Texas are confronting him with his
record. They suggest that lnasmuch
as he turned down the claim of Texas
labor in favor of st. Louis labor, that
he get his votes among the st Louis la
borers. The labor vote of his home
town and county is very strong, and It'll
questionable if Mr., Blanchette can go
to the state convention with the delega-
ton of his own county behind him.

WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS
 HAVE BUT LITTLE TO SAY
w. l. Douglas of Massachusetts, Seems to be About tht Biggest Man in the Party-TaIk of Candidate
 From the South in 1908

Washington November s-(SpeciaL)- The few democratsn. 'tatesmen who dared venture on the eAV<> of Washington to- day did not (. .>%o soS comment on the re- publican, oyNE the Roosevelt, land slide. %
 It ST SornF itself." said one of them. senat sESo'. m of Virginia, a member of the o S .atic national executive com r Q es dld only say: Its pretty tough;
 expected that we would carry the ' cry, but I was in hopes tIe election would show that we were putting the house in order for another fight"
 The senator hit upon the real discour- aging feature of the situation, viz: the fact that the party had not done as well in yesterdays test as it had in 1896 and 1900. In votes at least there has been an advance.
 Chairman Cowherd of the democratic congressional committee had little hope of electing a democratic house after his failure to obtain enough money from the national committee to pay the necessary expense of congressional campaign. He only hoped with every other democrat that there might be a landslide and the house pulled through by the national ticket.
 Douglas Is Big Man.
 ''The only man democrats could con- graduate today was w. L. Douglas of Massachusetts,' said a prominent demo- crat today. Parker has lost his state. Bryan has lost his. Ii looks to me as if Douglas is just now the biggest man in the democratic party and in line for the democratic nomination in 1908.
 Southern democrats .h Washington had little to say about the results of the election. As one of them put it, "there is nothing to say.'' There was, however one important feature resulting from their conversation; the nomination of a southern man for the presidency in 1908. We could certainly not do worse than by taking this course" suggested one of them 1.-The south has Loyalty supported the party nominee from other sections of the country; we have taken any one they chose to give u7 and l think 1t about

WEST VIRGINIA.

Parkersburg W. Va, November B. West Virginia seems to have kept pace with the rest of the union at Tues- days election. Returns which came in very slowly last night, have been receiv ed today with consid ,rabe rapidity, and the result can be definitely stated. The democrats concede that Roosevelt has carried the state by over 10000. while the republicans claim that Roosevelt's s majority will be the largest ever given to any candidate by ne state, and may exceed 300O0
 The democrats have not conceded the election of William O. Dawson, the re- publican nominee for governor, although hi election is claimed by the republicans by over 2O0O0
 State Chairman O. S. McKinny of Wheeling, says: We do not concede Dawsons election.''
 Chairman Northcott says: "We have carried West Virginia by over 30,000 for Roosevelt ever 10000 for Dawson and the entire state ticket We will have forty eight majority on joint ballot in the legislature, and have elected all five congressman"
 John c. Cornwell, democrat, for gov ernor, ran tar ahead of his ticket, and cut down Dawson's majority materially. Official returns are being watched care- fully by the democrats to see if by any chance Cornwell could have a majority.

slump throughout the state, the demo- not be known until the returns have been completed and assert that democracy in Missouri was yet victorious by a narrow margin. The republicans yearned for a complete victory throughout, and insist that Cyrus P. Walbridge for governor had not been defeated, but would finally be found to have won by a slight major ity. They also claim to have elected five of the sixteen congressman, making a gain of four, and declared a majority of two on joint ballot in the legislature, which has before it the election of a sem ator to succeed United States Senator Cockrell
 In the city of St. Louis, Roosevelt 8 plurality was 20S6 complete returns show ing the vote for Roosevelt 55,O56 and Par ker 52,970.
 John E. Swanger, republican, for sec- retary of state, boiled a plurality of 10,246 over Samuel B. Cook, the present incumbent Arthur N. Sager, republican. who will succeed Joseph w. Folk as cir cult attorney, gained plurality over Carl Otto, democrat, of 2543. The combined third party vote was 4000.
 The election in St. Louis and in the state passed off quietly. It was figured out in the republican headquarters that returns from S4 precincts in the state out side of St. Louis and Kansas City, com- pared with the returns from the same precincts four years ago, showed a dem- ocratic loss of 23 per cent.
 If the loss holds out approximately. 1t was asserted, throughout the state Wal bridge was not defeated.
 At democratic state headquarters 1t was claimed that Folk had carried the state by from 25OO0 to 4O0OO majority; that the rest of the state ticket was safe, and that Parker had carried the state by a small plurality. At nightfall these claims were still advanced.

