Theodore Roosevelt Of New York
and Charles w. Fairbanks Of Indiana
have been elected President and Vice
President of the United States by
the largest popular vote ever given
candidats for those offices. Their
vote in the electoral college will be
the largest any capc!dates have ever
received. When the electors meet,
S43 Of them will cast their vote for
the Republican candidates and lbs
will be cast for the Democrats. The
figures are the result of the Repubii.
can electors carrying every II of the
sO-called doubtful States, including
West Virginia. the home of Davis.
The States that contributed chiefly
to the success of the Republican can
didate are New York and Indiana.
The former surpassed all expectations
by rolling up Il plurality OF more than
$4,000 for the Republican ticket, anu
the latter vas kept in the Roosevelt
and Fairbanks column by Il plurality
of over $4,000. In addition to these
two pivotal States, the one placed in
the doubtful column by the Demo-
cratic managers were Connecticut.
Delaware, New Jersey, Rhode Island
and West Virginia, all Of which went
strongly Republican, with Roosevelt
heading the ticket. as they did four
years ago, when Mckinley won over
Bryan. Colorado, Idaho and Nevada
also fell into the Republican ranks,
though they were counted for Bryan
on the anti-imperiaItsm platform oe
1900. Even Missouri climbed into the
Republican band wagon.
Roosevelt's popular vote is the
largest ever given a candidate for the
presidency. 1t is estimated that he
received over 1876, 500 plurality. That
is nearly double the plurality McKin-
ley received in 1900 and almost three
times as many as Mckinley received
in 1896. In 1896 McISinley's plurality
war col 1884 and in 1900 $40, 100.
Roosevelt carried thirty-three States;
Parker eleven. Pennsylvania gave
Roosevelt n plurality of 100000. Iii
nois came second with 240,0 600. Ohio
gave him 100000. California rolled up
a plurality of 10000. while Minnesota
trottel along with $4,000, New Jer-
sey with $4,000 and Michigan with
164,0O0, Folk was elected Governor of
Missouri despite the fact that Roose-
welt carried the State and nearly all
the Republican candidates with him.
The Missouri Legislature will be Re-
publican on joint ballot, which will
prevent Senator Cockreifs return TO
the Senate. Colorado gave Roosevelt
$4,000 plurality, but Peabody is de-
feated for Governor by 5000. In Wis
consin, where the La Toilette and
Spooner Republicans have been at
swords points, Roosevelt won with
75,G00 plurality. and La Toilette was
elected by $4,000. Congressman Bah
cock, chairman of the Republican Con
gressional Committee, won out with
2Sa votes to spare. Massachusetts,
gave Roosevelt S6,279 plurality, but
elected Douglas, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, by 35,71O plurality.
Full returns from all parts of the
country. with only three congressional
districts missing, show that the House
of Representatives will shape up like
this: Republicans, pa; Democrats.
142; Republican plurality, 102.
Addicks is beaten for the United
States Senate In Delaware. The J agis-
lature is deadlocked, and the office
probably will remain vacant.
