that may reach three-quarters of a
million in the State over Messrs. McDonough
and Lyon, the candidates of
the Independence League.

defeat with the rest of the Fusion i

Session Judgeship candidates. Mulqueen

mately 9000 votes, but at that he i
ran a good 16,000 behind Swann. <
Besides winning all the General J
Sessions Judgeships in the contest, '

Court Judgeships.

fore, *here was. however, a shift of ]
two districts. The Parsons-Hearst 1
forces carried the Tenth and Eleventh V
Districts, heretofore Democratic, but \

ninth. The latter was previously a j
very strong Republican district. ;

of one Republican Assemblyman, De <
Groot, and one Republican Alderman,/ ;
Carter. f ?
The New York Assembly will be t
heavily Republican, a3 usual, but the <
Democrats have a few gains. James
W. Wadsworth, Speaker of the As

Former Governor Franklin Murphy,
Republican State Chairman, issued
i statement with a table of figures,
showing the election of Fort by a
plurality of about S000.
The Democrats have lost control of
;he Assembly, which had been theirs
i year. In the last Legislature the
Republicans hid a majority in joint
session of seven. In the incoming
jne they will have twenty-seven. The
Senate will stand 14 Republicans and
f Democrats, and the House 40 Republicans
and 20 Democrats.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston.?Governor Curtis Guild, of
Boston, Republican, was re-elected
:or a third term by a plurality estimated
at a late hour at over 100,000,
:he largest given a Gubernatorial
candidate in Massachusetts since the
!ree-silver movement. The balance
)f the Republican State ticket was
ilso successful, and the party will
igain control both branches of th2
[legislature by a proportion of about
I to 1.
The total vote of Boston for Governor
was:
Bartlett, 3446; Guild, 33,442;
Flisgen, 18,993; Whitney, 25,511.
Guild's plurality, 7931.
There was a close fight between
;wo of the other six aspirants for
Governor?Henry M. Whitney, Demo:rat,
and Thomas L. Hisgen, I. L.?
jut late returns indicated that Whitley
led Hisgen by about 10,000
,rotes.
General Charles W. Bartlett, the
\nti-Merger candidate, polled about
1.3,000 votes, compared with about
53,000 for Whitney and 73,000 for
lldgcu.
Next to the State ticket interest in
;he election centred in the contests in
Suffolk County for District Attorney.
John B. Moran was re-elected for a
;econd term by a large majority, es;imated
at a late hour at about 20,300.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia.?The city and State
lave both gone Republican, the city
jy about 75,000 majority and the
State by 170,000. John O. Sheats,
Republican, was elected State Treasurer.
The only fight in Philadelphia
was over the $11,000,000 loan bill
lavored by the Republican organiza:ion.
It was passed by 50,000.
Harrisburg, Pa. ? The interior
jounties show unbroken Republican
;ains as compared with last election,
[n some instances the gain is 100 per
:ent. Allegheny County will give
Sheats 25,000 plurality.
Pittsburg, Pa.?Allegheny County,
;he Republican stronghold, where a
majority of 40,000 votes could generally
be counted on, alarmed the leaders
by falling down to 15,000 majority
in the election of State Treasurer.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky.?Returns from 110 j
3ut of 119 counties indicate that the
majority of Augustus E. Willson,
Republican, for Governor, over S. W.
Hager, is 14,000. The Legislature is
jtill in doubt, but the Democrats will
probably have a small majority on
joint ballot.
James F. Grinstead was elected
Mayor of Louisville over Owen Tyler
by 4683.
Lexington, Ivy. ? Following an
Election Day riot, Clyde Campbell
was killed. Patrolman Michael
Murphy probably fatally wounded
and Patrolman Marion Smith and W.
R. Campbell, Clyde's father, severely
wounded. The elder Campbell, who
was a Republican candidate for Councilman,
was arrested after he had
protested against what he termed
election frauds. His son came to his
assistance and was shot by Murphy.
W. R. Campbell then shot Murphy,
who returned the fire, severely
wounding his man, although himself
probably fatally hurt. There is much
excitement.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, Miss.?The Democratic
State ticket, headed by E. F. Noel
for Governor, was elected. Only a
small vote was cast. The other officers
include Luther Manship, Lieu
tenant-Governor; m. j. smitn, auqitor;
G. R. Edwards, Treasurer; J. W.
Power, Secretary of State; T. M.
Henry, Insurance Commissioner;
V. Fletcher, Attorney-General, and H.
E. Blakesiess, Commissioner of Agriculture.
New York's Enormous Budget.
City and county budgets for 1908
adopted by the Board of Estimate of
New York City amounted to $143,572,260.17,
showing an increase of
$13,150,760.51.

