THE VOTE OF THE STATES.

MAINE. The elimination from Tuesdays
| election of State contest in Maine de-
! tracted from the interest, but the result
| proved to be a magnificent victory fOl
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Returns tabulat-
| ed at 10 80 p. m., from $50 out of 519 cities
| towns and plantations, gave Roosevelt, 81 =
946 and Parker, q, 730. The same places in
| 1900 gave Mckinley, 1886 and Bryan, 49,
242 Roosevelt's plurality of 33,216 was an
| increase of Sl03. While the Republican vote
| from the first held even with that cast four
| years ago, the Democrats sustained loss of
about 25 per cent. A plurality of 81, 900 was
indicated by these returns
MASSACHUSETTS,. Although the Repub-
| licans carried Massachusetts for President
Roosevelt by $4,000 plurality, they lost the
goyernorship for the first time since 1892,
William l.. Douglass of Brockton defeating
Gov. John L. Bates of Boston by about 90
| 600 plurality. The balance of the Repubi-
can State ticket was elected as follows
Lieutenant governor, Curtis Guild, Jr., of
| Boston; secretary of State, William Nj.
Olln of Boston, treasurer, Arthur b. Cha
pin Of llolyoke; auditor, Henry L. Turner
ker of Lancaster. The Democrats lost the
Sd district and the delegation to the next
Congress will stand II Republicans to 3
Democrats.
NEW HAMPSHIRE. Roosevelt has car
ried the State by $4,000 to 10000, and Nc
i-dIe, Iepuolicdn, lOf governor, is erected
by at least 12,000 The governors council
is solidly Republican and the Legislature is
Republican in both branches by large ma
lOritieS
VERMONT Roosevelt carried this State
by $1,000 He ran ahead of Mckinley s
vote in 1900, while Parker ran behind that
of Bryan.
RHODE I,LAND. Indications are that
Roosevet's plurality will exceed 5000. Re
suit for Governor in doubt.
CONNECTICUT. President Roosevelt and
the entire Republican ticket carried the
State by an overwhelming plurality. 1t is
estimated that President Roosevelt's plu-
which is several thousand ahead of McKin-
ley's figures in 1900. The State ticket was
not far behind, and from Henry Roberts,
the candidate for governor, down, there
was clean sweep.
rality in this, his native State, is second
only to McKinley's 26S,0o0 in 1896. 1t ex-
ceeds McKinley's in 1900 by about Al 800
The late returns show that there were cast
for him in New York State about $4,000
votes more than for Parker, and his plu-
rality may be 250,OO0. Not only was his
the Republican stronghods are, but in
Greater New York, traditionally Demo-
cratic, he ran much closer to Judge Parker
than had been expected, even by his own
campaign managers. The Parker vote
every where fell below Bryan's in practical
ly all the upstate districts. In the Greater
New York Parker's plurality W IS from 49,
900 to $4,000 larger than Bryan's, but in the
State, according to the late reports, his total
vote fell 10000 short of Bryan's. Returns
from Ulster county, Esopus township, the
third district, Parker's district, show that
Roosevelt polled 173 votes against 159 for
Parker.
New JERSEY. Roosevelt's plurality will
approach if it does not equal the plurality
obtained by Mckinley four years ago, when
the State was carried by the Republicans by
5000. Edward C. Stokes, Republican, for
governor will have plurality of 10000 over
Charles c. Black, the Democratic candi-
congressman from New Jersey.
DELAWARE. Roosevelt has carried Della
ware by about 5000 and the Republicans
elect the governor and congressman. The
Legislature will be overwhelmingly Repub-
lican.
PENNSYLVANIA Roosevelt's vote in
Pennsylvania exceeds the expectations of
the Republican managers. His majority in
the State will exceed 100000. The Republi-
cans have elected 90 of the 80 congressman,
carrying all the doubtful districts. They
have also elected 25 of the 26 candidates for
the State senate and about 175 of the 2O4
members of the House of Representatives.
This gives them an overwhelming majority
in the next Legislature and inSures the cleo
ton of P. G. Knox of Pittsburg as senator
to succeed the late NJ. S. Quay.
MARYLAND. Result in doubt. IncOm-
plete returns from the counties show unex-
pected Republican gains
WEST VIRGINIA. Returns indicate Re-
publican victory.
OHIO. The lecord is broken on the Re
publican plurality in the State. A plurality
of 10000 is claimed for Roosevelt. The
Ohio delegation in Congress is 18 to 3,
possibly 10 tO2.
INDIANA. Three hundred and forty pre-
cincts in Indiana give Roosevelt 80, 1856, Par
ker 22,682. This would indicate that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has carried the State by
from $4,000 to 6O,OOO Indications are the
Republicans will control the General AS
sembly by majority of 30 or 40 on joint
ballot
ILLINOIS. Chairman West of the Illinois
State Republican committee, made the fol-
lowing statement: "kOOsevelt will carry
the State by 100000. Mr.. Deneen is elected
governor by the greatest plurality in the
history Of Illinois. The Republicans have
elected 10 congressman, a gain of two"
CALIFORNIA. Scattering returns indi-
cate that Roosevelt has carried the State by
larger majority than did Mckinley four
years ago.
NEBRASKA. The Republican State Com
mittee claims the State for Roosevelt by
