Big Republican Victory Grows.
The Republican victory of last week has
grown as more complete returns have
come in. Roosevelt carried all the states
placed to his credit last week save Mary
land, where the vote is very close and
will require an official count, and possibly
a recount, to determine. At present It
appears that the Republicans elected one
elector and the Democrats seven. Mis-
souri, shows a good majority for Roosevelt,
the first time this state has ever been
carried by the Republican party. Every
northern state went Republican. IL the
Maryland vote is divided as now ex-
pected, Roosevelt will have 3i4 electoral
votes and Parker 40. Roosevelt has q
popular plurality OF 100000. The presi-
dent has received congratulations from
the pope, the German and Austrian en-
perors and other foreign rulers. The
president has announced that he will
not be a candidate for reelection four
years hence. He has given out that John
Hay will continue as his secretary OF
state for the next full term.
Pennsylvania gives Roosevelt the trem
endous plurality OF 49i, ,525. Ohio gives
him 10000, or three times as much as il
ever gave any other presidential candidate
Illinois gave him 100000 plurality, Of
which Chicago contributed l23,4ll. In
