NOTABLE GAINS
FOR DEMOCRACY
NATIONAL COMMITTEE FEELS
ENCOURAGED.
Walsh Said to Have POlled Biggest
Voted Ever Given Democrat in
Bay Stlte.

Washington, No. 3.-A statement is
sued tonight from the headquarters OF
the Democratic national committee
commenting on the results of yester-
days elections, said:
'"The results of yesterdays elections
show that while the Republicans and
Bull Moose have gotten together in
some states, the Democracy has made
large gains from the Progressive
ranks. This is notably true in Mass
chusetts, who which state the first Of
fetal returns are available The Dem
ocratic gubernatorial candidate, Gov
ernor Walsh, made wonderful race
He polled the largest vote ever given
a Democrat in the state, while Nj.
Mccall, the Republican candidate, ran
behind the normal Republican vote
given party nominees in recent years.
The boast of Republicans in Massa-
chusetts that they would carry the
state by from % 900 to 10000 majority
remains unfulflled.
'TThe total vote given Walsh was
229,312, while Mccall received 235,91S
votes. The vote for Governor Walsh
was nearly 20 900 greater than that he
received two years ago and $4,000 more
than he received in 1912.
President Wilson received only
173,400 votes as against 298,175 for
Taft and Roosevelt. Taft received $685.
S66 votes in 1908, which is 10000 more
than the vote given Mccall yesterday.
"In this connection the important
fact should not be overlooked that
Massachusetts is one of the old line
Republican states. 1t has elected Re-
publican legislatures and Republican
united States senator's for genera
tions The Democratic party is
stronger in the State today than ever
There we're three state election re-
suits yesterday where governors were
chosen. The Democrats elected a gov
ernor to replace Republican in Mary
land. In Kentucky the Democrats
claim to have elected their candidate
for governor, Hon. A. o. Stanley,
whose election was opposed by num-
Der of Republican spellbinders of ma
tional reputation, including Former
Vice President Fairbanks. The fine
victories of these closely contested
states, and the very remarkable race
made by the party leader in the other
are highly gratifying to the national
Democracy for all of these states
have been in the Republican fold dur
ing the past few years.
LESS than four years ago Kentucky
had a Republican governor.
"The results yesterday are full Of
cement to Democrats. dem
onstrating conclusively that it is the
constructive and gaining party"

DEMOCRATS SCORE
ON GOVERNORSHIPS
Lost in Massachusetts, But Win in
Maryland and Kentucky-New
York Constitution Rejected.

The dropping of the majority
against woman suffrage in Pennsyl-
vania to approximately $4,000 and the
failure of the Progl essives to poll
enough votes in the Massachusetts
gubernatorial race to maintain their
legal standing as a party are the out
standing features Of the latest returns
from Tuesdays state elections.
Throughout the Gay the majority
against suffrage in Pennsylvania, es-
timated at times as high as 100000,
decreased. This, with the additional
news that % out Of g. counties in the
state had carried for suffrage, gave its
supporters great encouragement
Although suffrage was defeated in
New York, more than 500, 900 votes
we're cast for it. The majority against
i; wa about 10000.
In Massachusetts, woman suffrage
was defeated by majority of 132,OS3
the vote being 163,406 for and 295,4S9
against.
