BATTLE OF H DALLOIS Voters of the Country Hand Down Their Decision in a Closely Contested Political Conflict. - . GAINS ARE MADE BY THE DEMOCRATS Republicans Will Have Reduced Majorities in the Senate and House—Re- turns by States. Elections were held yesterday in forty: two states, and the latest returns indi. cated that the control of the national ¢con- eee remains with the Republican party. hile official figures may make the work- ing majority of the Republican party in the house a close one, there is no doubt that it will be sufficient for all party pur- poses. From a rational standpoint, the control of the lower branch of congress Was the real contest. Many of the states elected legislatures which will choose United States senators, but the results of these elections have in no way imperilled the Republican majority of the upper dy. In those states which elected gov- ernors there was no state in which the party in power was not continued in that position. In some of the states, however, there was a decided change from the vote cast two years ago. In the East the main interest centered in the two great States of New York and Pennsylvania, Chicago, Nov. 5.—Disp sociated Press up to i: show that the Republicans have elected 195 congressmen and the Democrats 180, with eleven disinicts to be heard from.

Roprecion ba * Cae Pitet Beta NEW YORK. Gov. Odell Carries the State by a Small Majcrity. In_spite of the phenomenally large vote in New York and kings county for Bird S. Coler, (Dem.) the returns indicate the re-election of Benjamin B. Odell (Rep.) to the governorship of New, York state by from 6,000 to 9,000. Coler’s plurality in Greater New York exceeded 15,000, a surplus of 3,000 above the claim made by Charles F. Murphy, leader of ‘Tammany Hall, but even that large vote was not sufficient to overcome the Repub- lican majorities from up the state. Odell’s yote in the country districts was lighter than two years ago. but Coler’s was also lower than Stanchfield’s in the same year. In.New York City Coler’s plurali- ty was approximately 117,500. Oyster Bay. where President Roose- velt’s country home is situated and where he voted, was carried by Coler, his plu- rality being 131. Two years ago Odell, plurality was 5i2. Figures from the congressional districts in the state gave the delegation as twenty Republicans to seventeen Democrats. The present state representation is twenty-two Republi- cans to twelve Democrats. ‘The Demo- crats made gains in the state legislature, but they were not sufficient to endanger the Republican hold on the seat in the United States senate, now held by Thom- as C. Platt 1OwaA, Birdsall, Speaker Henderson’s Successor, Is Elected. On the basis of the precinct returns re- ceived the Republicans have elected their state ticket by about 75,000 plurality. The reports from the congressional districts are meager. Enough has been received from the Third to indicate that Judge Birdsall, nominated by the Republicans to succeed Speaker David B. Henderson, ran substantially with his ticket, and will be elected b; 000 to 5,000 votes over Former Governor Boies. he returns indicate close counts in both the Sixth and Second districts, but they are not numerous enough to base estimates upon. At Repub- lican headquarters it was state Republic- an pluralities in the state as a whole was sufficient to carry all the congressional districts. Chairman Spence of the Repub- lican committee said: “We have carried the state by at least 65,000. The figures indicate a larger plu- rality, but we are not claiming more at resent. We have elected eleven Repub-. ican congressmen."’ Chairman Jackson of thé Democratic committee said: “We are’ making no claims; but concede nothing. INDIANA. Congressional Di penton Remains Same — 0 i Four. nernprtg went Republican by from 25,000 ¢ 00), The congressional delegation remained the same with 9 Republicans and 4 Democrats. ‘The legislature will be Republican by about 25 on joint bal- lot ,and Senator Charles W. Fairbanks tele re-elected to the United States nate. This estimate is based on. unofficial re- turns received at the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican state central committees and from the specials from every county in the state. Throughout the state the Republican legislative <icket led the local candidates. This was, of course, due to the strength of United States Senator Fairbanks, whose re-elec- tion depended upon the result. ; ILLINOIS.

