i NEW YORK
Democrats Sweep State For
Governor and Entire Ticket.
BLOW TO COL ROOSEVELT
The Entire State Ticket Is Elected
For the First Time Since 1894—Re
publicans Lost Several Congress
men.
New York, Nov. 9. —New York state
elected the whole Democratic state
ticket. Dix, Democrat, defeated Stim
son. Republican, for governor by 100,-
000 plurality. For the first time alnce
1894 the Democrats will control the
executive departments of the Btate
government, after Jan. 1.
In 1900 Hughes, Republican, carried
the state by a plurality of 57,897 over
Hearst, Democrat, and in 1908, a pres
idential year, Hughes beat Chanler, a
Democrat, by 69,462.
This year the candidates for minor
offices on the Democratic ticket ran
well up with Stimson.
In 1906 the Democratic candidates
for all state offices except governor
were elected. In 1902 Cuneen, Demo
crat and Prohibition, was elected at
torney general. With these exceptions
the men elected are the first Demo
crats chosen to office since 1894, when
Flower was elected governor.
Dix Got Labor Vote.
The railroad labor vote, as shown
by returns from Hornell and other
railroad traffic centers up tho state,
has gone against the Republicans, not
withstanding the strenuous efforts of
Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst's
newspapers to make the tag of "thir
teen hours a day" stick to John A.
Dix.
Congressman Herbert Parsons, for
merly chairman of the Republican
county committee here, is defeated by
Jefferson M. Levy, in the Thirteenth
district. The election of J. Sloat Fas
sett, in the Thirty-third district, is in
doubt. His home city of Elmira went
against him by 1100, anil the city of
Corning gave 300 plurality for his op
ponent, Edwin S. Underbill.
In the Oneida-Herkimer senatorial
district Senator Davenport, the leader
of the ill ill; gents* there, is probably
deleute'i. Utica, Vice President Sher
man's home city, went against Daven
port by 2500.
Congressman Sereno E. Payne, the
joint author of the tariff bill, got a
black eye in his home city of Auburn,
but is re-elected. The Democrats have
made gains for the assembly, but it is
probable the senate will remain Re
publican, possibly a majority of three
or four.
Roosevelt Loses Home District.
In Roosevelt's own home district,
the Filth of Nassau county, Dix won
out with a plurality of 50 votes. Tho
district is normally Republican by 125
votos. The reasons which operated to
bring about this result In Roosevelt's
own district evidently apply to the
whole state of New York, especially
to In the farming sections.
Tho Democratic state headquarters
claims that the Democrats have car
ried the legislature and will elect tho
successor to Senator Dv pew.
Returns indicate that the Republi
cans have lost every congressional
district in Manhattan and the Bronx.
The result is regarded as a severe
blow to Colonel Theodore RoosevelL
who made a whirlwind campaign in
behalf of Mr. Stimson, who was nomi
nated at the convention of which Mr.
Roosevelt was temporary chairman.
Those personally and politically op
posed to Mr. Roosevelt made a lif vd
fight for Dix.

LAPORTE, SULLIVAN COUNTY PA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1910.
JOHN A. DIX. P
i
Elected Governor of New York
on Democratic Ticket.
INDIANA IN DOUBT
Vote Is Very Close, With Democrats
In the Lead.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9. —Reportu
from about one-third of tho state out
side of Marion county show that the
vote is very close on the state ticket
but that the Democrats are leading b*
a slight majority.
In order to overcome the vote oi
1906, with which comparisons are be
Ing made, they must gain nine votes
to the precinct. The returns show that
the average gain is about seven to the
precinct, with only a small percentage
of the country precincts reported.
While the Republican legislative
ticket, consisting of eight candidates
for representative and one candidate
for senator, is making a better show
ing than the state ticket, there is nc
possibility of its being elected.
This counts strongly against Senator
Beveridge, and his managers are
greatly discouraged over the vote in
this county. They admit that the out
look is bad, but they don't concede
that the legislature will be Democrat
ic, though the indications are now that
it will be.
HARMON CARRIES OHIO
Democratic Governor Re-elected b>
50,000 Plurality.
Cleveland. 0., Nov. 9. —Ohio Joined
In the Democratic landslideing by re
electing Governor Judson Harmon by a
plurality which the Democratic state
headquarters estimates at better than
50,000.
The state ticket under the governor
ship is in doubt. The legislature also
is in doubt, though Democratic victor
ies in Lucas, Hamilton, Cuyahoga and
other big counties indicates a possible
Democratic majority on Joint ballot.
The election of only a few congress
men is assured, those certainly elect
ed being: J. H. Oeeke, Dem., Fourth
district; W. A. Ashbrook, Dem., Seven
teenth; James M. Cox, Dem., Third;
Nicholas Longworth, Rep., First. Jas.
Cassidy, Twenty-first, and Paul How
land, Twentieth, both Republicans, are
probably defeated by R. H. Bulkley
and William Gordon. Democrats.
