Returns of yesterday's general election
received by The Express up to 2 o'clock
this morning Indicate the casting of a
light vote, together with a result In the
usual Democratic majority. The Express
has accounted for 66,230 votes. Of these
0. B. Colquitt has received 53,223. It does
not yet appear that J. O. Terrell will run
as well as did John N. Simpson two
years ago.
If the vote counted and received up to
2 o'clock this morning be 30 per cent of
the total, approximately, the entire vote
of the election will fall behind that of
two years ago by nearly loo.oofl. Even on
a basis of 25 per cent of the total vote,
returns at hand indicate an election that
attracted less interest than tlie preceding.
Governor Campbell's vole two years ago
was 218,104. Mr. Simpson polled 73,566.
Thus far, out of nearly a thousand boxes
heard from, Mr. Terrell's vote Is less
than 10,000. Calculating the vote of the
election on the basis of one-third repre-
sented by the Teturns received, Mr. Ter-
lell will run 20,000 or 30,000 votes behind
Mr. Simpson. However, Increasing re-
turns may materially change the ratio be-
tween the two Republican candidates.
Sheb Williams, chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, In a
statement issued at Dallas last night, es-
timates that Mr. Colquitt will lead the
field by 125,000 votes. There does not ap-
pear to have been a falling off in Mr.
Colquitt's support not Inconsistent with
the reasonable difference between the
total vote o£ the primary election and
that of the general election.
The congressional race between Con-
gressman John N. Garner and Noah Al-
len, Republican candidate from the Fif-
teenth Congressional District, does not
appear tu have been at all close. When
tabulation of returns had ceased this
morning Mr. Garner was leading his op-
ponent by more than 4l»J0 votes. Mr.
Garnet's vote in nearly 100 boxes was
6366, whereas Mr. Allen's was but ^"92.
in the Senatorial race between Senator
Julius Real and Carlos Bee the result Is
not yet known.
Returns from approximately sixty box-
es In the district give Mr. Bee about 350
votes' lead with 3433 to Senator Real's
3084. Dispatches Indicate that Senator
Real's majority will reach 1000. If this
be not offset bv Mr Bee's majority In
Bexar County, when all boxes have been
counted, Mr. Bee's slight lead mav be
reduced. Final returns will be necessary
to determine the contest.
The following shows the senatorial race
by counties as the returns were received
up to 2 o'clock.

