determine outcome on governor
ship. Indications now are, how
ever, that Carroll is elected by
a small majority. Too many ele-
ments enter into the situation
in Iowa to attribute reaction to
any specific cause. We cannot
question the intelligence OF the
people and the individual voters
only can tell thu reasons for 1t.
In my judgment, under existing
conditions nothing further could
have been done to stem the tide.
c. F. FRANKIE,
Chairman Republican State Com.
Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Special: Gov.
ernor Carroll this afternoon said he
had returns from Sc counties. which
gave him a plurality of 1000 and
that his plurality in the state would
be at least 5000. One newspaper
has returns from 500 precincts out
of the $4,000 in the state, indicating
that Porter is In the lead by 1000.
Later returns indicate that the cleo
ton for governor is very close and
Ii may be anybody's race.
Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Special: The
Daily News in an extra says Porter
wins by 10000. The Capital admits
that 1t may be Porter and the Regist-
er e Leader says returns from 1886
precincts in Iowa including Des
Moines gave Carroll n ,sp4 and Port
er 22,S45. ,rhe same precinct In fg0S
gave Carroll 32.564 and White 23,9S7.
This Is a republican loss Of about Al
to the precinct. Il the ratio contin-
ues throughout the remainder of the
returns Porter will be elected by
about $4,000.