Dix Renews Platform Pledges.
Thompson, N. Y., Nov. 9. —John A.
Dix said: "The crisis has been met
by the sober common sense of good
citizenship. The door has been open
ed for reform, retrenchment and hon
est administration. As governor I
shall adhere to the strict performance
of the pledges of the party platform."
TENER WINS IN
PENNSYLVANIA
Republican Nominee Elected by
Reduced Plurality,
6RIM HOPELESSLY LOST
l r „ I
Berry, Keystone Candidate, Ran Sec
ond and Was Strong In Western
Counties.
Philadelphia, Nov. 9. —Pennsylvania,
the bulwark Tor years of Republican
ism, held her own and elected a Re
publican governor, returned a legisla
ture overwhelmingly Republican and
will also send to congress a great ma
jority of Republicans.
It Is estimated that the plurality of
John K. Tener, Republican candidate
for governor, will reach 25,000. Grim,
the Democratic candidate, is hopelessly
lost.
Hon. John Dalzell, Republican, was
re-elected in the Thirtieth congres
sional district.
The Keystone leaders had confident
ly claimed the western part of the
state for their candidate, William H.
Berry, but returns from the western
counties seemed to show that Teuer
would have a safe plurality there, too.
If the ratio of the early returns from
Allegheny county is maintained the
Republican nominee will carry that
county by a plurality of about 25,000.
There was an unusualy heavy vote
at the polls in all parts of the state,
and workers for the three big parties
bent every effort to getting out every
follower who had registered. In west
ern Pennsylvania particularly the fight
was waged with a fierceness that
stirred many a chronic stay-at-home
pollwards.
Throughout the state the split tick
et seemed to predominate. There was
so much cutting that the voting pro
gressed slower than usual and kept
the polls thronged almost all the time.
Though there was snow and rain in
many counties this had little effect on
the vote.
Reports from Pittsburg and the
western counties indicated a sentiment
for Berry that was said to surprise
even the Keystone leaders. Betting
there favored the Keystone ticket.
Secretary of State Philander C. Knox
went to Pittsburg to vote, but was un
able to do so because ho had neglect
ed to register.
In the central counties the state
tickets ran a neck and neck race, al
though in most of these counties the
election of local Republicans Is pre
dicted. Lancaster county expects to
send almost the entire Republican del
egation to the state legislature.
Reports from West Chester declare
that the re-election of Congressman
Thomas S. Butler. Republican, in the
Chester-Delaware district, Is generally
conceded.
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC
Sole Republican Congressman Ousted
by the Democrats.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 9. For the
first tlmo in years Virginia will be
represented in the next congress by a
solid Democratic delegation, Stuart,
the Democratic nominee in the Ninth
district, having won out over Slemp,
the Republican incumbent, who was
seeking re-election. All the other
Democratic candidates were elected,
including Holland, in the Second dis
trict, and Saunders, the present In
cumbent, In the Fifth.
A Democratic legislature also •vs
elected to choose a successor to
mer Governor Claude A. Swanson, who
was appointed to the United States
senate to fill out the unexpired term
of the late Senator Daniel.
The state also voted on proposed
constitutional amendments to make
the session of the general assembly
90 days long instead of 60 days; to al
16w county and city treasurers to suc
ceed themselves In office Immediately;
to provide that commissioners of the
revenue be elected by the people and
may hold office indefinitely, and to pro
vide that a bill may be read only once
at length in each house of the general
assembly, instead of three times, as
at present.
NEW HAMPSHIRE

LIQUOR FIGHT IN FLORIDA
Voted on State Wide Prohibition and
Both Sides Claim Victory.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 9. —Interest
in the election in Florida centered in
the state wide prohibition contest. A
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of all liquors
in the state was voted upon. Both
sides claim victory and the official
canvass will be required. The indica
tions are that the antl-prohibitionlsts
have carried the election by about
2000 majority, but this Is by no means
certain.
The Republicans had no ticket in
the field for congress or for state of
fices. The present congressional dele
gation, S. M. Parkman, from the First
district; Frank Clark, from the Sec
ond, and D. H. Mays, from the Third,
were all re-elected by larger majori
ties than usual, the only opposition be
ing Socialists in the First and Third,
and Socialist and Independent in the
Second.
DELAWARE REPUBLICAN
Insures Re-election of Dupont to Unit
ed States Senate.
Wilmington. Del., Nov. 9. —The re
turns from Delaware arrived slowly.
The indications are that the state has
gone Republican by a safe majority.
This includes the legislature. If this
should be borne out. as is expected,
Senator Dupont, Republican, will be
re-elected. Representative in Congress
Heald, administration Republican, is
re-elected. In Wilmington the Re
publicans elected three of the five leg
islative representatives.
