REPUBLICAN GAINS
ARE INDICATED BY
ELECTION NEWS
Mudd's Election BY Large Ma
jority Certain, With Duvall
Probably Carrying County
MANY DEMOCRATS
FALL IN THE FIGHT
House.Of Representatives Prob
ably Republican, With SEN
ate Uncertain But Close

While the returns from the precincts
of Anne Arundel county last night in
dicated that Duvall had carried the
county for Congress over Mudd, by
nearly a hundred, returns from addi-
tional precincts this morning, with a
more accurate report from some of
those received, indicate that Du-
wallis majority is very small indeed,
and may be wiped out. Indeed, Re-
publican workers, including w. Hearst
Meade and DIR. Louis B. Henkle, claim
ed that Mudd had small majority.
The fact is that the figures obtained
here are not absolutely accurate in
some instances, and whether or not
Mudd carried the county will only be
determined by the official return. OF
course, interest in Anne Arundel's
vote is lessened by the fact that Mudd
has large majority in the District
Vote In County.
Figures from the different districts,
carefully revised and as accurate as
possible. show that Duvall has thir-
teen majority This may be increased
slightly, or wiped out by the official re-
turns, but it is probably near the cor
rect figures. The pluralities received
by Mudd were as follows by districts:
First, A; Second, rs; Third. so;
Fourth, 35; Sixth (Annapolis), 1O9.
Total 223 Duvall received 232 ma
jority in the Fifth and 95 in the Eighth.
This makes a total of 1856, and gives
Duvall the county by 8.
The complete vote in Annapolis
was: First Ward, Duvall, 149; Mudd,
95; Second, Duvals 1876; Mudd, 157;
Third, Duvall, 1874; Mudd, ISL; Fourth,
Duvall, 81; Mudd, 291. Totals: Du-
vail, 5S5; Mudd, 694.
ii was a matter of surprise that,
though a good majority was received
for the constitutional amendment pro-
viding a method for receiving the
votes of men in the service, there was
considerable vote against it. In the
Fourth Ward, a majority was cast
against the proposition. The COM
ment was that it was hard to under
stand the type of man who would op-
pose such proposition.
House OF Representatives

vided delegation to the House of Rep

as had been anticipated. Carville d..
Benson, was reelected by a comfort
able majority for both the long and
short terms, succeeding the veteran
Talbot. In the First, the Eastern
Shore district, Jesse ID. Price, the
Democratic incumbent, was defeated
by State Senator William n Andrews,
of Dorchester county.
Latest returns indicate that the Re-
| publicans have been swept into power
| in the House. The Senate is doubtful
despite Democratic losses. Surprising
results upsetting all predictions have
featured the race for governors.

In New York Governor Whitman and
