Twenty-four hours after the polls clos
ed, the returns from this state indicat-
ed that Roosevelt's plurality would
reach 4s5,000. Next came Illinois,
where the president polled approxi-
mately 225,000 more votes than did
Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roosevelt
100000, and New York 174,000. New
York city returns are still incomplete,
but the amazement over the result has
not subsidized. Judge Parker carried
Greater New York city by nearly A.
900 votes.
In general. the situation is chiefly
interesting because of the fact that the
tickets in many Of the states were cut.
President Roosevelt ran ahead of his
ticket in many localities, notably in
Massachusetts, where he secured a
plurality Of $4,000 votes, while the
republican candidate for governor was
defeated by $4,000. In that state tho
legislature is republican and the en-
tire republican ticket, with the excep-
ton Of governor, was elected. In Mis-
souri, circumstances are similar.
In Nebraska the definite announce.
ment that the legislature is republi-

William j. Bryan had aspirations for
United States senatorship. In that
state, too, the governorship is in
doubt, and 1t will require official re-.
turns to determine. who Is elected.
Both sides claim victory.

600 plurality, but where a democratic
