THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM Entered at Richmond Postofflce as Second Class Matter WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1906

THE REPUBLICAN EAGLE STILL SCREi.

CongrcssEiriEtn. Watson. Is Re-electecL At the hour that the Palladium went to press this morning, it was regarded as absolutely certain that Congressman Watson had been reelected, though with a decidedly reduced plurality. The fight made against Congressman Watson in Richmond was a fierce one, and the Palladium believes that it was not justified by the record of Congressman Watson during" his term In the House of Representatives. However the victory has been won and though Wayne county contributed but little toward it, there" Is reason for rejoicing, especially among the faithful who remained steadfast. The returns are so incomplete as to not permit of a close analysis, but this the Palladium will do later.

Hughes Retired at Eleven Well Satisfied New York Timothy L. Woodruff, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, left Republican headquarters at ten o'clock for his home. Before going he said, Mr. Hughes has bren elected by a plurality of very nearly 40,000. The state was never, in doubt and the people of New York have effectively rebuked Hearstism. I have no doubt but that the entire Republican state ticket has been elected bu I am too tired to give figures at this moment. Charles E. Hughes the successful candidate retired about 11 o'clock after expressing himself as well satisfied with the result.

Taggart's Fling at Hearst Indianapolis National Democratic Chairman Thomas Taggart said at 10 o'clock, "I never thought Hearst would be elected. The public knows what I think of him. However, I hope the rest of the New York Democratic vote has pulled through. As to the country at large, my returns show excellent gains for my party. With the Hearst menace out of the way the future looks bright for Democracy. Indiana, of course, has gone Republican, but probably not by more than 20,000.

WHAT NEW YORK PAPERS SAID AT 10 P. M.

New York, Nov. 6. In the ten o'clock edition the predictions of the New York afternoon papers are as follows: Evening Journal (Hearst) 15,000 for Hearst , World (Hughes) 30,000 for Hughes. Post (Hughes) 40,000 for Hughes. The Brooklyn Eagle says: "Hughes is a victor by 25,000 plurality."

SEN, HI'S t 2:43 o'clock this morning with tine precinct yet to hear from, Watson's majority in Wayne county was BS5. Klrkman's majority over Wooley was 99. The exact result of the vote cast in Abington township was not known, but a telephone message from that precinct just before going to press, stated that Kuhn received a majority and Wooley a majority of 33 over Kirkman. It was also reported Just before going to press that Union county with, four precincts yet to hear from, gave Kirkman a majority over Wooley of 1S8. Sir. Klrkman's majority will probably be slightly in excess of 300. . THE EAGLE IN OHIO, TOO PLURALITY ABOUT 30,000 Both Parties Were Making Claims at Late Hour But Indications Were That Democrats Secured but One Congressman. Publishers' Press! Cleveland, O. Although statements issued by Republicans and Democratic leaders at late hour were conflicting each claiming victory, indications are that Republicans State ticket been elected by plurality o? at least 30,000. In congressional fight although returns are meager it is estimated that twenty Republicans have been elected and one Democrat. Wadsworth Defeated. Rochester, X. Y., Nov. 6. Con gressman James Wadsworth of Geneseo, is defeated by Porter, democrat, by 2,500. WERE MANY SPLIT TICKETS Very Hard to Make the Count in Iowa and Result Will Not Be Known Until Today. Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 6. The re moval of the circle from the top of ; the ballot and the enormous number of split tickets makes the work of j counting the ballots accordingly ar- I dous task and it is unlikely that the ! result in Iowa will be known before : Wednesday. Both candidates are very confident and are claiming election, but conservatives admit the result is in doubt.

