.I,. The West.
The West presents a solid phalanx
Of States for Roosevelt. beginning at
Ohio and Indiana and extending clear
to the Pacific slope. Indiana has gone
for Roosevelt by perhaps 100000 Ma
rion county, the home of Thomas Tag
CART, chairman Of the Democratic ma
tional committee, which has decided
so many presidential contests, went
largely for Roosevelt.
Illinois has given stupendous plu-
rality for Roosevelt.
All Of the Northwestern States have
given stupendous Republican plurali.
ties.
All the Rocky Mountain States have
gone for Roosevelt, their idol.
The indications are that even Ne
vada has been swung from the Demo
cratic to the Republican column. and
all the Pacific slope States are Repub.
lican.
Parker Knitted.
Under the surface the Democratic
party has not been united. The Bry.
an leaders apparently were loyal, but
the minor leaders for weeks have been
working to defeat Judge Parker In or
der to bring about new reorganiza.
tion Of the party, looking to the nom.
mating of Mr.. Bryan for president in
1908.
On the other hand, many followers
Of Mr.. Hearst have been engaged In
slaughtering Parker, and the candida
cy of Thomas e. Watson on the Pop
ulist ticket has been used as mask
under which an anti-Parker propagan
da has been conducted throughout the
country
The effect of this is shown in the re
turns of Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut and Illinois.
The word seems to have gone around
secretly to Bryan men in every sec
tion Of the country to defeat Judge
Parker because he was the candidate
of David B. Hill and various Colo
Democrats in the East, so that the
party could once more be reorganizet
on radical lines and make fght
against the trusts four years hence.
The knowledge of this appears t
have inspired Judge Parker to takt
the stump and make his serious charge
against President Roosevelt and Mr.
, Cortelyou in the hope that 1t woult
swing the radicals back into line. HI
| made the move too late, and the con
spiracy of radical Democrats wa
| brought to a successful conclusion a
yesterdays election.

given to Mr.. Higgins very large plu-
rality. 1t has decided to elect the en-.
tire Republican State ticket. A Re-
publican legislature by increased ma
jority, and to increase the Republican
representation for this State in con-
gress.
What became of the 10000 plu-
rality for Parker and Herrick in New
York county that Charles F. Murphy
was talking of? What became of &c..
00O in Kings county that Patrick H.
McCaren was boasting Of and betting
on? What became of the 5000 or g..
900 that was promised by Joseph Cas-
sidy, the Democratic leader of
Queens? Echo answers "What?"
The Irish Vote.
The Irish vote appears only largely
to have swung to the support of the
young president, and some Of it to the
support of the Republican State
ticket.
Kings county, before the returns
were half in, showed that the nomi-
nees for president were running al
most neck and neck. Queens county
greatly dwindled away, and the figures
at midnight on the presidency de-
cidedly reminded one very much Of
the returns of four years ago when
Mckinley carried Kings county by a
small plurality, and Bryan had only
about 10000 in Kings county.
The returns from New Jersey ap-
pear to show an equally emphatic re-
turn. Estimates, subject to revision,
are that Roosevelt will carry it by
between $4,000 and 10000. Mr.. Stokes,
the Republican nominee for governor,
is elected by plurality half that Civ
en- for the Republican national ticket
Connecticut has gone for Roosevelt
by majority largely in excess Of 20,'
600.
Massachusetts, has given an aston
ishing result, however. The Roose
welt electors are chosen by large plu
rality, but William l.. Douglass, Dem
| ocratic nominee for governor, has been
elected. This is one of the real sur
prises of the election. Roosevelt gets
that State by 10000 or 10000 or more
Gov. Bates is defeated by the Demo
cratic manufacturer by $4,000 or 80,
coo. Mr.. Douglass made his campaign
on the labor issue and on the issue oi
free raw material. If this issue coult
| have been successfully applied to the
/ Democratic campaign the result nigh
have been different in Massachusetts,
1t might have been different else
where Mr.. Douglass has been thu
first Democrat to carry the State in 6
presidential year on his first candi
dacy.

