New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Other
Leading STATES Switch in Their
Political Allegiance.
DEMOCRATS HAVE 63 MAJORITY In HOUSE, AND
WILL MAKE BIG GAINS In SENATE.

The Democratic party i'm the coun-
try at large has won it's first great
victory since the election of Grover
Cleveland to the Presidency in 1892.
II has elected governors in New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut and Ohio; has upset the Repub-
lican majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives and has insured a greatly
reduced majority in the United States
Senate
John A. Dix was elected Governor
of New York State, and on January |,
for the first time since 1894, a Demo-
crat will be at the head of the State
Government. With the election of Mr.
Dix and all of his associates on the
State ticket and the Legislature Dem
Ccratic, Theodore Roosevelt met the
most crushing defeat of his political
career.
Returns indicate the election of Mr..
Dix by more than $4,000, and the rest
of the State ticket will not run more
than 10000 behind. Every county in
the State shows falling off from the
Hughes vote of two years ago, and
every county placed it's stamp of dis
approval on the leadership of Colonel
Roosevelt. w.
Latest returns indicate a Demo-
cratic majority in the Legislature of
Il on joint ballot, insuring a Demo
crat to succeed Chauncey nj. Depew i'm
the United States Senate
Col. Roosevelt lost his own election
district by 60, his own county, of
Nassau by 300, and probably his own
Congressional district Martin w.
Littleton, Democratic candidate for
Congress, had a plurality in the Col
onels county over Representative
Cocks, who was often a spokesman OF
Col. Roosevelt when the Colonel was
President. Returns ata this hour in
dlcate Mr.. Littleton's election by just
about the plurality he received in Col.
Roosevelt's own county.
Senator Beveridge, according to re-
turns now at hand, was defeated in
Indiana by John w. Kern, and II out
OF the 13 Congressional districts i'm
Indiana went Democratic.
There will be two Socialists from
Wisconsin in the House. They will
probably affiliate with the Insurgent
Republicans. .n-mlM..
The solid delegation from Connecti-
cut is broken, one Democrat coming
from the Second district. Delaware
remains in the Republican column.
Illinois makes big change. Accord
ing to late reports the delegation will
stand 16 to 8 in favor of the Demo-
Gratis.
The Republicans lost one in Ken
lucky.
eugene N. Foss, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, was elected by
3o,OOO votes. Two, and perhaps three,
congressional districts which have
Deen Republican selected Democratic
representatives, and at least IL ad-
altlonal seats in the State Legislature
nave been captured.
The entire Democratic State ticket,
headed by Gov. Judson Harmon, stands
elected as the result of a Democratic
landslide which put Ohio, Taft's own
State, in the first rank i'm the progress
slVe movement against the Taft Ad-
mlnlstration and standpatism. The
State Legislature appears to be safely
democratic, which means that Demo-
crat will be elected to succeed Sena-
tor Dick. The Democrats also appar-
ent!y carried the Congressional dele
gduon, getting from 12 to Ia Of the 21
Representatives. Gov. Harmon was
elected by $4,000.