DELAWARE.
Dover. Del.?The result of the prohibition
election in Kent Count}' v/as
beyond the expectations of the most,
sanguine dry advocate. Prohibition
carried the county by 1300 votes. The
negroes voted three to two for prohi- j
bition.
Sussex County apparently has gone
for prohibition, but by a much small- i
or mainritv than thfi temnerance lead- I
ers expected. The estimate of Rob-1
ert E. Houston, the dry leader, is less I
than 1000 for prohibition. Dover I
Court House district was the first !
precinct in Kent County counted out. j
The official returns there were: License,
96; against, 207. !
Wilmington, Del.?At the election j
on the question of license or no license
the majority in Wilmington in I
favor of license was about 4100 out I
of a total vote of 18,000. Rural New
Castle County is close.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Md.?The Democrats,
according to the latest returns, have
elected Judge Austin L. Crothers Governor
and the entire State ticket by
an estimated plurality of about 7000. j
The Legislature appears to be safely
Democratic.
Ex-Governor John Walter Smith
defeated Governor Warfield and Congressman
Talbot in the primaries for
the long term United States Senatorship,
beginning in 1909. Senator
William Pinkney Whyte was unop
posed, and will succeed nimseii. iur
the short term. Senator Whyte was
appointed at the death of the late
Senator Gorman to serve until the
Legislature elected a successor.
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, R. I. ? Complete returns
show that Governor James H.
Higgins, Democrat, was re-elected,
receiving a total vote of 33,325,
against 30,917 for Lieutenant-Governor
Frederick Jackson, Republican,
making Higgins' plurality 2408. Last
year he defeated George H. Utter,
Republican, by a plurality of 1318.
The General Assembly results
show substantial gains for the Democrats.
The next Legislature will have
2 6 Republicans, 10 Democrats and 2
independents in the Senate, and 42
Republicans and 28 Democrats in the
House. This will give the Republicans
sufficient votes to re-elect George
Peabody Wetmore, of Newport, to
the United States Senate.
MAYOR TOM L. JOHNSON WINS.
Cleveland, Ohio.?Mayor Tom L.
Johnson was re-elected for the fourth
time Mayor of Cleveland, in a hard
fought battle, in which the Republican
ticket was headed by Representative
Theodore E. Burton, chairman
of the House Committee on Rivers
and Harbors.
Chairman Baker, of the Republican
committee, conceded the election
of Johnson by 5000 plurality. At the
Johnson headquarters his majority is
placed at a higher figure, and the
-1?~c nifv nomAfrati/*
CltJUHUU U L LUC CUtllC V/1VJ V^iuvv. ?.v.v
ticket is indicated by 5000 or more.
The Democrats elected a majority of
the Councilmen.
Mr. Burton made large gains over
the vote of two years ago, when William
H. Boyd was the Republican candidate,
but the gain was not sufficient
to overcome the strong Johnson lead.
MORMONS LOSE IN SALT LAKE.
Salt Lake, Utah.?Bransford, Gentile,
for Mayor and the entire American
ticket was elected by a plurality
approximately of 4000.
Morris, Democrat, and Plummer,
Republican, ran close together. Each
received about 5000 votes to 9000
for Bransford.
An effort was made by Mormon
Republican leaders to switch Democratic
Mormons to the Republican
ticket, which resulted in the confusion
of the Mormon voters and had
*1%^ 7v?ol-intr "OrancfnrH'.q nlii
IUC CilCUU V/l juaoaiUQ -1-r* >- ~ x
rality larger than it would otherwise
have been.
Probably the most interesting feature
of the election was the fact
that the American party carried the
twenty-fifth voting district, in which
President Joseph Smith, Apostle John
Henry Smith and other churc.- dignitaries
live.
AGAINST SAN FRANCISCO VICE.
San Francisco, Cal. ? Returns of
the municipal election all show a
great landslide for Mayor Taylor on
the Good Government ticket. Taylor
got more votes than his two opponents
combined, and as the first partial
returns were from all parts of the
city the drift was shown very clearly.
Even stronger than Taylor is District
Attorney Langdon, who leads the
the head of the ticket.
There was a far heavier vote for
the conservative, law abiding candidate
than ever the supporters of the
Good Government ticket dreamed of.
If this percentage is maintained
throughout the city Taylor will poll a
vote in excess of 35,000.
DEFEAT FOR "STOKER MAYOR."
Bridgeport, Conn.?Henry Lee, Republican,
was elected Mayor in the
city election here, defeating former
Mayor Denis Mulvinm, uemocrai,
known as the "Stoker Mayor," by a
majority of about 400. All the other
candidates on the Democratic ticket
were elected. The city also went license.
BRAND WHITLOCK RE-ELECTED.
Toledo, Ohio.?Twenty-two precincts
out of 168 give Brand Whitlock,
Independent, for Mayor, 1037,
and Bartley, Republican, 812. This
indicates a plurality of 7800 for
Whitlock.
CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, Ohio.?The election of
Colonel Leopold Markbreit, Republican,
for Mayor, is conceded by the opposition
parties.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Neb.?Returns are coming
in very slowly from the country
precincts. About one-tenth of the
State has been heard from. This
gives a slight Republican gain over
*tifn voapu ncrn whpn thp maioritv
wa3 over 23,000. This indicates the
election of Reese, Republican, for
Supreme Judge, by 25,000. The remainder
of the ticket will run
higher.
The Republicans carried Bryan's
home precinct by 13 majority.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Va.?The election in
Virginia was only for candidates to
both branches o? the Legislature.
The Democrats will control both
houses by the usual majorities.
Farmers Control Products.
Four hundred farmers of Worcester
County, Mass., took steps to form
the Farmers' Co-operative Association,
which will control the output
and prices of all farm products of the
county.

