Higgins Elected New York's Governor
by More Than 100000 Plurality.
Pennsylvania Republican Plurality
Enormous-Maryland Close - West
Virginia Republican.
New York, Nov. 9-Theodore Roo
sevelt's plurality in this, his native
state is second only to McKinley's in
1896. 1t exceeds McKinley's in 1900
by about Al 500. There were cast for
him in New York state about 1876, 900
votes more than for Alton B. Parker.
Not only was his vote heavy in the
country districts, where the Republi-
can strongholds are, but in the Great
er New York, traditionally Demo
cratic he ran much closer to Judge
Parker than had been expected, even
by his own campaign managers. 1t
had been estimated that he would
come down to the Bronx with better
than 10000 plurality, but the figures
showed this forecast would be ex-
ceeded by $4,000.
In the city, Parkers supporters had
expressed hopes that their candidate
would have from 100000 to 1906
more than Roosevelt, but in this they
were disappointed by more than 100,-
OOO votes. So overwhelming was the
Republican vote that the result was
known positively early in the evening
The earliest counties to report made
1t clear that the Parker vote every
where fell below Bryan's in practical
ly all the upstate districts. In Great
er New York Parker's plurality was
from $4,000 to $4,000 larger than Bry.
ans, but in the state his total vote
fell 10000 short of Bryan's.
The small plurality for Parker in
New York City caused great astonish-
ment. the lowest preliminary ante
election estimates having figured that
ne would go into the Bronx with 100,-
OOO or more. When the reports came
in showing that he would lead Roose-
welt by only 10000, they were received
with amazement.
The Parker plurality in the city was
$4,000 less than was given Herrick,
Dem, for governor. In Brooklyn the
Republican managers thought Parker
might lead Roosevelt, but reports give
Roosevelt plurality. His .osGl vote
tell 5000 short of Bryan's.
There was a great surprise in the
proportions of the vote for Higgins,
Rep, for governor, he running far
ahead of the Odell vote in the coun-
ties and winning by about $4,000. His
plurality above the Bronx was prob
ably 100000, while Herrick's in Great
er New York aggregated about U.s.
600. Herrick did not carry Albany,
his home county, nor did Parker carry
Ulster, in which he lives.
The result of the election was cele-
brated in New York in the demonstra-
tive manner characteristic of this city.
The large crowds in the streets, sat
ished that Roosevelt had been elected,