MAJORITY

4 111

IS RE-ELECTED BY HIS USUAL MAJORITY Returns from over Illinois are Meager Due to Fact that Count Was Hard on Account of Many Scratched Tickets. Chicago, Nov. 6. Both Republicans and Democrats are claiming victory in the city and county election. Though both tickets will probably be split, the Democrats seem likely to have a majority of the city judges and the Republicans of the county offices. The blanket ballots have been so scratched that it will be many hours before the county is completed. Results from the state are meager as yet. Speaker Cannon is reported re-elected to congress by his usual majority. MICHIGAN IS REPUBLICAN IT WAS A CLEAN SWEEP Warner Named for Governor by Over 100,000 and Every Republican Congressman Will Be Elected Legislature is Solid. Detroit 113,064 returns received this hour from all portions state the election of Warner, republican for Governor by over 100,000. This is 7,000 over vote of two years ago. Every Republican congressman is elect ed. The legislature will be solid republican and will elect a Republican United States Senator. Dalzell Retrned. Pittsburg, Nov. 6. Congressman Dalzell, against whom a hot fight was made, has been returned to congress by a good plurality. The Republican city ticket and the Allegheny county Republican ticket have also been elected. CHARLES M. FLOYD WON IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Concord, N. H., Nov. 6. Charles M. Floyd, Republican, has been elected governor - of New Hampshire, by 5,600 plurality. The fight made was a strenuous one, it having been alleged by the Democrats that Floyd was a candidate of the Boston and Maine railroad company-'

CANNON

INDIANA IN THE -.i:--REPUCLICAN RANKS - BY A LARGE VOTE (Continued from Page One.)

and the indications are that he has led the state ticket. Republican state headquarters was a busy place during the night. State Chairman Goodrich after voting at Winchester came over to Indianapolis at 3 o'clock and at once got in communication by long distance telephone with his lieutenants in various sections of the state. Soon after six o'clock he called up Congressman Cromer "and Inquired about Delaware County. First returns from Indiana received at Republican State Headquarters were from Cromer. He said that two precincts in Delaware county had given him a plurality of 180 votes and on this basis he figured he would have a majority of 2,900 votes in his home. ,r County Auditor of State Warren Bigler who had dropped in set his mental calculator at work and figured that on this basis Indiana had gone republican by 65,000. Returns from 2S0 voting precincts in Indiana give Cox for Secretary of State, Democrat 19,663, Sims, Republican 24,679. Same precincts in 1902 gave Schoon over, Democrat 20,111, Sterms Repub lican, 24,929. Republican gain of 29S. So far as congressional outlook is concerned indications are that Foster is re-elected in first district, Cox, Democrat succeeds in third and Dix on, Democrat In fourth, with the fifth district in doubt. Watson is reelect ed in the sixth and Overstreet in the seventh. Chairman Goodrich of Republican State Committee says .that Cromer's plurality in the eighth will be greatly reduced if he Is not defeated while the democrats are claiming re-election" of Adair. Charles B. Landis is re-elected in ninth, Crumpacker in tenth, while Fred Landis is probably re-elected In eleventh by a greatly reduced plural ity. Both sides claim the twelfth dis trict. Brick republican, is re elected in thirteenth. Nothing has been heard from the second that would in dicate the result but both sides are claiming it on state ticket, everything indicates a falling off of the Republican vote, from that cast in 1902. Owing to the great amount of scratching the returns in many counties will not be counted till a late hour. The chairman of the Montgomery Democratic committee, notified State Committee at 9 o'clock that the entire county had gone Democratic with majorities ranging from 50 to 500. Charles B. Landis, Republican candi date for congress In the ninth district was defeated In that county by 2S0. Montgomery county normally is republican by 150. This is one of the six counties in Indiana in which vot ing machines were used today, twenty two machines being used in that county. The republicans carried Montgomery county two years ago" by 573. OVER INDIANA. EARLY INDIANA REPORT. - Indianapolis Many counties throughout the state report a very heavy vote for off-year. The amount of scratching seems have been greatest in Eleventh district where there was much dissatisfaction with Landis, republican nominee. Even in Hancock county noted for stalwart democracy there was much scratching on county ticket. Republicans cast light vote in Monroe. It is reported that in the first district Foster, republican is elected by a thousand and this is conceded by democrats. Probably no election ever held in Indiana witnessed so, much scratching. Everywhere democrats made big gains on local tickets ! but republicans seemed to have vot- ! ed it straight on state ticket. Chair man uooancn or uepuuncans claim ! election of Congressman but admits the twelfth district is close. Some surprises were shown in the second district. Congressional returns from over the state seemed to have been lighter than for several years. No definite returns have been - received. National Democratic Chairman Taggart spent the earlier part of the evening about the Democratic State Committee headquarters. Later when he saw part of Marion county ticket winning he couldn't control himself and went to county headquarters. At 10 o'clock it became known positively that Hooten for prosecutor won out by at least 15.000 and Sahm, for auditor who was Taggart's own and greatest preference won out by smaller plurality. One hundred precincts showed head of state ticket republican had pluralitty of 4.6S4 and Overstreet for congress 4,361." ' Benedict has run about six thousand behind the ticket and Bryson only slightly better. Bryson is running against Sahm. The News at 11 o'clock predicted the defeat of Congressman Cromer in the eighth district. He lost heavily in his own county of Delaware, and there was great scratching in ; Randolph and Jay counties. It may j be possible that he will pull through j but if he does it will by by small i ppurality. Republican managers practically concede his defeat and democrats claim election of Adair. Democratic headquarters had encouraging news from the second district, where C. Davis is runnir against Chancey. It now looks as if Davis will be elected. If Davis pulls through and other democratic candidates do as well in gaining, a Democrat will also be elected in the 12th. Democratic State he?dquarters began to sit up and take notice about 11 o'clock and State Chairman O'Brien began claiming things. Indianapolis ISO voting precincts in Indiana give Cox. democrat, 12,578; Sims, republican, 16,029. 160 pre-