The Democrats are sure of nine congress- men and may secure two more. ‘The con- test in the Sixth congressional district is exceedingly close and it may require the official count to determine the result. Lorimer has a slight lead, but Durborow is gaining slowly, as the late returns come in and the unofficial vote will be nearly even. MICHIGAN. Make Gains in _ Legislature jer WII Go to the Senate. The Repubheaas of Michigan have elected Goverror A. T. Bliss and their entire state ticket, eleven of the fourteen congressmen and an overwhelming ma- jority of the members of the legislature. he vote was light throughout the state and the Republican majority is estimated at between 30,000 and 40,000, althou; Republican State Chairman G. J. Dick: man, insisis it will be nearer 75,000, bas- ieng his statement on advices received from the various county chairmen. As was expected Governor Bliss ran heavily behind his ticket, from 15,000 to 20,000 it is estimated. L. F: Durand, the Demo- cratic candidate for governor, poled a correspondingly heavy vote, especially in Detroit, which he carried from 4,000. to 6.000. While the returns indicate that the Democrats have iner by a few members their representation in the state legislature, the Repudlicans will have an overwhelming majority in both houses. This assures the election of Gen. R. A. Alger to dll the unexpired term of the late U. S. Senator James H. MeMillan. OHIO Rpublicans Carry the State by a Large Pluralty. ‘a The Republicans carr.:d Ohio by next to their héghest pluralicy on record. Noth- ing above 70,000 had been predicted, but partial returns indicate that it will great- ly exceed those figures. At the same time the Republicans made no gain in con- gressmen and are likely to lose one. The present Ohio delegation in congress con- sists of 17 Republicans and 4 Democrats, and the returns show 16 Republicans and 4 Democrats elected, with the Twelfth district in doubt. With a single exception the Republican lurality to-day was the highest in the Bistory. of Ohio on a total vote of less than 800,000. RHODE ISLAND. Democrats Have Probably Elected the Governor. The Republicans have undoubtedly se- cured full control of the senste, a major- ity decreased somewhat from last year in the house, and, with the possible excep- tion of the chief executive, they have elected their state ticket. If the Demo- crats continue to gain the same ratio as during the early evening the election of L. B. Garvin over Gov. C. D. Kimball, the Republican candidate, seems likely. ‘The election of Congressman Adin B. pon in the Second district is as- sured. In the first district the congressional contest is very close. DELAWARE. — Complexion of the Next Legislature Is in Doubt. ‘The complexion of the next general as- sembly is in doubt. It is now apparent that a deadlock on the two United States senatorial vacancies will be the result, as was the case two years ago. The reg- ular Republican state committee claims that the body will be composed of 19 Union Republicans, 8 os tw @ Republi- ant cans, 22 Democrats 3 doubtful Democratic - State Chairman ard Saulsbury claims that 24 Democratic / members have been elected. The ma- oad on joint ballet and and the num- jer necessary to elect United States senators is 27. PENNSYLVANIA. Over a Million Votes Cast—Republicans * Have 175,000 Majority. For the first time in the history of the state more than one million votes were cast in an election Samuel W. Pennypacker, (Rep.) was elected gover- nor by an estimated plurality of 175,000 and the Repubican ticket was generally successful in nthe various counties. The Democrats elected two and possibly three The leg- islature will be more strongly Republi- can than ever before with the exception of 1897 session art it is certain that Boies Penrose will Yucceed himself in the United States senate. MASSACHUSETTS. jovernor Elected by 37,- Plurality. Boston, Nov. 4.—Lieut. Gov. John L. Bates of Boston was elected governor by the Republicans in the state election. de- feating William A. Gaston, the Demo- cratic candidate by 37,479 plurality. The Republicans also elected the rest of the state ticket and ten out of fourteen con- gressmen.

MISSOURI. Fight is Close and Result is in | In several districts the fight for con- ss is very close and definite results will probably not be known for 24 hours At Republican state headquarters it was claimed there is a slight Republican gain in some counties. At Democratic head- quer cee it was claited the Democratic bed would come to St. Louis with 15,- to 18,000. Indications point to a awcening Democratic victory in St. Louis with a plurality of 15.000 and the election of twe men out of three.

