New York.-John A. Dix Of Wash
ington county, the Democratic cand1-
date for governor of the state OF
New York, has been elected by a
plurality which when all the returns
are in, will probably reach $4,000.
With falling off in the Republican
vote estimated at % per cent above
the Bronx and II per cent in New
York city and a falling off of per
cent in the Democratic vote upstate,
Dix's plurality is about 1000 more
than that obtained by Gov. Hughes
in 1908.
Col. Roosevelt's home election dis
trict, the Fifth of Nassau county,
was carried by Dix by a plurality of
60.
Although he ran considerably
ahead of his ticket, Dix managed to
carry his associates through with
him. His plurality in New York
City is estimated at about 100, 900,
divided as follows: Among the five
boroughs, all of which he carried;
Manhattan and the Bronx $1,000.
Brooklyn $4,000 Queens $4,000,
Richmond 5000.
IF the Republicans could have come
down to the Bronx with anything like
normal plurality, Henry A. Slim
son would have been elected easily.
Gov. Hughes two years ago, brought
to the New York City line a plurality
of over 129, 900 majority. Stimson's
plurality north of the Bronx is es-
timated at about $4,000.
John A. Hopper, the indepen-
dence league candidate for governor,
received approximately 1000 votes.
Forty thousand of these were cast
in New York City, the rest up the
state
William Randolph Hearst, the In
dependence league candidate for lieu
tenant 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
at 5000 or total of $4,000.
Dix did not receive anything like
the vote that the Democrats ex-
pected for him in New York City. It
was confidently predicted that he
would go to the Bronx with $50, 900
votes.
The Democratic victory was
widespread. Not only in New York,
but Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and probably
Iowa went Democratic.
Nebraska went Democratic and it
was remarked that this first clean
cut Democratic victory in that state
was made in a year when William
Jennings Bryan bolted the ticket.
The indications are that the Dem
ocrats will control the sixty-second
congress by a small majo ~ity. There
are at present 217 Republicans and
TIA Democrats in the lower house.
New York City sends three Demo-
Gratis in place Of Republicans, Brook
Ign sends two and the Utica district
sends one from Vice-president Sher-
mans home in place of Congressman
Wilmington. There are gains of one
in Kentucky, one in North Carolina,
one in Connecticut and two in May
land These with the two recently
elected from Maine and one elected
in Louisiana and one in Texas added
to number whom the Democrats are
confident they have won, although
the vote is close, give the Democrats
control of the lower house.
Judson Harmon's victory in Ohio
is the most emphatic Of any of the
many gained by the DEMOCRATS his
plurality over. Warren G.. Harding
Republican, is about 10000 and may
be greater. Harmon carried the city
of Cleveland by $4,000, but suf-
fered some reverses in the other parts
of Cuyahoga county. His plurality
in the county is about 10000. In 1908
he carried the county by 1900. In
Hamilton county, of which Cincinnati
is part, Harmon sustained loss OF
1000 from his vote of 1908. He car
ried the county by $4,000, receiving
a plurality of 5000 two years ago.
In Pennsylvania John G. Tener..
the Republican, was elected governor
by plurality of from $4,000 to TO-
600.
