RESULT OF ELECTION.


and probably Iowa.
The next house of representatives
will De Democratic by about AZ votes.
\ The Republicans will continue to con-
troll the senate by majority OF six.
In Wisconsin Francis E. Nc Govern,
Republican candidate for governor,
and his associates on the state ticket
including Levi H. Bancroft, were elect
ed by pluralities which in the case OF
all the candidates except Mr.. Bancroft
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Mr.. Bancroft will run behind the rest
of the ticket but will pull in by proba-
bly, about 10000 votes.
The election was peculiar. The Dem
ocratic gains were largely in the lake
shore counties and the southern tier of
counties Such formerly strongly Re-
publican counties as Kenosha, Fayette
and Iowa cut the Republican ticket
numerically, in some instances, as in
the case of Kenosha going as.high as
| 800 Democratic.
All the lake shore counties gave
Adolph j. Schmitz good vote and
could he have held up the gains he
made there and in Southern Wisconsin
and in Marathon county, he would have
swept the state. Northern and North
western Wisconsin did not, however,
show any such response to Democratic
sentiment as did Southern Wisconsin
and the lake shore counties, and the
gains did not show up there in sutlic-
lent strength to be material. Milwau-
kee county's Social Democratic victory
also cut off from Mr.. Schmitz a mater
ial source of strength and as a result
Mr.. Nc Govern obtained his election by
a comfortable plurality, but by no
means such figures as have been shown
in the elections of the last decade.
The Wisconsin delegation in the
house of representatives will probably
stand nine Republicans, one Democrat
and one Socialist.

The state Senate is Republican. OF
the nineteen new senators elected the
Republicans will have sixteen, fourteen

Col Roosevelt's candidate for COVER
nor, in New York, Henry L. Stimson
was defeated, and John A. Dix was
elected governor. The rest of the
Democratic ticket was also elected.
Dix's plurality is estimated at $1,000,
Greater New York, which gave Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler nearly 10000 two
years ago. has given Dix about 10000
Every important upstate city, with
the exception of Rochester and SYRIA
cuse, was carried by Dix. Greater New
York is normally Democratic, but it
was the reduced Republican pluralities
upstate conservative farmers and
the silent voters who were counted up
on to aid Stimson-that helped defeat
Col Roosevelt's candidate as much as
the business interests of Greater New
York and elsewhere who fought him
tooth and nail.

welt and his personal party the new
nationalism. The legislature will be
safely Democratic and Democrat will
be elected to succeed Chauncey Depew
in the United States senate.
