The West.
The West presents a solid phalanx
OF States for Roosevelt, beginning at
Ohio and Indiana and extending clear
to the Pacific slope. Indiana has gone
for Roosevelt by perhaps 10000. Ma
rion county, the home of Thomas Tag
CART, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, which has decided
so many presidential contests, went
largely for Roosevelt.
Illinois has given a %stupendous plu-
rality for Roosevelt.

Parker Knitted.
Under the surface the Democratic
party has not been united. The Bry-
an leaders apparently were loyal, but
the minor leaders for weeks have been
working to defeat Judge Parker in or
der to bring about a new r%eorganiza-
ton of the party, looking to the NOM
mating of Mr.. Bryan for president in
1908.
On the other hand, many followers
of Mr.. Hearst have been engaged in
slaughtering Parker, and the candida
cy of Thomas E. Watson on the Pop
ulist ticket has been used as a mask
under which an anti-Parker propagan-
da has been conducted throughout the
country.
The effect Of this is shown in the re-
turns of Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut and Illinois.
The word seems to have gone around
secretly to Bryan men in every sec
ton of the country to defeat Judge
Parker because he was the candidate
of David B. Hill and various Gold
Democrats in the East, SO that the
party could once more be reorganized
on radical lines and make a fight
against the trusts four years hence.
The knowledge Of this appears to
have inspired Judge Parker to take
the stump and make his serious charge
against President Roosevelt and Mr..
Cortelyou in the hope that it would
swing the radicals back into line. He
made the move too late, and the con
spiracy of radical Democrats was
brought to a successful conclusion at
yesterdays election.

Of the popular vote than was ever
cast for a nominee for president, and
by a larger majority of the electoral
college than was ever given before.
So the people have decided, as they
always have done in affairs in this
country, and they have decided in un-
mistakable terms In favor of the ad-
ministration at Washington, and
against any change in existing bust
ness conditions. The result is a vote
Of confidence in President Roosevelt
Of such an emphatic character as to
stagger an ordinary man and over
wheln him with responsibilities which
the vote will invest him with during
the next four years.
New York State, contrary to general
expectations, was not doubtful about
anything. Il was not doubtful about
the presidency, because it will give

The Irish Vote.
The Irish vote appears only largely
to lave swung to the support OF the
youlg president, and some of it to the
support of the Republican State
ticket.
K.2gs county, before the returns
were half in, showed that the nomi-
nees for president were running al
most neck and neck. Queens county
greatly dwindled away, and the figures
at !Aidnight on the presidency de-
cidclly reminded n very much or
the returns Of four years ago when
McIinley carried Kings county by a
small plurality, and Bryan had only
about 81 5000 in Kings county.
The returns from New Jersey ap-
pear to show an equally emphatic re-
turn. Estimates, subject to revision,
are that Roosevelt will carry it by
betwcen $4,000 and $4,000. Mr.. Stokes,
the !. publican nominee for governor,
is elected by a plurality half that Civ
en- or the Republican national ticket.
Connecticut has gone for Roosevelt
by a majority largely in excess OF 20
O0o.
Massachusetts, has given an aston
ish:n5 result, however. The Roose-
veil electors are chosen by a large plu-
rality. but William l.. Douglass, Dem
ocratic nominee for governor, has been
elected. This is one of the real sur
priaes of the election. Roosevelt gets
that State by 5000 or 10000 or more.
Gov. Bates is defeated by the Demo
cratic manufacturer by 25, 900 or 30
600. Mr.. Douglass made his campaign
on the labor issue and on the issue OF
free raw material. If this issue could
have been successfully applied to the
Democratic campaign the result might
have been different in Massachusetts.
1t might have been different else
where. Mr.. Douglass has been the
first Democrat to carry the State in a
presidential year On his first candi-
dacy.

GuIfport's Census.

According to a citizen of Gulf
port, the city council of that place
has just completed a municipal cen
sus which shows that Gulfport has
an actual population of ALP. In
GLIDING the suburbs, which are in
reality a part Of the city, the popu-
lation is about $500, and with the
extension of the corporate limits
Gulfport hopes to ecure free mail
delivery. Mississippi's principal ex-
port point has enjoyed a marvellous
growth during the past few years.
When the Federal census was taken
four years ago Gulfport was cred
tied with a population of only LOGO.
The town has grown to four times
her population of four years ago, or
at the rate of 100 per cent each

Bitten by Mad Dog.

Hon. S. d. Hewes, president of
the Kinds county board Of superyis-
ors, left last week for New Orleans
with his little 12~-year-old daughter,
who will be placed under treatment
at the Pasteur Institute in that city
for a mad dog bite. Mr.. Hewes
lives near Edwards, and his child
vas bitten on one of the lower limbs
a few days since by a vicious dog.
The animal was afterwards killed.
Thus far the child has shown no
signs of hydrophobia, but Mr..
Hewes deemed it prudent to place
her under the treatment Of the
skilled physicians at the Pasteur In

A Majority for the Socialists.

A single precinct in Perry coun-
ty, BIcCallum by name, and it is
probably the only one in the State
of Mississippi, gave a majority Of
one for the Socialists. True, the
majority was only n over the
Democrats, but it indicates that the
sentiment in favor of that party has
a strong following in the lower part
of the State, particularly in those
counties contiguous to the gulf. No
organization of the party had been
heard of until during the past year,
when the fact was developed
through a monthly periodical pub
lished at Biloxi in the interest of
the Socialists.

Ever Received.

Chicago, Nov. 8.-According to re-

will give Roosevelt the largest plu-
rality ever given to any presidential
candidate. He had by the unofficial

making his plurality in Cook county
not far from 107, 200.

Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. S.-Demo-

Roosevelt, but claim the election of
Cornwell for governor. The latter is
running ahead of the ticket every
where, but may loose through the fact
that he must overcome largely in
creased Republican majorities. The
gains made for Cornwell in precincts
that have reported will not be suf-
icient if the ratio is maintained to
elect him.

TEXAS.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 8.-Returns in
from most of the State indicate that
the three constitutional amendments
voted on in Texas today, one seeking
to provide for State banks, another
for the irrigation Of Texas by coun-
ties, and the third to increase the
State pension roll for Confederate
veterans, were all defeated in today's
election. 1t will require a two-thirds
vote for them to be adopted, and it is
believed they will hardly get a ma
jority, if that much.

Republican Majority of 1900 Will Be
Repeated.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. S.-Early re-

that the Republican majority of four
years ago will be repeated. Roose-

majorities. Roberts, the Republican
candidate for governor, will run be-

Most of this is in this city, his home.
