REPUBLICAN
LANDSLIDE
Early Returns Indicate Sweep-
ing Republican Victory
BIG STATES GO REPUBLICAN
@hio, New York, Pennsylvania and
Blew Jersey Desert Democracy.
Many Old Timers “Come
> Back.”
Washington, D. C. — Returns from
@ongressional districts throughout the
eountry indicate that Democratic con-
#rol of the National House of Repre-
@entatives has been reduced to a bare
working majority, if it has not been
wiped out altogether as a result of
she Republican landslide in senatorial
and congressional elections.
Pennsylvania, of course, led the way
for sweeping House gains, the indica-
gions being that in-the next delegation
will stand 27 Republicans, seven Dem-
ecrats and two Progressives. This is
a distinct loss for both Democratic and
Progressive parties.
Many of the old-time war horses of
ghe Republican party have been decis-
#vely elected. These include former
iBpeaker Joseph G. Cannon of Dan-
wille, I1l.; former Representative Wil-
liam B. McKinley of Champaign, IL;
{Sereno E. Payne, of Auburn, N. Y.;
‘Joseph W. Fordney, re-elected in Mich-
dgan; former Representative Nicholas
Yongworth of Cincinnati, O.
New Jersey returns indicate big Re-
\ publican gains in the House. The Re-
publicans have not one member from
New Jersey in the present House. In-
dications are that there will be seven
Republicans and only five Democrats
in the next House.
The Republican victory includes the
election of Senators in such States as
Pennsylvania, where Boies Penrose is
re-elected to succeed himself; Warren
©. Harding, in Ohio, to succeed Sena-
for Theodore E. Burton; James W.
Wadsworth, in New York, to succeed
Elihu Root; Jacob H. Gallinger, in
New Hampshire; Frank B. Brandegee,
$n Connecticut, and the possibility of
Republicans in Indiana and Colorado
to succeed Senators Benjamin F.
Shively and Charles S, Thomas, Dem-
ecrats. ;
Results in districts which are still
4n doubt will decide whether the Dem-
ecrats are to maintain control of the
House by a narrow margin. It is now
eertain, however, that the Republican
sweep in Pennsylvania, New York,
€onnecticut, -New Hampshire and
ether States will deciminate the pres-
ent Democratic majority of 145.
Democratic leaders had expected
there would be six Democratic acces-
sions in the Senate, but they are doom-
ed to disappointment. Illinois is still
doubtful, but if Lawrence Y. Sherman
wins in Illinois and Harding in Ohio
‘there ‘will not be a single Democratic
gain in the Senate, while the Demo-
cratic majority in the House will have
diminished tothe disappearing point.
The election of a Republican Sena-
tor in Indiana is predicted. If the
final reports bear out the prediction,
jt will mean the defeat of Senator
Shively, Democrat, and the impair-
ment of even the present Democratic
strength in the Senate.

DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR

Gains Three More Congressmen.
Boston, Mass.—The vote for Gover-
por in 800 out of 1,125 election dis-
tricts follows:
McCall (Rep.) 120,215, Walker
Prog.) 20,468, Walsh (Dem.) 142,522.
P. F. Teague, Democrat, was elected
to Congress in the Tenth Massachu-
setts District. A. T. Treadway, (Rep.),
was re-elected in the First. Calvin D.
Paige (Rep.), was reelected in the
Third district.
Bull Moosers returned to the Repub-
fican ranks in droves and as a result
Governor David I. Walsh barely
squeezed through for re-election over
Samuel W. McCall, the Republican
mominee. The indications are that
Walsh has plurality of 15,000, while a
year ago he led Charles S. Bird, Pro-
gressive, by 55,612, Joseph Walker,
‘the Bull Moose candidate for Gover-
nor, polled fewer than 40,000 votes as
against 127,655 cast for Bird a year
&gO.
¢ Returns from the congressional con-
fest are incomplete but show the Re-
publicans have added three more and
have prospects of winning another.
The Legislature is Republican by an
increased majority.