full States in the East, has chosen Re-
publican electors by pluralities which
may be larger than those of 1900
Gov. Garvin (Dem.) may be reelected,
but the returns are meager.
Delaware has gone Republican prob
ably by 5000. The vote for Roosevelt
is one of the largest ever given a nom
inee in that State. The entire Repub-
lican State ticket, as agreed to at the
conference between the Addicks and
anti-Addicks Republicans, Is elected,
and the legislature Is heavy Republi-
can.
Even Maryland seems to have gone
Republican. The city of Baltimore
was very close, which was an unex-
pected loss to the Democrats on the
issue of 'leave well enough alone"
In view of the returns the State never
had been in the doubtful column, but
for the race question, which was raised
by the president. 1t is estimated that
the Republicans will carry Maryland.

MAY Not Sell the pesrs.

J. B. Richardson, administrator
Of the W. H. Jackson estate, is quot
ed as saying that he doubted very
much whether he would sell the deer
Of Belle Meade at the coming sale
of personally on this noted stock
farm. Some years ago when an eff
fort was made to sell the deer the
timid creatures almost killed them
selves in the effort to escape the pro-
cess of moving. For this reason
they may not be sold.

MISSOURI.
The Result In This Democratic State
In In Doubt,

st. Louis, Nov. S.--At 1915 o'clock
only scattering returns had been re-
turned from all portions Of the State,
and the result in Missouri, both in the
State and national tickets was still in
doubt. At that time the Democratic
State committee claimed a State ma
jority of $4,000, while the Republican
State committee persisted in Re-
publican State majority of 10000.
Out of 405 precincts in st. Louis,
243 gave Parker 0,426, Roosevelt 32,.
660, Folk (Dem) for governor 34,370,
Walbridge (Rep.) 29,213.

of the popular vote than was ever
cast for q nominee for president, and
by larger majority of the electoral
college than was ever given before.
So the people have decided, as they
always have done in affairs In this
country, and they have decided in un-
mistakable terms in favor Of the ad-
ministration at Washington, and
against any change in existing bust
ness conditions. The result is a vote
of confidence in President Roosevelt
of such an emphatic character as to
stagger an ordinary man and over
whelm him with responsibilities which
the vote will invest him with during
the next four years.
New York State, contrary to general
expectations, was not doubtful about
anything. 1t was not doubtful about
the presidency, because it will give
Mr.. Roosevelt plurality aggregating
100000.
New York State was not doubtful
on the governorship, because it has

Indications Are That The Republican

Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 8.-Returns

tions on we'll distributed returns are
that Roosevelt's plurality will be 1885,.
900, and the entire State ticket will
have about the same number. Repub'
licans elect congressman with the
chance that the Second district, which
is in doubt, will go Republican.

CONNECTICUT.

Republican Majority Of 1900 VIII Be
Repeated.
Hartford, Conn, Nov. S.-Early re.
turns from Connecticut seems to show
that the Republican majority of four
years ago will be repeated. Roose-
welt will probably receive 10000 ma.
jority. All the Republican candidates
for congress are elected by substantial
majorities. Roberts, the Republican
candidate for governor, will run be-
hind his ticket at least 5000 votes.
Most of this is in this city, his home.
Roosevelt receives about 1900 major
ity here, but Roberts run behind at
least 1000, and may be $500.

Tennessee Pension Matters.

Report comes from Nashville that
the Board Of Pension Commission
ers has just completed its regular
quarterly session. The board has
now more men on the roll than is
provided for by the appropriation,
and if the latter is not increased the
names added at the session just
closed will have to be stricken from
the roll. These names being added
take up the lapses which have oc-
CURED in the last six quarters. On
report Of the special examiner,
Frank A. Moses, the board restored
four third-class pensioners that had
been dropped from the roll on
charges preferred. The board add
ed one second class, six third class
and eighty-fve fourth class pension
ers to the roll. On the report Of the
special examiner ten pensioners
were suspended on charges pre-
ferred. On the report of the sec
retary, John P. Hickman, twenty
five third class and eight fourth
class pensioners were dropped from
the roll, having died during the last
quarter.
