tsEsIDENT TAFT RAN SECOND

- New York. Nov. s.-woodrow
Wilson won the electoral vote OF
New York and William Sulzer was
elected Governor with the largest
Democratic majorities since Grover
Cleveland was elected Governor in
1892. Both the Presidential and
gubernatorial nominees will have
a plurality y at least 10000.
1t was til division of the Repub-'
lican party that enabled the DEM
ocrats to win this victory, and will
give them the control of the New
York Legislature by two-thirds
vote. Governor Wilson did not
hold the Bryan vote of four. years
ago. but the Democratic loss. was
insignificant compared with the d.
vision of the. Republican vote.
President Taft ran second in New
York and II the election furnished
one great real surprise 1t was in the
small vote for Theodore Roosevelt.
The Bull Moose landslide did not
materialize, and in the Industrial
cities up the State he did not get
nearly the vote the leaders of his
sparty predicted. and which the
democrats and Republicans feared
he would receive. -ssf
President Taft was the stronger
up the State. Mr.. Roosevelt in New
York City. and the vote for Cover
nor was in about the same ratio as
that for President. 'ef-
There Is little doubt that Job
Hedges will run second for Cover
nor, and the Republican party will
continue as a major party and be
entitled to the prestige and the pat
sronage that goes with that position.
. Governor Wilson and Mr.. Sulzer
both carried New York City by
about 10000. Charles r. Murphy
had promised the Democratic Ma
tional Committee $4,000 for Gov
ernor Wilson, and the Tammany
men were rejoicing tonight that no
Z charge could be made that they
had not given the ticket loyal sup
port. But what was more surpris-
y ing than the vote In the city was
that in the Republican strongholds
up the State. For the first time
since the Cleveland victory. 30
years ago, that part of the State
went Democratic.
y Not one of the Republican over
lords could hold his Republican
plurality. william Barnes, Jr.. did
better than any of the others. for
Albany county gave President TAFT
approximately 5000 plurality. and
the Roosevelt vote was small.
Erie county went strong for both
the Democratic State and national
ticket, and in that section OF the
State Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr., Straus
We're second,
Rochester went Democratic for
/. the first time in years. Governor
Wilson had plurality of 1900 and
Z, Mr.. sulzer led Mr.. Hedges by 250.
But little better was done in SYRIA
cuse. The third party drew enough
votes from the Republicans in each
of those strongholds to give the
Democrats an advantage.
1t was westchester where the
Republicans suffered the most.
Four years ago William L. Ward.
then National Committeeman. saw
his baiiiwick give President Taft
plurality Of II, oo0s This year Gov
ernor Wilson hasa plurality of
more than 5000. with Mr.. Roose-
welt third. Mr., Hedges Jared even
worse for Mr.. straus ran second,
although Mr.. sulzer has COM
: Portable margin, more than any
Democratic nominee had before in
years.
Schenectady was. one of 1.-the in
dustrial cities where the Bull Moose
men had looked for q large vote
for Mr.. RcoseYelt. He received Aess
than one half OF the strength shown
by Governor Wilson, who had A.
