N.j; HOUSE LOST.
TO REPUBLICANS
Retain Control of Senate and
Have Majority on Joint
Ballot
Ity the Asioctatrtl Press
Trenton. N. J.. Nov. 7 The Repub
licans lost control of tho New Jersey
Assembly In Tuesday's election. The
Democrats elected thirty members, n
gain for them of sixteen. Republicans
retained control of the Senate, howoer,
and on u Joint ballot will havo a ma
jority of nine.
Prohibition wll be the chief Issue be
fore the Legislature at the coming ses
sion. All the Republicans elected tt
tho .Assembly are pledged to support
tho national prohibition ninendinent,
whlto the Democrats were elected on a
"wet platform."
Latest returns Indicate that Governor
I'dge's plurality for the t'nlted States
Senate It about 23,000, while that of Mr.
Dalrd In nnt mnrn than If,. 000. In the
Congress fights Republicans lost tne
3 Third. Eighth, Ninth, Klcventh and
Twelfth Districts, two of which, the
nighth nnd Ninth, are now represented
by Republicans.
The result In Kssex spells defeat for
prohibition for another ear, at least.
1-ven though tho Republicans have the
House, there Is virtually not a chance of
ratifying the prohibition amendment to
the Federal Constitution next year. Re.
publican Assemblymen elected from some
of tho larger counties, notably Passaic,
are opposed to prohibition and probably
v lit have tho united support of aH the
Democrats. Thin seems to forecast suro
defeat for tho prohibition amendment.
Results of the election nro so confus
ing ns to tnakn It dllllcult to assign any
single eausn for the Republican slump.
In the congressional contests It seems
probable that the appeal of President
Wilson, coupled with the momentous
happenings of tho last few days In the
world war, havo contributed to help the
Democratic candidates. Local cond'
tlons were also against tho Republicans
In the Klghth and Ninth Districts, but
these would not explain the small ma
jorities of Republicans elsewhere.

WOULD CONTEST EDGE'S SEAT
Nugent Declares Governor's Elec
tion to Senate Is Illegal
New York, Nov. 7. James R, Nugent,
Democratic leader of Kssex County, pro
poses to take some of the Joy out of
life for Walter K. Edge, New Jersey's
Republican Governor, by testing In th
courts the constitutionality of Mr. F.dge's
election on Tuesday tq the United Statco
Senate for a term of six years. He
also Intends, ho says, to file with tho
United States Senate a protest against
the seating of tho Senator-elect.
Mr. Nugent contends that It Is a
violation of tho New Jersey Conxtltu.
tlon for a Governor to bo elected to fc
State or a Fedeial olllco during his
term. Kdward Graj, ono of the
Governor's rivals for the senatorial nom
nation, raised the same ijuestlon durlna.
the primary campaign, but apparently
It did not do any good. Just prloi
to election Governor Kdge made publlo
the opinions of several eminent Neiv
Jersey lawers that he was eligible to
hold the office If he got It.
The Constitution says: "Nor bhall h
(tho Governor) be elected by the Legls
lature to any office under the govern
fient of this State or of the United
tates during the term for which he
Hnll I. jM h,n ttlnoted Governor.'
The lawyers ra'sed tho point that ns '
New Jersey Legislatures do not elect
United States Senators any longei
(voters now elect), he was not forbidden
by the Constitution to move from tho
Governor's chnlr to tho United States
Senate.
SMITH WINS BYABOUT 10,000
Soldiers Mav Add Another 10,000
to IS'ew Yorkers' Plurality
New York, Nov. 7. Alfred n. Smith
has been elected Governor to succeed
Charles S. Whitman. With only forty
nlno out of a total of 7229 election dis
tricts misting In tho cntlro State, Smith
was leading by a plurality of 12,381.
Estimating the missing districts would
give Smith n plurality of about 10.000.
The soldier vote, the size of which Is
variously estimated, will, It is believed,
add anywhere from 6000 lo 10,000 to the
Smith plurality.
Harry C. Walker, tho Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, waa
elected over Lieutenant Governor Ed
ward Schnenck. With 601 election dis
tricts missing, he was ahead by 65,000.
This will bo cut down when tho missing
districts come In.
For offices below Lieutenant Governor,
the Republicans elected their candidates.
Although the Democrats made no con
cessions on this tonight. It waa figured at
Republican State headquarters that the
following had been elected by plurali
ties ranging around 80,000: Francis M.
Hugo, Secretary of Slate; Lugeno M.
Travis, Controller; James L. Wells,
Stato Treasurer: Charles D. Newton,
Attorney, and Frank 31. Williams, State
Engineer and Surveyor.

