governor by about $4,000 majority
and reelected William P Dilling-
ham United States senator by about
5000 majority, Frank L. Greene and
20. ter H. Dale congressman by safe
majorities. Although the democrats
and progressives fused in several
counties in the state they did not win
in a single county and the indica-
tions early this morning were that
there would be fewer progressiyes
and democrats in the legislature than
two years ago.
