DIX ELECTED GOVERNOR
OF GREAT EMPIRE STATE
COL. ROOSEVELT'S CANDIDATE
GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT.
Plurality Exceeds Fifty Thousand
Democrats Also Elect Governors
in Four Other States.
News and Courier, 9Th.

Elections held throughout the coun-
try yesterday resulted in a political
eonvulsion Of far-reaching extent,
similar at many points to the famous
tidal wave of 1882, and apparently
more widespread in it's effect.
The indications toward midnight
were that the national house Of rep
resentatives had been carried by the
Democrats, reversing the present Re-
publican majority Of 43.
The United States senate will prob
ably have a reduced Republican ma
iority, as a result Of legislative elec-
wons held in many States.
In New York State John A. Dix,
Democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Henry l.! Stimson, Repub-
Hcan, by a plurality of about $1,000,
reversing the Republican plurality Of
10000 in 1908 for Governor Hughes.
In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson,
Democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Vivian NJ. Lewis, Repub-
Hcan, by about $4,000 plurality, re-
versing the previous Republican plur-
atty of 5000 for Governor Fort.
In Massachusetts, Eugene N. Foss,
Democratic candidate, has defeated
Governor Eben S. Draper, Republican
candidate for reelection, by about 3d.
600 plurality, reversing Governor
Draper's former plurality of 5000.
In Connecticut Judge Simeon E.
Baldwin, Democratic candidate, is
elected governor over Charles A.
Goodwin, Republican, by about 1000
plurality, reversing the previous Re-
publican plurality OF $4,000.
In Ohio Governor Judson Harmon,
Democratic candidate for reelection,
appears to have carried the State by
about $4,000 over Warren G. Harding,
RepuDllcan canQlOaCe.
In New Hampshire Robert H. Bass,
Republican candidate for governor, is
leading Charles e. Carr, Democratic
candidate, by about 5000 plurality.
In Pennsylvania the election Of John
H. Tener, Republican candidate for
governor, is claimed by large rlur-
ality.
In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier,
Republican candidate, is slightly in
the lead over Lewis A. Waterman,
Democratic candidate, with a plural
ity much reduced from that Of 1909.
In Tennessee the fusion candidate,
Ben ". Hooper, is apparently elected
by $4,000 plurality.
Democratic governors have been
elected in Alabama and South Caro-
lima.
In Iowa the Democrats claim the
election of Claude r. Porter for gov
ernor, but this is not yet conceded.
In Wisconsin the election Of the
Republican candidate for governor,
Francis E. McGovern, is claimed by
reduced majority and the return OF
Senator LaFollette to the United
States senate is assured.
In Michigan Charles E. Osborne, the
Republican candidate for governor,
appears to have a safe lead over L. T.
Femans, Democrat
New York, Nov. S.-Returns at 10
O'Clock tonight indicate that John A
Dix, Democrat, has been elected gov
ernor of New York over Henry L.
Stimson,' Republican, by between So
600 and $4,000 plurality. These figures
may be reduced or increased by re-
turns from upstate rural districts.
New York city gives Dix a plural
lty of at least 100000, which more
than offsets the greatly reduced plur-
ality of the Republicans upstate. Two
years ago the greater city gave Chan
ler for governor less than than $4,000
plurality.
Perhaps Entire Ticket.
Below Mr.. Dix on the ticket the
result is uncertain at this hour, al
though tending toward Democratic
success. Thomas F. Conway, the
Democratic nominee for Lieutenant
governor, appears to be running only
slightly behind Dix.
The complexion OF the legislature,
which will select successor to Sen
ator Chauncey n. DePew, will be set
tied only by more complete returns,
although it seems probable that the