cincts in Indiana give Cox 10.9S7; Sims, 19,168. Same precincts in Indiana gave 1902, Schoonover, dem., 11,316; Storms, rep., 14,010; republican gain of 557. Indianapolis 10 voting precincts in Indiana give Cox, Democrat 1,229, Simms, Republican 1,414. Same precincts in 1902 gave Schoonover, Democrat 804, Storms, Republican 936, Democratic gain 53. AT INDIANAPOLIS. Indianapolis Warren township shows Democratic gain of 76, Republican loss, of 89: If the other townships show same race Marion County outside of Indianapolis goes strongly

Democratic and with scratching in city many of Democrats tickes be el ected. Hoolen without doubt elected. With seventy four precincts in his plurality of 402 total number precincts 138 Mayor Bookwalter said at 9 o'clock Marion county in doubt. Benedict Propector, Republican said looks as if Democrats carried county. TRY TO INJURE LANDIS. Peru Peru was flooded last night with circulars reading "Don't vote for Landis if you are a laboring man. Look at his record. He has voted against you and your interests." This was signed "Central Trades Council, Marion, Ind." The Republicans say these were circulated by Democrats, and that the circular made votes for Landis. ACCUSED OF BUYING VOTE. Madison, The election proceeded quietly today. There were a few challenges, and Ed S. Coyle was charged with attempting to buy Rob ert G. Penn's vote for $2. Coyle gave bond. The weather is warm. QUIET IN UNION COUNTY. Brownsville Election in Union county is passing off quietly, the usual vote being polled. The only fight is for county officers. Noblesville, Ind. Election day weather in this county was ideal. A very light vote was polled ear'y in the day. In some of the precincts in this city less than one-fourth of the vote was in at noon. Reports from over the county indicate that few farmers voted in the morning. They seemed to prefer to take advantage of the nice weather and gather their corn, rather than lose the time it takes to go to the polls. II PENNSYLVANIA PITTSBURG REPUBLICAN. Pittsburg Early returns in Pitts burg and Allegheny show that Stuart is leading Emery 3 to 1, the first eleven districts reported from Allegheny City shows a Republ'can majority of 11,083. Mayor Kirschner claims that the republicans will carry the city by more than 6,000. Philadelphia 9:30 P. M. Stuart Is likely to carry Dauphin county by 2,000. Philadelphia Scattering returns city and indicate late Republican gains over last year when Berry, fusion for State Treasurer had 35,167 plurality in Philadelphia and 86,094 in the State. OLMSTED FOR CONGRESS. llarrisburg Indications are that Stuart will carry Harrlsburg by one thousand, reversing Berrys majority last year, the republican county will probably be elected. Olmsted will have a big majority congress. STUART BY 60,000. Philadelphia Berks county gave 6,000 majority for Emeric. On an estimate of returns from 500 out of 1,156 divisions the Philadelphia Enquirer at ten o'clock claim the election of Stuart by 60,000. STUART IN PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, Nov. 6. At 10 P. M. indications are that Philadelphia will give Stuart a majority of at least 50,000. Immense Republican gains in every Lincoln party stronghold. The surrounding counties will all go Republican. Philadelphia Edwin S. Stuart, Republican has polled a phenomenily large vote in state, it is doubtfull if Emery will bring any majority to Cities. SOLID DEMOCRATIC. Jackson, Miss. This being an off year in. Mississippi the total vote will hardly reach 80,000. The solid Democratic delegation is returned to congress. HITCHCOCK ELECTED Omaha, Neb. Returns from congressional district comprising Douglas, Sarpy and Washington counties, indicate election of Hitchcock for congress. Ill FRANKLIN COUNTY OHIO. Columbus, O. 206 precincts Franklin county, Ohio give Republican for Secretary of State 1,474, Democrat 1,113, Democrat gain 191. A REPUBLICAN GAIN. Columbus Seven towns, Ashtabula county show a net republican gain of 43 to precinct. Thirty eight precincts in Columbus show a net democratic gain of 20 to precinct, on the

