Senator Mclean spoke at consider

He reviewed the contests in careful
detail and summarized by saying
Honest men may differ as to the fair

RETI1RNS INDICATE GAIN IN
CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
Goodwin, Republican, Has Apparently Wrested
Seatfrom Representative Gould Legislature
Believed to Be Republican by Small Ma
jority, Insuring Election of Senator

ment in favor of Roosevelt until after
electlon. Some of them will take the
stump within II few days against
President Taft.
The democrats went into the state
struggle this fall on the defensive,
having won control of the state go"
eminent in the election of 1910. They
based their campaign almost wholly
on national issues, although defending
their course in the State iministra-
ton.
The progressive element of the re-
publicans was In full control of party
machinery. but with the approval OF
Col. Roosevelt, a split was postponed
until after to-day's struggle. Many OF
the leading state speakers in the cam =
paiCn. which ended with the election
to day, announced tonight that they
were no longer in the republican
ranks. but would take the stump i'm
mediately for Colonel Roosevelt for
president.
The republican organization was
able to bring out a greater vote for
Haines in to-day's contest than was
given for Fernald. the party candidate
who was defeated two years ago
while the democratic vote for Plaisted
showed a falling off from that of 1910
| The struggle in the four congress
sional districts was fully as interest
| ing as that two years ago In the
first district, Congressman Ashner c
Kinds. the only outspoken Taft candi'
date in the election, showed an In
lcrease in his vote of two years ago
and first returns seemed to indicate
his reelection over NJ. #. O'Brien, hi:
democratic opponent.
The fight in the second district was
close but the early returns indicated th'
recollection of Congressman d. j. Nc
Gillicuddy. democrat by reduced
margin over VIM. b. Shelton, republi
can.
In the third district Congressman
Samuel w. Gould. democrat. who wo,
two years ago. had apparently been de
feated for recollection, on the face o
the early returns, by Forrest Goodwin

was another close fight between Con
gresham Frank T.. Guernsey, republi
can. and Chas. W. Mullen, democrat
with the first cities and towns hear
from placing the former in the lead.

Vedrines started before any of his
competitors were out and then rested
in his hangar wnile the American
contestants withdrew.
The only semblance of race came
hours after Vedrines had alrghted