Republican MONTANA. State Returns Indicate a Repubil- can Victory. Late returns from the various outlying counties indicate the election of the en- tire state Republican ticket. Counties heretofore Democratic report Republican landslides, estimates from the | Repub- lican headquarters give Jixon for con- gress 4,000 majority; Holloway, associate justice, 8,000 majority. ‘Lhe legislature of the state will be slightly Republictn, as the county tickets are badly split. COLORADO. Legislature Will Be Democratic on Joint Bal‘ot. The returns from tné state indicate that Colorado has elected a full Repub- lican ticket by small majorities. This is conceded by leading Demvcrats, though not by Chairman Smith. Tue Democratic congressional candidates are claimed to have run ahead of their ticket and one or more of them may be elected. The legislature will undoubtedly be “Demo- cratic on joint ballot CONNECTICUT. Governor and. Entire Republican Con- gressional Ticket Elected. Connecticut clected the full Republican ticket for state officers ard all the five Republican candidates for congress. The plurality for Chamber.ui:., the Republi- can candidate for governor. will be at least 13,000, an increase of 1,000 over the plurality of two years ago. The state legislature will Republican, thus insuring the return of C. H. Platt to the United States senate. MARYLAND. BEL The Republicans Elect Four of the Six Congressmen. The election in Maryland which was only for congressmen, passed off quietly with the exception of a few minor dis- turbances in the eastern district of this city. Of the six congressmen the Repub- licans elect four and the Democrats two. The vote in the third district was very close. Wachter having a majority of about 100. . NEW JERSEY. Democrats Make Gains but Fail to Gain Control of the State. In New Jersey the Democrats made gains, but failed to gain control of the state, In the congressional contests the Republicans elected seven and the Demo- crats three. The Republicans again control the leg- islature, but also by a reduced majority. Republicans elect seven congressmen and the Democrats three. UTAH. Indications That Republican Associate Justice is Elected. Indications are that William M. Mc- Carty (Rep.) is elected associate justice of the supreme court over Richard W. Young (Dem.) by 2,500 plurality, and that the Republicans will have 2 consid- erable majority in the ‘legislature, thus brrwiig Poarys election of a Republican United States senator to succeed Senator Rawlins. KANSAS. Republicans Claim a Victory for Their Ticket. icket. ‘The Republicans have elected the en- tire state ticket and all the eight con- gressmen. Bailey for governor will have a larger majority than did Stanley two years ago. The legislature will be safely Republican, though possibly the major- ity will be smaller there. NORTH CAROLINA. Legislature Overwhelmincly Democratic —63.000 Majority for State Ticket. The Demperatic state majority is ap- parently about 63.000. ° North Carolina will have a solid Democratic renresenta- tion in the house of representatives. The legislature will be overwhelmingly Dem- ocratic and a Democrat will succeed Pritchard as United States senator. WASHINGTON. Republicans oy. the State by Small lajority. " Returns coming in slowly. Indications are that state will go Republican by about 2.000 majority, with the election of three congressmen and the control of the leg- islature. VIRGINIA. Democrats Return a Full Congressional . Deleaation. The state certainly will return a full Democratic congressional delegation. The latest returns from the Ninth dis- trict. where there was the only serious contest in the state. assure the election of Rheam, Democrat. WYOMING. Republicans Ciaim the State by Small Major! Chairman Fass of the Republican state committee, claimed thet sate hy not less than 2.000 majority. The Democratts concede he election of a Republican con- gressman. The Republicans have a ma- jority in the legislature. NEVADA. Indications Point to a Fusion Vic- Indications are that Sparks, Democrat, for governor, has carried Washoe coun- ty by about 400. Meager returns point to a fusion victory in the state. The legislature will probably be <usion. IDAHO.

