unworthiness or otherwise, you know

knew that people refused to assist
your wife and children to one days

a Christ like spirit within you, how
do you think He would act in this
matter?
If Christ refused to have anything
to do with the unworthy, where would
you and I be today, my brother, my
sister? But friends there are many
homes in this city that are worthy
of your assistance. That home where

state by $4,000 majority, but that the
Roosevelt landslide in the country at large
has affected Missouri and the national
ticket has run behind the state ticket to
an extent estimated yariously at from
5000 to $1,000. 1t states that Folk will
carry St Louis by majority of about
5000.
At the republican state Headquarters at
$3.50 o'clock it was asserted that returns
then received indicate that EWalbridge, re-
publican, has been elected governor by
from 1900 to 40O0 and that Roosevelt has
carried the state by 10000,

While the returns from tfe state are in
complete they indicate, aecording to the
Post Dispatch Qnd. -dem.), thai the demo-
cratic national and state tickets were
elected, with the possible exception of Cook
and Allen, candidates, respectively, for Sec
retary of state and AUDITOR who ran be-
hind FOLK for governor. According to the
same authority, Folk carried st. Louis by
10000 majority over Walbridge, republican,
for governor.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, November s.-The
Journal returns up to 4:15 o'clock indicate
that Roosevelt has carried the state and
that part of the republican state ticket is
elected, though Folk, democrat. for gov
ernor, probably is safe.
The Times Gnd.) at am. says: "At
this hour, with increased democratic losses
in the country, the indications point more
strongly to the probability that Roosevelt
and Fairbanks have carried Missouri and
! that the plurality for Joseph w. Folk
(dem.) for governor, over Cyrus p. Wal
bridge (rep.) will be something like 10000
TT also is becoming more than a possi-
pility that the next legislature, which will
elect successor to Senator Francis M
Cockrell (dem.) will be republican.
Returns from the country are coming
in slowly and figures will be late.
William s. Cowherd, chairman Of the

that the republicans have carried Missouri
for the national ticket, but gives no fig

COLORADO.

DENVER, Col November 9.-The re-
markable feature of the balloting in Col
orado yesterday was the number OF
scratched votes, which in some counties
were so per cent of the total. The demo
Gratis claim that the scratching was done
in favor of Adams, their nominee for gov.
ernor, while the republicans assert thai
Peabody, the republican nominee, received
his share of the scratched votes.
There is nothing transpiring which would
justify changing previous statements that
Roosevelt and Fairbanks had received the
electoral vote of the state, although the
democratic state chairman will not at this
time concede that Parker and Davis are
beaten here.
The News (dem.) maintained today that
according to the best estimate that could
be made from incomplete returns from
most of the counties of the state Adams
has been elected governor by a plurality of
10000 to 1900, and that he carried Denver
county by over 5000. 1t claims that the
entire state ticket and Shafroth and Whit
ford candidates for Congress, have been
elected, and tblt the election to Congress
of Maupin from the scond district is prob
able Admitting the result on the national
ticket to be close, the News says that it is
likely that Parker has carried the state.
No figures are given upon which to base
this prediction, however. The News also
says that the democrats will control both
branches of the legislature if present indi-
cations are verified.
The Republican, on the other hand, claims
that Peabody has been reelected by at
least 10000 plurality, and that Denver
which has been the democratic stronghold
at recent elections, has been carried by the
republican ticket.
The claim is made that Roosevelt has run
5000 to 5000 ahead of his ticket 1t is also
claimed by the Republican that the next
legislature will be assuredly republican.
In making these claims neither paper
offers any definite figures to support them
DENVER, Col, November 9-Estimates
on returns so far received indicate that
Roosevelt's plurality in Colorado will be
about 10000 and that Alva Adams (dem
will have at least 5000 plurality over James
H. Peabody Qep) for governor. Peabody
lost many counties which have always been
considered republican. Returns indicate
the election of John T. Shafroth (dem) as
congressman-at-large, Robert w. Bonynge
(rep.) in the first and Herschel NJ. Hogg
(rep.) in the second district.

