NEW YORK. Not. 6. Official figures on
the vo'e for governor vary but little from
the unofficial reports. According to re
turns tnvde to the executive st Albany by
the severs! county clerks the plurality for
Odell Is M,s7. Only three counties above
the Bronx were carried by the democratic
nominee, the aggregate plurality for Coler
In three counties being 1,011. This and
the Oreater New Tork plurality of 122.0T4
given to Coler was met and overcome by
an up-state republican plurality of Hi. 952.
the difference being a net plurality of 12.887.
gainst 111.124 for Odell In 1900.
Returns of the vote for the other stste
officers are so meager that It Is Impossible
to aay If the democrats have been more suc
cessful as regards the minor offices than
In the case of the governor. In some quar
ters It. Is asserted that by reason of his
Indorsement by the prohibitionists Cunneen,
the democratic nominee for attorney gen
eral, has made such gains over the hesd of
the ticket that he has been elected.
There are also claims thst when the re
turns for Judge of the court of appeals are
II In It will be found that Judge Gray has
defeated bis republican opponent.
The state legislature is controlled by the
republicans by reduced majority, but one
so large as to admit of no doubt of the
return of Mr. Piatt to the Cmted Statea
senate. The New York delegation In the
I lower house of the Fifty-eighth congress
will number 37 instead of 14 as In the
present congress. It will contain 20 re
publicans and 17 democrats, whereaa the
present delegation stood 22 republicans and
12 democrats. All of the more noted mem-
1 tere of the delegation have been returned,
: Including Sereao E. Payne, chairman of the
.' ways and means committee.
A statement by Mr. Coler which Indicated
that be was not satisfied with the returns
so far received, was followed by a rather
sensational announcement from Secretary
Mason of the stale democratic committee.
About the time these statements appeared
a rumor waa circulated that Coler Intended
to make a contest In the courts and simul
taneously the Evening Journal. Issued an
Laughlln claimed CoIera election.
These, together with the statements made
- by Mr. Coler and Secretary Mason, csused
considerable excitement in the city.
Bird S. Colrra statement was made at
the democratic headquarters in Brooklyn
today. To a number of reporters Mr. Coler
aid:
I think personally it would be a good
thing to watch the official count up the
state closely. Why don't they distribute
Mct'ullagh men up there as well as here
In Greater New York? Suppose the demo
cratic ticket had received, say In the neigh
borhood of l.Vl.OM) majority in Greater New
York, there was nothing to have stopped
the republican from claiming the upper
section of the atate by at least y0.VK.
What the democratle party needs up the
state is tried and true material, who will
look carefully alter the party's Interests. I
don't mrsn by anything I have said last
right or this morning that I In any manner
corx-ede th? election ol my opponent. 1
want to wait for the official count, for my
latest advP'es are that the vote Is very
close. I am hopeful of receiving today
riewa that will put a new complexion on af
tatra In this stale.
John A. Mason, secretary of the demo
cratle state committee, speaking tor the
committee. Issued the following statement:
We concede nothing. Odell's election is
Imply a claim. We will not admit his
election until every defective ballot or
alleged defective ballot has been scruti
nised and every vote that of right belongs
to our party is counted.
The alleged defective ballots uncounted
for the democratle ticket by republican
Inspectors sre more than enough to elect
Coler. We have evidence of wholesale de
bauchery and corruption In Orange,
Oneida. Alhiny and Erie counties and in
the cities along the line of the New York
Central railroad.
The defective ballots snd the chlcanerv
practiced in the three judicial district
where the republican state machine- bent
every energy to elect Attorney General
Davlea Is alone sufficient to change the
result. We shall contest every foot of
ground.
David B. Hill and Frank Campbell will
be at the state headquarters this evening
and a meeting of the state committee will
be held either this evening or tomorrow
and a plan of action will be formulated.
. NEWBl'RGH, N. Y.. Nov. 5. Late last
night Governor Odell received the follow.
Ing telegram from President Roosevelt:
"from whst we hear now I think I can
safely congratulate you and the party,
which I do with all my heart."
ARIZONA.
PHOENIX. Aria.. Nov. 5 The election
of a delegate to congress from Arizona Is
atill in doubt. Whether republican or
democratic, the majority -will probably be
less than 200. Morrison (rep.) carried the
five northern counties by over 1 000 and
claims two others. The six remaining
counties have certainly gone for Wilson.
CALIFORNIA
BAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 8. Complete re
turns from San Francisco and partial re
turoa from all ever the atate indicate
that George C. Pardee, the republican nom
inee for governor, is elected by 2.000 or
1.000. The plurality of .000 given by San
Francisco to F. K. Lane, the democratic
nominee, haa been almost wiped out by
republican majorities in the Interior coun

throughout the province of 8ie Chuan.
A report that the female leader of the

leader is about 17 and the woman captured

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Nov. 5 The

Danish West Indies company expired to

cue-fifth waa subscribed.
The promoters, who are opposing ihe

weakness of the sentiment In favor of aid

however, to appeal to King George of
Greece. Queen Alexandra and the empress
of Russia to take shares. .
The banks will probably finance the com

