IN New Jersey DR.. Woodrow viii
son., who resigned the presidency of
Princeton university to take up the
work Of the campaign, vas swept into
the governors chair by 10000 votes,
carrying with him a democratic major
ity in the joint session of the legiala-
ture and insuring a democratic sue
CeSsOr to Senator John Kean. Most
OF New Jerseys ten congressman will
sit with the democratic majority in
the siXty-second congress,
Connecticut elected a democratic
governor for the first time since 1898,
in the person of Judge Simeon Il.
Baldwin. The chief feature of Judge
BaldWin's campaign was his long
drnWn-out con, roversy with Roosevelt
over their respective views of compul-
sorry compensation for workingmen in
iured in industrial accidents. Judge
BaldWin's plurality w Goodwin is
about 5000. The rest of the state Of
fees will be republican.
The republicans lost heavily in
Rhode Island, r~e-electing Governor
Aram ]. Pothier by a scant 1900 votes
as against his plurality of about 49,
900 in the last election. Senator Aid
rich's successor will be a republican.
New Hampshire's new governor is
Robert II. Bass, (rep.) who won the
nomination on a progressive platform.
Diminished republican pluralities were
the rule throughout the state.
Pennsylvania appears IN ate re-
---- l. 49, T-L- $780,
the straight republican candidate by
a reduced plurality. Berry (dem.),
runnig on the keystone independent
ticket, led him ahard fight all along
the line.
Tennessee elected a fusion candi-
date, Ben w. Hooper, by a generous
margin; Michigan was overwhelming
ly in favor of Chas. c. Osborn, the
republican nominee, while Wisconsin
choose Francis f. McGovern (rep.) by
a reduced plurality.
In Oklahoma returns indicated that
the democrats probably gained two
seats, due apparently to the operation
of the so-called grandfather clause,
which debarred negro republicans
from voting.
At democratic headquarters in New
Jersey it was declared the party In
that state would hold eight states,
making a gain of five.
In West Virginia reports stated the
democrats had gained in three on
gressional districts.
In North Carolina returns indicated
the democrats gain probably would in
crease to three.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1910-11-10

The republican gains were one each
in Iowa, Massachusetts. Missouri, New
York and Pennsylvania.
More complete returns from the
elections held throughout the country
Tuesday serve to emphasize rather
than diminish the democratic land
slide. There is hardly a section of
the entire nation where the republican
vote did not slump notably, and in
many cases, disastrously.
The sixty-second house of represent
tatives will be democratic by a fine
working majority, while in the United
States senate, the republicans will
have only a scant lead over their OPP
ponents.
-Four influential eastern states, New
York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New Jersey, take their places at the
head of the procession with democrat
ic governors and strong democratic
representation in their legislatures.
Ohio, too, is democratic.
The two great leaders of the re-
publican party, Taft and Roosevelt,
alike met defeat in their own states.
ROosevelt's home town of Oyster Bay
went against him; his congressional
district choose a democratic represent
tative to replace Congressman w. w.
Cocks, Roosevelt's warm personal
friend: his state repudiated by $4,000
plurality. AS an additional blow, the
New York legislature will be demo-
cratic and elect a democratic senator.
Another unusual feature of the vot-
ing in the east was the fact that in
a majority Of the Big cities the repub-
licans gained, while they lost in the
country. In New York state, for in
stance, the early returns from the up
state cities seemed to indicate the
election of a republican governor. The
story changed as soon as the returns
from the rural districts began to come
in. In Ohio, similarly, Harmon, the
democratic ~gubernatorial candidate,
lost heavily in the city and gained in
the country. The republican leaders
here explain this as due to the hos
tility of the labor vote to the demo-
cratic candidate.
Summed up, the results Of the vari-
GUS state elections were as follows:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Connectic t,
Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Ne
vada, New Jersey. New York., Ohio
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas.
Republican - Colorado, Delaware,
Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, North Dakota, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Wisconsin.
Ooubtful-Iowa and Kansas.
One of the most astonishing over
turns was in the republican state OF
Massachusetts,, where Eugene n. Foss,
democrat, had a majority Of 10000.
The long contested spit in the demo-
cratic nominating invention had ap-
pcared to indicate a state Of disruption
which gave the republicans great
hope: but the voters appeared to have
forgotten this at the polls. Foss' cam
paign was made On a s~traight-out tar
III issue. The Massachusetts legisla-
ture Is republican and will elect Se,la-
tor Lodge.

senators, or II more than the neces-
slry majority with several states still
in doubt.
The most notable changes from
those presented last night are
summed up as follows:
In Ohio a democratic Legislature has
been elected, insuring a democratic
successor to Senator Dick (rep.), and
the plurality of Governor Harmon is
increased to $4,000
The West Virginia legislature is
democratic and will elect a democratic
senator to succeed Senator Scott
Crep.).
In Indiana the legislature, which
chooses q successor to Senator Bever-
idge, is in doubt, with the democrats
claiming a majority of twelve and the
republicans maintaining that Bever-
idge will have a small margin.
Iowa is still uncertain, with both
sides claiming the governorship.
The Pennsylvania legislature is
safely republican and will elect a re-
publican to Senator Oliver.
Washington has a republican legis-
lature, which appears to insure the
election of Miles Poindexter to the
senate. The Utah legislature, which
elects a United States senator, also is
republican, while that Of Montana is
in doubt.
Indications point to the election of
the republican candidate for governor
of California, Hiram w. Johnson, by a
heavy plurality.
Incomplete returns from Oregon in
dictate the election of the democratic
candidate for governor, Oswald West,
by a small plurality. The Missouri
legislature, which elects a United
States senator, is believed to be safely
democratic. Aside from these main de-
velopments of today, the results al
ready announced remain practically
unchanged. The plurality of John A.
Dix (dem.), elected governor of New
York, approximates $1,000. Early to-
day Governor Dix left his home at
Thompson for a rest in the Adiron-
dacks. Mr.. Dix carried the entire
democratic state ticket with him to
victory.
The plurality of Woodrow Wilson
(dem.) in New Jersey is now placed at
10000 and of Judge Baldwin (dem.)
in Connecticut at $500.
The greatest gain in any one state
was in New York, where the present
delegation of twelve democrats was in
creased by ten, making the division
as to New York in the next house
twenty-five democrats and fifteen re-
publicans. The representation from
New York in the sixty-first congress
is twenty-five republicans and twelve
democrats.
The next largest increase was in
Illinois, where the democrats. on the
face of the returns, made six gains.
In Pennsylvania the democratic
gains were five. New Jersey five,
Ohio four. North Carolina two, West
Virginia two. Missouri two, Maryland
twc, Maine two. previously elected,
and one each in Connecticut, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky. Massachusetts, Okla
homa and Rhode Island.

