ELECTION
RESULTS
Victories Equally Divided
. Between Old Parties---
New Mex. Democratic

4 SANTA FEE, Nov. 8.-Returns up to
o'clock this morning indicate a COM
plete triumph for the Democratic tick
ct in New Mexico. The so-called "blue
ballot" amendment to the new state
constitution, designed to make that
instrument subject to amendnant at
any time, carried by vote of two to
one. The Interests" fought the
amendment tooth and nail, claiming
that its adoption would retard the ma
terial progress of New Mexico. Had
the blue ballot failed the constitu-
ton could not have been amended for
twenty-five years.
PUEBLO, Nov. S.-With only twen-
ty-four of the thirty-six precincts in
the city heard from, not one of the
fifty-ive candidates for commissioner,
at the election here yesterday, is as
sured victory. Alderman Thomas Dom
nelly is leading with a margin of
two hundred and fifty votes over his
nearest rival, Victor Trevest, at this
time.
The following are the results of
state elections held yesterday and re-
ceived by Western Press:

The election returns from Virginia
and various states today, clear up
some uncertainty apparent in late re-
ports yesterday. In Massachusetts
Governor Eugene N. Foss, Demo-
crat, will be the head of the state
for another year, but will be surround
ed by Republican state officials.
Returns at Albuquerque, N. NJ, in
dicate a triumph for the Democratic
party. This is the first election ever
held in New Mexico which is new
state. Republicans, however, hope to
control the legislature and elect two
United States senator's.
From Maryland the returns are
coming in slowly, but at 8 o'clock the
election of Phillip Lee Goldsborough,
the Republican candidate for governor
is apparent.
There were reversals from the Re-
publican to the Democratic party in
Kentucky and Ohio. The state legis-
lature will have Democratic majority
of over 85, sufficient to insure the
election to the United States senate
of Congressman Oil James. The mu-
r nicipal elections in Ohio resulted in
the election of George K. Karb, a
Democrat, in Columbus. Democratic
mayors are elected in Cincinnati and
Cleveland.
Two states, New York and New
JersAs, replaced Democratic assem-
blies with Republican. New York
elected an assembly that will have a
Republican majority greater than the
present Democratic majority in the
lower branch Of the legislature. Re-
pnhlicans will hold the assembly by
upwards of so, as against the present
Democratic majority of "a. New York
city went Republican, generally speak
ing, and at best Tammany retained
- grip only on Manhattan and the
BJonx, losing Brooklyn and the con-
troll of the board of aldermen. In
New Jersey the Republicans will have
control of both houses. A Democrat
ic governor and state officers were
elected in Mississippi and Repub-
lican executive was chosen in Rhode
Island.