TAFT "OVERFLOWS" THE BOOTH
President Attempts to Conceal Himself
in Ballot-preparing Niche.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 8.—{'resident
Tatt arrived here at 10:30 o'clock lo cast
his vote in his old precinct In the
O'Brlenville district of Cincinnati
The President motored out to the'votina
place, an empty sture at 2034 Madison
Road, from his brother's residence Onlv
the usual loungers about the place'where
ballots were east were on hand, and
here was a faint ripple of applause as
lhe President s car came to a standstill
Accompanied by three Secret Service men
the President entered the More where
the voting booths had been placed The
Judges of election were Idle when Mr'
Tuft arrived. He was ballot No issrV
and was voted No. 322 In the precinct
The President then attempted to dlsan
pear in one of the rough board booths
over the front of which n short blue
clolh curtain dangled. The booth was nol
a large one, however, and even the cas
ual observer, dropping Into the place
would have been quickly aware of t|,p
lad thai thai particular voting stall was
fully occupied. Mr. Toft's silk hat low"
end above the lop of the partition';
Entering the booth at 11:33 o'clock the
President did not emerge until '11.97
o'clock. He then stepped to the ballot
box.
"Your name, please?" Inquired the pre-
siding judge.
"W'm. H. Taft," responded the Presl-
deni
Without further ceremony the ballots
were deposited.
There was some talk llist the President
may have split the ticket as to some of
»lie county officers, but this was due en-
tirely to the length of time he spent In
the voting booth and not to any declara-
tion of such Intent on his part
I
PLURALITY OF THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE IS BETWEEN
55.000 AND 65,000.
STATE IS UPSET
Dix, Who Is the First Successful
Democratic Nominee for Governor
of New York in Sixteen Years,
Buries Stimson Under
Avalanche of Ballots.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8 —John A. Dix, a
business man and the first Democratic
nominee elected In sixteen years, will be
the next Governor of New York. He was
chosen by the people today over Henry
Ij. Stimson, Republican, for whom Theo-
dore Roosevelt stumped the State, bv a
plurality based on nearly complete re-
turns of from 55,000 to 65,(¥10.
New York City gave him a plurality of
100,000, while Stimson came down to the
Bronx with about 40,000, leaving a sub-
stantial lead for the Democratic nominee.
Thomas F. Conway, the Democratic
nominee for Lieutenant Governor, ap-
pears to have swept tpto office only
slightly behind Dix. Returns were lack-
ing late tonight conclusively to show who
takes the lesser State offices, but indica-
tions pointed to the Democrats.
The normal Republican majority up-
State was greatly reduced. The Inclement
weather tended to cut down the rural
vote, and Htlinson's estimated plurality
to the borders of New York City, about
40,000, Is less by 20,000 than the up-State
vote polled by Hughes In 1908.
UPSETS ARE MANY.
Both the Assembly and Senate re! urns
are strongly Democratic, and there were
some notable upsets In even the Congres-
sional districts. Representative Herbert
Parsons, a lifelong friend and political
associate of Theodore Roosevelt and for-
merly chairman of the Republican County
Committee, was ousted by Jefferson M.
Levy.
Representative W. W. Cocks of Nassau
County, Theodore Roosevelt's home seat,
was tipped out by Martin W. Littleton.
William S. Bennett was defeated for Con-
gress by Henry George, a son of the
political economist.
Sereno E. Payne, father of tlm tariff
bill, was re-elected, but his home town,
Auburn, went for Dix, and Vice President
Sherman's candidate for Congress, was
defeated by a Democrat. Representative
Hamilton Fish, Republican, gave ground
to Richard E. Cunnell, a Democrat.
Not only did Colonel Roosevelt lose on
the Slate ticket and his candidate for
Congress in Nassau County, but his home
town went for Dix, and the Democrats
Jubilantly shouted that they had "beat
lilm to a frazzle."
SENATOR AGNEW IS DEFEATED.
In New York City the Democrats, with
one or two exceptions, held all their own
In Assembly and Senate districts and
then carried the war Into the enemy's
country. Senator George B. Agnew, joint
sponsor for the Hughes antiracing bills,
was defeated by John G. Saxe.
There were even indications that the
Democrats might have a working ma-
jority In the Legislature and dictate the
nomination of the next junior United
States Senator to succeed Senator Chaun-
cey M. D.pew, but more complete re-
turns will be necessary to settle tills
issue.
Albany County, of which the Republi-
can leader la William Barnes Jr., who
fought Colonel Roosevelt at Saratoga,
gave Dix a slight plurality. Other old
guard strongholds were for Stimson by
reduced pluralities.
FIGURES ARE IN DOUBT OWING
TO SWITCH IN THE VARI-
OUS DISTRICTS.

Voters of the Buckeye State, Especially
in the Rural Districts, Flock to the

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 8.-Judson
Harmon, Democrat, was re-elected Gov-
ernor of Ohio today by a largely In-
creased plurality, according to returns
from about 250 precincts of the 452(1 in
the Slate. Even the approximate figures
were still in doujjt owing to a consider-
able switch in various districts of 'he
State. Two years ago he was ele-ted by
19,372.
In fifteen precincts Harmon -how* a
gain of 14 votes lo a precinct, partlv
overbalancing the Republican gain of
32 a precinct in Cincinnati.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9,-Estlmates
from all but flyevof the sixty-seven coun-
ties Hi 'PcrinsyiV'antii, indicate that John
K. Teller, Republican, carried the State
by about 25 000 •nlv.rnlity over William H.
Berry, the Kfyslone party candidate.
Webster Grim, the regular Democratic
candidate, ran far behind.
Mr. Tener needed Philadelphia to win,
Ihe city giving him a plurality of 45.251.
Allegheny County, which Includes Pitts-
burg. gave Mr. Teller an estimated plu-
rality of 15,000.
The Democrats gained two Congress-
men with three close districts to hear
from.
The Democrats and Independents made
slight gains in the Legislature. One of
the notable victories of the Democrats
was the capturing of the Fifth Congres-
sional District In Philadelphia, which two
years ago gave W. W. Foulkrod a ma-
jority of 13,2<5S The Socialists elected
their first member of the Legislature.
By reason of a fight in the textile dis-
trict of Philadelphia In which Ihe con-
gressional ticket became involved, Con-
gressman William F, Foulkrod went
down to defeat. Michael Donohue, the
Democrat who defeated Foulkrod, had
2000 majority.
Normal Republican Majority of 110,000
Is Turned Into Democratic
Plurality.
DES MOINES, Iowa, :\o\\ fi.-Early In-
dications are, that Iowa cities containing
half the vote have Indulged In a Demo-
cratic landslide. Claude Porter, Demo-
crat, for Governor, claims the election by
10,000. but the Republicans declare the
result Is In doubt and that belated coun-
try districts will wipe out Porter's lend.
The normal Republican majority In the
State is ubout 60,000.
MACK VOTES WRONG TICKET

