with in succeeding elections.
A careful analysis of the vote shows
that Mr.. Satterlee, by polling about
5000 votes less than he did at the pri-
marieS, must have suffered as severely
as did Mayor Haynes from the inroads
of the Socialist organization. There
is no question that Mayor Haynes can
lay his defeat to the activity of Mr..
Van Lear.
Beverage Is Defeated.

LIoyd's Statement.
III oI,o IF
Democratic national congressional
committee, issued the following state
ment:
present indications are that con-
grees will be Democratic by about 80
majority. Thus far the returns indi-
cate that our prediction estimates
were about correct.
THE causes which have led to the
results of today are we'll known. 1t
is a serious rebuke to the Republican
party for it's failure to reduce the tar
if as the people believed the party
had promised. The high cost of pro-
tected, manufactured articles which
has resulted in greatly increased cost
of living has had very much to do
with producing this result. There is
general dissatisfaction with existing
political conditions and with the Re-
publican administration. This has led
to it's Reputation as far as could be
done at the polls.
"The Democratic party has won a
victory because the only hope of the
people is in it's SUPREMACY
THE Republican party has shown
by it's course that it will not enact
legislation in the interest Of the mass
es when such legislation would be to
the detriment Of the classes"
Barnes Statement.
J. Mahlon Barnes, national secre-
tary of the Socialist party, issued the
following statement:
"The Socialist party comes out of
the campaign with flying colors and
has made the gain eXpected-that is
one hundred per cent throughout the
nation.
"The vote in 1908 was $4,000. This
will be doubled. About 50 members
of state legislatures are now assured
in the states of Ohio, Wisconsin, Hi
nois, Minnesota and Massachusetts.
Three congressman are assured, Ber-
ger and Gaylord of Milwaukee, and
Bachman of the Twelfth Ohio district.
California is expected On later re-
turns to quadruple the vote of two
years ago"
Results In Iowa Doubtful.
Des Moines, Iowa. At midnight
last night 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. claimed that he would carry the
state by 10000, but more conserva-
tive estimates, based on returns from
100 precincts of 1900 placed his plur-
atty Gf any at four or five thousand.
Governor Carroll was scratched mer-
cilessly, running behind his ticket in
practically every precinct. The re-
