Republicans Also Elect Their Govern.
or and All Their Candidates
For Congress-.

Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. S.-Even the
Democratic managers concede that
Vice Presidential Candidate Davis was
not able to hold his own state from
the Republicans. The Republicans
claim that the majority for the Roose-
welt. electoral ticket will exceed 10000,
and may go as high as $4,000. These
estimates are, however, based upon
scattering returns. The result Of the
poll In the mountain counties has not
been ascertained, and the returns from
them are likely to be delayed till late
tomorrow.
The Republicans elected all their
candidates for congress. B. b. Dov-
ener, Republican, carries the First

case, but no figures are yet at hand
The Legislature, which elects Unit
ed States senator to succeed N. B.
Scott, will be Republican on joint
ballot, although the Democrats have
made gains in the lower house.
All the indications at midnight were
that William o. Dawson, Republican
candidate for governor, has a safe ma
jority over John Cornwell, Democrat
on the largest vote ever cast in the
state. Dawson, however, dropped faI
behind the national ticket in the fal
southern section of the state.

VIRGINIA

PARkER'S MAJORITY NOT
LESS THAN 10000.

Richmond, Va. Nov. 8.-The first
presidential election since the new
state constitution disfranchiang the
negro, went into effect, shows a light
vote as compared with 1900 but the
Democratic majority apparently is not
reduced. 1t is estimated that Parker's
majority in the state is not less than
10000.
All the Democratic representatives
are reelected and the lone Republi-
can, Campbell Slemp Of the Ninth dis
trict, is returned to congress by a
largely increased majority. Two years

CONNECTICUT
GIVES ROOSEVELT 10000 MAORI
TY AND ELECTS A REPUB-
LicAN GOVERNOR.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 8.-Conser-
vative estimates place Roosevelt's vic
tory in Connecticut at over 10000 and
the Democrats practically concede the
election of Roberts, Republican, for
governor by nearly as much, giving a
majority on joint ballot in the legisla-
ture to elect q successor to Jos. r.
Hawley, in the United States senate.
The result of the vote today, while
not surprise to the Republican cam
paigners. is a distinct disappointment
to the Democrats. They had more
money in this campaign than in any
year since 1892, and on last Friday the
sum of 100000 was sent by the Dem.
ocratic national committee in the be-
lief that 1t could be used successfully
to swing this state for Parker and
Davis.
The new state officers are Henry
Roberts, governor; Rollin S. Woodruff
lieutenant governor; Theodore Bod
vein. secretary of state; James F.
Walsh, treasurer, and Ashbel w. Nit
chell, controller. General Henry A
Bishop, the Democratic candidate for
lieutenant governor, ran slightly
ahead of his ticket. The vote for the

Of the total. The Roosevelt majority
may be 5000.

RHODE ISLAND
WILL NOT GIVE MORE THAN 5000
FOR ROOSEVELT-lEG
LATURE REPUBLICAN.

Providence, r. J., Nov. S.-Sufficient
returns had been received at midnight
to make it pretty certain that Rhode
Island has given it's electoral vote to
Roosevelt and Fairbanks by about
5000. Later returns may reduce this
estimate, but will probably not in
crease 1t.
The vote for governor, which is COM
ing in very slowly, owing to the enor-
nous vote cast and the slow way in
which they are counted, leave the cleo
ton of governor in doubt, but the
indications are that Governor Garvin
is defeated by very small margin.
1t looks as If the Republicans had
gained one representative, Stiness, in
the First district. The legislature will
be Republican, insuring the return of
Senator Aldrich.

ROOSEvElT'S PLURALITY ESTi.
MATED FROM 125,ooo TO
10000.

Columbus, O., Nov 8.-The state Of
Ohio has given Theordore Roosevelt
plurality that will exceed any ever
given favorite son or the Buckeye"
state. The early indications that 1t
was a Republican landslide were more
than borne out by the count of the
ballots, while the complete figures are
not as yet to hand no estimation Of
the total plurality falls short 100000
while conservative estimates range
from 125,OOO to 100000. Local issues
were brought into the contest and sew
eral of the counties, with the result
that there were many Split tick
cts thus cast making the work of
counting the vote task Of consider
able magnitude. The congressional
delegation from the state will likely
show an increase of at least l and pos
sibly two Republican congressman.
although until the vote is counted this
cannot be positively stated.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. S.-President
Roosevelt's popularity in this section
of the country gave the Republicans
clean sweep throughout the state
today, and it is by no means certain
that the Democrats have won single

have certainly carried IL OF the IL dis

Lucking, Democrat, who is now the
representative in congress, has plu.
rality Of only 625, with several pre-

HIGGINS GOVERNOR

New York, Nov. 8.-Theodore Roose-

ren Fairbanks, of Indiana, have car
ried into office Frank Wayland Hig-
of about 100000 and their election, In
consequence to the Offices of president
and vice president is conceded without
question. The landslide in this state
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks has car
ried into Olive Frank Wayland Hig-
gins, of Olean, for governor, who will
carry the state by about 100000 over
Judge d. Cady Herrick, Democrat.
Roosevelt's tremendous plurality in
the state upset every political fore
cast, and prophets who predicted a
tight fight are astonished. Roosevelt's
plurality exceeds that Of Mckinley in
1900, when the Republican ticket won
by $4,000.
The result was known positively at
o'clock, when August Belmont, of the
Democratic national committee. con-
ceded the election Of the Republican
ticket by an overwhelming plurality.
So surprising was the extent of presi-
dent Roosevelt's victory that Cord
Meyer, chairman of the Democratic
state committee. declared that Roose-
velt's plurality was so large that he
did not care to discuss it. Chairman
Cortelyou, of the Republican national
committee, when he heard of what
Chairman Meyer had said. remarked
that he agreed with him. the inference
being that the figures spoke eloquent
ly for themselves. At 9:15 o'clock II
became apparent that all the so-called
doubtful states in the north had given

that Roosevelt would have more cleo
