Theodore Roosevelt Of New 1ork

President of the United States by
the largest popular vote ever gwen
candidats for those offices. Ihelr
vote in the electoral college will Oe
the largest any candidates have ever
received. When the electors meet.
343 of them will cast their vote for
the Republican candidates and iS3
will be cast for the Democrats. The
figures are the result Of the Repubii-
can electors carrying every one OF the
so-called doubtful States, including
West Virginia, the home of Davis.
The States that contributed chiefly
to the success of the Republican can
didate are New York and Indiana.
The former surpassed all expectations
by rolling up plurality of more than
$4,000 for the Republican ticket, anu
the latter was kept in the Roosevelt
and Fairbanks column by plurality
of over 5O,OCU. In addition to these
two pivotal States, the ones placed i'll
the doubtful column by the Demo-
cratic managers were Connecticut.
Delaware, New Jersey. Rhode Island
and West Virginia. all of which went
strongly Republican, with o1seye,t
heading the ticket. as they did four
years ago. when Mckinley Won over
Bryan Colorado. Idaho and Nevada

though they were counted for Bryan
on the anti-imperialism platform OF
1900 Even Missouri climbed into the
Republican band wagon.
Roosevelts popular vote is the
largest ever given a candidate for the
presidency. 1t is estimated that he
received over ], ,536, 500 plurality. That
is nearly double the plurality McKin-
ley received in 1900 and almost three
times as many as Mckinley received
in 1896. In 1896 McKinley's plurality
was GOT, ,S34 and in 1900 $40. 100.
Roosevelt carried thirty-three States;
Parker eleven. Pennsylvania gave
Roosevelt a plurality of 100000. Illi-
nois came second with 100000. Ohio
gave him 100000. California rolled up
a plurality of JOS, 600. while Minnesota
trotted along with 125.O0O, New Jer-
sey with $1,000 and Michigan with
10000. Folk was elected Governor of
Missouri despite the fact that Roose-
welt carried the State and nearly all
the Republican candidates with him.
The Missouri Legislature will be Re
publican on joint ballot, which will
prevent Senator COckrells return to
tie Senate. Colorado gave Roosevelt
1900 plurality, but Peabody is de-
feated for Governor by 5000. In Wis
consin, where the La Toilette and
Spooner Republicans have been at
swords points, Roosevelt won with
$4,000 plurality. and La Toilette was
elected by $4,000. Congressman Bah
cock, chairman Of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, won out with
2S4 votes to spare Massachusetts
gave Roosevelt S6.279 plurality, but
elected Douglas. the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. by 35.71O plurality
Full returns from all parts of the ,
country. with only three congressional |
districts missing, show that the House |
Of Representatives will shape UP like |
this: Republicans, 244: Democrats,
142; Republican plurality. 102
Addicks is beaten for the United |
States Senate in Delaware. The Legis- |
lature is dea locked, and the office
probably will re.nain vacant.
Chicago, usually Democratic. Went |
for Roosevelt, every one of the thirty |
five wards giving him plurality, and |
Cook County rolled up 4 plurality of |
10000 for Roosevelt
Connecticut gave Roosevelt the un-
plurality of $500, or 49, |
600 more than it gave Mckinley in |
1900. Little Rhody trailed along with |
$4,000 for Roosevelt, and gain Il Re |
publican Governor.
The Socialist vote in Illinois and
California was very large. In the for
mer 1t was 10000.
