HE NEARLY GOT
ALL OF THEM
Possible Roosevelt Gets Three Hun
dred and Twenty-Five.
MAY BE EVEN MORE.
There Was Considerable Speculation
as TO Which Party Carried Mis-
souri,, but Folk Evidently
Elected Governor.

New York. Nov. 10.-President
Roosevelt will probably have 325 cleo
toral votes as the result OF Tuesdays
balIoting. Unofficial returns mp to
noon Wednesday gave the basis for this
estimate. which, however. may be in
creased by the eighteen votes from
Missouri when returns from that state
shall have been completed. or. on the
other hand. may be decreased by sew
en- votes when the count is completed
in West Virginia. Both sides claim a
victory in Missouri. where the Repub-
lican state committee believed they
elected walbridge for governor by 1000
to 1000 and the state as well for Roose-
welt. In West virginia the returns
come in very slowly. but Republican
victory is Indicated.
4 tabulated statement OF the indi-
Gated results shows Roosevelt carried
the following states with an electoral
vote Of COS: Colorado. California, Con-
necticut. Delaware. Idaho. illinois. In
diana. Iowa, Kansas. Maine. Maryland.
Massachusetts. Michigan. Minnesota.
Montana, New Jersey, Nebraska New
Hampshire. Nevada. North Dakota,
Ohio, oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land. South Dakota. Utah. Vermont.
West Virginia, Washington, wisconsin.
Wyoming.
Parker elected electors In the follow
ing Estates. with n total OF ISL votes:
A -. q
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi. Mis-
souri,. North Carolina. South Carolina,
Tennessee. Texas. Virginia
Returns from Missouri. Maryland and
West Virginia are awaited with great
interest. The first named is claimed by
both sides, although II is generally con-
ceded Folk is elected governor by the
Democrats. The Republican state COM
mittee, however. asserts its figures In
dictate the lection of Walbridgc by
more than 1000 and claim the state for
Roosevelt by 1000.
The general belief at Wheeling IS that
Roosevelt carried West Virginia by
more than 10000. but returns are ex
tremely meagre. II is thought proba-
BILE the legislature will be Republican
q successor to Senator Scott.
Returns from Minnesota Indicate the
election Of the Democratic nominee for
governor. Johnson. who ran Especially
well in Scandinavian Counties His
success, however. had no effect on the
national ticket. which went u zee
welt by at least 100000. -
In Wisconsin. while the Req an
national ticket went through a
heavy majority. # is thought t4s 1eEis
lature viii be so divided between the
Republican factions that deadlock
may occur over the choice Of a sue
cessor TO Senator Quarles.
Complete figures are lacking from
Iowa. but those at hand Indicate the
success OF the entire Republican state
ticFet.
While Colorado probably gave
Roosevelt 10000 plu ality. 1t seems the
state ticket Is in doubt Scratched bal
lots were cast to the number of at
least 10000 and counting Is very slow.
on the Pacific coast Republican sue
cess is general. In California. where
Roosevelt's majority will be at least
10000, the next legislature. will be Re
publican by large majority II will
select n successor to Senator Bard.
Reports from Nebraska are incom
plete as to the state ticket ana the
election Of Berg IS claimed by the Dem
ocratic state committee.
The feature OF the returns from Mis-
souri, is the probable defeat Of Repre-
sentative Cowherd. chairman of the
Democratic congressional committee.
Indications are the next house OF rep
resentstives viii be heavily Republican.
Dispatches so Tar received show 2O2
congressman have been elected by Re
publicans against 15s by Democrats.
OF the remaining district thirty-two
are now represented by Republicans
and thirteen by Democrats.
