Sweeping Republican gains over
the country, nhlch reached a climax
in New York by the overwhelming
victory of Charles S. Whitman, for
Governor, and James ". Wadsworth
to succeed Elihu Root in the United
States Senate, were indicated Tues
day night in early returns Of the
elections.
Heavy falling off of the Progressive
vote in many states, the return to
Congress of former Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon, decisive Republican gains
in New York and Illinois in the
House membership and the over
whelming defeat of Representative
| A. Mitchell Palmer by Senator Boles
Penrose in Pennsylvania were fea-
lures of the early returns.
Democratic leaders, however, were
pleased by a triumph in Massachu-
sets, where former Representative
Samuel ". Mccall was defeated for
the Governorship by Governor Walsh.
Early returns indicated 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 a late hour results
in Illinois, Indiana, California and
Colorado as to Senatorships were in
doubt.
In Illinois Roger C. Sullivan, who
had the endorsement Of most Admin
istration leaders, Secretary Of State
Bryan excepted, was leading in Chi
cago and Cook County by a large
plurality over Senator L. Y. Sher-
man, Republican, and Raymond Rob
ms, Progressive, but Senator Sher-
man was running ahead in the coun-
try districts and was claiming the
election.
Senator Shively, Democrat, found
| in the Indiana early returns a strong
opponent in Hugh Miller, the Re,
publican candidate, with former Sen
ator Beveridge, the Progressive Can
didate, polling a smaller vote than
generally had been expected. Sen
ator Shively's vote began to pick up
at a late hour and Administration
Headers, were claiming his reelection
| In Colorado, Senator Charles s.
Thomas, Democrat, was being haro
pressed by Hubert Work, Republican
candidate.
| The triumph of Senator Penrose
in Pennsylvania, over A. Mitchell
| Palmer, Democrat, who was one o.
the original supporters Of Woodrow
Wilson, and Clifford Pinchot, Progress
sive, was overwhelming. The Sen
atorial fight in Kansas was also un'
lcertain, according to early returns
Charles Curtis, former Republican
| Senator; Congressman George a
Nicely, Democrat, and Representative
| Victor Murdoch, Progressive, engag
ed in spirited contest for the seat o'
Joseph L. Bristow.
| Senators reelected as the result o!
hard battles were: Frank B. Brande
gee, Republican, of Connecticut, op'
posed by Governor Simeon E. Bald
win; Albert B. Cummings, Republi
| can, of Iowa, who defeated Repre-
lsentative Maurice Connolly; JohI
Walter Smith, Democrat, Of Mary
land; William J. Stone, Democrat, o.
| Missouri; Jacob H. Gallinger, Repuo'
lican, of New Hampshire, who was
opposed by Representative E. b
Stevens.
4 In Tennessee there was also q
change of party control, when Gov
ernor Ben W. Hooper, the Republican
incumbent, was defeated by Thomas
IC. Rye, Democrat.
| In Pennsylvania, where occurred
one of the most spirited compangns
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican
| early took long lead over Vance Nc
|Cormick, Democratic candidate fol
Governor, who was endorsed by the
Progressives.
| In Ohio the race for Governor be-
| tween James NJ. Cox, incumbent, and
Frank B. Willis, Republican, was
close, with Governor Cox in the lead
on the early returns.
Defeat of woman suffrage in Mis-
souri, and North Dakota was indicat-
ed.
Meagre returns from California
showed Governor Hiram ". Johnson,
Progressive, leading .Fredericks, Re
publican, and Curtin, Democrat, by
a slight margin. The Senatorial sit
uation also was in doubt, Representa-
tive Joseph B. Knowland, Republican,
Jas. D. Phelan, Democrat, and Fran
els ]. Heney, Progressive, all show
ing strength.
In Ohio the prohibition issue was
uppermost. In Cleveland and Day
| ton the "wets" were victorious by
1 large majorities.
Democratic Senators in the South
were reelected without difficulty,
new Senators from Southern States
chosen being: Oscar W. Underwood,
of Alabama and Representative

for the long term.

returns, to succeed Senator Stephen

| Joseph C. Cannon, Republican, over
Frank T. O'Hair for Representative

ed certain on the early returns. Other
