His term of service the House of Representatives already exceeds that of any other Con- gressman ever chosen in this State. The long record made by Mr. Page, formerly of the old Second District, is surpassed. The Democrats made strenuous efforts to turn the scale against Mr. Loud. They displayed political sagacity eting a popular and clean resident of a strong Republican county, but sectional pride and good fellowship could not over- come in the minds of the peopie the splen- did services of Mr. Loud or blind the vot- ers to the fact that he was not only a Republican, but a recognized leader in Congress.

D. Crichton, who ran against him, resides. Mr. Needham talked protection and sound money to the indus- trious voters in the San Joaquin Valley, and his sentiments were the sentiments of | the people. The Republicans have elected a major- ity of the twenty new State Senators and also a majority of the eighty Assembly- men. The Republicans will elect the | 8peaker of the Assembly. As theres are fifteen hold-over Republican Senators the party will be responsible for the legisla- tion of the session.

Cosper (Rep.), candidate for Superior Judge, was defeated by about 100 by Short (Dem.). The fight made by Cosper was a desple- able one from the start, as nothing was left undone that would help to place him In power. Thousands of dollars _wers used to further Cosper's interests. Every cent of money that came Into this county for other Republican candidates was used for Cosper and Cosper alone. In spite of all this, Slippery Cosper was de- feated and there is great rejolcing in Hanford to-night, the streets being crowded with citizens, who are thankful that they are not to have a Cosper on the bench.
