OHIO AGAIN ELECTS HARMON
Political Tidal Wave Sweeps the
Country-New York, Massachusetts,
Ohio, New Jersey and Connecticut
Democratic.

Chicago, Nov. The elections held
throughout the country Tuesday re-
suited in a political convulsion of far
reaching effect, similar at many points
to the famous tidal wave of 1882 and
apparently more widespread in it's ef-
feet.
The indications toward midnight
were the national house of represen-
tatlves had. been carried by the demo-
Gratis, reversing the present republi-
can majority of fortythree.
The United States senate will prob
ably have reduced republican major
ity as result of legislative elections
held in many states.
In New York John A. Dix, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, was
elected over Henry L. Stimson, re-
publican, by plurality of about co.
600, reversing the republican plural
ity of 10000 in 1908 for Governor
Hughes.
In New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson,
democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Vivian M. Lewis, repub-
lican, by about $4,000 plurality, re-
versing the previous republican plur-
ality of 5000 for Governor Fort.
6ay state Lost to q. o. p.
In Massachusetts. Eugene N. Foss,
democratic candidate, has defeated.
Governor Eben S. Draper, republican,
for reelection by about 10000 plural
ity, reversing Governor Drapers for
mer plurality of 5000.
In Connecticut, Judge Simeon H.
Baldwin, democrat, is elected COVER
nor over Charles A Goodwin, repub-
lican, by about 1000 plurality, revers-
ing the previous republican plurality
Of about 10000.
In Ohio, Governor Judson Harmon,
democratic candidate for reelection,
appears to have carried the state by,
about $4,000 over Warren G. Hard
ing republican.
In New Hampshire, Robert P. Bass.
republican candidate for governor, is
| leading c. E. Carr, democratic can
Ididate, by about 6,0OO plurality.
In Pennsylvania the election of John
K. Tener, republican candidate for
governor, is claimed by a large plur-
ality.
Rhode Island Holds Fast.
In Rhode Island Governor Pothier,,
republican candidate for reelection,
is slightly in the lead over Lewis A..
waterman, democrat, with plural
lty much reduced from that of 1909.
In Tennessee the fusion candidate,
Ben w. 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.
srnor, but this is not yet conceded.
In Wisconsin the election of the re-
publican candidate for governor, Fran
els 3. McGovern, is claimed by re-
1uced majority and the return of SEN

HARMON W...s IN OHIO.
Democratic Governor Reelected by
larueIy Increased Plurality.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 9.-Judson Har-
mon, democrat, was reelected COVER
nor of Ohio by largely increased
plurality, according to returns from
about 250 precincts of the 1926 in the
state. Even the approximate figures
are still in doubt, owing to consid-
cradle switch in various districts of
The state. Two years ago he was exec
ted by 19,oll. In fifteen Cleveland
precincts Harmon shows a gain Of
fourteen votes to a precinct, PARTLY
overbalancing the republican gain Of
thirty to precinct in Cincinnati. The
complexion of the legislature is still
in doubt, but indications are it will
be close.
The rural districts are showing
large democratic gains.

Twenty Thousand.

Omaha, Neb.. NoV. 9.-With half of

dications are that Nebraska has gone
democratic by large majority. Re-
turns point TO the election of Gilbert
Nj. Hitchcock, democrat, for United
States senator by majority of over 20
300. The gubernatori3l result will not
likely be known for twenty-four hours,
the result being very close at 1000.

was defeated. The governor, himself,
went home at $3.50 o'clock His rep
resentatives, however, never gave up
the claim that he would be found to
have won when the final returns
came in.
1t was apparent that the remainder
of the republican state ticket would
be elected unless unexpected slumps
showed up in the unexpected places.
The expected slaughter of Thorne
and Cosson was apparent in some
sections of the state, but did not pos
sess the size that it was thought the
cut would attain.
The slow voting of the day was fol-
lowed by delay in reporting the re-
suit. The dispatches disclosed the
fact that only now and then was .
straight ballot cast.
Pepper Wins in Second.
1t was apparent early that the Sec.
ond district was lost to the republi-
cans, unless a better showing was
made in other counties than was
made in Sect, and the democrats re-
newed confidently their claim that /.
S. Pepper was elected over Charles
Grilk.
In the Sixth district the returns
We're so meager that definite pre-
d1ction could not be made early, but
it was believed that Kendall would
be elected.
s. F. Prouty was elected in the
Seventh by about 2,500splurality over
Clint l.. Price. He carried PolA
county by about 1900 and got War
rem, Dallas and Story at least, and
possibly Madison.
Smith was elected in the Ninth,
Towner in the Eighth and Kennedy
in the First. Haugens election IS m
doubt.
In the city of Des Moines Porter
won by about 600 plurality, but it
was believed that this would be wiped
out in the country. The city gave
Prouty a small plurality.
In Polk county in forty-one pre-
cincts Carroll got 4,125 and Porter
1906. There is no comparison pos
sible, for the precincts have been
divided. Two years ago, however,
Carroll carried Polk county by s.
900.
In Polk county Palmer for railroad
commissioner got 1924, Thorne
391 and Dewey $3.50 in thirty nine
precincts.

Democrats Also Gain in Legislature
But Lodge Yet Uncertain.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 9.-With the
high cost of living and the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill and certain labor
measures as the principal issues, the
democrats won the state election and
placed Congressman Eugene N Foss,
a former republican, in the chair oc-
cupied by Governor Draper for the

came near carrying their victory along

10 0TcdIIy nSQQCeO.
New York, Nov. 9.-John A. Dix, a
business man and the first democratic
nominee elected in sixteen years, will
be the next governor of New York.
He was chosen by the people over
Henry L. Stimson, republican, for
whom Theodore Roosevelt stumped the
state, by plurality based on nearly
complete returns of from $1,000 to 65,-
300. New York City gave him a plur.
ality of more than 100000 while Slim
son came down to the Bronx with
about 10000, leaving substantial
lead for the democratic nominee.
Thomas F. Conway, the democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor, ap-
pears to have swept into of ,e only
slightly behind Mr. Dix
Returns were lacking to low who
takes the lesser state Off but in
dications pointed to democ is.
Both the assembly and senate re-
turns ran strongly democratic, and
there were some notable upsets in
even the congressional districts.
Representative Herbert Parsons, a
lifelong friend and political associate
Of Theodore Roosevelt and formerly
chairman of the republican county
committee, was ousted by Jefferson NJ.
Levy.
coIoneIs Home Seat Goes.
Representative W. w. Cocks, of Mas
sau county, Theodore Roosevelt's home
seat, was tipped out by Martin Little
ton. William S. Bennett was defeated
for congress by Henry George, a son
OF the political economist. Serene
fayne, father of the tariff bill, was re-
elected, but his home town, Auburn,
went for Dix, and Vice President Sher-
mans candidate for congress was de-
feated by a democrat. Representative
Hamilton Fish, republican, gave
ground to Richard E. Connell, demo
crat. Not only did Colonel Roosevelt
lose on the state ticket, and his can.