Washington, Nov. 7. Virtually com

The most spectacular campaign was
In Ohio, where It looked for a time as
If tho "wet" eontlment In Cincinnati
and Cleveland would prove too heavy
a handicap for tho "drys" to carry.
As the rural districts reported, how
ever, the "wet" majority was wiped out.
With 49S5 out of 5758 precincts heard
from the voto was: For prohibition,
381,425; agalnot, 371,069. As most of
the remaining precincts were rural and
"dry," passage of the amendment was
generally conceded.
Florida went dry without an effort,
but tho effect of prohibition lu that
State will be largely figurative). Under
tli present local option law sale of
liquor Is permitted In only two coun
ties Washington voted for prohibition and
so did Wyoming, the drys in the latter
State outnumbering their opponents by
nearly 2 to 1.
Dry majorities In Minnesota nnd Ne
vada were small, and the wets fctlll hope
remaining returns will upset them. As
the wet centers are all in, however, their
chances are regarded as slight.
California nnd Colorado also rejected
prohibition by decisive majorities.
50-50 FOR SUFFRAGISTS
Win Two States and Lose Two.
Senate Candidates Beaten
Waihlmrtan, Nov. 7. Suffragists seem
to have broken even In the election, vic
tories in Michigan and South Dakota
being offset by decisive defeats In Okla
homa and Louisiana.
The result In Michigan, where the
most Important contest was scheduled,
was In doubt until virtually nil the dis
tricts were heard from. Suffrage seems
to have been carried In that Stato by
from 10.000 to 15,000 majority,
A suffrage victory also Is conceded
South Dakota, although earlier returns
left the result somewhat In doubt.
Oklahoma rejected suffrage definitely
and decisively, an did Louisiana.
Another blow was the rebuke. nd
ministered to the two women candidates
for tho United States Senate Anne
Martin, In Nevada, nnd Jeanotto Rankin,
in Montana. Both ran last and far behind.
Late returns from congressional dis
tricts In the Stato whera lights were
waged by the rival Republican and
Democratic forces Indicate that the
soldier vote may be necessary to deter
mine tho result.
In tho Sixteenth District, where Con
gressman John V. Lesher sought n
fourth term, tho result Is unusually
close. Lesher has a lead In tho district
of 147 votes over A. W. Duy. his Re
publican opponent, nnd 400 soldier votes
are yet to be counted.
Tho Dcmocratlo State Committee eon
tends that the bulk of the soldier voto
will be Democratic Duy carried Mon
tour. Sullivan and Northumberland
Counties by small majorities and cut
I down tho Democratic majority In Co
lumbia County' to 1950 votes.
Former Congressman John J. CBBcy
rlso Is runntng a closo race with Ed
ward H. Carpenter In tho Luaorne
County district. Unofficial returns from
312 of the 323 district)) give Carpenter
15,792 and Casey 15,460. Two of the
missing districts aro heavily Democratic
and the others were rural communities
where tho voto Is said to havo been
light.
Complete unofficial returns liy Lacka
wanna County give Patrick McLnne,
Democrat. 145 majority over Congress
man John R. Farr, who was seeking a
fifth term. The returns do not Includo
tho soldier lote, which may reduce Mc
Latie's lead considerably.
In tho Grecnc-Fajettc-Somerset dis
trict Samuel A. Kendall, Republican,
has 338 majority over Congressman
Bruce F. Sterling, Democrat.
An official count, with the soldier voto
Included, may change tho results mate
rially In this district.
As the results now Btand twenty-eight

Independent Congressman have been