NO EXTRA CONGflESSSESSION
Decision Reached at the Last
Cabinet Meeting.
President and Cortelyou Have No
Definite Recommendations For Currency
Legislation Ready.
Washington, D. C.?The deep concern
which members of the Administration,
including the President himself,
experienced during the recent
financial disturbance was made manaka
trrorn lao rnflH
yyucu uiuiu u^iano n\,?v
in regard to the possibility of calling
an extra session of Congress. The
extra session will not be called, but
the President seriously considered
the advisability of calling Congress
together before the regular time of
meeting and the decision not to do so
was reached only after an earnest
discussion of the matter in the last
meeting of the Cabinet.
The developments of the last three
or four days have inspired a feeling
of greater confidence on the part of
the Administration, and the impression
is that the panicky condition of
week before last has gone, not to return
in the near future. Among the
conditions which have combined to
produce this feeling of reassurance is
the fact that hundreds of national
banks all over the United States have
indicated their eagerness to co-operate
in the plan of the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Comptroller of
the Currency for producing an expansion
of national bank circulation.
All sorts of rumors were heard in
Washington in regard to t&e Fresident's
plan affecting the financial situation.
It itf entirely true that the
President has been asked to convene
Congress in extraordinary session and
that he has been requested as an alJ
ternative to issue a reassuring statement
to the country. Neither of
these things will be done unless the
President changes his mind and unless
he disregards the counsel of certain
of his advisers who seldom
change theirs and who have told him
that the best way to handle the present
situation is to let it alone.
The object of calling Congress together
before the regular time of
meeting would be, of course, to enact
legislation providing for a more elastic
currency.
A reason for deciding against the
extra session plan at this time is that
In the opinion of the President and
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
the necessity does not exist. They
believe that the conditions will improve
rather than grow worse in the
near future.
FIGHT WITH INDIANS.
Soldiers Kill Renegade Navajoes Who
Were Threatening Trouble.
Washington, D. C.?The Indian
Office received a telegram from the
superintendent of the Navajo Indian
Reservation saying that troops from
Fort Wingate, N. M., had arrested
Chief Bayalilia and nine other renegade
Indians for threatening the lives
and property of the Government and
the white settlers. A sharp skirmish
occurred between the Indians and
the troops, in which three Indians
were killed and one wounded. No
casualties occurred among the troops.
For some time a number of Indians
under the leadership of Bayalilia
have been creating disturbances because
of their disinclination to observe
the regulations of the Indian
Office and their efforts to prevent
other Indian tribes from doing so.
Their actions became so menacing
that Superintendent Shelton, of the
San Juan Agency, made a request for
soldiers. Accordingly TroopB I and
K of the Fifth Cavalry, under the
command of Captain H. O. Willard,
were dispatched from Fort Wingate,
N. M., on the 22d inst. Mr. Shelton
was of the opinion that the mere
sight of the soldiers would have a
quieting effect.
Superintendent Shelton wired
along with the information of the
fight that the Indians are quiet and
ithe authorities do not anticipate
further trouble.
TO COIN $55,000,000 IN GOLD.
Mints in San Francisco and Denver
Get Rash Orders.
San Franci-co.?Pursuant to directions
from Washington, the coinage
of $15,000,000 of gold bullion
will be undertaken immediately at
the mint in this city. No gold has
been coined here since August, the
active force being engaged in coining
the Philippine pesos. The mint force
was enlarged at the time the coinage
of Philippine silver was undertaken,
anc* it is thought this force will be
adequate to handle the rush order
for gold twenties.
Denver, Col.?A large force at the
mint is engaged in coining the $40,000,000
gold bars stored there and
more bullion is pouring in daily from
Colorado and Western mines. The
total output of t?e mint for October
will exceed $8,000,000, mainly in
twenty-dollar gold pieces. The gold
will be shipped to the money centres
as rapidly as it is coined.

