For governor: Ralston 133.903. Beveridge 84.673 and Durbin 66.948 Ip 1908 Taft's plurality was 10.000 and Marshall, democrat for governor was 14.000. The indications from the early returns were that the legislature in Indiana would be democratic by a larger majority than in 1911. New York. N.

Decatur, Indiana. Wednesday Evening, November 6, 1912,

carried, Washington. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kansas and lowa, with Wyoming and Illinois in doubt, and Idaho not reported. New York, N. Y„ Nov. 6—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The realization of just hpw great a victory they have won came to the democratic hosts of the country today. Last night they had sensed the victory and rejoiced, but today the full conception of what it was, dawned upon them and every chieftain was impressed with a duty and responsibility. Wilson and .Marshall in a walk: elected by an overwhelming popular vote, and at least a hundred votes to spare in the electoral college; Indiana democratic by something near 100.000; county tickets elected in nearly every county in the state, and legisl.iture democratic by a majority that is almost unwieldly; the democrats successful in New York and the entire east, excepting Vermont and perhaps Pennsylvania; Ohio, and almost everything between that state and the Pacific coast for the governors, with Taft given only Vermont and Utah and the Roosevelt backers fighting for the electoral votes in less than a half dozen states in the union. Is somewhere near the result of the election of Tuesday. It was not a landslide, but simply a case of the democrats voting for the principles for which they have lought so long, while the republicans were hopelessly and almost evenly divided. Had the g. o p. remained Intact it is likely that the battle would have been very close, but as It was. there could have been no possible result but the success of the democrats. The victory is the most complete ever known in the land, carrying with it absolute control in every part of the nation. With it will come the responsibility for the welfare of the people of this great confit ry The democrats feel able to do the job. The returns were very slow in coining in, and it was after midnight before the news came, assuring the complete. success of the democrats When it did. (be boys soon gathered In a band and for several hours marched to and fro, tip one street and down another, celebrating the victory. There were really not many surprises. The results had been predicted by the press of the country and excepting the changes in the figures, there seems to have been little left to do According to the latest news available, jbe democrats carried New Yolk, all the New England states except ermont; New Jersey by a large plurality, Delaware, West Virginia. Ohio by ISO.000. Indiana by 125,000, the solid south, Colorado, the Dakotas, and

I most of the western states, in fa-t about every thing on the map, and the rest is In doubt, Governor Marshall Issued the following statement at mign'ght: "The democratic victory of today will result in a restoration of representative J government in America if democratic, officials, both state and national, shall constantly remember that executive ‘ duty consists in the enforcement of the law and In the insistance upon legislative compliance withAlemocratie platform and principles: if legislative representatives will remember e that they are to represent the people and not any interest whatever and will be zealous to formulate into legislation i the principles either enunciated in democratic platforms or growing out of the basic principles of Jeffersonian democracy; and If judicial representatives will give us the yerfection of reason in the light of today and not In the light of two centuries ago and . shall be content to construe, and not to make, statutory law. "The principles of democracy, finding their expression in representative government, are now upon trial. This I is the last chance that will be given the officeholder to prove himself the servant, and not the master, of the people, unless be really serves. Fail’ ing to guarantee honest individual opportunity togevery man. unhindered and unhelped and will seek expression of democratic doctrine under some other system. The party appreciates i the gravity of the situation and the •sacred burden which it bears In enters not carelessly, but reverently upon the discharge of its duty. It has faith in the people, hope for the future and charity for the wrongs and errors of the past It enters <«mi; dently upon Its great mission with malice toward none and charity for all. It seeks peace, not war; but it knows that peace can only come by her hand maidens, justice and mercy.'' County Returns Came Last. , Notwithstanding the fact that every ' possible effort was made by the Daily Democrat to secure the returns front the county. It was past midnight be fore enough could be secured to estimate and It was noon today before the | c omplete vote was in and the tabti,aItions made. Adams county continues 1 to be the green spot of Indiana Prior I to the election, all k(nds of reports ; could be heard, but the count of the votes showed (hat the men who had been fighting for democracy for so many years did not depart at this I time when victory was possible in thia old stronghold they voted for the ticket and the pluralities will neatly all exceed the two thousand mark. . The table published in this issue gives ' all the details Adair Elected to Congress. Representative J, A. M. wiut ; again chosen for < engross, this being his fourth election, each higher than the previous It is believed that hi* plurality this year will Teach the

Washington, D. C, Nov. 6—(Spacial to Daily Democrat)—Reports from over the country indicate that there will be some changes in the house of representatives. Joseph Cannon of Illinois, who has held a place here for thirty-eight years, is reported defeated; Victor Berger, only socialist in congress, from Wisconsin, was defeated by a fusion of republicans and democrats; Champ Clark of Missouri was again elected and will preside over the house as speaker again; Oscar Underwood, democratic leader, and who is one of the able men of the house, was re-elected. The senate will be close, but probably demoi'ratic by a small majority. J. Frank Mann Wins Out. 1 Muncie, Ind., Nov. 6--(Special to Daily Democrat) —The entire demo cratic county ticket was elected here, ! including J. Frank Mann as prosecut- ! Ing attorney. The pluralities range i front Son to 1.000, John Adair leading , the bunch as usual. i Winchester, Ind .
