OMAHA, Nebr, Nov. S.-Nebrsska
will give Roosevelt a plurality which
will reach about 10000. George W..
Berge, the fusion candidate for Gov
ernor, is probably elected by a plural
ity of from 5000 to 5000. The returns on
the remainder of the State ticket are
coming in slowly, but indicate that the
Republicans will elect most of their
candidates. At least four Of the six
Congressman will be Republicans, and
it is believed the Legislature also will
have Republican majority. That body
will elect a United States Senator to
succeed Senator Dietrich.

still in doubt. but at midnight Con-

KENTUCKY.
Parker Wins the State by
10000 to $4,000.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Nov. 9.-With
one-third of the precincts reported at
1 o'clock the vote indicates a plurality
for Parker of from l.. 900 to 1900. The
figures of the Democratic and Repub-
lican managers show little variance
from this result.
In the Fifth District, composed of
Louisville and Jefferson County, the
Democratic plurality of 1896 in 1900 was
cut down by fully 1000 votes.
In the Third District also the Demo-
cratic plurality was reduced. The
complete returns from the strongly Re-
publican districts are not expected for
forty eight hours, but the reduction of
the normal Republican plurality there
as a result Of factional fight over the
Republican Congressional nomination
will partially offset the Republican
gains in the Third and Fifth.
The result Of the fight leaves the
Congressional delegation unchanged

The Populists increased their votes

Minnesota. going far beyond McKin-

On the face Of the returns so far re-
ceived the Republican electoral ticket
will have a plurality of more than 100,-
600. Parker's vote was much smaller
than that received by Bryan four years
ago and Roosevelt was especially
strong in counties which of old were
Populist strongholds. In Kittson Coun-
ty, for example, Roosevelt polled 1900
votes as against 100 for Parker, where
as Mckinley carried the county by
only 300. In st. Paul and Ramsay
counties Roosevelt will have close to
$500 plurality. nearly 1000 greater than
McKinley's vote.
Despite the tremendous plurality for
Roosevelt the Democrats apparently

From national headquarters word
reached him at half past o'clock
conceding the election of President
Roosevelt. Judge Parker immediate
ly dictated a message of congratula-
ton to the President. .-.-
over the telephone shortly after 10
o'clock Judge Parker received word
that President Roosevelt had sent a
reply to his message. The Presidents
telegram arrived later.
There was no feeling of gloom or
depression prevailing at Rosemount
tonight as the bulletins continued to
arrive. Many neighbors of Judge
Parker drove over to call on him after
dinner and at least forty villagers
went UP the hill to hear the election
returns.
Judge Parker threw open his doors
and everybody was made welcome.
After the first disappointment there
was laughing and joking among the
guests. They cheered the returns
from Texas at 10 o'clock and Judge
Parker's voice was heard above the
others as he laughingly observed
There's hope yet" Judge Parker
refused TO make any comment upon
the result Of the election.

So the Republican chorus swell
ed all through New York State.
In the farm houses and in the city
homes it was the same story. The
farmers did not want a change
any more than did the working
men in the cities of the State. The
Democratic vote in New York
City literally went to pieces. What
became of the $4,000 plurality
for Parker and Herrick in New
York County that leader Murphy
of Tanmany was talking of ?
What became of the 10000 i'll

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Theodore
Roosevelt's plurality in this, his native
State. is second only to McKinley's
26S, 900 in 1896. 1t exceeds Mckinley s
in 1900 by about Il. 500. The late returns
show that there were cast for Roose-
Welt in New York State about $4,000
votes more than for Parker. Not only
was his vote heavy in the country dis
tricts. where the Republican strong
holds are but in greater New York,
additionally Democratic. he ran much
closer TO Judge Parker than had been
expected even by his own campaign
managers
II had been rumored that he would
come down to the Bronx with better
than 10000 plurality. but the figures
tonight showed that this forecast
would be exceeded by approximately
IS, 000 In the city Parker's supporters
had expressed hopes that their candi-
date would have from 10000 to 10000
more than Roosevelt, but in this they
were disappointed by more than 1000
So overwhelming was the Republican
vote that the result was known posi-
lively early in the evening. The ear
hest counties to report made il clear
that the Parker vote everywhere fell
below Bryan's in practically all the up
State districts. In Greater New York
Parker's plurality was from 1900 to
IA 600 larger than Bryan's. but in the
State, according to the late reports, his
total vote fell 5000 short of Bryan's.
The small plurality for Parker in
New York City caused great astonish
ment the lowest preliminary ante-elec-
ton estimates having given figures
that he would 90 to the Bronx with
100000 plurality. When the reports
came in showing that he would lead
Roosevelt by only 10000 they were re-

Cd for Governor.

The result Of the election was cele-
brated in New York in the demonstrat-
ives manner characteristic of this city.
The Democrats are in a hopeless mi
nority in the Legislature, which will

NEW YORK, Nov. AT a. m.
1907 out Of 1850 precincts in New
York City reported a plurality of 49,
s1S for Parker. whose total vote, with
fcrty-three precincts missing in the
greater city. was 314,8S1, while that
for Roosevelt was 279,263. The re-
naming precincts were the outlying
sections and these figures are prac-
tically complete.
At a. m. the latsst figures on Gov

gins 257.O51 and Herrick 331,131, or a
plurality for Herrick of 1908, with

Illinois in Line.

Illinois has given stupendous
plurality for Roosevelt. Indica-
tons are that he has carried Cook
County, in which Chicago is sit
uated, by upward of 100000.
Iowa is Republican by 10000.
Wisconsin has been carried by
Roosevelt.
All of the Northwestern States
have given stupef1dous Republi-
can pluralities.
South Dakota is Republican by
10000.
Colorado is Republican and
Governor Peabody may be re-
elected. All of the Rocky
Mountain States have gone for
Roosevelt. The indications are
that even Nevada has swung from
the Democratic to the Republican
column, and all the Pacific Slope
States are Republican.
The result would seem to indi-
cate the wreckage of the Demo,
cratic party as organized at St.
Louis on "a safe and sane basis
under the leadership of Judge
Parker.

Delaware has gone Republican

well ahead of the vote cast for Lind
CD, who was defeated four years ago
by 1900. AT Democratic headquarters
Johnson's election was claimed by a
plurality of 10000 to $4,000. Chairman
Martin of the Republican State Com
mittee claims the election of Dunn, the
Republican candidate. but admitted
that the result would be close.
The Republicans elect the remainder
Nof their State ticket. No returns have
been received from the Legislative
candidates, but it is generally conceded
the Republicans will have a good ma
Jority on joint ballot, insuring the cleo
ton of Republican successor to SEN

ST. PAUL, Nov. s, midnight.-Re-
turns from the larger cities Of the
State are coming in very slowly. but
so far as received Johnson CD for
Governor is maintaining his lead over
Dunn and running enough ahead of
Lind's 1900 vote to insure his election
