The official canvass by States of the

pra ctically completed, and it shows as
nothing else could how complete was

tie totals that are now ayailable but
they cannot alter the Significance Of
the verdict rendered by the American
people.
The vote for Roosevelt indicates an
apparent gain of 4sO370 over IcESir-

the Bryan vote 1,23S,122, the proper
