RETURNS COMING IN SLOWLY Loomis Makes Gains In Home County, but Fails to Hold His Own in Fusion Strongholds Looses Doug las County. Lincoln, Nov. C The Republican ticket was clouted In Nebraska by a plurality for its head of not Icsh tliun 0,000 and poHKlbly as high as 17,000. J ml bo M. J. Ileese, for justice of tho supreme court, was especially strong hi Douglas (Omaha) and' Lancaster (Lincoln) counties, his plurality for thu two being placed at over 5,000. .Judge Loomis, the fusfon candidate, mado gains In his home county of Dodge, as well as in Otoe. Cass and Richardson, all populous counties, but he hardly held his own in counties heretofore regarded as ftirfon strong holds. State Chairman Hayward, for the Republican committee, said that too few precincts had been beard from to make it possible or worth while to estimate majorities. It was fcafo to say, however, that Reese had been elected by a satisfactory plural ity, probably close to 15,000. Chairman Allen of tho Democratic committee Mild: "The two big coun ties, Douglas and Lancaster, have gone pretty strongly against us, but wc have not given up hope. We have made good gains in other counties usually Republican, but the returns are too meager to warrant, any claims or even to make an intelligent esti mate." It is generally conceded that if Judge Reese is elected, he carries with him the two Republican candi dates for legcnts ot the State iinlver ity. There has been no doubt at any time on railroad commissioner, Henry T. Clarke, .Ir. (Rep.), having no op position, e.vept by the Socialists. The city of Lincoln gave its homo candidate on the state ticket, .Judge M. D. Rees a handsome plurality, the vote being on complete count: Reese (Rep.), 2,ii0r; Loomis (Dem.). 1.07:5. Tho estimate on the county Is that Reese will have a plurality of 2,-WO. The entire Republican county ticket is elected. TOM JOHNSON WINS BY 5,000 Congressman Burton Loses Fight for Mayor of Cleveland. Cle eland, Nov. !.- Mayor Tom L. Johnson was elected for the fourth time as major of Cleveland, in a hard fought battle, In which the Republican ticket was headed by Congressman 'iheodore 15. Uurton, chairman of the bouse committee on rhers and har bors. Chairman Raker of the Republican committee concedes the election of TOM L. JOHNSON. Johnson by 5,000 plurality. At the Johnson headquarters his majority is placed at a higher figure, and the election of the entire city Democratic ticket is indicated by' 5,000 or more. The Democrats elected a majority of the councilmeu. Congressman Burton made consid erable gains over tin vote of two years rgo, when William II. Hoyd was the Republican candidate, but the gain was not sntllclent to oercomo the strong lead. The official count In 130 of 214 pre cincts gave Johnson 2.'l,00O, Burton 20, 439. tTho present ratio, if maintained, , would give JoluiHon a majority of over 1,000. Late returns indicate that the whole IK I 7"J crT Democratic ticket has been elected, except three members of the board of f.ducntlon. The Democrats Ineiease their present majority in tho city council. Mayor Johnson's victory was won on an Issue of 3-cent fares on street railwnys of the city. SEVEN ILLINOISJOUNTIES "DRY" Two Hundred and Fifty Saloons Voted Out of Business, Chicago, Nov. b'. -At the first test of the new local option law made iti Illi nois counties, not under, township oi gunizations, seven counties went un qualifiedly for prohibition and in many former license strongholds the prohibition forces weie in a measure vlctotiotia. The claim was made at the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon League at Springfield that in the six teen counties voting, 150 saloons bad been, forced out of business and thai 00 per cent of the leiritory affected had been bi ought Into tho "dry' terri tory. At Jacksonville, thirty-two sa loons were voted out, and at DikiuoIu, where a sharp light was waged be tween the two elements, the Prohi bitionists won by 26 votes. In the southern Illinois counties, the mining towns without exception went dry. The following counties bad, been re ported In the Prohibition column at midnight: Williamson, Union, Hard in, Johnson, Mason, Morgan, Perry. Pope. Pulaski, Scott, Wabash, Cal houn and Cass. San Francisco. San Francisco, Nov. C. This morn ing a totaling of the partial returns indicates the election of almost the en tire good government city and county tickets, including mayor, district at torney, board of supervisors, treasur er, assessor, tax collector, recorder, city attorney, public administrator, sheriff, (oroner and two police Judges. The Union Ijibor party may have saved its incumbents lu the offices of auditor and county clerk. On a basis of 10 per cent count of the votes In 24! of the 27:t precincts with the Mission dlst.fct largely to be beard from Mayor Taylor's plurality over the Union Labor candidate. P. 11. Mc Carthy, should approximate 3,000; Dis trict Attorney Lungdon'ji plurality over McOowan, the Union Labor nominee, 18.000; with Ryan (Rep.) running a poor third In the mayoralty race. It is not likely that the full counts of all the precincts, which may not be com pleted before a late hour today, will mntei hilly change the apparent re sults. Rhode Island. Providence. Nov. . Returns from the