A COMPLETE RESTORATION
Only the Fine Arts Building Will BE
Retained ON Worlds
Fair Site.

st. Louis, Nov. 10.-Definite plans for
the restoration of Forest park after
the Worlds fair are now practically
complete, and Immediately after the
closing of the gates, December 1, the
work of destruction and restoration
will begin.
At the meeting of the board Of direc-
tors Of the exposition, held at the
Worlds fair, the executive committee
reported on the plan submitted to it
by the restoration committee.
This plan was approved by the en-
tire board, and was referred to the ,ex-
ecutive committee with power to act.
This plan provides for the removal
of every exposition structure with the
exception Of the Palace of Fine Arts.
The intramural railway will not be re-
tanned. Architect Kessler's plan for
perpetuating the most notable pieces
of the Worlds fair statuary did not
come before the board. Likewise, the
question of retaining the central basin
of the lagoons as a miniature lake was
not discussed. These matters were left
with the executive committee, to be
decided after greater elaboration.

The popular vote for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks will be the largest ever
cast in this country, and the plurality
on straight votes will exceed anything
ever attained by the candidates of
either side.
The way in which the tidal wave
struck New York state, and more es-
pecially New York city, IS the aston
ishing feature of the dag. That Roose-
welt would carry the state there was
but little doubt, but no such plurality
was looked for by republicans or DEM
ocrats. 1t was confidently believed
that Herrick would be elected and his
astonishing run ahead Of the national
ticket shows that onty the abnormal
conditions prevailing all over the
country defeated him.
The landslide hit New York city
proper hard. To come down from the
122, 900 Coler plurality of two years
ago to a total plurality in the entire
city for Parker of abort $4,000 and a
plurality of about $4,000 fD' HeirIck
was a hard blow to Tammany.
Following are som of the late re-
turns from the states:

st. Louis, Nov. 12.-Returns of the
Missouri election, now being tabulated
at republican and democratic head
quarters, complete, with the exception
of five counties, which probably will
show a net republican plurality Of
1000, indicate that Sam B. Cook, cam
didate for reelection as secretary of
state on the democratic ticket, is de-
feated by 10000 votes.
Auditor Albert o. Allen, also a can
didate for reelection, is 1870 votes
behind Wilder, republican nominee
while the remainder of the democratic
state ticket is probably lost by plurali-
ties varying from 500 to 5000.
Judge Evans, chairman of the DEM
ocratic state committee, says Folks
plurality will be slightly in excess of
$4,000.
He admits that the democrats have

plete returns may swell even this un-
precedented figure. Charles s. Deneen's
plurality for governor will be but little
less. The tremendous uprising in the
Prairie state for Theodore Roosevelt
among voters of all parties has upset
al political calculations. Some of its eff
fectS are:
Tw~enty-three of the 25 congressman are
republican, whereas only 10 were even
hoped for.
Both branches Of the state legislature
are strongly republican.
Every ward in Chicago went republican
for the first time on record in a general
election.
Not more thar rs of the 1O2 counties in
the state gave a Parker plurality.
The largest plurality for a republican
candidate for governor ever given in Illi-
nois until yesterday was 1891, received
by John X. Tanner in 1896, when the state
went for Mckinley by upward OF lag, 600.
The remarkable gains made by the So
cialist party, coupled with the detection
of Bryan democrats. contributed to the
record-breaking showing made yesterday.
Chicago furnished the greatest surprise
in the state, If not in the entire country.
Had anybody predicted Monday that
President Roosevelt would carry the city
/ normally democratic-by more than 1OO,-
900, he would have been scoffed at.
In 1900 Mckinley carried Chicago and
Cicero by 1901. Tuesday Roosevelt car
ried the same territory by more than 1O7,
900.
Deneen ran ahead of Roosevelt in the
city by about 5000. His total Chicago vote
was 213,3S Stringer's being 100, 514.
Congressman Foster (dem.) lost in the
Fourth district, which is usually good for
] 5000 democratic plurality.
/ The socialist vote In Chicago, and In
the state causes unconcealed surprise. In
| Chicago the vote for Debs was Al, 1857, and
in the state as a whole his vote is esti.
mated at 100, 900. In Mclean county the
socialist vote increased from 95 four years
ago to $50, and in many Of the industrial
centers of the state the same proportions
ate increase Is reported. This fact, added
to the detection of the democratic vote
In many sections of the state, heretofore
democratic strongholds, are doubtless re.
sponsible for the astounding republican
pluralities. The feeling engendered al
the Springfield convention, and continued
at st. Louis, was never sti1ed.

