New York Surprised.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.--The greatest
surprise of the election was given to-
day when it was learned the vote of
the solid south" had been broken
by the great Roosevelt landslide.
With Missouri in the republican coll
umn, President Roosevelt Will have
343 votes in the electoral college.
While both sides claim the state,
which for 35 years has been safely
democratic in national elections, late
returns this afternoon place Missouri
under the republican banner. That
Joseph Folk carried the state for gov
ernor is not disputed.
In West Virginia the returns come
in slowly, but a republican victory
is indicated. The landslide is aug
mented by a plurality of 100000 in
Pennsylvania and the impotency Of
Tammany is evidenced by the loss of
Brooklyn by Parker.
Marked republican gains in con-
gressional districts and a change of
complexion in several state legislat-
ures have firmly established the re-
publican control of congress by
majority of 81 in the house and "a in
the senate.
Late returns indicate the election
of republican legislatures in Nebras-
ka, Washington, Connecticut. Della
ware, Utah, Wisconsin, West Vir-
ginia and Nevada, with the possible
addition of Missouri. Among the
democratic senator's likely to be re-
tired are Cockrell of Missouri and
Gibson of Montana.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-11-09

Sweeping victory for the entire re-
publican ticket is the result of the
election yesterday. Although all of
the precinct returns are not yet in,
there is sufficient to indicate a certain
victory for the entire state and couu-
ty tickets.
In Spokane county Turner lei Mead
by about 1000 votes, to which re-
naming precincts Will add nearly an
other thousand. Roosevelt carries the
county by over 10000.
The legislative ticket is secure to
the republicans, although the iudica-
tions are that Pratt and Brown will
run close race. one of the hI
surprises of the day was the manner
in which Huncke leads Belt i'll the
judgcship race.
Erwin for county treasurer will
have the largest vote. Barnhart has
defeated Edge with an overwheimiug
majority and Doak has at noon loco
plurality over llsc for sheriff.
The republican candidates for con-
grcss are elected by comfortable ma
jorities. PoindeNter. Iluucke and
Kennan are elected superior court
Judges.
Hinkle and Stocker have walkovers
for justice of the peace. One feature
of the race of these two is the fact
that in Judge llinkle's own precinct,
Judge Stocker ran ahead two votes,
The counting of the votes is as
slow as was the voting yesterday
and reports made to the different
headquarters Indicate that II will be
night before some of the precinct re-
turns are made The scratch tickets
are many and this delays the count.
From the country precincts the re-
turns are coming In better than from
the city With few exceptions these
precincts give all of the republican
candidates except Mead n good ma
jority.
County Assessor Dayton Stewart
has won easily over the Spokesman
Review candidate, Tyerrell The
fight against the assessor fell down
completely and Mr. Stewards victory
may be classed along with the vic
tory of Mead and Erwin.
One of the startling things about
the city vote was the 500 ballots east
for Eugene V. Debs for president.
Twenty-six precincts, country and
city, give the following:
State treasurer--Mills. Sl52; Mud
sett, 3S99.
County treasurer--Erwin, 3702;
Fitzgerald, 20S0
Prosecuting attorney Barnhart
3416; Edge, 22St

Out of 80 precincts Roosevelt has
a326, Parker S52 and Dcbs i2t.
