DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT.

I it not known whether his plea for a 1 general assembly to hold up his hands has been answered favorably by the people. It is certain, though, that a decided gain has been made in the Ohio delegation to the national con- ' gress. Governors Elected. New York John A. Dix, D. Ohio .Judson Harmon, D.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9 —(Special I to Daily Democrat) —At 9 o’clock this • morning, with Senator Beveridge and • State Chairman Dee noping against i hope that the returns from the rural , districts would put a different aspect ; on matters, official returns have been ; received that indicate to every one ■ that the next legislature will be demo- • cratic on joint ballot by about fifteen. At that time definite returns had been i received from only seventy-five districts. Os these forty-three are democratic representatives and eight democratic senators, while twenty-one i are republicans for the house republican senators. This gives the democrats, with their hold-overs, sixty-five and thirty-four to the republicans, . leaving fifty-one districts still to be heard from. If the democrats get an even break, the democrats will have a majority on joint ballot of fifteen. 1 The democrats swept Marion county I clean, the pluralities going as high I as 6,500 in the case of Von Hake for 1 treasurer over Sourbrier. The voters ’ of Marion county rendered a decisive verdicr, even taking from the opposition the republican judges, up for reelection. The smallest democratic 1 plurality, that of Rochford over Karb[er for judge of the superior court, number three, went over 2,000. (United Press service.) New York, N. Y., Nov. 9—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Returns received today only emphasized the completeness of the victory in New York state. For the first time since 194 the democrats will have control of all the state departments. They have reversed a democratic majority of sixty on joint ballot in the legislature to twenty-five democratic and made a ' clear gain of ten congressmen. A democratic senator will succeed Mr. Depew. Dix’s official plurality is 62,487. Stimson’s vote was approximately 100,000 under that cast for Hughes. (United Press Service.) Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9—(Special tq Daily Democrat)—Thomas Taggart, national committeeman, declared this morning that from private returns, he could unqualifiedly state that Indiana had gone democratic by 35,000 on the state ticket and that the next legislature will be democratic on joint ballot by from twelve to fourteen majority. It is believed that both houses will be slightly democratic. The state i chairman, Jackson, and other leaders , 1 claim the legislative vote on joint bal,l lot will be democratic by twenty. It is the general opinion that Mr. Ellingham’s majority will be about as stated by Taggart, though the republican committee has not yet conceded the •' fact. It is safe to say that Mr. Elling- ■ ham’s majority will not be less than 30,000. • • n

Decatur, Indiana, Wednesday Evening, November 9, 1910.

Chicago, 111., Nov. 9 —Democratic control of the next house of representatives became a certainty shortly after midnight. It was then known that the democrats had gained twenty-six seats In the house, including two previously secured In Maine. Republicans gained from the democrats two seats, making the democratic gain twentyfour, which is sufficient to give them control. That they will have a good working majority was indicated by the returns from several states, among them New Jersey. Returns there showed that there would probably be a gain of six democrats in the representation of that state. Other returns from New York and Pennsylvania indicated the success of several democrats in their contests for seats now held by republicans. The democrats also expected to increase their lead by returning several members from Illinois and also from Missouri. • v It was considered possible that they would be successful in several doubtful states. The definite democratic gains were: New York, 8; Pennsylvania. 3; North Carolina, 2; Ohio, 2; Massachusettts, 2; Maryland, 3; Connecticut, 1; Illinois, 1; lowa, 1; Kentucky, 1; Missouri, 1; West Virginia, 1. The republican gains were Massachusetts, 1; New York, 1; Pennsylvania, 1. Governor Marshall’s Statement. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9 —Governor Marshall this morning made the following statement: "If the returns prove to be as indicated in Indiana,” he said, "it marks in my judgment the decision of the people of Indiana that they do not care to let anybody take up their government and run away with it and leave them, instead of old-fashioned constitutional government, the whim and caprice of men, however brilliant they may he. “It indicates further that the people are tired of paying taxes and bearing expenses to enable protected manufacturers with their cheap surplus to invade foreign markets. It indicates further that when a party once confesses that its whole system of government has been wrong, the people prefer to trust a new party with the management of public affairs. It indicates further that people will have, if possible, an economical government. It. marks a return to conservative government, lower taxation, greater economy in official life and reduced expenses in living. It marks further the belief of the people that the democratic party has no intention of destroying great public enterprises, but does intend to punish the individuals who are exploiting them at the public expense.” Newark, N. J., Nov. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Woodrow Wilson democratic candidate for governor, was elected by about 15,000 plurality. Boston, Mass., Nov. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Eugene N. Foss, democratic candidate, wins by about 3,000 plurality. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, democratic candidate, is elected governor by about 4,000 plurality. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Evening Journal, republican, claims the election of all republcan congressmen, with the Fourth, Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh not. heard from. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Cincinnati Times-J>tar, republican, concedes the election of Governor Harmon by an increased plurality and that he carried Hamilton ccunty by 7,000 to 8.000. 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 tho returns were slow in coming in, but the good news therein was sufficient to repay those who waited for them. F. PORTER DEAD Well Known Auburn Young Man Loses in Battle For Earthly Life. HAD TYPHOID FEVER Had Relatives Here and Was Known to Many Decatur People. H. S. Porter received a message of the death of his cousin, Frank Porter, son of Lee Porter, of Auburn, who is quite well known here. The young man was sixteen or seventeen years of age, a great comfort and help to his parents, and was a most premising man. The funeral was held this afternoon. The Auburn Courier says: "Death was the victor in the battle waged by Frank Pcrter for the restoration of his health, the spirit taking its fight last evening at 5 o'clock after a siege of most excruciating , pain. The boy was the eldest son of Lee . Porter of this city, who for a week past has lain critically ill at Sacred Heart hospital. Garrett, suffering from typhoid fever. Four of the Porter children have been ill for some time, the condition of Frank and Miles becoming so serious that a week ago they were taken to the Garrett hospital for treatment. Miles is critically ill at this time and it is feared that he cannot live. The other children at home are getting along as well as can be expected.” o PASSED OFF PEACEFULLY. Marshal Peterson stated today that election day passed off remarkably peaceably and quietly —that it was a regular Sunday school day. The which has characterized all elections more or less since the beginning of time was remarkably limited Tuesday and everything passed off quietly and nicely.