voting districts of Rhode Island filtered Into the city very slowly. The figuies showed little relative change from last year. On the tace of the re turns, Governor James II. Iliggins, the Di'inociatic candidate for ie-elee-lion, has made a sli;,ht gain over his vote of hist year. The returns at hand are Horn the ruial districts, where the Republicans are always in the ascend anc. and showed that Lieutenant Governor Frederick Jackson, the Re publican candidate for governor, was in the lead. Hlggins' strength, how ever, Is in tin' cities and it was be lieved that when all the returns were In he would be elected. This result .Is assured by comparing figures with those of a year ago. Markbeit Elected Mayor of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Nov. tl. By a decisive pluralitj Colonel Leopold Markbett, the veteran German editor, ana foini er United States minister to Bolivia, was elected mayor of Cincinnati on the Republican ticket mid carried with him the entire Republican ticket. The campaign had been a vlgoions one, but the tact that Mayor Dempsey. who was elected two years ago by a combination of Democrats and munic ipal party, was tills 'year the candidate of the Democrats only, and was op posed by many former supporters, who gave the Republicans additional support in their claims that the Dempsey administration had been a failure. Virginia. i Richmond, Nov. li. The election in Irginla was only for candidates to botli brunches of the legislature. The Democrats will control both branches l the tiMial majorities. In the Llglilb congiehslonal district, C. C. Carlarlin oi Alexandria (Dem.) was elected to succeed Congressman J. F. Rixej by an ovens-helming majoilty. The election in the Ninth congres sional dlstiict to (Ul the unexpired term of Campbell Slemp iRep.) will not lie held until Dec. 17. Anti-Mormons Win in Salt Lake. Salt Luke, Nov. t!. .Municipal can didates of the American (anti-Mor-moii) party will huvu (he largest plu rality ever given In this city. Rnui flird, lor nu;.or,' will have lil.oOo plu rality over IMiimmer (Rep.) and Mor ris (Dem.), whose strength Is very evenly divided. The Americans will control the council. They have been in power for the past two yeais. Sheatz Elected State Treasurer. Philadelphia, Nov. . -John O. Sheatz of Philadelphia (Rep.) was elected state treasuier over John G. llarnian of Columbia county (Dem.) by a largo majority. This was the only state office voted for and a light vote was lJtjlled In nearly every county. For the first time since 1904 there wns no (uslon aguinst the Republican ticket. Commission Plan Defeated. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. (i. With a light vote and a contest that at times assumed the proportions of an Inter esting fight, the plan of municipal government by commission, otherwise culled the Galveston plan, was lefeat cd here by a majority of ill In a total vote of 1,100.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ELECT ED GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY.. CONTEST IN NEW JERSEY CLOSE Figures Favor Election of Democrat as Governor Massachusetts 100,000 for Republicans Tammany Wins In New York. New York, Nov. 0. Elections held throughout the country passed off comparatively quiet. The returns num vat ions sections show the fol lowing results: Massachusetts ro- elects the entire state ticket, beaded by Governor Curtis Guild, Jr. Henry M. Whitney, the Citizens-Democratic candidate for governor, polled a much heavier vote than Charles W. Bartlett, the anti-merger Democratic. Pennsylvania elects John O. Sheatz, Republican head of the ticket for state treasurer by a large majority. New York elects Edward T. Bart lett and Wlllard Bartlett. joint candi dates on the Democratic and Repub lican tickets for justice of the court of appeals, over the candidates of the independence League (Hearst). New York city elects the Tammany candi dates by cousideiable majorities over the Independence League fusion can didates. New Jersey is claimed by both sides. The early reports indicated a plurality lor Frank Katzenbncb, Jr., Democratic candidate for governor, but later returns show John Fiauklln Fort (Rep.) making large gains. The Democratic late committee claims Katzenbacb's election, but Judge Fort does not concede this, nnd says the Jesuit Is close. The Maryland contest for the gov ernoiship Js in doubt, owing to late ness or returns. Chairman Vandlvet ot the Democratic state committee claims the state by 12,000, and con servative estimates, based on meugei ictiirns, give Crpthers (Dem.), foi governor, a plurality of 0.000 to 8,000. The Rhode Island returns Indicate the ip-election of Governor James 11. Higgins (Dem.). over Frederick H. Jackson (Rep.) by a plurality esti mated at about 1,500, showing a Dem ocratic gain from the plurality of last year. The election of the Democratic ticket In Mississippi, headed by 15. F. Noel for governor, Is a foregone con clusion as there is no opposition ticket. In Nebraska. M. B. Reese. Republic an candidate for the supreme court, the most important state office voted en, is undoubtedly elected. in Kentucky the entire Republican state ticket was elected. The mayoralty contest in Cleveland resulted In the election or Tom L. Johnson, present