RtBUkF FOR GOVERNOR DIX
Tammany Hall Elects Judiciary
Ticket in New York City, But
Are Defeated in Brooklyn
and Kings County.

New York, Nov. S.--The RepuhE-
cans in the state OF New York have
captured the only redoubt that was
possibel to capture in this election.
The only state ticket in the field was
the assembly ticket for election TO
the lower house of the state legisla-
ture.
year ago-the Democratic land
slide year-the New York assembly
stood 81 Democrats to So Republicans.
This year the assembly will stand:
Republicans, 1902; Democrats, AZ;
Socialists, /.
This means singing rebuke. ap-
parently, to the administration of Gov
ernor Dix In spite of Democratic pro-
testations TO the contrary, the peo-
pie of the state seem to agree that.
with all departments of the state gov
erAHsnt in the hands of the Demo
ssats. little or nothing has been &C
csMplished. 1t is probably for this
n0assa, more than any other, that
thDee has been such a marked rever-
sal over the result of last year. In
passing. 1t may be observed that many
Republicans will regard the winning
of the assembly as of doubtful value,
In view of the presidential and more
important state election In 1912. To
be sure the Republican assembly can
checkmate a Democratic senate and
make 1t impossible for the Democratic
governor to either veto or approve.
But the Republican party must as
sumo the responsibility of the acts of
a Republican assembly and, therefore.
many old and tried Republican leaders
in the state did not hesitate to say
before that they thought it would be
better politics ii the Democrats won
again this year, and the entire respon-
sibility, therefore, placed with the
Democratic party.
In New York city there has been a
final fight between the allied forces
of the Republican party and those fol-
lowing the lead of William Randolph
Hearst against a straight-out Tam.

Ohio was another winning ground
for the Socialists. The returns secured

Socialist nominees were not elected.
progressives of more or less radical

In Mississippi the Socialist candidate
for lieutenant governor came within

In the Second Kansas congressional
district, where successor to :, late
Congressman Mitchell was elected, the
Socialists made extensive gains.
In several other states, among them

were predicted.
