FIELDER WINS JERSEY
BY 1900 PLURALITY
Feature of Contest the Light
Vote PoIIed by Colby,
Progressive.

TRENTON, y. J.. November 1.-The
latest figures indicate that James +.
Fielder democratic candidate for gov
ernor, had plurality of about 22,0O0
over Edward c. Stokes, the republican
candidate. The democrats will control
both houses Of the legislature.
There Is some doubt as to the result
Of the contest for state senator in Ocean
county. but without this county the
democrats will have eleven of tho TWEEN
ty-one senators.
Practically complete figures SHOW that
the assembly will be thirty-slx democrats
to twenty-four republicans. The demo-
Gratis have elected eight of their twelve
assembly candidates in Essex county.
Colby Gets Light Vote.
The surprising feature Of the election
was the light vote cast for Everett Colby,
the progressive candidate Colby's vote
probably will not exceed 10000, as COM
pared with 145. 40 received a year ago by
Col. Roosevelt for President.
Fieider's vote in the returns at hand is
running slightly below that received by
Woodrow Wilson a year ago, which was
17S2s9.
Stokes vote probably will exceed $780,
600. as compared with S,S3S received by
Taft last year.
Fielder Strong at Home.
Estimates from Hudson county, Field
er's home county. show that Fielder has
carried it by 10000; that he will have
1000 in Monmouth, 100 in Middlcsex and
1000 in Union.
Stokes apparently has carried Essex,
the home of Colby, and also the home OF
former Senator James Smith, jr., and for
ner Democratic State Chairman Nugent.
whom Fielder on the stump accused OF
working against him.

BAY STATE DEMOCRATS
SWAMP THE OPPOSITION
Republican a Third Party for
First Time in Half
a Century.

BOSTON, November 5.--The extent of
the democratic landslide in yesterday S
state election was not fully realized until
after a recap!tulation OF the figures today.
Then it was found that Lieut.. Gov. David
l. Walsh had been elevated to the gov
ernorship in four-cornered contest by
a plurality of 53,691 This Is the largest
plurality ever accorded a democratic
candidate for the office.
Complete returns give the vote for gov
ernor as follows: David ]. Walsh, demo-
crat, 1sO,36S; Charles S. Bird, progressive
1861; Augustus p. Gardner. republican,
1,o,314 Eugene \. Foss, independent,
I2O,S15.
Carried Ticket With Him.
The new governor carried with him into
Office every democratic candidate on the
state ticket, with the possible exception
of attorney general. This is another re-
suit unique in Massachusetts political
history.
The other democratic state officers
chosen are: Lieutenant governor, Edward
r. Barry; secretary of state, Frank J.
Donahue tre-elected): treasurer, Freder-
lex w. Mansfield, auditor, Frank II. Pope
| The contest for attorney general between
Attorney General James NJ. Swift. re-
- bos htCir ueiiic-
crat, was 50 close that recount may be
necessary.
Hold Balance of Power.
The republican grip on the legislature
was weakened. That party after con-
troll of years lacks a majority in each
branch. The progressiyes, who scored
heavy gains, hold the balance of power.
The senate stands: Republican, 10; dem
ocrats, IS, progressiyes, .. The house
stands: Republican, H. democrats. 1903;
progressives, II; independents, .: social
ist, l. The democrats also make slight
gains in the executive council. The out
standing feature Of the election, in addi-
ton to the magnitude of the democratic
victory, was the strength shown by the
progresSiyes Fer the firStstime since the
republicans came into power In this state
their nominee for governor was forced to
third position. The progressive gains in
the legislature also give them q strategic
position in both house and senate.
Page Elected to Congress.
The political complexion Of the Massa-
chusetts delegation in Congress was not
changed by the special election in the
third district, Calvin D. Page repubiican)
being chosen to succeed the late Repre-
sentative William H. Wilder. MIR. Page
received a plurality of 15o votes over
O'Connell (democraD. The progressive
candidate, Stephen NJ. Marshall, was far

WIN SWEEPING VICTORY

and Elect County Officers
in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, November 1.-The
victory of the regular republican or
ganization in Philadelphia over the
fusion forces led by Mayor Blanken
burg appeared more complete today a.
further returns were received. The re-
form combination with the democrats
to wrest control of the city councils
from the republican organization and
also to capture four county offices lost
ground in nearly every ward. The re-
publicans not only Won the county
offices by more than 10000 majority,
but Increased their membership in
councils. The regular republicans also
elected their three county judges on
the non partisan ballot, and got a
sweeping victory in the fight for mu-
nicipal court judges, electing all their
nine candidates who We're also on the
non partisan ballot.

Railroads Plead Against
Drinking-Water Order

TRENTON. Nov. THE contention
that it is no part of the legal duties
of a railroad to provide drinking
water for its patrons was heard be-
fore Part III. of the Supreme Court
yesterday. The proceedings involved
were the orders of the Public Utility
Commiss on, issued June 2, directing
five railroads to provide drinking
water on trains operating in this
State.
The railroads appealing from THIS
order were the Erie, Susquehanna
Lackawanna. Northern of New Jers"f
and the New Jersey and New Yor
Railroad. The railroads were repr'-
scented by Collins & Corbin. GeorGf
S. Hobart. w. j. Larrabee and Fred
erick b. Scott. The Pubic Ut Titles
Comm ssion was represented by Frank
H. Sommer.
In opening the argument for th'
railroads Mr.. Hobart contended tina
the furnishing of drinking water o.
the cars of trains specified in IN
order, was not essential to providin
safe, adequate and proper servic
for the transportation of passenger
within the State. He submitted tina
the order was unreasonable an
illegal, in that no necessity appear
for the furnishing of drinking wato
on trains whose runs occupy ono.

Jersey City May Probe
Education board After
Appointment of Vreeland

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 7.--Despite the
protest of the Board of Comm ssion-
ers, which has to raise the money to
pay municipal expenses, the Board of
Education last night appointed Rich
ard Vreeland. one of former Mayor
Wittpenn's lieut.. nants, to the pos ton
of inspector of repairs, at a salary of
inspector of repairs, at q salary of
81, 800 a year. The commissioners went
on record three weeks ago against
the appointment of Vreeland which
was then contemplated and the Board
of Education in communication to
the commissioners said there was no
intention of making the appointment.
Former Mayer Wittpenn had
prom sed Vreeland the job and as he
appointed the school directors he in
sisted they should help him keep the
promise. Much against its will the
Board of Education made the ap-
pointmtnt In face of its declaration
that 1t had no intention of doing so.
Organized labor had protested against
Vreeland's appointment and 1t was
said tonight the resolution would be
certioraried. As a result of the
boards action the city commissioners
will insist upon the right of the
bureau of research making a thor
orgh investigator of the affairs of
