DEMOCRATS LOSE IN JERSEY
Republicans Have Clear Majorities In
Senate and House.


Trenton, N. j., Nov 9.-The latest
returns in New Jersey show that both
houses Of the next legislature will be
Republican and antagonistic to Gov
ernor Wilson and his policies.
That the situation will have a dam
pening effect on the governors presi.
dental aspirations is generally con-
ceded The detection of the Democrats
In Essex and Republican victories in
some of the smaller counties give the
Republicans control of the house and
assembly, which stands thirty-seven
Republicans to twenty-three Demo
Gratis.
The only congressional fight in the
state was in the First district, com
prising the counties of Camden, Glou-
cester and Salem, and 1t was won by
William j. Browning, Republican, of
Camden, over his Democratic oppon-
ent, Thomas M. Terrell, of Glouces
ter. Browning succeeds the late Henry
c. Loudenslager, who was Republican
representative from the First district.
The story of the legislative returns
show two features. One Is that the
progressive Republicans returned to
the party and turned away from viii
son in those counties in which they
repudiated their own party and sup
ported Wilson last fall. The other
shows that the Democrats traded off
their votes for the Wilson men run
ming for the assembly to elect Demo
cratic sheriffs. In thirteen out of sew
enteen counties electing sheriffs the
Democrats elected their candidates.
The assembly ticket of the Demo-
Gratis in those counties was badly cut
1t is commended by some of the
Democratic leaders that the intricacies
of the Geran election and registration
law, which has not proven popular in
New Jersey, is responsible in meas
ure for the Democratic defeat.
This was the law drafted at the in
stance of Governor Wilson last winter
and urged through the legislature by
the executive. 1t includes a blanket
ballot, with which New Jersey is not
familiar, and contains other elaborate
requirements as to registration and
voting which tends to make the exer-
else of the franchise a little more
difficult proposition than formerly un-
der the old registration law and the
single party ballot.
In Mercer county, the home of Gov
ernor Wilson, his assembly candidates
were all defeated and an entire Repub-
Iican assembly ticket was chosen.
