New Fork. Nov. 16.-With the cleo

atty of President Roosevelt ia the ma

Des Moines, Nov. 10-Semi-official
returns OF the total vote cast In eighty
odd counties In Iowa indicate that the
plurality for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
may exceed all former estimates, en-
pandfyg to 10000. ..ts...... d.. .
Eighty-three counties gave the re-
publican ticket a plurality of 139, 467.
AZ this rats@the plurality for the en-.
tire state would exceed 165, 900, but the
politicians note that most OF the very
large republican counties, such as
Polk, with 1900 plurality for Roose-
welt, are included in the eighty-odd
counties used as basis for these fig-
ures. But 1t is possible that the plur-
anty will exceed the 1850 estimated
by the managers, and on the official
returns It may be fully 10000.

its history, Dubuque county gave a

and congressman.
The figures which have been receiv-

In general. the situation is chiefly
interesting because of the fact that the
tickets in many OF the states were cut
President Roosevelt ran ahead Of his
ticket In many localities, notably In
Massachusetts, where he secured a
plurality Of $4,000 votes, while the
republican candidate for governor was
defeated by $4,000. In that state tho
legislature is republican and the en-.
tire republican ticket, with the excep.
ton Of governor, was elected. In Mis-.