mayor, over Con gressman Burton. The early reports showed Bui ton ahead, but later the Republican headquarters at Cleveland conceded Johnson's election. The American, or anti-Mormon, paity at Salt Lake Is estimated to have the largest pluralities ever given in that city. At Toledo. Mayor Whitlock and the entire Independent ticket Is elected. Cincinnati elects Colonel Leopold Markbeit. the Republican candidate for mayor. Meager returns Horn San Francisco show Tavlor, Democratic and good government candidate for mayor, lead ing, with the Union Labor candidate showing unexpected strength. FUSION DEFEATED IN NEW YORK Republican and Independence League Forces Routed by Tammany. . New York, Nov. . Sufficiently complete reiurns to make certain tho ulMnmtu results hovv that Republican and Independence League fusion In New Voik county was defeated by a sualght Democratic ticket; that the Independence League ticket for usbo ciute justices of the court of appeals was overwhelmingly beaten by the Identical tickets of the Republicans and Democrats and that there will bo a slight change in the make-up of tho stale assembly. lu New. York city the Independence II EH! HI: i I I l'agtio court of appeals ticket wat defeated 4 to 1, and the league vot up state iv ns light. In the city. Interest centered in tin county fight, In which the Republican and Independence League forces op posed the Tammuny ticket. James W. Gerni'd was elected to the supremo court by a wide margin over M. Lynn Bruce. Thomas F. Foley defeated for sheriff's office the fusion candidate, Maxlinillian F Ihmsen, who Is also piomincnt lu tho Independence League. Early returns gave Foley a big lead, but this later was scaled down until 700 of the 8H election dis tricts In the county showed a margin for the Dcmociallc candidate of 25, 100. Edward T. Bartlelt and William Bartlett, nominated by both Repub licans nnd Democrats, were elected to the court o appeals over Reuben R. Lyon of Bath, a former Bryan Demo Mat, and John T. MoDonough or Al bany, a former Republican, both ol whom were nominated by the Inde pendence League. The election was quiet and the vote light. There were quite a large num ber of arrests for Illegal voting. Her bert Parsons or the New York Repub lican county coiiimlttce, who brought about the fusion with the Independ ence League, said that he believed that several Republican assembly men had been chosen. Without fu sion the reiults would have been less favorable. Chairman Parsons said: "I believe that 1 wad fully justified iji fusing. The vote was probably affected by the financial situation. 1 nm surprised that Judge Whitman (fusion candidate for the court of general session) did not get moie votes in the Republican dlbtiicts. It will be necessary to look lor some other cause than fusion on which to place the responsibility. In bard times people vote against the party in power." For the first time In fourteen years the Republicans elected a mayor in Ut,ica, and for the first time in sev enteen years the Democrats carried Nowburg. The Republicans were vic torious in Ulster county and elected their candidate for mayor In Kingston. In Rochester, the Republicans elected a mayor, but the Democrats carried the common council. Despite the pro tests of the united clergy, the Demo crats of Auburn elected a brewer for mayor. In Troy, Ellas Hoffman was re-elected by the Republicans by a pliuality of 350. The Independence League vote up state was light. The leturns show the vote for the Bart letts in Greater New "York to be SO!), 925. against 111,103 Tor McDonougb and Lyon, the Independence League candidates lor the court of nppeals. LANDSLIDE JiTkENTUCKY Republican Ticket Sweeps Blue Grass State. Louisville, Nov. 0. Governor, Au gustus. E. Willson of lxjulsville; lieu tenant governor, William II.

Augustus Willson, Republican can didate for governor, and the entire Re publican state ticket have been elect ed by majorities ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 and the Republicans have carried the city of Louisville for both state and city tickets. James F. Grinsted (Rep.) is elected mayor of Louisville by 3.500. The next Ken tucky legislature will have a Demo cratic majority on joint ballot and presumably for Governor BecliTiam for United States senator, although al leady there Is some talk of a bolt of some of the Deniociats to defeat him. These aio the results of the warmest and what seems to have been one of the fairest elections held In Kentucky In many years. Complete returns rrom seventy three of the ill) Kentucky counties had been received and these gave a majority of 2f. for Willson, as against approximately 27.000 majority for Deckhum at the last slate election. In addition to the three counties mentioned, there are returns at band from the counties of Jefferson (Iy)uls ville), Kenton and Campbell, which indicate with certainty that the Re publican majorities in the three will total 9,500 ror the head of the Repub lican ticket. The counties yet to be heard from practically balance each other, and the election of tho Repub lican ticket is conceded by a majority of the Democratic leaders, the late re turns which poured in indicating a landslide that wiped out tho 27,000 majority polled by Governor Beckham in 1003.
