ayers. Confident as they were Of sue

astonishing figures which followed the
closing OF the polls, bringing into the
Republican column not only all of the
states they had claimed as safe for
their candidate, but, with the posi-
BILE exception Of Maryland, every
STATE claSsed as doubtful.
Democratic successes are confined
to the solid South, in which Kentucky
is Included. Mr.. Parker has not car
ried a single state which did not give
it's vote to Mr.. Bryan four years ago.
Unofficial returns indicate that he has
lost some of those which the Nebraska
candidate held for his party. Official
figures from some of the Northwestern
states may slightly change the totals,
but based on the returns available at
a late hour the electoral vote stands as

Roosevelt Polls a Large Vote in New
Work.

YORK.
New York, Nov. 9.-Tneodore Roose-
velt's plurality in this, his native
state, is second only to Mckinley's in
1885, It exceeds Mckinley's in 1900
by about 41,5OO. The late returns
show that there were cast Tor him il
New York about 126,0)n votes more
than for Parker. Not only was his
vote heavy in the country districts,
where the Republican strongholds are,
but in Greater New York, tradition
ally Democratic, he ran much closer
to Judge Parker than had been ex-
pected- even by his own campaign
managers. 1t had been estimated that
he would come down to the Bronx with
better than 100000 plurality, but the
figures last night showed that this
forecast would be exceeded by ap-
proximately $4,000.
In the city Parker's supporters had
expressed hopes that their candidate
would have from 100000 to $50, 900
more than Roosevelt, but in this they
were disappointed by more than l00,-
900 votes. So overwhelming was the
Republican vote that the result was
known positively early in the evening.
The earliest counties to report made
it clear that the Parker vote every
where fell below Bryans in practical
ly all the up state districts. In Great
er New York Parker's plurality was
from 10000 to $4,000 larger than
Bryan's, but in the state, according to
the late reports, his total vote fell
$4,000 short OF Bryan's.
Frank Higgins, Rep, is elected gov
ernor by large plurality.
