New York, Nov. 4.-Sweeping Re-
publican gains throughout the coun-
try, which reached climax in this
state by the overwhelming victory of
Charles S. Whitman for governor and
James w. Wadsworth to succeed
Elihu Foot in the United States SEN
ate, were indicated in early returns
of the general election.
Penrose and Cannon Win.
Heavy falling off of the Progress
sive vote in many states, the return
to congress of former Speaker Joseph
G.. Cannon, decisive Republican gains
in New York and IlliSois in the house
membership, and the overwhelming
defeat of Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer by Senator Boise Penrose in
Pennsylvania, were features of the
early returns.
Democratic leaders, however, were
pleased by triumph in Massachusetts
where former Representatives Samuel
w. Mccall was defeated for the gov
ernorship by Governor Walsh.
Reduced Majority In House.
Early returns indicate that the
Democrats would retain control of
congress with approximately no
change in the senate majority, but
by decidedly reduced majority in
the house. At late hour results in
Illinois, Indiana, California and Colo
rsdo as to the senatorship were in
doubt.
In Illinois, Roger c. Sullivan, who
had the Endorsement of most admin
istration leaders, including Secretary
of State Bryan, was leading in Chi
cago and Cook county by a large
plurality over Senator L. Y. Sherman,
Republican, and Raymond Robins,
Progressive, but Senator Sherman was
running ahead in the country districts
and was claiming the election.
Indiana Goes Democratic.
Senator Shivley, Democrat, found in
the Indiana early returns strong op.
ponent in Hugh Miller, the Republican
candidate, with former Senator Bev.
eridge, the Progressive candidate
polling smaller vote than had been
expected. Senator Shively's vote be-
gan to pick up later and administers
ton leaders claim his reelection by
25 to 80 thousand.
In Colorado, Senator Charles S.
Thomas, Democrat. was being pressed
hard by Hubert Work, the Republi.
can candidate.
The triumph of Senator Penrose in
Pennsylvania over A. Mitchell Palm.
er, Democrat, who was one of the or
iginal supporters of Woodrow Wilson,
and Clifford Pinchot, Progressive, was
overwhelming.
Kansas Fight Close.
The senatorial fight in Kansas also
was uncertain, according to early re-
turns. Charles Curtis. former Repub-
lican senator, Congressman George A.
Nicely, Democrat, and Representative
Victor Murdoch, Progressive, engag-
ed in a spirited contest for the seat
of Joeenh Bristow.
Senators reelected as the result of
hard battles were Frank Brandegee.
Republican, of Connecticut, who was
opnosed by Governor Simeon E. Bald
win: Albert B. Cummins, Republican.
CT Iowa, who defeated Representative
Maurice Connolly; John Walter
Smith, Democrat, of MARYLAND; Will
liam ]. Stone. Democrat, of Missouri;
Jacob H. Gallinger. Republican, of
New Hampshire, who was opposed by
Representative f. B. Stevens.
ervth Remains "soiid."
Democratic senators in the south
were reelected without difficulty, new
senators from southern states chosen
being Representative Oscar Under
wood of Ala ALBANIA and REPRESENTATIVE
Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia. For
mer Governor J. C. w. Beckham, Dem
ocrat, of Kentucky, was chosen for
the long term.
Francis e. McGovern, Republican,
was elected. according to early re-
turns, to succeed Senator Stephenson,
Republican, from Wisconsin.
The triumph of former Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon, Republican, over
Frank T. O'Hair for representative in
the Eighteenth Illinois district, seemed
certain on the early returns.
Illinois Republicans Returned.
