Lnwrrnco Y. Sherman, roiiibllcan, to
tlio Unttod Stales sonalo.
CHICAGO, Nov. G. Senator Law
renco Y. Sherman, republican, was re
elected In Tuesday's election by 6000
or moro plurality, over Hogcr C. Sul
livan, democrat, according to almost
complete returns available today. The
missing precincts arc scattered In
rural regions of tho stato nnd nre
nbout equally divided between repub
lican nnd democratic territory.
Senator Sherman early today de
clared that his plurality would total
10.000 or more, while Sullivan still
contended that tho official count
would mako him winner.
Ilnymond Uoblns, tho progressive
candidate, polled a trtflo moro than
half as many votes as either Sullivan
or Sherman, having about 100,000.
Modlll McCormlck of Chicago Is
tho only progressive ro-eU-cted to the
state legislature and the only progres
sive successful in Chicago. Only
two other members of the party wero
named for the legislature In the state.
Tho progressives had 2C members of
the last assembly.
1'rescnt returns indicate that the
republicans elected at least 7? mem
bers of tho stato house of representa
tives, allowing them to select tho
speaker without any bl-partlsnn ar
rangement. Tho senato will be about
equal as to republicans and domo
crats.

PKTHOURAl), via London, Nov. C,
fi:30 n. m. Tho now position of the
German army front along tho ltlver
Wnrthe, over 75 miles west of the
Vistula river which they reached at
tho time of the attempted attack on
Warsaw, Indicated tho tremendous
ictrent of General Von lllndcnberg's
ontlre army in Poland during the
Inst two weeks. This retront Is re
garded as especially important since
such noted Industrial centers as LoiU,
l'lotrkow, ltadnm and Klelce were re
captured by the Russians. The
strategic point at Sandomlr, which Is
nt the Junction of the San and Vis
tula rivers, has also been retaken.
On tho east Prussian frontier tho
Germans have met with no success in
assuming the aggressive, and at somo
points the Russians hnvo eon crossed
into Germany. In this region, how
ever, tho German retreat was not
marked by serious losses.
While the retreat of the Austrlans
operating In South Poland nnd Ga
ltcla is not so marked, as that of the
Germans, the official reports here In
dicate that they have- moved per
ceptibly backwards.