PALMER AHEAD OF PINCHOT
The Majorities for State Candidates
Run Into the Six Figure Propor-
tions, Indicating the Great Change
in Sentiment of the Voters.
Philadelphia,—Republicans made a
clean-up in Tuesday's election in
Pennsylvania. They regained much
of their old time power and elected
their State candidates, as follows:
United States Senator—Boies Pen-
rose.
Governor—Martin G. Brumbaugh.
Lieutenant Governor—Frank B. Mc-
Clain.
Secretary of Internal Affairs—Hen-
ry Houck.
Congressman-at-Large—John R. K.
Scott, Daniel F. Lafean, Mahlon M.
Garland and Thomas S. Crago.
Brumbaugh’s majority for Governor-
ship over Vance C. McCormick, the
Democratic-Washington party nomi-
nee, probably is in excess of 100,000.
Penrose may have a plurality of equal
size over his nearest opponent, as the
vote against him was divided between
Gifford Pinchot, Washington party
candidate, and A. Mitchell Palmer,
Democratic nominee.
BOIES PENROSE,
Re-Elected to United States Senate.
Judge Frank M. Trexler, the ap-
pointee of Governor Tener to the Su-
perior Court, was elected by a big ma-
jority over James E. Clark on the
Non-partisan ticket.
Judge Robert S. Frazer, for Justice
of the State Supreme Court, probably
is elected. The voie for Supreme
Court Judge in 34 of the 48 wards in
Philadelphia was: Frazer, 77,154;
Kunkel, 43,891.
MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH,
Next Governor of Pennsylvania.

gation now is 18 Republicans, 12 Dem-
ocrats and six Progressives. In the

bers from the State may total 29 apd
the Democrats three.
the Republicans will be in a‘'great ma-
jority.
HON. ROBERT S. FRAZER
Elected Supreme Court Judge.
Democrats Win In Missouri.
St. Louis—Returns from Missouri
early indicated that William J. Stone,
Democrat, had been re-elected to the
United States Senate by a modest
majority. Thomas J. Akins, the Re-
publican nominee, had a good lead in
®t Louis in the early returns. Re-
smblican gains were shown in the
state and Republican headquarters
slaimed that the result was in doubt.

and Borland in the Fifth.

publican, as congressman and that
Governor John M. Haines, Republi-
| can, has been defeated.

Detroit, Mich. — Fragmentary re-

mer Governor Chase S. Osborne, Rep.,
would be an exciting one.

The News From the States Holding
Elections This Year as Far as
Reported to Headquar-
ters of the Parties.
Cleveland, —Frank -B. Willis has
been elected Governor by upward of
30,000 plurality and Warren G. Hard-
ing United States Senator by between
60,000 and 80,000.
With them the Republicans have un-
doubtedly elected their entire State
ticket a majority in both branches of
the General Assembly and at least 10
of the 22 Congressmen from Ohio.
Governor Cox carried Cuyahoga, Lu-
cas and Franklin counties. Willis car-
ried Montgomery, the home county of
Cox, by 1,000 and Hamilton county by
2,000.
Governor Cox banked on a heavy
vote in the large counties to elect
him, but his defeat in Hamilton county
put him out of the running, the rural
counties showing unprecedented Re-
publican gains and insuring the elec-
tion of Willis. .

oe
FRANK B. WILLIS,
Governor-Elect of Ohio.
Partial returns gave Willis estimat-
ed pluralities of 3,000 in Trumbull
county, 800 in Wood, 650 in Knox, 600
in Scioto, 500 in Stark, 500 in Darke,
1,000 in Perry, 200 in Hancock, 1,750
in Greene, 100 in Preble, 600 in High-
land, 750 in Richland, and substantial
pluralities in Muskingum and Cham-
plain counties.
Incomplete returns indicated Cox
had carried by greatly decreased plu-
ralities Sandusky, Seneca, Licking,
Erie and Auglaize counties.
At no time did the election of Hard-
ing for Senator appear in doubt. He
ran ahead of his ticket in all parts of
the State.
Cincinnati.— Partial returns from al-
most every part of the State of Ohio
indicate that Warren G. Harding,
Rep., is establishing a substantial lead
over Timothy S. Hogan, Dem., and Ar-
United States Senator to succeed
Theodore L. Burton, Rep.
Partial returns from all parts of
Ohio indicate that the amendment ex-
tending suffrage to women has been
defeated: that the one asking for
state-wide prohibition has met a like
fate and that the home rule for cities
amendment will probably carry.
Indiana Re-Elects Shively.
Indianapolis.—There were surprises
in the election in Indiana, the unex-
pected strength of Hugh Miller, the
Republican candidate for Senator,
and the poor showing of the ‘Progres-
sive candidate. Senator. Shively is
probably re-elected.
.
Rhode Island Close.
Trenton.—President Wilson’s home
congressional district has elected Eli-
jah C. Hutchinson, Rep., by about
2,000 plurality. Returns indicate
strong Republican gains throughout
the state.
Democrats will retain control of the
state Senate by the same vote as last
year, 11 to 10, and that the Assembly
that was last year Democratic will
this year be Republican by about 38
to 2.
Democrats Carry Tennessee.

