NEW IOlhg NV Ss-dOnA As AAhS |
the first Democratic nominee elected |
in sixteen years, will be the next |
governor of New York. He was cho-
sen by the people yesterday over
Henry l.. Stimson, Republican, for |
whom Theodore Roosevelt stumped
the state, by plurality based on
nearly complete returns, of from 3d.
600 to $1,000. New York City gave
him plurality of more than 100000
while Stimson came down to the
Bronx with about 10000.
Thomas F. Conway, Democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor, APP
pears to have been swept into office
only slightly behind Dix. Returns
were lacking late tonight conclusively
to show who takes the lesser state
offices, but indications pointed to
Democrats.
The normal Republican majority up
state was greatly reduced The in
clement weather tended to cut down
the rural vote and Stimson's estlma-
ted plurality to the borders OF New
York Clty-about 40,00O--is less by
approximately $4,000 than the up
state vote polled by Hughes in 1908.
In the same year greater New York
gave Chanler plurality of less than
$1,000.
Both the Assembly and Senate re-
turns ran strongly Democratic, and
there we're some notable upsets in
even the Congressional districts. Re
preventative Herbert Parsons a life
long friend and political associate of
Theodore Roosevelt and formerly
chairman OF the Republican county
committee was ousted by Jefferson NJ
Levy, Representative w. w. Cocks OF
Nassau county. Theodore Roosevelts
home seat, was tipped out by Martin
Littleton. William s. Bennett was
defeated for Congress by Henry
George Jr., son of the political
economist
Seneno e. Payne, father OF the tar
In bill, was reelected, but his home
town. Auburn, went for Dix, and Vice
President Sherman's candidate fol
Congress was defeated by a Demo
crat. Representative Hamilton Fish
Rep, gave ground to Richard E. Con
nell Democrat.
Not only did Colonel Roosevelt los,
on the state ticket and his candidat,
for Congress in Nassau county, bu
his home town went for Dix and thu
Democrats jubilantly shouted tina
they had beat him to a FRAGILE"
In New York City the Democrats
with one or two exceptions, held thei
own In Assembly and Senate district
and then carried the war into the en-
emy's territory. Senator George +
Agnew, Joint sponsor for the Hughe
anti-racing bills was defeated by Joh
G.. SAKE. State Senator Henry W
Hill in Buffalo was retired. The FL
tenth Assembly district, for 10 year
Republican was captured by Ashto
Parker a Democrat.
There we're even indications tina
the Democrats might seize workin
majority In the legislature and di'
tate the nomination of the next JUNO
limited States senator to succeed Sci
ator Chauncey M. Depew, but NOR
complete returns will be necessary I
settle this.
The Democrats won the election
: Massachusetts, and placed Congress
I man Eugene N. Foss former Repul
/, lican in the chair occupied by Cove
/ nor Draper for the past two year,
[ Early returns showed that the Dem'
} Gratis came very near carrying the
Z Victory along to other offices on III
> state ticket. These early return
however, did not materially seopa
|. die the chances Of the reutrn OF I'm
y ted States Senator Henry CabC
0 Lodge.
> In Rhode Island A. j. Pothier. r
= publican governor, was reelected b
s a plurality OF 1900 as against n plu
i ality OF about 10000 at the last ele
: ton, was the outcome OF close CO
{ test at the polls In this state toda
Lewis A. Waterman. Dem, was Go
r ernor Pothier's opponent. The 1
o coming General Assembly will
o largely Republican. II will choose
z successor TO United States Senate
Aldrich. The complete Republics
state ticket has been reelected al
the Democrats have gained one co
gresham and about thirty assembl
men.
y Estimates from all but FIVE OF Il
67 counties In Pennsylvania indica
3 that John X. Tenor, Rep. carried d
b state by about $4,000 plurality ov
William II. Berry, the Keystone par
: candidate. Webster Grim, DEM, II
far behind Tenor needed Philad
I phia to win and the city gave him
plurality OF 45,254.
The Democrats gained two co
gressmen, with three close distric
to hear from. The Socialists elect
their first member OF the leglslatul
! Indiana, while the early returns
/ dictate that the Democrats will ele
i their state ticket the race Is so clio
F; that the result Is doubtful The De

lature which will elect success
to Senator Beverage and retur
F. from the larger cities show that IN
