Reformers in Various City Elections Find Little
Encouragement in Returns. Tom Johnson
Loses, And Gibboney is Defeated
in Quaker City.
Elections were held yesterday In
many states and cities throughout the
country with varying results, there be
ing no national issue involved to briny
about concerted party uction.
In Massachusetts the returns up to
midnight Indicate that Governor Eben
Draper, republican, had been re-elected
over James H. Vahey, democrat,
by a greatly reduced majority, esti
mated at 10,000. Governor Draper's
majority last year was 60,000.
In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier,
republican, was re-elected over Olney
Arnold, democrat, by a substantial
majority.
In Virginia the returns indicate that
the democratic ticket headed by Judge
Mann, for governor, had been elected
by atbout the usual majority.
In New York City, which has been
the storm center of the state, Tam
many Hall scored a decisive triumph
In the mayoralty election. Judge Wil
liam J. Gaynor, the democratic nomi
nee, supported by Tammany, rolling
up a plurality of upward of 70,000
over Otto Bannard, republican, who ;n
turn, led William R. Hearst by ap
proximately" t'wemy-flve thousand.
In Philadelphia, another battle
ground on reform Issues, Samuel
P. Rotan, republican, was elected dis
tiict attorney over I). Clarence Gib
boney, representing the law and or
der society and the reform clement.

and counties of the state tin indica
tions are that Judge William I Indues
Mann, the democratic candidate for
governor has been elected over W. P.
Ki nt, the republican nominee, by
uliout 23.000 majority. Ilrvan's ma

3.1.000.
There was a considerable falling
olf from the vote polled last year but
t tie total ballot probably will be larg
er than was anticipated. While Ju.Ik--Mann
Is running a head l tin- rcinnin
der of the democratic ticket, all otlnr