MISSOURI.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November 9.-Slow prog
ress has been made toward an accurate
count of Missouri's vote. but partial re-
turns up to IL o'clock today showed re-
markable republican gains in ST. Louis and
almost throughout the state. In many
counties the usual democratic plurality was
cut IN half. The Post Dispatch Gndepend-
ent democraO at ii m. inclined largely
toward the conviction that Roosevelt had
carried Missouri, and the republican state
committee insisted that final figures would
show republican majority of 10000 on
the national ticket.
That Joseph w. Folk. democrat. has car
ried the state for governor, was the claim
made generally, but figures on the state re-
suit were lacking The democratic state
committee asserted that Folk will show q
ma jority of 10000.
Complete returns show that ST. Louis
has gone republican with the exception that
the city gave Joseph W. Folk democrat, a
plurality of over 10000. AID the democratic
municipal candidates save one were defeat
ed by pluralities ranging from 500 to 5000

PENNSYLVANIA.

PHILADELPHIA, November 9.-Roose-
velt's majority in this state will reach the
unprecedented figure of 100000, and the re-
publicans have probably elected thirty-one
of the thirty-two representatives. The only
democratic representative who now appears
sure of election is Kline in the thirteenth
district.
In the sixteenth district, now represented
by Representative Dickerman, the fight is
very close between Samuels, republican
and Davis, democrat, with latest returns
indicating that the former has been elected

resentative Schulz, the present member rar

both the republicans and democrats claim
the election of their respective candidates.
In the tenth and twentieth districts, which
were both claimed by the democrats, re-
publcans have been victorious. The re-
publicans will have majority in the legis-
lature on joint ballot of about 225.

legany county complete gives Roosevelt
5,177; Parker, 3,30S; Pearre, All; John
son, 2,906. The returns of two precincts,
one each in Westport and Mount Savage,
were not received until this morning The
congressional vote falls behind the presi-
Dental 100 in each party, due to the voter
failing TO find the name of the representa-
tive on the ballot after he had marked the
space for President The inactivity of the
democrats is a matter of much comment
The workers absented themselves from the
polls and little attempt was made to get
out the vote. This was due, it is said, TO
the fact that no funds were on hand. and
further to the belief that Maryland would
be safely democratic.
The greatest election celebration in the
history of the city took place last night
continuing until early this morning. Many
democrats voting the republican ticket
Joined in the celebrat ton.
Colonel Pearre is being deluged with tele-
grams of congratula tions. His majority in
Garrett, 1,136, is the largest ever given
republican candidate in that county. Col.
Pearre's plurality will be in the neghbor-
hood OF $500. Eckhart. this county. a
mining town, went republican for the first
time in its history. In one district in Frost
burg seventy-three republicans voted for
President, but failed to vote for Congress.

Gf the party leaders, but in the city of New
York the democratic plurality was largely
reduced.
The legislature Is republican by an in
creased majority in both branches.
Unofficial figures indicate that they have
elected 102 of the $50 members of the as
sembly. and that they will have thirty-five
of the fifty state senators.
Another surprise came from Missouri in
an admission that the legisla ture Is in
doubt the republicans now claiming that
on joint ballot they will have TWO majority.
AS this legislature will elect a successor to
United States Senator Cockrell, the situa-
ton is made more than ordinarily interest
ing, and the official count on the legislature
will be awaited with as keen anxiety as
that for President. The election of Mr..
Folk. the democratic candidate for COVER
nor, is conceded.
NEW YORK, November 9-President
Roosevelt probably will have 325 electoral
votes the result of yesterdays balloting
Late unofficial returns give basis for this
estimate which, however, may be increased
by is votes from Missouri, when the re-
turns from that state shall have been
completed. or, on the other hand may be
decreased by votes when the count is
completed in West Virginia. Both sides
claim n victory in Missouri. where the
republican state committee believe they
have elected Walbridge for governor by
2.O0O to 1900. and have carried the state
as well for Roosevelt. In West Virginia
the returns have come in very slowly but
republican victory is indicated

This is practically borne out by the fact
that Folk wins despite the republican vote,
and Folk, in the capacity of circuit attor-
ney, zealously prosecuted boodlng.

state chairman when seen in his home was
elated over the result.

that Cornwell, democrat, has defeated

possibly the entire democratic state ticket
may go into office on the anti-Dawson
wave. The republicans have the legislature
on joint ballot. but by reduced majorites,
insuring the return of N. B. Scott to the