The Wings of the Tourist.
Jim Hance, who is one of the good
things that go with the Grand Canon
of Arizona, likes to fill the wondering
tourists with tales of the enormous
dangers of that great fissure.
He was talking to some people ,?

"You must understand," said Jim,
"that when you get down to the bottom
of the canon and reach the shore
of the Colorado River, it Is very

it Is. Why, I'll give you my word,
I have been down there when it was <

stand it?"

Clyde Fitch's Advice. y
At a dinner given in his honor in f
New York not long ago, Clyde Fitch
told of the advice hp ice gave an
aspiring young novelist who worried
him with his books. It appears that
the embryo Fielding was better qualified
to sell shoes than write novels.
One day he came to Mr. Fitch in a
great state of mind. He declared:
"No one will read my manuscripts.
There is a conspiracy '. silence
against me."

HER "BEST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.
We usually consider our best
friends those who treat us best.
Some persons* think coffee a real *
friend, but watch it carefully awhile
and observe that it is one of the
meanest of all enemies, for it stabs
one while professing friendship.
Coffee contains a poisonous drug?
caffeine?which injures the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
up disease in one or more organs of
the body if its use is persisted in.
"I had he<art palpitation and nervousness
for four years, and the doctor
told me the trouble was caused by
coffee. He advised me to leave it off,
but I thought I could not," writes a
Wis. lady.
"On the advice of a friend I tried
Postum Food Coffee, and it so satisi
fled me I did not care for cofTee after
! a few days' trial of Postum.
j "As weeks went by and I continued
to use Postum my weight increased
from 93 to 118 pounds, and the heart
trouble left me. I have used it a year
now and am stronger than I ever was.
I can hustle up stairs without any
heart palpitation, and am cured of
nervousness.
"My children are very fond of Posj
turn, and it agrees with them. My
j sister liked it when she drank it at
my house, but not when she made it
i at her own home. Now she has
learned to make it right, boil it according
to directions, and has become
very fond of It. You may use my ?
name if you wish, as I am not I
ashamed of praising my best friend?