est and most ~neighborly feeling for
them, and we believe that Tuesdays
result will go a long ways in establish
ing a better understanding between
the two towns.
The plans for the new court house
have already been accepted and it is
expected that the county commission
ers will take steps at once to adver-
tise for bids and let the contract. The
board meets next Monday to canvass
the election returns, when it is likely
the matter will be brought up. The
law requires that bids be advertised
for four weeks and the board hopes to
let the contract about the middle of
December, when it is figured the con
tractors will bid about five thousand
dollars cheaper than later in the year.
Work on the new building will un
doubtedly commence just as soon as
the weather permits in the spring.
State Returns.
South Dakota was not so much in
terested in this years campaign as
some of the eastern states and a light
vote is reported to have been cast in
al JHS tOulII1So WItle lIltIc was IO
local issue to get the people out. In
Brookings county the court house
bonds helped swell the vote and up
in Hamlin, where there was a merry
county sea- contest, a big vote was
polled. Hayti, the new town on the
South Dakota Central and near the
center of the county, wrested the
prize from Castlewood which has held
it ever since the county was organ
lied. The vote was close, Hayti, only
having sc votes more than the neces-
sary per cent.
The county option amendment is re-
ported to have been badly defeated in
the state, although later reports from
the rural districts is expected to make
a better showing for the bill. The
women's suffrage amendment is also
reported to have been badly defeated.
The state headquarters at Sioux
Falls claims the election of Governor
Vessey by 10000 majority, which is
undoubtedly a conservative estimate.
Burke and Martin for congress and
the balance of the state ticket will
have larger majorities. The democrats
concentrated most of their attack
upon Vessey and he evidently ran con-
siderably behind his ticket.
National Returns.
Democratic congressman elected,
221; republicans elected. 157; socialist
elected /; missing, IL. Total, 391.
Gain by democrats, So; gain by re
publicans, 40. Number necessary to
control, 1876. Present democratic mem
bership 172. Working majority for
democrats, 25.
The sweep of the political tidal
wave which rolled over the country
Tuesday is further emphasized by ad-
ditional returns and revised figures
at hand today.
Added 10 the reversal in the lower
branch of congress today's returns
showed the republican majority of
twenty-six in the United States senate
rapidly approaching the vanishing
point, although the republicans are
now reasonably assured of forty-eight

On Tuesday the voters of Brook
ings county ordered the building of
a new county court house and they
issued said orders in no uncertain
tones. The question of the issuance
of 500, 600 bonds was carried by a
majority of over 800. Up to last
night unofficial figures from all the
precincts but one, Lake Hendricks,
gave 1924 for and SIS against, major
ity of $40. Lake Hendricks township
only casts about fifty votes, SO there
will be very little change in the figures
way or the other.
Since the above was written the re-
turns from Lake Hendricks were re-
ceived, the vote there being 10 for
and SO against. This cuts down the
majority for the bonds 10, leaving the
figures at $50. In the table at the
head of the column will be found the
complete vote.
Bookings city made a magnificent
showing, the foul wards giving a ma
jority of $50 for the bonds. The total
vote was 644, there being 597 for and
only At against. This is a very graft
flying result and on the whole was
better than was expected. The Second
ward was the banner ward, giving the
most votes for the bonds and the few
est against, but the other wards were
close behind and the knockers were
few and far between.
The result of the city vote on the
court house was known about a half
hour after the close of the polls and
the citizens generally were very jubi-
liant, as the majority of $50 here was
of such proportions that it would re-
quire a large adverse vote outside the
city to overcome it. Most Of the
towns in the county gave a majority
against the bonds, Elkton having the
largest, 81.
The result of the vote will be that
next summer a $1,000 900 county build
ing will be erected in this city, a
building in keeping with the wealth
and importance Of the county and suffi-
GENTLY large and safe to properly are
for the valuable county records and
the transaction of the county business.
We believe that the voters Lave acted
wisely and in the best interests of
the county.
The court house returns overshad-

very little Is known of the result on
the state ticket OF the amendments.
The republican state and county tick
cts undoubtedly received the usual ma
jority and there was no fight at any
stage of the campaign. Last night
all but four precincts had been heard
from on the county option amendment
and there was a majority of six in
favor of 1t. Brookings city gave the
amendment So majority, it carrying
all but the Third ward, where there
was a majority of 20 against it. No
returns have been received on the
other amendments.
The bonds received a nice vote in
Volsa, very much better than in many
other parts of the county, and this
fact will be much appreciated in
Brookings. In the last two months
there has been many stories afloat as
to the hostility OF Voiga people to the
court house bonds and of enmity be-
tween the two towns, but by return
ing a nice vote Tuesday Volga effect
ually branded them as lies. We can
assure the good people of Volga that
Brookings has nothing but the kindii-
