Mr. McCormick ran behind Brumbaugh in McConnick's own city, Harris burg. and in bis home county of Dauphin. Members of the committee in this city in charge of the campaign of Judge George Kunkel. of Harrisburg, for Judge of the Supreme Court, said this after noon that they are convinced he has won. They refused to give out any definite figures but said they had received returns from all except 12 counties of the state and that Kunkel is leading. The general Impression is that Kunkel will beat Frazer by a safe but small majority. A report given out earlier in the day by the Kunkel committee that fce would win by 50,000 was regarded late this afternoon as placing the ma jority too high. Trexler appears to have beaten Clark for Superior Court. Frank B. McClain, Republican, was elected Lieutenant Governor, and Henry Houck. Republican, was re-elected Secretary of Internal Affairs. The four Republican Congressmen-at-Large were elected. Aaron Kreider was re-elected to Congress in this district comprising Dauphin, Lebanon and Cumberland counties.

In the Dauphin County district outside of the city. Nissley and Young. Republicans, beat Martin and Lenker. who ran on the fusion ticket of the Democratic and Washington parties. The Republicans of Pennsylvania gained in the number of Representatives to the National House, and gained many state Assemblymen and state Senators. Vance C. McCormick, former mayor of Harrisburg and one time Yale foot ball captain, was defeated in the race for the Governorship of this state, partly by the aid of the voters of his home city and his home county. McCormick polled 10,08:5 in the entire Dauphin county as compared with A 4.605 votes cast for Brumbaugh, the latter's majority in the county being 4.522.

Dr. Brumbaugh issued the following •tatement In Philadelphia: "I am greatly pleased with the ' •weeping victory. Tt reflects the peo pie 's confidence in the principles of the Bepublie&n party. Personally I am deeply gratified that the voters have j taken me at my word and I now re-1 .iterate e v ery pre-election promise and I pledge that I made in my platform and on the stump. I am perfectly satisfied! with the verdict of the people."' Vance C. McCormick, defeated can- 1 didate for Governor, issued the follow ing statement early to-day: "I have made the best fight in my power for what I believed was the good of Pennsylvania, but the party in pow er was made to bear the blame of busi ness conditions due to the European ' war. This combined with the organized opposition of the liquor interests de feated me.'' "It was a combination of booze and sanctimonious hypocriey that defeated the Democratic party in Pennsvlvania yesterday," said Fourth Assistant Post master General James I. Blakslee, at Democratic State Committee Headquar ters to-day. Mr. Blakslee had just been Star- ItikfJettktii in communication wit h Democratic leaders in the seventeenth Congres sional district and claimed that Con gressman Frank L. Dersheni, Demo crat, had defeated Ben K. Fooht, the Republican candidate. '•We are in good humor," said Mr. Blakslee. "We were licked and we do not think that any blame can be at tached to anybody for failure to do their duty. \\ e are in good humor, and the Democratic vote in this State met our expectations." Secretary VanDyke and Mr. Blakslee were holding the fort at Democratic tttate headquarters tbis morning, Htate Ohairlnan Morris having taken an early train for his Philadelphia home, and '..andidate Vance C. McCormick being at home "taking a rest,'* as it was ex plained. No action has been taken by the ■State committee on the alleged pur chase of votes and other alleged viola tions of election laws on the part of tne opposition, and until definite infor mation is received the matter will rest.

This is the outstanding feature of yes terday's general election, aside from which the general significant develop ment was the dwindling away of the strength of the Progressive party. The returns from every section of the coun try indicate that the Progressives, who cast a larg.r.vote than the Republicans in 1912, have been absorbed in large part by the G. O. P. In almost every case there was. a decisive falling off in the Progressive vote, with the conspicu ous exception of California, which ap parently has re-elected Hiram Johnson, its Progressive Governor. Republican gains were made in ev ery section of the country and leaders of that party asserted that the tariff issue has been instrumental in bring ing about that result. Some of the more optimistic of the leaders asserted early to-day that there was a chance that tho Democratic majority in the House of Representatives would be overturned, but there appeared to be small prospects of such an outcome. The result of btate elections was less definite. In a number of cases Democratic administrations were over" turned, but these were offset by in stances in which the reverse was the case.

Washington, Nov. 4.—Election re turns show that the Progressive vote • dropped in practically every State from its st-engtii of two years ago. This was pointed out" to-day as being | shown in a number of States by the ! election of former Republican members of Congress who were defeated previ ously because of the large Progressive vote. Such men included Cannon and McKinley in Illinois, Longworth in Ohio and Hill in Connecticut. According to to-day's returns, the Progressii es showed most strength in Kansas and California.

McCormick, the defeated candidate for Governor, is not in the least cast down over his defeat. He was at his office shortly before noon to*day, and had a cheery word for all.
