The result of Tuesday's election is a surprise to Democrats as well as to Republicans. It was generally believed that, Dix would be elected to the results in Ohio, New Jersey, Connerticutt, and Tennesee. If all the Congressional delegation from Norths Carolina elected are Democrats, as Returns seem to show, this will be one of the greatest sur-t prises. Favorable weather prevailed and the voting was lively everywhere. The national House of Repre sentatives has been carried by the Democrats, reversing the present Republican majority of 43. The United Stales Senate will probably have a reduced Republi can majority as a result of the leg islative elections held in many states. In New York Slate John A. Dix Democratic candidate for Governor, is Oleeted over Henry L. Stimson, Republican, by a plurality of about 55,000, reversing the Republican plurality of 75,0ut ill 1908 for Gov ernor Hughes.

In Connecticut Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, Democratic candidate, is elected Govenor, over Charles A. Goodwin, Republican, by about •i,OOO plurality, reversing the pre vious Republican plurality of 16,- 000. In Ohio Govenor Judson Harmon, Democrat*ie candidate for re-elec tion, appears to have carried the State by about 15,000 over Warren O. Harding. Republican candidate. In New Hampshire Hubert P. Mass, Republican candidate for re election is leading Charles E. Carr, Democratic candidate, by about 0,000 plurality. In Pennsylvania the election of John H.

In Oklahoma returns indicated that the Democrats probably gained 2 seats, due apparently to the oper ation of the grandfather clause, which debarred negro Republicans from voting. At Democratic headquarters In New Jersey it was claimed that the State would hold 8 seats, making a Democratic gain of 5. In West Virginia reports stated the Democrats had gained in 3 congressional districts. Missouri returns showed one known with 3 probable Democratic gains, while in lowa and Illinois the returns indicated that the Demo cratic gains would total 6 seats. In North Carolina returns indi cated Democratic gains probably would increase to three. A big surprise came from Wis consin, when 'the Kcpublicah com mittee conceded the election of Victor L. Berger, Social Democrat, to Congress from the fifth district, which is noyv held by the Demo crats. New York-* Returns indicate that A. Dix, Democrat, has been elected Governor of New York over Henry L Stimson, Republican, by between 55,000 and 65,000 plurality. These figures may be reduced or increas ed, by returns from up-State rural districts. «. New York City gives Dix a plural ity of at least 100,000, which more than offsets the greatly reduced plurality of the Republicans up- State. Two years ago the Greater city gave Chanler for Governor less than 60,(KM) plurality. The complexion of the Legislature which will eletfl a sucecsor to Sena tor Chauneey M. Depew, will be settled only by more complete re turns, although it seems probable that the Republicans will hold a working majority. In New YorE City, Herbert Par soris, Republican, was defeated for re-election as Representative to Congress by J. M. Levy, Democrat, as was William#*. Bennett, Repub lican, hv Henry George, Jr. Theodore Roosevelt's homo dis trict. in Oyster Bay, L V gave Dix a plurality of 204 as against a plu rality of 793 for Hughes in 1908. In Iltica Charles A. Talcott, Democrat. defeated Millington, Vice-President Sherman's nominee for Congress, bj 3,708. • f" ' • New York.—Henry L. Stimson attributes his defeat to causes na tion-wide and a general movement of the Republican party toward progressiveism. 'There seems to be a ground swell all over the country," "tie said, "and I was caught in it. I think it is only the beginning. We're begin ning to a realignment of po litical parties and the Republican party is going the agony of becom ing progressive. The returns speak JTor themselves. I have nothing to regret We've had a good clean tight. I was surprised that I ran so well up with the rest of the ticket." Greenville, S. C. —Returns from, many parts of Greenville county show a landslide*.victory for the prohibitionists on Ihe question of dispensary or no dispensary in this county, the. vote standing: 690 for; 1,928 against, representing prob ably .Iwo-lhirds of the vote polled. Concord, N. H.—The election as Governor of Robert P. Bass, of Peterslioro, who won the Republi can nomination on a progressive platform and for whom Colonel Roo sevelt spoke three limes, was indi cated by returns from about one half the towns and wards of the State. These early figures, if borne out, would give Rass a majority of 0,000 votes over his Democratic op ponent,' Clarence F.. Carr. of An dovcr. From the same returns the early indication was thai- Congressman Cyrus A. Sulloway in the first dis trict and Frank D. Currier in the second district both Republicans, would be returned to Congress by majorities somewhat reduced over their 9,(100 votes each of two years ago. Omaha, Neb.—Hitchcock.

