candidate for governor, lost his sea,
yesterday in the lower House, anc
Hamilton Fish was defeated for re.
election as the Republican candidate
In the Twenty-first New York Congress
sional district.
Another unusual feature of the vot-
ing In the East was the fact that in
many of the big cities the Republicans
gained, while they lost in the country.
In New York States for instance, the
early returns from the upstate cities
seemed to indicate the election of
a Republican governor. The story
changed as soon as the returns from
tho rural districts began TO come in.
In Ohio, similarly, Harmon, the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate, lost
heavily in the cities and gained in the
country. The Republican leaders here
explain this as due to the hostility OF
the labor vote tt the Democratic can
didate.
Summed up, the results of the more
important State election were as fol-
lows:
Democratic Alabama, Connecticut
Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts,, New
ada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio
Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas.
northumberland, Delaware, Ida
no, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, North Dakota, Penn
sylvania. Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Tennessee and Wisconsin.
Doubtful-Iowa.
One of the most astonishing over
turns was in the rock-ribbed Republi-
con Ctofa ne hIac.ool,-14A- -.
Eugene N. Foss, Democrat, has a. ma
jority of 10000. The long-contested
split In the Democratic nominating con-
v~ention had appeared to indicate q
State of disruption which rave the
Republicans great hope, but voters
seemed to have forgotten this at the
polls. Foss's campaign was made on a
straightout tariff issue. The Massa-
chusetts Legislature is Republican and
Will reflect Senator Lodge.
Connecticut has elected a Democratic
governor for the first time since 1893
in the person of Judge Simeon E. Bald
win. The chief feature of Judge Bald
wins campaign was his long-drawn-
out controversy with Colonel Roose-
welt over their respective views OF
compulsory compensation for working
men injured in industrial accidents
Judge Baldwin's plurality over Charles
A. Goodwin is about 5000. The rest
of the State officiary will be Republi-
can.
New England Results.
The Republicans lost heavily in
Rhode Island, rejecting Governor
Aram j. Pothier by a .scant twelve
hundred votes, as against his plurality
of about twelve thousand In the last
election. Senator Aldricn's successor
will be Republican.
New H~ampshire's new governor is
Robert P. Bass, Republican, who wor
the nomination on a Progressive plat
form. Diminished Republican plurali-
ties were the rule throughout the State
Pennsylvania appears, on late re-
turns, to have elected John K. Tener
the straight Republican candidate, by
a reduced plurality. Berry, Democrat
running on the Keystone Independent
! ticket, led him a hard fight all along
the line.
Tennessee elected a fusion candidate
Ben w. Hoover, by a generous margin
| Michigan was overwhelmingly In favol
of Chase S. Osborn, the Republican
nominee, while Wisconsin chose Fran
els e. McGovern, Republican. by a re
duced plurality.
Among the most interesting situa'
lions this morning were the close re
turns from the Legislature elections il
Ohio and Indiana. In the former Stat
the election of a Democratic successor
to Senator Dick appeared a possibility
while in the latter Senator Beveridge'i
fate seemed to be hanging in the bal
ance.