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5. President
Roosevelt was the principal guest today at
sesqui-centennlal anniversary celebrs
ra by the Pennsvlvsnta Masonic grand
iodge of George Washington's Initiation.
The president waa also the orator of the
occasion.
He arrived shortly after 11 and waa met
by Grand Master E. A. Tennia, and the
reception committee of the grand lodge.
The celebration nas exclusive, being
limited to one representative from each
aubordlcate lodge in thi atate, together
with the members of the grand lodge and
Ita committees. Grand Master Tennia de
livered the address of welcome.
President Roosevelt was then introduced.
He spoke as follows:
toaatrr Meeds Masonry.
It seems to me what this country needs
more than everything else is the virtues
we try to realise through Masonrv. but
we must show the memory of the greatest
Mason that ever Itved-YVaehlngton-the
homage of deeds, not words.
One of the things that attracted me so
greatly to Masonry, that I hailed the
chance of becoming a Mason, was the fact
that it really did live up to what we, as a
government, are pledge to. treating exch
man on his merits and as a man. When
Hrotner George went Into a lodge of a
rraternlty he went Into the one place In
the I'nlted Statcp where he stood below or
above his fellows according to his official
position In the lodge. He went into the one
place in the Cnlted States where the idea
of our government is realized as far as It
is humanly posMlble for mankind to realize
a lofty Ideal. And I know you will not c.nlv
understand me. but sympathize with me
wnen I say that great though my pleasure
" 'n meeting you nere as vour guest, in
this beautiful temple and in meeting such
a body of men as this, that I am now ad
areasing, J think my pleasure would be
even greater In going into some little lodge
where I meet the plain, hard-working men.
and meet them on a footing of genuine
equality, not false equality, depending on
each man to be a decent man and a fair
dealing Mason.
Each one of us Is naturally especially In
terested in life as he see It from his own
standpoint. Each one of us that is worth
his salt Is trying to do his share In work
ing out the problems that are betore us,
and men In public life, whatever their po
sltion be, are no exceptions to the rule If
they are interested at heart they have the
ileelre to do some substantial service for
their country.
Masonry should make for the best tvpe
of American citizenship, because it teaches
each his obligations to his fellows In a
practical fashion, it Is a good thing to
read the Declaration of Independence every
1-ourth of July. It is a good thing to talk
of what Washington and his fellows did
for us. but what counts most is how ws
live up to the lesson that we read of or
we speak of the lesson of brotherhood.
Way ia Settle Strikes.
If we could get. wage workers and em
ployers In any given occupation or in any
given district In e lodge together 1 guar
antee the resjlt. I guarantee what will hap
pZ?1m " -ot ,hat true? Do you think so?
(Cries of "Yes." Exactly, and I will
guarantee it. If that thing sould happen
we would come always Ipto the lodge,,, esch
respecting- -and each "Wanting to' rto what
was good for his brother, escb recogniz
ing that In our government every man has
to be his brother's keeper. But Masonry
does not teach us to make believe that
there are not obstacles; it does not teach
us to believe that life .somehow can be
made easy and soft for evervone; It can
not be. For many of us life is nothing
but very hard, if a man does not meet
with difficulties, if he does not put himself
In a way where he has to overcome them,
he would not do anything that Is wrorthv
of being done.
Masons help one .mother In a way that
is free from self-condemnation. Help given
In a spirit of arrogance does not benefit
anyone; It must be given rationally with
a teeling of cordial good will.
Now. in our life of todav. our great com
plex Industrial centers what do we need
most? We need most each to understand
the other's viewpoint, to understand that
the other man Is at the bottom like our
selves. We should try to understand and
try to approach the subject at issue or
any problem that arises with a firm deter
mination not to be weak or toolleh.
Looks All Roaad Sabjevt.
Weakness snd folly and timidity are not
helpful to your neighbor. Timid endurance
of wrongdoing may often be one of the
greatest evila possible against one's fel
lows, but we will acknowledge that while
Insisting on thai, that there must be no
yielding to wrong, and yet It is ever neces
sary to remember that you cannot appre
ciate the rights of the case until vou sre
sble to see and understand how your
neighbor look at -It; how he Is affected
by It. You take any lodge, where, as is
the case In our own little lodges, you see
the capitalist and mage worker, men of
all classes, men of every kind of social
position and wealth, and see them meet
ing together as Masons with a feeling for
one another that goes with Masonry. When
one sees a lodge such as that, one sees how
s certain small fragment of our Indus
trial problem is- to be solved.
It is not possible to present the Idea
that 1 would like to bring out to have
all the best of all classes represented In
Masonry in every district but it is pos
sible for each to try to appiv In his deal
ings with his fellows the lessons of Ma-

deemed. In the First district Burkett, republican,
ia returned by a largely Increased ma
jority. In the Third district McCarthy, repub
lican, defeats Roblnsoa for re-election by
a safe majority. Two years ago Robin
son's plurality waa 175, and the counties
reported in full have made sufficient re
publican gains to wipe that margin out and
the others will add to It.
In the Fourth complete returns give
Hlnshaw, republican, a plurality, of 2,672
over Stark.
In the Firth Norris has' 150 plurality,
with only a few precinct missing, which
will neither add to nor take away from
these figures appreciably. .
In the Sixth, on the face of the returns
now In. Kinkald, republican, has a plu
rality of 1,190. These same counties two
years ago gave Neville 374 plurality, which
was greater than his plarallty ia the en

Additlonsl returns but serve to Increase
the estimate of Mr. Mickey's plurality for
governor. Forty-nine couutles complete,
including Douglas, give him a plurality of
2J74. These same ccuntlea two yeara ago
gave Dietrich a plurality of 8S. This year
Dietrich's plurality in Douglas Is converted
Into a plurality of 2.400 for Thompson.
From this it can be readily seen that the
up country is giving Mickey a plurality
largely In excess of that given Dietrich two
yeara ago, and the estimate of his plurality
made by the state committee, 6,000 te 7.000,
Is not excessive. .'.,...'
