Elections Occurring
States and Thre
New York City.?Charles Evans b
Hughes, Republican, was electcil Gov- J1
ernor of the State of New York by a j ^
plurality of 63,383 votes over Will- E
iam Randoipn Hearst, jL>emocra.uc tj
and Independence League candidate. g(
Mr. Hearst ran behind his ticket g
in New York, Kings, Erie and Dutchess
Counties and in scatteiing dis- e*
tricts throughout the State. In Kings gi
Chanler ran 20,000 ahead of Hearst, j,
In New York County it was estimated _
that Hearst was from 10,000 to 12,- ^
000 votes behind the rest of the tl
ticket. *
When notified of his success Mr. n
Hughes said: "My feelings are not p
those of elation, but those of respon- q
sibility." ' j
W? R. Hearst gave this statement p
regarding the election: * w
'In view of the result I have only j,
to repeat what I have said in my jj
speeches. I am enliscted in this fight (
against government by trusts and e(
corrupt corporations and will fight it c,
to the end. , H

the ranks, just exactly as the people ?>
desire, and as earnestly and loyally n
in one place as in the other. H
"The people have decided to retain t
the Republican party in power. I d
will make the fight in the ranks, g
therefore, and as a private citizen
do my best to promote the interests
of my fellow citizens."
\ William R. Hearst carried all five
"boroughs of Greater New York, and
went to the Bronx with a plurality of ?
72,027, divided as follows: Manhat- ^
tar and the Bronx, 58,133; Kings, ?
6315; Queens, 6728; Richmond, 851. J:
Hughes came to the Bronx with
126,546. "
The feature of the voting was the zl
big poll for Mr. Hearst in the large jr
cities and in the manufacturing
towns. j*'
Such cities as Buffalo, Rochester, ^
Elmira, Oswego, Rome and Pough- *
keepsie gave materially reduced Re- 5,
publican majorities. In the western ^
part of the State this Republican de- "
fection extended into the rural dis- ?
tricts also, such counties as Cattaraugus,
Chautauqua, the rural dis- P.
tricts of Erie and other counties
npnrlv nittfncr thft normal Renublican
majority in half. ,
Hughe3 carried all the up-State
counties with th? exception of Chemung,
which gave Hearst 300 plu- R
rality; Hamilton, which gave him C
116; NJagara, which gave him 300 R
plurality, and Schoharie, where the G
Democratic candidate got a plurality le
of 250. ol
In the State of New York above el
Westchester the vote was almost 1!
100,000 less than two years ago for H
Governor. Hughes received 70,000 ei
less than Iliggins in 1904, and Hearst
received about 30,000 less than Her- hi
rick. Complete returns will prob- fc
ably show that more than 110,000 tr
voters above the Bronx did not take al
any part in the campaign, which is ni
an unusual tmng, wnen tne intensity ?
of the political fight is considered. ai
The Legislature is Republican. In
the Senate there will be thirty-two A
Republicans, eleven Democrats, seven Si
Independence League, and one dis- G
trict is in doubt. The Assembly will -D
have at least 100 Republican mem- C
bersj^ and the Democrats and Inde- J*
pendence League combined about 1
fifty. 2,1
In New York City the Judiciary *
Nominators' ticket received scanty D
support. The Tammany Judges are
all elected. The Assembly and Senate
division in New York City will be
about the.same as it is now. Grady tl
defeated Rock easily. el
In the State the Republicans have tl
carried their usual number of Assem- ai
blymen and Senators, and the Legis- 01
lature will he largely Republican. 01
The latest f ires make this the prob- r?
able dlvisvn: Assembly, Republi- ei
cans, ninety-five; Democrats, fifty- ai
five: Seniie. Rennhlirans. thirtv-two: al
Democrats, nineteen. ol
a The hardest Congressional fight in w
y the State was in the Thirty-fourth in
District, where James W. Wadsworth ir
was defeated by Peter A. Porter, who Si
ran on a Democratic and Independent
ticket. Wadsworth was chairman
of the House Committee on Agriculture
and opposed President j,
Roosevelt's Meat Inspection bill last e|
winter. He had a sharp controversy js
with the President. j?
Representative George Southwick, j]
of Albany, and Representative James ^
S. Sherman, of Utica, had very hard 0
fights. 1

