REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ELECT
ED BY 9,000 ANYHOW.
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.

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

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

Pope. Pulaski, Scott, Wabash, Cal

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

Carthy, should approximate 3,000; Dis
trict Attorney Lungdon'ji plurality over
McOowan, the Union Labor nominee,

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.

Cincinnati, Nov. tl. By a decisive
pluralitj Colonel Leopold Markbett,

but the tact that Mayor Dempsey.

combination of Democrats and munic

who gave the Republicans additional
support in their claims that the
Dempsey administration had been a
failure.

lowing results: Massachusetts ro-

didates. New Jersey is claimed by both
sides. The early reports indicated a
plurality lor Frank Katzenbncb, Jr.,

Democratic late committee claims

ness or returns. Chairman Vandlvet

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

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!),

candidates lor the court of nppeals.

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.