Washington, Nov. 5.—The next United States senate will be Republican by at least 16 majority, against the present majority of 20. The present senate con- tains 54 Republicans and 34 Democrats in a total o 90 seats, there being two vacancles from Delaware where the Re- publican legis'ature failed to elect. ‘The term of 30 senators expire with the pres- ent congress, ‘There is also a vacancy from Michigan caused by the death of Senator McMillan. Of these 31 seats to be filled not including the two from Del- aware, but including the Michigan va- cancy, 19 are now Republican and 12 are Democratic, Wellington of Maryland be- ing classified as a Republican and Harris of Kansas; McLaurin of South Carolina Seven states have already elected sena- tors to take*their seats March 4, 1903. Four of these are Democrats and three Republicans. leaving sixteen Republican and eight Democratic seats to be filled. The Republicans have carried the legisia- tures in thirteen of these states and the Democrats have at least seven on thei: side. This would give the Republicans 52 seats and the Democrats 31. Five states are doubtful. Democrats are almost certain of three of these, with chances favoring Republi- cans in one. This would make the sen- bel stand 53 Republicans and 37 Demo- crats. LA FOLLETTE I iS THE WISCONSIN GOVERNOR IS RE- ELECTED BY A GOOD MAJORITY. . LEGISLATURE IS REPUBLICAN WILL ELECT A UNITED STATES SENATOR TO SUCCEED SPOONER. / RESULTS ON CONGRESSMEN REPUBLICANS CARRY EIGHT DIS- TRICTS WITH THREE STILL IN DOUBT.

In addition eight con- Sressmen are certain, with probably two more if not the entire delegation for the Republicans. ‘The candidates In fourth, | fifth and sixth discricts are having a cose run so far as the latest Wes show. William George Bruce, chairman of tl Democratic committee’ of Milwaulice county, said late last night: ‘We have carried the city by a plurali- ' ticket is elected by a majority of 400 at ty of 1,200 but have lost the county.” General George E.

I can see no reason+ for reducing my estimate of 40,000 plu. rality for La Follette.. The losses are in Dodge and Fond du Lac counties.” Chairman A. F.

The assembly will probably probably con- sist of seventy-two Republicans and twenty-eight Democrats and the senate twenty-eight Republicans and five Dem- ocrats. As a heen Ay of the Republi. cans elected are pledged to support Sen- ator John C. Spooner for , re-election, the senator will probably be returned to the upper house of congress. The following are the districts in which there is no question of the result: ‘irst. congressional district—Cooper Republican. econd district—H. C. Adams, Republi- can. Third district—Joseph W.

BY LEGISLATURE GOES REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN WORERS BISAP= POINTED IN THE TO- TAL VOTE CAST. ‘With less than 70 per cent of the regis- tered vote of the state cast, the Republi can state and congressional ticket has been elected by majorities ranging from 8,000 to 12,000. Spalding and Marshall, for congress, have won out by about 12,- . The state ticket will average around 10,000, and Gov. White has defeated Cronan by probably 2,000, though many people will not concede these figures till the returns are more complete. White was the maelstrom of the cam- paisa, and all the fight was made on im because of his attitude on the mer- ger question. The indications are that White has car- ried every county in the state except ‘Walsh, which has aiways been a Demo- cratic stronghold and was the former home of Maj. Cronan. Cronan is now a resident of Fargo, and he reduced ‘WwWhite’s majority in this city, of 550 two years ago, to 8, and from nearly 1,500 in the county to 600, but on a great- ly_reduced total vote. The legisjature will be at least 100 Re- publican out of a total og 140, amd the complete returns may increase these fig- ures. The Democrats won out in Rich- land county, the home of Senator Mc- Cumber. From the tenor of the election returns on legislative candidates the in- dications are that Senator Hansbrough has carried enough men to insure hfs re- election. The campaign workers are disappointed in the total vote, which ran much lower than was anticipated. In localities where there were no figghts the returns. show that less than 50 per cent of the voters: turned out. The Democrats have ap- parently made notable gains in anty officers in some sections of the state on account of the factional scraps between the Republicans, IN SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS CARRY THE STATE, ELECTING BOTH CONGRESS- MEN AND STATE TICKETS.