A Republican state senator is also
elected. Aldeu B. Richardson, Repub
lican, son of United Slates Senator
Richardson, Is elected to the state
senate from Kent county. In rural
New Castle county all of the county
outside of Wilmington, the wets de
feated the urys in a local option elec
tion.

WILSON WINS
IN NEWBSEY
Democrat Gubernatorial Candi
date Elected by 20,000.
(L S, SENATOR IN OOUBT
But Republicans May Keep Control of
the Legislature Lewis Loses In
Southern Part of State.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 9. -Woodrow
Wilson, Democrat, was elected gover
nor of New Jersey, defeating Vivian
M. Lewis, Republican, by a plurality
of 20,000. This may be greatly in
creased when complete returns liuve
been received.
Whether the Democratic landslide
for the head of the ticket will carry
with It control of the legislature ami
the election of a Democratic United
States senator is In doubt.
The early indications were that the
Republicans would remain in control
of both the senate and assembly. They
surely will control the senate.
The earliest returns were from the
few voting machines scattered
throughout the state, but these showed
figures so pronouncedly for Wilson
that there was little question as to
what would be the result when tulle,
returns were received.
Lewis had expected the large com
muter vote in North Jersey togo
hoavlly aguinst him. but believed he
would more than make up these losses
in the Republican strongholds of South
Jersey, especially in Camden and At
lantic counties.
When the Camden county voting
machine returns showed that Lewi
was running far behind Fort and fig
ures from several of the other usually
very strong Republican counties were
likewise discouraging to the Republi
cans, they saw It was only a matter
of how great would be Wilson's plu
rallty.
Not even the most sanguine of the
election prophets In Democratic ranks
hart i returns so favoribl" t'\
Wilson, and the Republican leaders at
the headquarters here attributed the
overthrow of their candidate as largely
due to the great feeling of unrest and
the Democratic landslide that had been
threatening for some time to sweep
the country.
What is considered by some as a
master stroke on the part of the Wil
son campaign managers came to light
when It was noted that the packages
of Wilson "stickers" for use on Re
publican ballots bore the "union label"
trademark. Most of the Lewis stick
ers likewise bore the label, but in
Wilson's case It was especially signifi
cant by reason of the question that
arose during the campaign as to
whether tho Democratio nominee was
a friend of organled labor.
CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATIC
Democratic Candidate, Who Was Scor
ed by Roosevelt, Elected Governor.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 9. —Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin, Democrat, was
elected governor of Connecticut by a
plurality of 6000.
The Republicans admit that the con
grossional seat in the Second district,
so long held by N. D. Sperry, dean of
the house, is In danger of going to
Thomas L. Rellly, Democrat.
The Republicans have so many local
fights on their hands that indications
point to a gain of from 00 to 70 seats
in the general assembly for the Demo
crats. The use of the Australian bal
lot for the first time at a general elec
tion and the expected closeness of the
vote for governor have raised specula
tion as to the possibility of the election
being thrown into the courts over pro
tested bnllots thrown out by local
moderators.

CONGRESS DEMOCRATIC
Republicans Lose Probably Enough to
Cost Them Contest.
New York, Nov. 9.—At the Demo
cratic congressional headquarters in
this city is is asserted that the Re
publicans have lost control of con
gress.
Returns from New England states,
New York and New Jersey indicate
that the Republicans have lost enough
seats in congress to turn the control
over to tha Democrats.
Speaker Cannon has been re elected
in Danville, 111.
Nicholas Long worth has been re
elected in Ohio.
The vet. ,an v.iby has been defeat
ed In VU eh' >?» <1 «-
The Massachusetts majority in con
gress has fallen off. A striking exam
ple to show the trand of the voting in
Massachusetts for memkers of con
gress is found in the Twelfth district,
where Weeks' majority two years ago
of 12,000 is reduced to 5000.
There are notable Republican re
verses in the New York state con
gressional delegation. It looks as if
every Republican candidate for con
gress In the city of New York was de
feated, with the possible exception of
Herbert Parsons, who has pulled up
in the running against Jefferson M.
Levy in the later returns. Forty-two
election dl3tricUs In the ThirU>ejith
senatorial district show that Levy has
a majority over Parsons by only
about 100. J. Sloat Fassett in the
Thirty-third congressional district, is
probably defeated.
One of the hottest congressional
flfhts in New York state was in the
First district, where Cocks, Colonel
Roosevelt's personal congressman, was
defeated by Martin W. Littleton.
While nothing like final or authori
tatlve congressional figures can be
given, the indications are that the
house will be Democratic by a very
small majority, perhaps as small as
from ten to twelve.
The Republicans held their own in
Pennsylvania, the Eleventh congres
sional district being the** only one
known to be absolutely lost t"o the Re
publicans at this time.
Republica: s Carry Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 9.—The Re
publicans gained a sweeping victory in
Wisconsin, electing F. E. McGovern,
the gubernatorial candidate, by 50,000
and returning LaFoliette to the sen
ate by an even greater plurality
