KENDALL ELECTED
BY BIG PLURALITY
Will Have l400 Over HambIeton in
Sixth District.
GREAT GAIN OVER 2 YEARS AGO
His Home County of Monroe Rolls
Up Majority of Over 100
-Mahaska Gives Him
Over 200.

Indications are that Hon. N. E. Ken
dali, republican candidate for con-
gresham, will be elected over Hon.
Dan Hamilton, the democratic candi.
date, by from 1900 to 1900 majority.
This shows a great gain over two
years ago, when Kendall had a plu-
rality of only PSI. Much of this in
crease in republican vote came in Mr..
Kendalls home county of Monroe.
Here he will have a majority of al
least 100. The situation at noon to.
day according to telephone messages
from all the county seats in the dis.
trict was as follows:
Mahaska County.
Twelve precincts out of &c give
Kendall plurality of 72, showing a
net gain over two years ago of l46
This same ratio of gain will give Ken.
dali an increased vote of over 800
over Hamilton. Hamilton carried the
county two years ago by rs, and will
lose it this year by 225.
Monroe County.
Abba, Nov. 9.-With practically all
returns in Kendall will have a plural
ity Of over 100. This shows a gain
of six hundred for Kendall in his home
county, his plurality two years ago be-
ing 50S. All the republican county
ticket is elected except the sheriff
and one member of board. Geo. w.
Godfrey, formerly of Oskaloosa, is
probably the new democratic sheriff
OF Monroe county.
WapeIlo County.
Ottumwa, Nov. 9.-With 10 pre-
cincts out of 81 heard from, Kendall
has made small gains. The indica-
tons are that he will carry the county
by at least 200. Kendalps plurality
here two years ago was IT'S,
Davis County.
Bloomfield, Nov. y. Hamilton WIN
carry Davis county over Kendall BY
possibly 200 plurality. This shows a
great gain for Kendall, as Hamilton
had plurality of 597 two eyars ago.
The exact figures with one precinct
to hear from give Hamilton a plural
ity OF 213.
keokuk County.
Sigourney, Nov. 9.-Keokuk county
gave Dan Hamilton a larger compli
mentary vote than he received two
years ago. His plurality over Kendall
will be from 700 to $50. Two years
ago 1t was $50.
Jasper County.
Newton. Nov. 9.-Kendall held his
own in Jasper county and will have
about 375 plurality over Hamilton.
Two years ago his plurality was 1865.
Poweshiek County.
Grinnell, Nov. 9.-Kendall will have
a plurality of at least 600 over Ham
ilton. This is practically the same as
it was two years ago.
Recapitulation.
The pluralities in the several coun.
ties will foot up as follows:

his associates through with him. His
plurality in New York city Is 100000,
divided as follows, among the Ave
boroughs, all of which he carried:
Manhattan and the Bronx, $4,000;
Brooklyn, $4,000; Queens, 10000;
Richmond, 1000. If the Republicans
could have come down to the Bronx
with anything like normal plurality
Henry A. Stimson would have been
elected easily. Governor Hughes two
years ago brought to the New York
city line a plurality Of over $4,000.
Stimsons plurality north OF the Bronx
Is estimated at about $4,000.
Upstate Springs Surprise.
John A. Hopper. the independence
league candidate for governor, re-
ceiyed approximately $4,000 votes.
Forty thousand of these were cast in
New York city, the rest up the state.
William Randolph Hearst, the indie,

ant governor, ran considerably ahead
Of his ticket. His vote In New York
city is estimated at about $4,000 His
vote north Of the Bronx, 5000, or a
total of $4,000.
Dix did not receive anything like
the vote that the Democrats expected
for him in New York city: 1t was con-
ildently predicted that he would go tc
the Bronx with 10000. His failure
to reach anything like this figure is
attributed to the activities of the In.
dependence league In this city. There
was little or no Independence league
campaign outside Of New York city.

In addition to the victory won by
the Democrats In the congressional

Des Moines, Nov. Especial:
Returns still too incomplete to
make positive statement as to
election of governor. Reports
show ten congressman elected
and that legislature ID republi-
can. Vote seems to be very spot
ted throughout state, and rural
vote must be known in order to
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 it.
In my judgment, under existing
conditions nothing further could
have been done to stem the tide.
