Governor Carroll, Nine Con-

DES MONIES, Nov. 9.-Returns from
81 counties out OF 80 in this state
tonight show that the republicans have
elected nine congressman and the en-
tire state ticket headed by Governor
Carroll. The latter's pluraiitLprobably
will reach $4,000.
The democrats elected I. S. Pepper to
congress from the second district. In
the fourth Congressman Haugen, pro-
gressive republican, claims TO have won
by los votes.

date for governor. led in the cities,

began to make returns today, Porter's
lead began to dwindle and Carroll
forged ahead.
The vote on Carroll shows a repub-
lican loss from two years go of about
10000.
The legislature is safely republican
with a majority of so on joint ballot.
The progressive republicans claim they
will control the party caucus by 20
votes. If this proves true, it indicates
that a man of the Cummins stamp will
be chosen to succeed the late Senator
Dolliver.

EDITORS BLAME
7. R. FOR UPSET
Foreign Newspapers Speculate
on COlonel's Future POlit-
ical influence

BERLIN, Nov. 9.-Today's newspa-
pers give much space to reports and
editorial comment upon the American
elections, which are viewed as very i'm
portant.
Nearly all OF the papers discuss the
probable effect upon Colonel Roose-
velt's future political influence.
Some express the opinion that the
new nationalism' will not figure in
party platforms for the present. Others
comment adversely on Roosevelts
chances of securing the republican
presidential nomination in 1912.
T. r. Partly Blamed
PARIS. Nov. 9.--The French press
gives prominence today to the Ameri-
can elections. The writers generally
agree that the high cost of living was
the fundamental cause of the repub
lican losses. The Temps thinks the
outcome was due partly to a split in
the republican party, for which Roose-
Welt was largely responsible, and in
a measure TO the vengeance of the
political bosses and the trusts upon
Roosevelt
However, the paper adds that ii is
difficult to foresee the future, particu-
larly whether Roosevelts chances for
the presidency have been blighted.
The Steele concludes that the repub-
lican party was hit as hard as Roose-
welt was, and attributes its overthrow
to the unpopularity of the Payne-Al-
drich law and the opposition of the
financial interests. 1t does not think
the result indicates the end of the
former presidents political influence.
