some MORE FIGURES ON THE ELECTION
Entire State Republican Ticket Has Been Elected,
But Democrats Have Won
One Congressman

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 10.-As
indicated by the returns the river
counties and other democratic strong
holds failed to roll up the required
majority for Claude r. Porter, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, and
there is no reason to doubt Gov. B. F.
Carroll has been reelected
Unofficial returns from eighty-four
counties give Carroll an estimated ma
jority of 10,S59. There are sixteen
counties missing, four of which, Chick
asha, Allamakee, Howard and Keo-
kuk, are almost certain to go demo.
cratic. The first three are nominally
democratic. Republican leaders esti-
mate that there Is not q sufficient ma
jority in these four counties to wipe
out the indicated lead of Gov. Car
roll. The democrats claimed the elec.
tion of Porter on the basis of the first
235 precincts, which indicated that he
would have about $4,000. The returns
by counties gave a different aspect to
the estimates on precincts.
Senatorial Vacancy Bobs up.
With the probable election Of Car
roll politicians are again discussing
the senatorial vacancy caused by the
death Of Senator Dolliver, Gov. Car
roll having stated that he would ap.
point his successor Immediately after
election. In connection with the SEN
atorship, the Sioux City Trpune, John
G. Kelly's paper, in an editorial
brought out Congressman E. H. Hub.
bard, who is regarded as the pioneer
progressive Of Iowa. and who was re-
turned to congress from his district
by majority of 5000, as candidate.
In the same editorial Senator Cum
minis is suggested as presidential
timber.
GOV. Carroll has long had senatorial
aspirations and 1t is believed by poll
ticians that he will appoint some
wheelhorse of the party until the leg
lslature can elect in January, with the
understanding that he be not a can
didate before that body. This will
give the governor chance before
the legislature. In this connection w
7. Hepburn, John F. Lacey and Gerge
D. Perkins have been mentioned.
Two Democratic Congressman.
The legislature, however, will be
progressive If returns up to date are
an indication, and an effort will be
made among progressives to agree up
on candidate. Among the progress
sives mentioned are Harry Ingham
editor OF the Register and Leader:
Senator Smith, Senator Funk, Attor
ney General H. w. Byers. Warren
Garst and others.
Late returns indicate there is little
doubt that the democrats have elect
ed congressman in two districts. Pep
per Is conceded to be elected in the
second, and 1t is believed that ID. d
Murphy (dem.) has defeated G. N
Haugen, the present incumbent, ir
the Fourth. The result in the Sixth IL
very close. The other districts wen
republican. Walter I. Smiths major
ity In the Ninth has been cut to less
than 1900.
The entire republican state ticket

)ority of Thorne, candidate for rail
road commissioner. and George Cos
