A democratic landslide has hit several
of the eastern states. Tuesdays cleo
tions did not come as a surprise to
astute politicians or those familiar with
political conditions. Majorities are pill
ing up higher, however, than most people
expected.
Most interest centered on New York
state. Roosevelt. it might be stated,
was beaten to a ''frG zzle." John A. Dix,
democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Henry L. StimsOn, republi-
can, by about IS 900, reversing the re-
publican plurality of 10000 in 1908 for
Governor Hughes. The complexion OF
the Legislature, which elects a successor
to Senator Chauncey Nj. Depew, at this
writing, is in doubt. Roosevelt's home
district gave Dix majority.

ocratic. candidate for governor, is elected