time we asserted ourselves and make the northern democracy toe the scratch. John Sharp Williams ot Mississippi, or Joseph Weldon Bailey of Texas, are certainly presidential timber. A score of others might be mentioned. If we are to fur nish the votes why not the candi- dates"
 Southern Man Talked Of.
 It is expected that in the next year or two a great deal will be heard about the advisability of nominating a southern man in 1908 Early this year the sugges- ton gained considerable force but was suddenly checked by some of the most prominent leaders in the south, who claimed that the nomination of Judge Parker would insure the party the elee- toral vote of New York and with it tho necessary number of votes to control the electoral saIlge. There was, accordingly, a general southern drift to the New York jurist resulting In his nomination. That there will be a very serious discussion of the southern nomination is unquestiona- ble.
 However the results of state elections in northern states two years from now will play en important part The party may yet find a Moses but no democrat now knows where he is to come from. Should the rarty continue to lose in the northern states 1t will not be surprising if there is a straight southern ticket put forward four years from now, at least that is the way the democrats are talk ing around Washington tonight.
 Flutter of Reorganization Talk.
 There also is hutter of silly "re-organ- ization talk" going the rounds. One of such reports contained In special dis patch from New York tonight is that William R. Hearst, who has been giving worse than half support to the democratic ticket; Thomas T. Watson. who actively opposed it. and W. J. Bryan are to meet in few days and lay plans to control the organization. There are few democrats in Washington now. however who care to talk reorganization or any other kind of politics. The Roosevelt sweep has sim ply stunned them. e

MINNESOTA.

St. Paul, Minn., November 9.-When all the returns shall have been received, it is claimed LOW that Roosevelts major .ty will run close to 125,00O if not more. An estimate made today from incomplete returns indicate 1O9,O00 majority. The re- rublicans elected nine congressman, and the rest of the state ticket including a state legislature which is strong republi- can on joint ballot
 John A. Johnson, democrat and Ray w.. Jones, republican, were elected governor and lieutenant governor. respectively. There is no doubt as to Johnson's elec- tion, and the only matter of specula- tion, is the size of his majority over Robert c. Dunn, the republican candi- date. Returns from fifty of the eighty four counties in the state received today by the Dispatch indicate a majority of 1924. and Further figures were received to indicate that those not heard from would raise the total over 15,000.

Congressman H. W. Jackson, republican, of the first district, claims that frauds or trick ballots were used in the dis trict, and while he admits that the count of the ballots show that Smith was elect ed, he will contest the seat before the house of representatives.
 Returns from St. Mary's county show peculiar result. The figures for the county give Roosevelt and Fairbanks 1166, Parker and Davis 1923, while Mudd, re- publican, received 1562 and his demo- cratic opponent is credited with only 11O2 The falling off in the vote indi- cated for Roosevelt in the state is large ly due to the result in that count which is familarly known as the black belt"

Stone of Baltimore, who was sergeant-at-arms of the St. Louis conven- tion and other prominent republicans still claim Maryland rolled up at least 15O0 majority for the presidential ticket, while Chairman Vandiver of the democratic state central committee and other leaders of that party aver that he electoral vote of the state will be cast for Parker and Davis.

New York, Novem r 9.-The only po- litical headquarters that showed any signs of activity to day was that of the republican congressional campaign com mittee where Chairman Babcock and Messers Hull, Overstreet and Sherman were endeavoring to ascertain the major ity the republicans would have in the next house of representatives.
