MIXED RESULTS OF
BATTLE OF BALLOTS
THROUGHOUT UNION
Republicans Meet With Succ asses in New York
and New Jersey While Democrats Win
Victories in Massachusetts
and Kentucky.
TOSS IS REELECTED IN The BAY STATE
The Net Result is that Neither Party Has Won a treat Victory
Either in the Nation orin any City or State. 1t is aDrawn Battle.

1t was from New York State, how
ever, that the remarkable results
came. The great surprises came from
the Bronx, which elected four republl-
can Assemblymen, and from Kings
and Queens, which, despite the Judlcl-
airy scandal, failed to roll up IN
great majcrities against the demo
cratic ticket. New York county, with
it's meagre plurality for the Tammany
nominees, did just about what the
leaders of the democracy, who look
at things from the inside, expected 1t
would.
Startling surprises came from many
parts of New York State. In the city
Of Auburn, Cayuga county, Thomas
Mott Osborne, democratic reformer,
was defeated in his candidacy for
Mayor. Even the workers in the re-
publican party had felt that his cleo
ton was insured.
Despite the "Lexowing' of Albany,
William Barnes, Jr, carried the city
for his Mayorality candidate, James
B. McEwen, and elected all three
Assemblymen by increased MAORI
ties.
The Republicans lost a district in
Westchester County and one in Rens-
selaer County. Aside from that, the
territory outside New York City rep
resented almost unbroken gains for
the Republicans as compared with
last year. 1t might fairly be termed a
landslide.
The LIST Assembly District of Onei-
da County, which normally is heavily
Democratic, was carried by the Re-
publicans. Clinton County, for two
years a Democratic county, elected a
Republican Assemblyman, while most
Of those upstate counties which On
last years Democratic wave sent Re
publican Assemblymen to the Capitol
by a small margin, safely and
certainly Republican this year.
Among them were Cayuga, Columbia,
Delaware, a district in Jefferson, Lew
is, Montgomery, Otsego, Saratoga.
Tioga, Suffolk. Herkimer, despite the
prospect of a Republican falling off
because of a factional fight over the
nomination, went Republican, electing
Theodore Douglas Robinson, Colonel
Roosevelt's nephew.
In New York City, Tammany elect
ed it's entire county ticket in Manhat-
tan and the Bronx, including Julius
Hamburger for Sheriff, Robert Fowler
for Surrogate, Francis M. Scott ION
both tickets), Daniel F. Cohalan, Fran
els K. Pendleton and Henry D. Hotch-
kiss for Justices of the Supreme Court.
Tammany lost control of the Board
of Aldermen.
In Kings County the usion forces
made a clean sweep not only in the
county offices but by electing the three
Judges to the Supreme Court in that
department.
Clarke, Democrat, for District-Attor
ney of Kings county, was defeated de-
cisively by Cropsey. the Republican
Fusion candidate. Cropsey carried
with him Law for Sheriff, Dewey for
County Clerk and O'Laughlin for Reg
lister.
The Republicans regained control OIL
the State Legislature by electing in
the neighborhood of ninety of the 15(
members of the Legislature. In Man
haitian and the Bronx and in Brooklyn
the Republican Fusion forces made
extensive gains, while in the upstate
districts the Democrats lost several
districts, some of which were repre-
scented by insurgent Democrats. Tam
many lost sever districts in Manhat
tan and the Democratic organization
in Brooklyn five of six. One Socialist
was elected to the Assembly.
The most surprising feature of the
result is the increase in the Socialist
vote. There are not enough returns
at hand to show it's total increase, but
it has swept Schenectady and put the
Democrats in the third column in
Chautauqua County.
In Schenectady the Socialists have
elected as Mayor DR.. George r. Lunn
a clergyman and editor, by a majority
amounting to two-thirds of the total
vote cast; they have carried the Com
mon Council, which has been Republi
a for years, and they have elected
their whole ticket, with the exception
of one candidate. They have also elect
ed an Assemblyman, the first to ap
