Saturday, when a hurricane effort
was made to view the mammoth

R0OSEVELT'S BIG VOTE.
Plurality in Kansas Is Over One Hum
dred and Twenty-six Thousand.

President Roosevelt's official plu-
rality in Kansas is 126,O93. These fig
ures are official. The state canvassing
board is making its official canvass of
the returns by counties today, and this
is the result found.
The total vote cast for president in
Kansas was 324,5SS. 1t was DIVIDED
among the presidential candidates as
follows:
Roosevelt. Republican, 21O,S93.
Parker, Democrat, $4,000.
Debs, Socialist, Is. 494.
Swallow, Prohibition, 7,245.
Watson, Populist. 6,156.
This does not represent the total
vote cast, however. 1t is known that
in some counties, at least, a consider
able number of ballots were cast
which expressed no choice on presi-
ballots were generally those of Bryan
Democrats who would not vote for
Parker but who would not vote for
Republican, and who therefore left
their ballots blank on president
There was also a considerable num-
Der of ballots spoiled. These were
many of them Republican ballots
which would have counted for Roose-
welt had they not been spoiled, but
would have been against one or more
candidates on the Republican state
ticket.
The State Journal stated some time
ago that Roosevelt's plurality would
be something over $4,000. 1t also
