DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT.

Decatur, Indiana. WEDNESDAY MORNING November 9, 1910.

R. Stimson by a majority estimated at 55,000, carrying with him the en-, . tire state ticket, and a legislature that will elect a democrat to the United J States senate to succeed Depew. As early as 8 o’clock every paper in this city conceded the election of the democratic ticket. An hour later Mr. Stimson sent the following message to Mr. Dix: "The present returns indicate your election. I congratulate you, and send my good wishes for the success of your administration.” Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 9. After hearing the defeat of the republican party in this state Colonel Roosevelt refused to see anybody and went to bed. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9. Caleb Powers, in the Eleventh district, is the only republican congressman elected in this state. Chicago, 111., Nov. 9. At 10 o’clock it looked as though the republicans had elected but six f congressmen out of twenty-five. Eleven are democratic sure and eight in doubt. i Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 9. Governor Harmon was re-elected by a majority about the same as that of two years ago. The legislature Is probably republican. 1 New York, Nov. 9. It is conceded at republican headquarters here that the democrats have elected governors in tbi^-state, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey. It is also conceded that the next congress will be democratic. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9. The democrats have re-elected all of their eleven congressmen and have a chance in the other two. The winners include all the old districts now held and the democrats have a chance to elect Peterson in the Tenth and Gray in the Sixth. Clinton and Montgomery counties, where there were stiff fights on the local option question gave good democratic majorities. St. Joseph went democratic and the democratic fever seems to have affected every district of the old Hoosier state. Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 9. Senator Steve Fleming was arrested yesterday afternoon charged with illegally voting foreigners. The arrest followed some hot the “hunky” district, where the roller mills are located. Gary,lnd., Nov. 9. ■ As a result of rioting an unofficial call was made to Governor Marshall for state troops. The request was refused. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 9. Colonel Roosevelt’s home election precinct was carried by Dix, democratic candidate for governor, by sixty.

Portland, Ind., Nov. 9—(Special to Daily Democrat) —At midnight the election of John A. M. Adair to congress for his third term was assured and by a majority that will almost if not fu'ly equal that of two years ago. From reports received here he will carry Wells county by 1,200, Madison by 2,000, Delaware by 100, Adams by 2,000, and this county by 1,000. Allowing 1,200 for Warner’s majority in Randolph county, leaves a majority of 5,000. While these figures are estimated on about half the precincts, they are reliable enough that no material change will be made. SAMUEL JOHNSON DEAD. Well Known Monroe Man Succumbs to Paralysis. Samuel Johnson, aged sixty-seven, one of the well known men of Monroe, died at his home there at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon from paralysis. About four years ago, Mr. Johnson suffered an attack that left him in a badly crippled condition. About a week or so ago he suffered another, and his condition has been very serious since then. Last, night he grew worse and it was reported that he was dying. He leaves a wife and three children — Mrs. Fred Watkins, John Johnson and Marion Johnson, all living in the vicinity of Monroe.

OLD GREEN SPOT Adams Rolls Up Her OldFashioned Majority For All the Candidates. ELLINGHAM’S VOTE Is a Source of Gratification —Congrssman Adair’s Victory. Adams county did herself proud at Tuesday's election. Lew Ellingham, editor of the democrat, and nominee for secretary of state, was given a splendid vote, running ahead of the vote of four years ago about two hundred in the city of Decatur. His vote all over the county was highly satisfactory to Mr. Ellingham and his friends, who appreciate the courtesy thus extended at home, in the highest degree. Besides this we gave our popular congressman a majority that will rub around the two thousand mark, and may eclipse the splendid victory of two years ago, when he had 2,100 majority. The entire county ticket was elected by usual majorities ranging from 800 to 1,500. While Mr. Butcher was cut in some localities he made a good showing generally, as did every man on the ticket. The returns were received at this office and at democratic headquarters. As usual in general elections the returns were slow in coming in, but the good news therein was sufficient to repay those who waited for them.
