NEW YORK. Nov. S.-John A. Dix
Democrat, has been elected governor
of New York over Henry L. Stimson
Republican, by approximately 6S,OO(
plurality.
New York city gives Dix plurality
of more than 100000 which more than
offsets the greatly reduced plurality OF
the Republicans upstate.
Below Mr.. Dix on the ticket the re-
suit is uncertain, although tending to-
ward Democratic success.
The complexion of the legislature
which will select successor to Chaun-
cey M. Depew will be settled only by
more complete returns, although ii
seems probable that the Republicans
will have a working majority.
Theodore Rooseyelt's home district in
Oyster Bay, L. l., gave Dix a plurality
of 204, as against plurality of 793 for
Hughes in 1908.
In Utica Charles A. Talcott, Demo-
crat, defeated Charles S. Millington,
Vice President Shermans nominee for
congress, by 3768.
Thomas F. Conway, Democratic nom-
inee for lieutenant governor, appears to
have been swept into office only slight
ly behind Mr.. Dix.
NORMAL MAJORITY REDUCED
The normal Republican majority up
state was greatly reduced. Inclement
weather tended to cut down the rural
vote and Stimson's estimated plurality
to the borders of New York city-about
40, ,00O-is less by $4,000 than the up
state vote polled by Hughes in 1908.
There were notable upsets in the con-
gressional districts. Representative
Herbert Parsons, a lifelong friend and
political associate of Theodore Roose-
velt, was ousted by Jefferson M. Levy.
Representative w. w. Cocks of Mas
sau county, Theodore Roosevelt's
home seat, was tipped out by Martin
Littleton.
William S. Bennett was defeated for
congress by Henry George, jr., son of
the political economist.

ENSHROUDs
RESULTS IN IOWA
Aggressive Democratic Campaign
Wipes Out Nominal Repub-
Iican Majority 10000

/ DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 9.-At
midnight both Democrats and Repub-
licans claimed the governorship, with
the Democrats showing the greater
| confidence. If Governor Carroll is re-
elected it will be by the narrowest of
margins.
Claude R. Porter, Democratic candi-
date for governor, claimed he would
carry the state by 10000.
Whatever the result, it is certain
that the aggressive campaign carried
on by the Democrats, coupled with fac
tional strife in the Republican ranks,
has wiped out the normal Republican
plurality in this state-about $4,000.
Governor Carroll was scratched mer-
cilessly, running behind his ticket in
practically every precinct.
The rest of the Republican state
ticket probably is elected.

TAFT DECLINES TO
TALK ON ELECTION
President Hears Report at Pitts

from Pauline

PITTSBURG. Nov. s.-The first news
of the complexion of election returns
from the various states was received
by President Taft when he reached this
city at IL p. m. tonight, on his way
to Washington from Cincinnati, where
he had gone to vote.
A summary of the results was placed
in the presidents hands, but he would
make no comment on them.
The unfavorable news was read in
silence. The Taft smile was gone At
last, however, the presidents face lit
up and he had a. good laugh, for the
final dispatch read like this:

DEMOCRATS SEEM TO
HAVE CARRIED OREGON
indications Are That West Has
Won for Governor

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. Sat mid
night the race for the governorship be-
tween Jay Bowerman, Republican, and
Oswald West, Democrat, seemed to
favor the latter's chances for success.
Partial returns from sixteen counties
outside of Multnomah at that hour
gave Bowerman 1116 and West 1905. In
Multnomah county Bowerman was
running behind West with indications
that the latter would carry the county
by at least 1900.
The indications are that Oregon has
gone wet by safe majority.

EIGHT Hour Union
Has Model Plant

The delegates to the Mine Work.
ers' convention at Cincinnati were
shown through the plant of the
Eight-Hour Tobacco Company. and
their reports of their treatment show
that they were given some pleasant
hours. They are enthusiastic. over
the example Of how a real union to-
bacco factory can be conducted, and
they are boosting "Eght-HouT" now.
William Roy, of Klee, prominent
delegate to the convention, in talk
ing with a Majority reported, said:
I'VE found everything strictly union
in the 'Eight-Hour' factory. and
found that all their employees who
were with them in the start were
still with them, exceptthe girls who
had left to- get married. This is In
itself sufficient indication that the
Arm treats its employees rightly. We
saw how. everybody works but eight
hours for .e day. works under sani-
tary conditions and for, the union
scale. We>tatked with number Of
the employees and they all expressed
appreciation of their conditions. 1t

ONLY MILL|ONAIRES
Can Be SENATORS
According to Senator Flint, Direct
Primary Law Prevents Him
From Running.
Fortune Estimated at $500, 900 But
Considers Himself Poor and
Wants to Retire.

Public attention again has been
directed to the question of whether
the United States Senate is place
for rich meny only. by the declaration
of Senator Frank P. Flint of Cali
fornia that he cannot afford to seek
denomination under the direct pri-
mary law. The senator figures that
it would cost him $4,000 to $4,000
to make the race next summer, and
says that he cannot afford to spend
that amount for the possibility of
election to an office paying only ST.
500 year for a six-year term. AS
he considers himself poor-his for
tune is estimated at $500,000-he
believes 1t his duty to retire from
public service and to devote his time
to providing for the future needs Of
himself and family.
The direct primary law means, ac-
cording to Mr.. Flint, as he has been
quoted in newspaper interviews, that
a candidate for the votes Of the peo-
pie in California must travel over
territory more than 1000 miles long
and take care of, politically" many
towns that can be reached only by
stage-coaeh. Of course, the senator
estimates , only legitimate expenses,
but he intimates that other candi-
dates do not so confine their expen-
ditures, and he expresses the, opin-
ion that ''if the direct primary law
is to stand, poor man can never
hope to run for the senate until after
the passage OF some extra legislation
for his protection, some corrupt prac-
tees act that will make the spend
ing of, any money whatever in cam
paigns illegal, or for the state itself
to defray the expenses"
How many very wealthy men are
there I'm the senate, which many
years ago was first called "a rich
mana club?" Not so many as might
be thought from the phrase. OF the
81 members of this august body not
more than 80 probably possess more
than $1,000, 900. And $1,OOQ.00O
does not constitute large fortune
in these days. even though most OF
us believe we. WoRld be free from
fear Of the poorhouse 1T we had it..
The multi-millionaires- these who
are estimated to have 5000, 600 or
more. are the following:
