PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
OHIO.

Columbus, Nov. 9.-The returns in
dicate that the republicans have
broken all their records in Ohio. Their
highest plurality was 1877, 900 in 1894
on small vote. while that of yester-
day was on large vote greatly eX-
ceeding one million. Last year the
republican plurality for Gov. Herrick
of 10000, the second highest in the
history of the state, was also on a to-
tai vote much less than million. The
pluralities of 1894 and 1903 were
largely due to many democrats failing
to vote, but the returns indicate that
they voted yesterday.
The average republican plurality in
Ohio for the past ten years was 1892.
The largest plurality Ohio ever gave
any president was 69,030 for McKin-
ley four years ago, and the republican
committee estimate that the plurality
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks will be
double the highest plurality ever
given Mckinley either for governor or
president. 1t is estimated at from
100000 to 100000. The republicans
claim a net gain Of at least one con-
gressman, Taylor in the Twelfth dis
trict.
The republican pluralities. in the
five largest cities We're: Cincinnati
$4,000. Cleveland $4,000. Columbus
1000, Toledo 5000, Dayton 1000, and
republican gains were noted in the
rural districts. For the first time the
townships in Franklin county outside
of Columbus gave a republican plu-
ra!ity. Franklin county constitutes
the Twelfth congressional district,
which has been represented by a dem
ocrat.

NEW HAMP PSHIRE.

Concord, Nov. "a big vote was
polled in New Hampshire, but the in
dependent voter was in the booths in
larger numbers than ever before, with
the result that the counting of the
split tickets badly delayed the re-
turns.
There is no doubt, however, of com
plete republican success. Roosevelt
has carried the state by $4,000 to 90
600 and McLane, republican, for gov
ernor, is elected by at least $4,000.
The legislature is republican in both
branches by large majorities.

any doubt but that all ten democratic
congressman have been elected. Only
the two mountain districts are in
doubt. the Eighth and Tenth. These

appears to be about $4,000.

MISSOURI,

st. Louis. Nov. 9.-At l o'clock this
morning the results of the election in
Missouri and in st. Louis We're in
doubt. Both sides claimed victory.
The democratic state committee
claimed that the state had been car
ried by majority of $4,000 and St.
Louis by 5000, and that Is democratic
congressman had been elected and
the legislature will be democratic by
majority of 40, assuring the re-elec-
ton OF United States Senator Cock
rell. On the other hand, Republican
Chairman Niedringhaus was equally
assertive that st. Louis had gone re-
publican by 10000 and the state ma
iority would reach 5000. He felt con-
fident that final returns would show
five republican congressman elected.

ILLINOIS.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-The indications
last night, based on the returns re-
ceived, were that the republican ma
tional ticket had carried Illinois by
about 100000. The chairman OF the
republican state central committee
asserted that Roosevelt would GER
tainly have a plurality not far from
100000. The returns on congressman
are slow, but it looks as if the repub-
licans had gained at least two in Chi
cago.
President Roosevelt has apparently
carried Chicago by about 10000 and
Cook county by 10000 to 100000.
Charles S. Deneen, the republican
candidate for governor, will have
about the same plurality. The repub-
licans have probably carried the First
and Eighth congressional districts,
hitherto democratic.
