Eben S. Draper has been elected governor of Massachusetts over James H. Vahey, the Democratic nominee, by a plurality of about 68,000. Louis H. Frothingham '93 has been elected lieutenant-governor. The success of the Republican ticket was expected, since the state gave Curtis Guild, Jr., '81 such a large plurality last year.
In New York Governor Charles E. Hughes has defeated Lieutenant-Governor Chanler by over 62,000, after a bitter fight, waged mainly on the issue of the governor's reforms. The contest has attracted wide attention throughout the country.
Governor Johnson of Minnesota is also re-elected, although Taft has carried the state by a large majority. Speaker Cannon has been re-elected by a liberal plurality.