mittee Tells Joke on Himself.
BUFFALO, N. Y„ Nov 8. Norman E
Mack, chairman of the Democratic Na-

could not be rectified. Subsequently he
told of the Joke on himself.
"I wanted lo see how fast I could vote

he said.
"II was somewhat dark In the booth
and In niy haste I pulled the wrong lever

mediately announced to ihe election in-
spectors my error and asked permission
to correct the mistake, but, of course,

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov, 8 — Summed
up, the result of today's election appears
to bo B. W Hooper, Kepubllcan and
fuelonlst, Is chosen Governor by 15,(xw
to 18,nun majority; B. A. Enloe, Democrat
and fuslonlst, by a like majority, and a
possible small fusion majority in the Leg-
islature.
Both sides claim the Senate, but where
the tuslonlsts have loBt tn some districts
they have gained In others. The same
applies to the Democrats, so from pres-
ent Indications there Is little change in
the complexion of the Legislature.
Most of the middle and west Tennessee
Democratic counties, nearly nil of which
went for the Independent Judicial ticket
In August last, returned to the regular
column today, but by such small major-
ities that they were overwhelmed by the
heavy Republican vote In East Tennes-
see counties. Barring Knox, the countlea
in which are located the larger cities, all
went heavily Democratic.
In the Congressional race, R W. Aus-
tin, Republican, appears to have de-
feated N W. Hale, independent. Kepub-
llcan; Sells, Republican, defeated (' H
t.yle in the First; Z, D Massey, Repub-

pired term of W P. Brownlow. jh the
oiher eight district, the Democrats have
won, although T. W. Sims, in the Eighth,
had a hard fight with Murray, Republi-
can
The vote throughout the State was re-
markably heavy except in a few counties.

E. 0. P. GETS ONE DISTRICT
TRENTON, N. J.. Nov. 8,-Early re-
turns from the election In New Jersey
today were very slow In coming In to-
night, but the figures indicate the elec-
tion of Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, for
Governor, the only State office to be
filled, by between 10,000 and 20,000 plu-
rality over Vivian M. Lewis, his Repub-
lican opponent, Most of the early returns
were from Republican strongholds and
while they showed Lewis to bo In the
lead, a falling off In the normal Repub-
lican vote was Indicated on which the
Democrats' claims for Wilson's success
were based.
Returns would seem to indicate that,
the Democrats have certainly elected six
and possibly nine of Ihe ten members of
Congress.
New Jersey's representation In the pres-
ent Congress Is seven Republicans and
three Democrats.
The six districts the Democrais seem to
have carried are the third, Thomas J
Snelly; sixth, Wm. Hughes; seventh, Ed-
ward W. Townsend; eighth, Walter R.
McCoy; ninth, Eugene Klnkald, tenth,
James A Hamll
The Democrats are also believed to
have carried the Klrsl District, Joseph
E. Nowrey; fifth. Wm. Tuttle. The
Fourth District Is very close between Ira
W. Wood, Republican, and Wrn. I.lbbey,
Democrat
The Second District is the only district
the Republicans seem to have certainly
carried, electing John J. Gardner.

Convulsion Resembles the Famous Up-

Effect and More Far-

Elections held throughout the country
yesterday resulted In a political convulsion
of far-reaching ettent, similar at many
points to the famous tidal wave of 1882
nnd apparently more widespread In Its
effect.
The indications toward midnight wera
l hat the National House of Representa-
tives had been carried by the Democrats,
reversing Ihe present Republican majority
of forty-three
The United States Senate will probably
liave a reduced Republican majority as a
result of legislative elections held in many
States.
In New York State, John A. Dix, Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, Is elected
over Henry L. Stimson, Republican, by a
plurality of nhout 55,000, reversing the
Republican plurality of 70,000 In 1908 for
Governor Hughes.
In New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson, Demo,

ous Republican plurality of SOOO for Gov-