Thomas C. Rye, Democratic candidate
for governor of Tennessee, is conced-
ed by managers of the campaign of
Governor Ben W. Hooper, Rep.-Fus.
candidate for re-election.

N. Y. REPUBLICANS
MADE CLEAN SWEEP
Whitman Elected Governor By
Overwhelming Majority
New York. — District Attorney
Charles S. Whitman (Rep.) was elect-
ed Governor of New York by an esti-
mated plurality of 110,000 over Martin
H. Glynn (Dem.), the incumbent.
William Sulzer, who was impeached
and removed from office in the fall of
1913, running on the Prohibition and
American party tickets, finished third.
Prederick M. Davenport (Prog.), ran
fourth. :
James W. Wadsworth (Rep.), de-
feated James W. Gerard (Dem.) for
the United States senatorship bY
about 45,000. Bainbridge Colby
(Prog.) was third with a vote that
probably will not exceed 50,000.
In 4,081 districts out of 5,661 in the
State, the vote for Governor stood:
Whitman 529,336, Glynn 153,278, Sulzer
80.540, Davenport 37,963.
CHARLES S. WHITMAN,
Governor-Elect of New York.
In 2,029 districts out of the total of
5,661 the vote for Senator stood:
Wadsworth 254,607, Gerard 237,742,
Colby 29,602. k \
At Republican headquarters it was
asserted that their entire State ticket
and a majority of their candidates for
both Houses of the Legislature had
‘been elected.
Supporters of Gov. Glynn had hoped
that he would carry Greater New York
by 105,000 and that Mr. Whitman
would come down to Harlem with no
more than a plurality of 75,000, These
hopes soon were dissipated. Virtually
complete returns from the city indi-
cated that Glynn probably would have
a plurality of between 50,000 and 60,-
000 here and that Whitman's up-state
lead would be well upwards of 175,000.
Wadsworth polled a good vote in
Greater New York, approximately
two-fifths of the total number of dis-
tricts giving Gerard a lead of only
30,000 over his opponent. At the same
time Wadsworth had a 50,000 lead in
“a little less than one-third of the up-
| state districts.:
Uncle Joe Returned.
| Chicago, IlL.—Roger Sullivan, Demo-
cratic candidate for United States Sen-
ator, has carried Chicago by at least
65,000 plurality, Robins, Progressive,
‘runs third to Sherman, Republican.
Whether Sullivan is elected cannot be
definitely stated until later State re-
| turns . are received. Representative
James R. Mann, Republican House
leader, was re-elected in the Scond dis-
trict. Former Speaker Joseph G. Can-
non has carried the Eighteenth dis-
| trict by 3,500 over Frank O’Hair, Dem-
"ocratic incumbent. Other gains for
Republicans are shown in other Re-
publican Congressional districts. Wil-
liam B. McKinley being elected in the
Nineteenth.

Delaware Defeats Democrats.
| Wilmington, Del—Secretary of State
T. W. Miller, Republican, was elected
as Delaware’s only representative in
Congress over Franklin Brockson,
Democrat, the present incumbent, by
a plurality that will exceed 500. The
| legislature will probably be close. The
' Republicans also elected Swain, state
| treasurer, and Duff, state auditor.
West Virginia Republican.
Charleston, W. Va.—Scattered re-
iurns indicate Republicans have elect-
ed five of six Congressmen, losing the
Second district, where Brown will suec-
