niau Mudd in Maryland, was unavail
ing. Mr. Mudd's election is declared.
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of tho
Eighteenth Illinois district was elect
ed to congress for (ho seventeenth

C.500.
Perhaps tho widest genoral interest
in tho elections centered In the re
piarkablo light for governor which had
been waged In New York stato be
tween Charles B. Hughes, tho Repub
lican candidate, who throughout tho
campaign had tho support of Presi
dent Roosevelt, and William Randolph
!lIoarBt, who has been running as tho
Tegular Democratic and Independent
loaguo nominee. Tho latest returns
iivallablo show that Mr. Hughes, whllo
losing nearly all of tho principal cities
oftho state, was successful by about
GO.OOO.nlurallty. The rural districts
brought about tho Republican victory.
In New York city, tho Tammany-ln-dopondenco

STUART WINS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Republican Candidate Elected Gov
ernor by Over 100,000 Plurality.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Tho most ex
citing campaign in Pennsylvania in
twenty-flvo years has ended In a trl-
umph for Edwin S. Stuart (Rep.), for
Euvuinor, over j.owis ornery, jr.,
tuem. aim i.mcom party; uy a piuiai-
uy mm uio uepuuiican teauors cuuiu
will reach 100,000. Aside from the
uuuiuHi. ior governor una ouiur siutu
olllcors, tho chief Interest centered In
the battle In Philadelphia for district
attorney nnd In a few of tho congres
sional districts. Members of tho
house of representatives and county
olllcors wero elected In ovcry county
and stnto senators were chosen In
twenty-flvo of tho fifty districts. Sam
uel P. Rotan (Rep.) was elected dis
trict attorney in Philadelphia by a
voto which his friends claim will ex
ceed 40,000, defeating D. Clarence Gib
honey, who had tho support of tho re
form forces and the Democrats.
The incoming legislature will bo
Btrongly Republican, nlthough not so
ovorwholmlngly for that party as it
was two years ago.
Ono of the chlof Issues In tho stnto
campaign was th new capitol, which
was dedicated Oct. 4. Tho fuslonlsts
claimed that several million dollnrs of
overcharges and duplications are rep
resented In furnishing and equipping
the building. Tho Republican candi
dates pledged themselves,, if elected,
to Investigate honestly these charges
and to place tho responsibility for tho
alleged extravagance whoro It right
fully bolonged.
Of the congressional contests, tho
hottest was that against John Dalzell,
ono of tho Republican floor leaders.
Complete returns from all the Penn
sylvania congressional districts glvo
tho Republicans twenty-six and tho
Democrats six. Tho Democrats had
only ono representative from tho
stato in the present congress.
Indiana.

have elected their entire stato ticket
In Indiana by an estimated majority
of between 40,000 and 50.000. Tho
next legislature will be Republican.
Republicans have olected six congress
men, in tho First, Sixth, Seventh,
Ninth, Tenth and Thirteenth districts.
Tho Democrats have elected two, in
tho Third and Fourth districts. Ro
publican Stato Chairman Goodrich
claims tho election of Fred Hindis in
tho Eleventh. Democratic Chairman
O'Bilun claims the election of Morr lu
tho Twelfth and Adair In tho Eighth.
Returns from tho Second and Fifth
districts aro not sufficient to justify