When the boys appeared in the municipal court two of them were fined fifty dollars each and (he third twenty five dollars. The lads were arrested October 31. indication* are that the Republi cans have carried the Btale, in cluding a majority in both houses of the Legislature. In rural Newcastle county, outside of Wilmington, the wets defeated "the drys in the local option elec tion. Guthrie, Okla. - Early reports from Oklahoma election precincts indicated that the result on the State ticket would not be known for many hours. Both Democratic and Re publican State committees claim the ejection of their candidates for Gov ernor. New Orleans.—As usual, the Dem ocratic nominees for Congress and State offices were elected without exception. The constitutional amendments providing a State bond issue of 16,500,000 in support of the proposed international exposition to be held in New Orleans in 1915 were overwhelmingly adopted. Topeka, W. R. Stubbs, Republican, has undoubted ly been re-elected by a decreased majority over George Hodges. Six or eight Republican Congress men will be returned, it appears. The districts in doubt arc the third and the sixth. Philadelphia.—State'estimates are coming in slowly. Twenty-two out of 67 counties, including Alleghany in which is located Pittsburg, but not including Philadelphia, give Tener, Republican, for Governor an estimated -plurality r. of 10.000 over Berry, Keystone: Grim, Democrat, is running far behind.- Des Moines, lowa- Early indica tions are that lowa cities, contains ing half the vOte, have 4ndulgeMn Democratic landslide. Claude Porter, Democrat, for k>v crnor, claims the election by 10,000, but the Republicans declare the re sult is in doubt and that belated county districts will wipe out Por ter's lead. The normal Republican majority in the State is about 00,000. Nashville, Tenn.—Summed up, the result of Tuesday's election appears to be B. W. Hooper, Republican and Fusionist, chosen Governor by 15,000 to IH.OOO majority; B. A. Knloe, Democrat and Fusionist, by a like majority and a possible small fusion majority in the Legislature. Hoth sides claim the Senate. Alost of the middle and west Ten nessee, Democratic counties, nearly all of which went for the indepen dent judicial ticket in August last, returned to the regular column, but by such small majorities that they were overwhelmed by the Re publican vote in east Tennessee bounties. In the congressional races R. .W. Austin, Republican, appears to have defcaied N. W- Hale, independent Republican: Sells, Republican; de feated C. H. Lyle in the first. Z. D. Massey, Republican, was elected to fill out the unexpired term of W. P. Brownlow. In the eight other dis tricts the Democrats have won. Trenton, N. J.—Returns from the election in New Jersey were very slow in coining in, but figures avail able indicated the election oPWood row Wilson, Democrat, for Gover nor. the only State office to be filled, by between 10,000 lyul 20,000 plural ity over Vivian M. Lewis, his Re public,an opponent. Most of the early returns were from Republican strongholds and while they showed Lewis to be in the lead a falling off in the normal Republican vote was indicated, on which the Democratic claims for Wilson's success were based. Cleveland, O.—A. remarkable delay in the counting of the vote is re ported throughout the Slate because of much scratching of ballots. In complete official returns from out side the major cities indicates a gain for Governor Harmon o| approxi mately 5 votes to a precinft, which if carried throughout -the State would elect him bv a pluriality of more than 10,000.

The propoged constitutional amend ments apparently have been de feated. In North Carolina. Raleigh, N. C.—While the returns here are still indefinite in many re spects it seems certain that the Slate majority will be around 45,- 000 anyway, and there seems to b little or no question about the elec tion of both Doughlon in the eighth and Gudger in the tenth district Along with these results of * the election there are also evidence oi gains of probably ten Representa tives for the already overwhelming Democratic majority in the lower house of the General Assembly and possibly four Senators. * At midnight Tuesday State Chair man A. H. Eller gave out this state ment: The reports at this hour indicate election of all ten Democratic can didates for Congress. Also an in crease of about ten Democratic members of the House and four or live in the State Senate. Large gains have been made for the State ticket almost everywhere, the ex ceptions being a few counties, where there is practically no Republican parly and hence a light vote. The majority ought to be right around 50,000. Raleigh, N. C.—ln the first district Congressman John H. Small, Demo crat, was re-elected by a majority of over 7,000, a slight loss over the previous election. He had opposi tion.
