Newberry, Repub lican. had increased his lead over Henry Ford to more than 5.300 votes. Thomas Van T.ear. Socialist, was re elected mayor of Minneapolis. It seemed certain to-day that Mis souri had chosen Spencer, a Republi can. to tile United Stales Senate over former Governor Folk. Undecided contests in several states made it impossible to say to-day just what the Republican majority in the House w ill be. Governor William D. Stephens, of California, continued t., increase his lead over Theodore A. Bell, Democrat, and the Governor's success seemed certain. lowa Republicans captured the state's entire Congressional delegation of eleven at Tuesday's election. Jeannette Rankin, an aspirant for the United States Senate from Mon tana. ran a poor th'rd to Senator Walsh. The defeat of the state prohibition amendment in Missouri b> lOrt.OdO was indicated to-day. Woman suffrage, apparently. Ims been badly defeated in Oklahoma.

Women have won the vote in Michi gan and South Dakota, although tlie suffrage amendment was badly defeat ed in Oklahoma.

His statement followed an in-, [terchange of compliments with, his j rival, Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, I who assured hint of his heartiest j support. Judge Bonniwell also issued a j statement in which he showed that I he was a mighty good loser. He con j gratulatcd the people of the state on election of Sproul, saying: "The electors of Pennsylvania have recorded their verdict, and as a believer in the will of the major ity, 1 accept their judgment. I feel no personal regret whatever, except on account of the fuithful and j priceless friends who have so loyal ly supported me throughout this extraordinary contest, and in whose disappointment I sympathize. ' "My friend. Senator Sproul, has conducted a campaign of signal dig nity, as 1 also sought to do. He has i during all the time of our personal : acquaintanceship indelibly impressed mo not merely with his great execu tive ability and character, hut with the lovable personal traits so Invalu able In the Chief Executive of our great state. "His decisive election is due to no faction of Republicans. It is due to his own greut qualities. With Senator Sproul as our chief execu tive, 1 feel assured that we will all have cause to gratefully appreciate an administration during the next four years freed from graft and scandal, that will with ability aid in solving Pennsylvania's problem, and In doing so open the road to a wider and still more noble career for him.