head of the ticket. Forty six precincts in Columbus gives 360 democrats gain on ticket and a gain for E. L. Taylor, republican for congress of 2S9 over Herrick vote last year. CLEVELAND DEMOCRATS. Cleveland It is probable that Cuyahoga county, home of Congressman

' Burton, republican has gone demoj cratic. Mayor Thomas L. Johnson, democrat, claims election or. enure Democratic county ticket. FULL VOTE AT CINCINNATI Cincinnati The indications were that the full registered vote would be cast today. The local interest was intense and an unusually large num ber of voters were out early. The weather was fair and cold. WEST VIRGINIA Wheeling Early returns from all sections of the state show that re publicans will elect five congressmen. This means that democrats will not get a member of congress. Legisla ture will be republican but by a re duced majority. WILL BE ELECTED Des Moines The vote Iowa for Governor is large. Cummings plur ality of 1903 will be much reduced but indications point to his election. COUNTRY GENERALLY BIG VOTE IN TERRITORIES. Oklahoma City, Okla. The weather in Oklahoma and Indian Territories was fair and warm and everything favored a large vote. A heavy early vote was polled. LIGHT VOTE IN TENNESSEE. Nashville, Tenn. The weather here was fair, but interest in the election was slight. Reports from the State indicated a small vote. GOOD VOTE AT DETROIT. Detroit. Election day in Detroit was mild and foggy. Much interest was shown in the election and a good early vote was cast. CONNETICUT RESULT. New Haven Twenty towns elect 18 Republicans and 8 Democratic Representatives to State legislature. Twenty towns show a gain for Thayer, Democrat for Governor, over 1903 of 269. GUILD ELECTED IN MASSACHUSETTS Boston Guild been elected Governor of Massachussetts by 30,000. Boston Fifty cities and towns in Massachusetts, give Guild, republican, 13,507; Moran, democrat, 7,783. Sixty cities and towns in Massachusetts give Guild, republican, 16,866; Moran, democrat, 10,151. Boston Returns coming in from the mill towns show pronounced gains for Moran, the democratic candidate, but not sufficient to change the result. MASSACHUSETTS Boston, Nov. 6. With the Second congressional district, the Third and Eleventh still in doubt, the following congressmen have been elected ' in; Massachussetts: First George P. Lawrence, R. Second Frederick H. GHlett, R. Fourth Charles O. Quell, R. Fifth Butler Ames, R. Sixth Augustus P. Gardner, R. Seventh Ernest W. Roberts, R. Eighth Samuel W. McCall, R. Ninth John : A." KeHeher, D. Tenth Joseph F. O'Connell, D. Twelfth John W. Weeks, R. Thirteenth W. S. Greene, R. Fourteenth William C. Lovering, RIn the tenth it seemed as though Andrew J. Peters, Democrat, has a chance to beat Daniel W. Line, who was nominated in place of Congressman Sullivan. CLARK IN MISSOURf. St. Louis rPartial returns from 9th congressional district Indicate election of Congressman Clark. MISSOURI DEMOCRATIC. St. Louis Republicans claims state has gone Democratic by thirty thousand and election of 13 Democratic Congressmen out of 16. REPUBLICAN TICKET IN SOUTH DAKOTA Sioux Falls, S. D.. Nov. 6.
