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 candidates have ever
received When the electors meet,
343 Of them will cast their vote for
the Republican candidates and l33
will be cast for the Democrats. The
figures are the result of the Republi-
can electors carrying every one 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 plurality of more than
$4,000 for the Republican ticket, anu
the latter was kept in the Roosevelt
and Fairbanks column by a plurality
of over $4,000. IN addition to these
two pivotal States, the ones 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-imperialism platform OF
1900. Even Missouri climbed into the
Republican band wagon.
The States that were conceded to
the Republicans, notably Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois, the Northwest
and New England, in every instance
increased the Mckinley plurality from
10000 to 100000. Maryland and Mon
tana also went for Roosevelt. For
Judge Parker only the solid South re-
manned absolutely faithful
Roosevelt carried thirty-three States;
Parker eleven. Pennsylvania gave
Roosevelt a plurality of 100000. Hi
nois came second with 100000. Ohio
gave him 100000. California rolled up
a plurality of los, 5000, while Minnesota
trotted along with 125,OO0, New Jer-
sey with 5000 and Michigan with
f64. 900. Folk was elected Governor Of
Missouri: despite the fact that Roose-
velt 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 Cockrell's 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
$1,000 plurality, and La Toilette was
elected by $4,000. Congressman Bah
cock, chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, won out with
284 votes to spare. Massachusetts
gave Roosevelt 86,279 plurality, but
elected Douglas, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, by 35,71O plurality.
ul TcluEuB lEOLu III Rul 10 VI thC
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 Legis-
lature Is deadlocked, and the Office
probably will remain vacant.
Chicago, usually Democratic, went
for Roosevelt, every one of the thirty.
Eve wards giving him plurality, and
Cook. County rolled up plurality Of
10000 for Roosevelt.
Connecticut gave Roosevelt the nm
precedented plurality Of $500, or 10,
600 more than it gave Mckinley In

1900 Tor Roosevelt, and gain = Re
publican Governor.
