
majority of that district. The major
ity of this year tOtalling only 156.
The greatest gains made by the
"dry" forces were in Pencader and
Biackbir3 hundreds. which went
dry by very small majority, as
follows: Blackbird dry by 40 ajority
and Pencader by so. St. Georges
hundred gave so majority for the
wet forces.

WALLS AND HOFFECKER WIN
OLD DUCK GREEK HlJNDRE0
EDWARD G. WALLS, DEMOCRAT. ELECTED
TO STATE SENATE BY A MAJORITY OF "a
But HaS Plurality OF 45 in This Senatorial District.
j. EDWIN Hoffecker, Republican, Elected Over
H. H. Denney for Representative by Votes.

dred was pretty much of an even di
vide up between the two opposing
parties when Edward G. Walls, dem
ocrat, was elected to the State SEN
ate to succeed DR.. Thomas C. Moore,
republican, and ]. Edwin Hoffecker.
republican was elected to the lower
house to succeed Hervey P. Hall,
democrat. Mr.. Walls plurality
over A. B. Richardson, of Dover. the
republican nominee, was 43. He
carried old Duck Creek Hundred by
84 majority, running some twenty
ahead of his ticket. He received a
splendid complimentary vote. On
the other hand j. Edwin Hoffecker
also ran some twenty ahead of his
ticket with splendid complimentary
vote, defeating Robert H. Denney,
democrat, by the close margin of
three votes. 1t is understood the
democrats will take a contest, but it
is hardly thought the result will be
changed. Reuben Ford, democrat,
was elected assessor, and Andrew
D. Cole, democrat was elected in
spector for the first district and
Edward 7. Porter, democrat, for
the second district. The election
closed one of the quietest and appar-
emily cleanest campaigns experienced
in Duck Creek Hundred for many
years. There were no arrests and
the order throughout the day was
good. Reports from other parts of
Kent County show the republicans
have elected the majority of the leg
islative branch, but probably lost
the Levy Court by one majority.
Edward A. Evans, republican, was
elected to the Legislature over Henry
Pratt, in the Third District (Clay-
toh-Kenton) by q majority. In the
Second District, Thomas B. Garrison,
democrat, for the Legislature. Most
of the county ticket has been car
ried by the Republicans and the ma
jorities will range from 200 to 300.
L. Linn Pratt, of Milford, is re-
ported to have been elected clerk of
the peace by a majority of from 25
to 80 on the Democratic ticket.
Amos Hindsley for recorder of deeds
on the Democratic ticket may also be
elected. He is leading and there
is one small district to hear from
which is likely to be favorable to
him. The Democrats will control the
levy court by electing John .Virden
in West Dover hundred by ma aiority
O. one.
Republican state ticket was elected
also county tickets in New Castle and
Sussex counties, and the next legis-
lature will have Republican major
ity on joint ballot. The State candi-
date Congressman William H. Heald
and State Treasurer D. o. Moore,
were both reelected. Heald's ma
jority in Wilmington was SAT, and
that Of Moore 1874. Returns received
at midnight indicated that the Re-
publican's majority on the state
ticket is about 1,500. AS for the
legislative ticket, the returns indi-
cate that there will be nine Republi-
cans and eight Democratic members
in the new senate. There will be
nine Republican representatives from
New Castle, six from Kent and at
least five from Sussex.

Federal Building talk for SMYRNA
has been revived by the unexpected
visit of H. S. McCallister of the
United States Treasury Department
who came in on an evening train Fri
day to look into the matter of a
site for the proposed building for
which Congress recently appropriated
S25, OOO. Postmaster Jefferson receiv-
ed him and introduced him to several
of Smyrna's prominent citizens. Sat
urday Mr.. McCallister in company
with Postmaster Jefferson, President
Samuel j. Reynolds of Smyrna Town
Council; Secretary H. B. Grieves of
Council; Walter 0. HofFecker and
Joseph B. FAIRIES went the rounds of
the several proposed sites. At the
Smyrna House, H. B. Grieves was
the spokesman and stated the merits
of the Main street site; at the Revn
olds- -PhillipsCatts site, corner of
Commerce and Market streets. w.
0. Hoffecker championed the loca-
tion. The Carr property, Market
street; the basket mill property q.
P Hudson Owner), West Commerce
Street; the James r. Mott pierce
property, corner of Main and Mt.
Vernon streets; and the Joseph B
FAIRIES and E. w. Mcdowell proper-
ties, corner of Commerce and Della
ware streets, were all visited and
closely compared.
Took Notes But Had Nothing to Saw
At each place AGENT McCallister
took notes and data and secured later
from the owners their lowest bins.
He had nothing to say concerning one
location over another. He was a
good listener. He was shown that
the CommerceM Market street corner
was centrally located to all parts of
the town and in direct line of traffic
between the railroad station and the
boat; he was shown the Smyrna
House site along beautiful blocked
Main street, near the -Four Corners"
and of its advantageous position along
the through state thoroughfare. He
heard some objection to tearing
down of Smyrna's oldest hotel which
would not only deprive Smyrna o. a
landmark but hotel property which
would be hard soon to replace. He
heard the good points and Il e bad
points Of all locations, all of which
he noted down and took back to
Washington with him.
Delegation Visits Him Saturday Evening
Saturday evening he was visited
by delegation of citizens at the
Delaware House where he stopped.
He gave them a courteous hearing
but made no comments. He left
Sunday morning on his return to
Washington. The data he collected
will all be gone over carefully and
the bids compared, but how soon a
decision will be reached and a con-
tract awarded. is at this writing a
matter of mere conjecture. 1t may
be soon; it may be months. At
any rate the citizens of Smyrna who
see and feel the need of better post
office quarters, will anxiously await.

LuzoN LIQUOR is DANGEROUS.
Brig. Gen. Potts Recommends That
Army Canteen be Re-estalished.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The same old
story, told by many commanding Off.
cers of the army of the deplorable re.
suit Of the abolition of the army can.
teen, is repeated in a graphic way by
Brig. Gen. Ramsay D. Potts, command.
ing the department of the Luzon in
the Philippines. Gen. Potts says that
most of the courts martial last year
were traceable directly to the use of
the native liquors which have deleteri.
u and, in many cases, disastrous eft.
fects.
1T is a violation of law to sell much
liquor to soldiers, but the law cannot
be enforced" says Gen. Potts. Zone
who has never seen the effects of even
a small quantity of native liquor upon
a young American, unaccustomed to
its use, al form no judgment as to
the seriousness Of the situation now
presented-a situation which is be-
yond the control of the military au.
thorities, while the civil authorities
can do very little.
II can only suggest the removal Of
temptation by providing a substitute
for the vile native liquors in the shape
of beer and possibly a little light wine
through the post exchange"
