continuance of Governor Dix's poll
cies; q New Jersey legislature with
majorities probably not in accord
with Governor Woodrow Wilson, with
results of the state elections in Mary
land and New Mexico in doubt. This
in brief is the result of the election.
In Massachusetts,, Governor Foss,

or upward. The change removes tho
united support which both branches of
the Legislature heretofore had given
Gov. DiX's policies. In New York city

Manhattan and the Bronx being elect

Queens county were defeated by fu-

New Jersey Furnishes Surprise.
New Jersey similarly furnished a
surprise by the probable reversal of
control of the legislature, the returns
giving Republican majorities in the
senate and assembly.

Democrat, vas elected governor by a
majority estimated at 20, 900 to 100000.

elected, which insures the choice of
Congressman Ollie James as United

Returns from Maryland were in
conclusive. Claims were made of the
election of Philip Lee Goldsborough,
Republican candidate for governor, by
5000 majority over Arthur P. German,
Democrat, while counter claims of
Democratic success were made. The
constitutional amendment designed to
d~isfranchise negro voters probably
was defeated.

lumbus. President Taft cast his vote
in Cincinnati.
In New Mexico the Democratic state
committee claims the election of Mac.

first election which the new state has
held. The election of a Republican
legislature is indicated, which will
mean the election of two Republican
United States senators.

their ancient strongholds of Manhat