THE GREAT DESTROYEJ

Liquor Dealers Have Long Used tli
Bill-Board to Exploit The
Wares, and Now They Find Th
Gun Turned Upon Themselves,
The promoters of intemperanc
have long industriously utilized tfc
-billboard. Now they are findin
their guns turned upon themselve
In some parts of this country tfc
bill-board is being used to proclaii
the truth regarding the nature an
effects of beer and whisky, instea
of the usual lies with which tl
brewer and the distiller have di
ceived the people. But across ti
Atlantic this movement has mac
much-; greater progress, and is n<
confined to philanthropic societies c
individuals, but- is being prosecute
by many municipalities.
The movement firs'.; attracted st
ous attention a few years ago whe
the bill-boards of Paris were dec<
rated with warnings of this chara'
ter. The wine men flew to the re
cue and set up doctors to profes

the worst of the talking matches.
Then the policy spread to Germa
cities, and even Madrid was deo
rated with these bill-boards. C<
penhagen followed and then tl
movement reached England, whei
it spread more rapidly than an;
where else.
In England the billa were poste
chiefly by the health officers of tl
various municipalities at the expen:
of the cities themselves. The liqu<
dealers attempted to prevent the ui
of public monies for this purpose I
court proceedings, but were defeate
in test cases.
The following is a sample of s
official proclamation posted by moi

CITY OF NOTTINGHAM.
Physical Deterioration and Alcoho
ism.
The report of the committee pr
sented to Parliament by command <
His Majesty states that:
The abuse of alcoholic stlmulan
is a most potent and deadly agei
of Physical Deterioration.
Alcoholic persons are specially 1
able to tuberculosis and all inflar
matory disorders. Evidence ws
placed before the committee showir
that in abstinence is to be sougl
the sourceB of muscular vigor ai
activity. The lunacy figures show
large and increasing number of ai
missions of both sexes which are di
to drink.
The following facts, recognized t
the medical profession apd placard*
all over France by order of the go
ernment, are published in order i
carry out the recommendation of tl
committee, and to bring home to mt
and women the fatal effects of ale
hoi on physical efficiency:
(1) Alcoholism is a chronic poi
oning, resulting from the habitu:
use of alcohol (whether as spirit
wine or beer), which may never {
as far as drunkenness.
(2) It is a mistake to say thi
those doing hard work require stir
ulants. As a fact, no one requiri
alcohol as either food or tonic.
(3) Alcohol Is really a narcoti
dulling the nerves like laudanum <
opium, but it Is more dangerous tha
either, in that often Its first effe
is to weakeh a man's self-contr
while his passions are excited; hem
the number of crimes which occi
under Its influence.
(4) Spirits, as usually take
rapidly produce alcoholism, but mil
er alcoholic drinks, as beer, and ev?
cider, drunk repeateaiy every da
produce after a time alcoholic poi
oning with equal certainty.
(5) The habit of drinking Iea<
to the ruin of families, the negle
of sdclal duties, disgust for wor
misery, theft and crime. It also lea<
to the hospital, for alcohol product
the most various and fatal disease
including paralysis, insanity, diseas<
of the stomach and liver and drops
It also paves the wa7 to consum;
tlon and frequenters of publ
houses fjirnlsh a large proportion <
the victims of this disease. It cob
plicates and aggravates all acute dl
eases: typhoid fever, pneumonia, er
sipelas are rapidly fatal in the su'
ject of alcoholism.
(6) The sins of alcoholic paren
pre visited on the children; if the:
survive infancy they are threaten<
with idiocy or epilepsy, and mat
are carried away by tuberculosi
meningitis, or phthisis (consum
lion). *
(7) In short, alcohol is the mo
terrible enemy to personal health, '
family happiness, and to nation
prosperity.

France Grows Fonder of Absinth
~lie drinking of absinthe steadi
increases in France, and it is pr
posed to put a higher excise tax t
the mischevious fluid, which contaii
nrty degrees 01 aiconoi ana is sa
to be three times more intoxicatlr
than brandy of the same alcohol
strength. The annual consumpt'?
of absinthe in France now amoun
to almost a quart for each individu
of the entire population. A larj
proportion of the poverty and tt
worst crimes in Franco seem fair
to be attributed to the absintl
habit.
A Million a Day For Liquor.
In a recent notable sermon c
"Why tho Masses in New York ai
Poor," the Rev. Dr. Madison <
Peters said: "It is estimated thi
New York spends $1,000,000 a d?
for liquor, most of it bad, whic
amounts to more than the entire go
ernment of the United States. Tl
annual drink bill of New York
more than the entire amount receivc
for tariff. The interest on the city
annual drink bill at four per cent,
nearly equal to the income of all tl
universities and colleges in tl
United States."
Alcohol in Hospitals.
In a speech recently at the Bishop
gate Institute, Sir Victor HorsK
gave some remarkable figures 1
show how the use of alcohol in hosp
tals was declining. In 1862 near
$40,000 was spent on alcohol in tl
London hospitato and $15,000 c
milk; in 1902 the situation was a
most exactly reversed, about $ 15,0(
being spent on alcohol and over $4C
000 on milk.?National Advocate.
It is estimated that alcohol
liquors kill every year 60,000.
