New York—John A. Dix, Demo- cratic candidate for governor, is elec- ted over Henry L. Stimson, Republi- | can, by a plurality of about fifty-five thousand, Republican plurality set- enty thousand in 1908 for Governor Hughes. New Jersey — Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candidate for governor, is elected over Vivian M. Lewis, Re- publican, by about fifteen thousand plurality, previous Republican plural- ity eight thousand. Massachusetts—Eugene M. Democratic candidate, defeated Gov. Eben S. Draper, Republican, for re- election by about thirty thousand plu- rality, Governor Draper's former plurality eight thousand. Connecticnt Judge Simeon H. Baldwin, Democrat, elected governor over Charles A. Goodwin, Republi- can, by about four thousand plurali- ty, previous Republican plurality six- teen thousand, Ohio—Governor Judson Harmon, Democrat, candidate for re-election, appears to have carried the state by about fifteen thousand over Warren H. Hardin, Republican, Foss, New Hampshire—Robert P. Bass, ' Republican candidate for governor, is leading C. E. Carr, Democratic candidate, by about six thousand plu- rality. Pennsylvania—The election of John K. Toner, Republican candidate for governor, claimed by large plurality. Rhode Island—Governor Pothier, Republican candidate for re-election, in the lead over Lewis A. Waterman, Democrat, with a plurality much re- duced from that of 1909. Tennessee—The fusion candidate, Ben W. Hooper, is apparently elected by 14,000 plurality. Democratic governors elected in Alabama and South Carolina. lowa—The Democrats claim the election of Claude H. Porter for gov- ernor. Wisconsin publican candidate The election of the Re- for governor, Francis E. McGovern, is claimed by a reduced majority, and the return of Senator LaFollette to the United States Senate is assured. Michigan—Ciiarles S. Osborn, the Republican candidate for Covernor, appears to have a safe lead over L. T. Hemans, Democrat. The most wonderful feature of the Democratic victories throughout the country is that for the first time in his public career Theodore Roose- velt “has nothing to say.’ Democrats Capture Both Houses of Missouri Legislature. Incomplete returns from the vari- ous counties and districts in the state give assurance that the Democrats have elected a majority of both branches of the Missouri legislature. Based on returns now at hand the Senate will be composed of twenty- four Democrats and ten Republicans- The House will contain 83 Democrats and 59 Republicans. The Republic says: A Democratic Legislature is by no: means the smallest of the party spoils won in yesterday's election, great as others undoubtedly are. The State Government is divided into three branches, to-wit: Legislative execu- tive and judicial. The Democrats now control two of these branches, and the third is almost powerless without the co-operation of the legis- lative branch. The election of a Democratic United States Senator to succeed a Republi- can Senator will be an event of na- tional importance as well as local concern, There will be no hitch, either, over the election of a Demo- cratic United States Senator, such as marked the legislative proceedings of 1905, when Thomas K. Niedringhaus, the Republican caucus nominee, was betrayed and defeated by Senator: Warner as a result of party treachery. Prohibition Amendment Defeated, The 10th Proposed Constitutional Amendment was defeated in the state at Tuesday's election by a majority which is estimated at 140,000. St. Louis, it is claimed, gave a majority of 125,000 against the amendment. While nothing like complete returns of this county are available on this amendment, it is estizuated that Bates went dry by at least 1,000. Corn Huskers Are Needed. Junction City, Kas., Nov. 3.—There is a shortage of corn huskers here. Notwithstanding that the wages paid this year are in excess of those of last season, it is a difficult matter to get men to husk corn. In the last few days many farmers have been in town in search of men who will work in the corn.
