will select two United States senators,

THE JOURNAL BULLETINS
News.of Roosevelts Election BuIIetined
at. 6:2O p. m.

The State Journal gave the people
of Topeka the first news of the election
of Theodore Roosevelt to the presi-
dency of the United States on its bull
letin window last evening at $40
| o. clock. A few moments later the
news was flashed upon the big canvas
which covered nearly half of the front
of the State Journal building, by the
aid of a powerful stereopticon.
As usual the State Journal gave the
people of Topeka splendid service in
the matter of election bulletins. The
facilities were far ahead of any other
of the numerous election bulletins in
the city, and was better than the best
ever before given by this or any other
Topeka paper on former occasions
An innovation in the manner of
presenting the bulletins was intro
duced. They were flashed upon the
screen in letters four inches high. By
new process arranged by the State
Journal the news was all in huge
typewriter form instead of in the
written style heretofore the custom.
The large and legible Roman let
ters were more easily read than were
the bulletins formerly used when they
were written on glass with pen and
ink, and were read by those standing
across the street from the white sheet.
The quality and speed was more than
doubled over the old method.
The printed bulletins were the cause
of much favorable comment from the
big crowd which stood for nearly six
hours in front Of the. State Journal
building. The crowd began to collect
from the time the first bulletin was
shown, shortly after o'clock, and
continued to grow larger until about
9 o'clock, and from that time on the
street was a solid mass of eager and
anxious spectators, blocking the thor
oughfare. A very large number
stayed on till IL o'clock, when the
service was discontinued.
The bulletins of the slow progress of
the counting of the ballots in the city
of Topeka, in Shawnee county, and
over the state of Kansas, and the
quick results from nearly all of the
other states of the union were rapidly
flashed upon the canvas. During the
evening ITO bulletins were given.

gram only serves to show the Repub-
lican victory more sweeping. Roose-
velt's plurality in the city of Chicago
alone was 103.s1s. and the returns
from Cook county outside of the city
will probably increase this by $4,000
or $4,000.
Charles S. Deneen,. Reb.ls for COVER
nor, ran close to the president through
out the city. The state gave him the
largest plurality ever cast for COVER
nor, latest indications being that he
was elected by 100000 plurality. Next
to President Roosevelt's record break
ing vote, the socialist poll for Eugene
n. Debs was a feature of the election
in Chicago. Debs polled a total of A.
595 votes in the city, against 5,115 cast
for him in 1900 Republican leaders to-
day claim to have carried every one
of the ten Cook county congressional
districts, something unprecedented.
On the face of the, returns it is in
dictated that every one of the So wards
in Chicago went Republican, although
the count in one or two is so close that
a recount may show a different result

NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 9.-The latest re-
turns from New York state with some
districts missing, indicate pluralities of
16S,791 for Roosevelt and about "a
900 for Higgins. Roosevelt has APP
proximately 100000 outside of the
Greater New York, while Parker's
plurality in the city is less than $4,000.
New York, Nov. 9.-The latest fig
ures from New York state and city in
dictate that Rooseyelt's plurality above
the Bronx is about 265,000 and that Par
ker's below the Bronx is about 81 900,
giving the state to Roosevelt by 22S, 600.
For the governor, Higgins apparently
is 10000 ahead in the upstate counties
and Herrick $4,000 better than Higgins
in the city, electing Higgins for COVER
nor by about $1,000. The legislature is
undoubtedly overwhelmingly Republi-
can, assuring the election of a Repub-
Iican to succeed Chauncey NJ. Depew.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 9.-The
Republican pluralities in Connecticut

feated Bryan at the high water mark

erts, the Republican candidate for
governor, although badly scratched,

by 25,971. Congressman-at-Lar
Lilley shared in the flood of ballots by
getting a plurality of 1884 over Ken
needy, formerly one of the Bryan lead
ers in the state. The four reelected
Republican congressman each had
pluralities which the most confident
never expected to see. The legislature
is overwhelmingly Republican

A YELL is WANTED.
Washburn Is on Hunt for a Better
One.

The washburn Review in this weeks
issue takes up the ancient problem
which has bothered the college south
west of the city for years past, namely
the lack of a suitable yell. The fol-
lowing is said edEorially on the sub
ject:
At all contests where the roofing of
the students is done out of doors Wash
burn has always been at a disadvan-
tage, and will remain so unless some
Improvement is made. Her yells do not
carry. They do not carry for two rea-
sons, the yell is not the kind to carry
and the whole bunch of students trying
to vociferate are not well enough &C
quainted with it to put their life into
it. Washburnites have each yell print
ed in the alphabetical catalogue in
their hand, but one particular one IS
not drilled into them; they have not
one yell which is a part of them. We
have never since we entered WaShburn
heard the college students attempt to
give a yell where they all knew it. 1t
is considered the proper thing to learn
as many as you can and the result is
no one feels sure of knowing any. The
college can not expect her students to
do her justice in the roofing ordeal
when she hands them two dozen or
more on a printed card twice or three
times a year; tells them to take their
choice and yell the one which most
pleaSeS them.
Card systems are all right in their
place but it ought not to be necessary
to learn over a yell each time 1t is
necessary to use one
The step for Washburn to take is to
select some one best adapted for root
ing (and there are not a great num-
Der of suitable ones now froIc which to
choose) and learn one well that ev-
cry student in Washburn; every other
college man and every high schooI
student will know it. Washburn wants
a yell that will be characteristic and
that will follow her everywhere she
goes, on the athletic field, on the de-
batting or oratorical platform or in
whatever role she is acting.
The Review believes it is a bad mis-
take to try to do too much. We want
a good yell; one that will wake up
everybody; one that everybody will
know and one that will have preced-
ence over all others When we get a
yell of this kind we will use it every
where; the faculty will find no rest;
we will, instead of being inspired to
silence break over with enthusiasm
which we now keep penned up into the
veil which will be part of one. We
won't need to hesitate what yell to use
nor refer to a card before using 1t.
Yelling the one Washburn yell will be
a part of our business and an evidence
of orr LOYALTY.

In making these claims neither paper
offers any definite ngures to support
them.
Chairman Milton Smith of the state
Democratic committee, issued a state
ment this morning, claiming the cleo
tion of Alva Adams for governor and
the entire Democratic ticket for other
state offices and for congress by
pluralities ranging from $4,000 to $1,000.
He also claims that the Democrats will
have majority in the legislature,
which canvasses the vote for governor.
Republican Chairman D. B. Farley
said that the Republican state ticket
and candidates for congress were un-
questionably elected by pluralities of
1900 to Ii, 900 and that the Republic