A DOUBLY FOOLISH MAN.
He Bet His Home on the Result OF
the EelectiOn and Suicided
When He Lost.

Mt. Carroll, ILL.,, Nov. civilian
Mayer, a resident and property owner
of this city. left his home early
Wednesday morning to secure con-
firmatory new of the election. Fe had
heard that Roosevelt was probably
elected Tuesday night.
He did not return when expected;
search was made for him, He was
found dead, hanging in his stable. In
his pocket was a memorandum of a
wager in which he staked his home
against equally valuable property on
the election Of Parker.
The fact that Mayer had wagercd 50
heavily on the election was not known
generally, and his family hal no idea
that he had reason to take the result
so seriously.

COLORADO.

Denver, Col, Nov. 9.-Estimates this
morning from scattering and incomplete
for Roosevelt in Colorado. The result as
to congressman and state officers is in
doubt, owing to the large number of
scratched ballots that have not been
counted.
In 1870 precincts outside of Denver Pea
body received 10,06S votes. and Adams TO-
053. The scratched ballots in the entire
state are estimated at over 40, 900.
Scratched ballots in Denver which have
been counted run in favor of Adams in
the ratio of about two to one. Thus the
democrats claim that Adams is elected
governor by from 1000 to 5000 plurality,
with a probability that the remainder
of the democratic state ticket is also
elected.

Thu democrats attacked the tax legis-

MASSACHUSETTS,.

Boston, Nov. 9.-The republicans are
absolutely TUNED by the sweeping ma
jority given William L.. Douglas, of
Brockton, for governor. Gov. Bates ran
behind Roosevelt in every town and city,
East Boston. His plurality of 1881 over
Col. w. A.. CASTOR a year ago is turned
into a plurality of from rs, 900 to 30, 900 for
Douglas.
The republicans elected the rest of
the state ticket, at least ten to fourteen
congressman, and a large majority of the
legislature.
The democrats elected, besides their
candidate for governor, at least three
congressman. Roosevelt's plurality will
be rs, 900 or 100000, as against 1869 for
Mckinley in 1900.

A PHENOMENAL PLURALITY
Illinois Was Carried For Roosevelt

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Roosevelt has

second greatest advantage in the vote
Of all the states. Deneen for gov
n is only a little behind him.
Counties which have been democratic
by thousands of votes since their or
ganization went for Roosevelt, al
though q few Of them stuck to Stringer
for governor. The legislature is hope
lessly republican, and but two, and
possibly. one, democratic congressman
are left in the state.

Chairman Hanna of the republican COM

doubtedly gone republican.
Official returns from the counties are
still meager. and the result is close. In

cratic party in that city aud that the
Parke plurality would be great enough
TO overcome any vote that could be polled
above the Bronx. Judge Parker ran but
400 votes, in round numbers, ahead Of
William Jennings Bryan, who carried this
city by 5000 in 1900. Herrick received a
plurality OF $1,000 in New York city, and,
although Higgins was cut severely above
the Bronx, the tremendous Roosevelt
swing carried him in.
The upstate counties, particularly those
in the western part of the state, gave
unprecedented republican pluralities, Erie
county went for Roosevelt by 1850, but
a v Higgins only 1890. Four years ago
Erie county a W Mckinley 4,934 plurality.
Albany county, where Judge Herrick
lives, gave Higgins 1900 plurality.
In New York city the disaffection of
the democratic vote extended through
the entire ticket to assemblymen. On the
east side of New York several Tammany
candidates for the assembly were beaten,
and Senator Plunkett, On the west side,
went down in a heap.
The republicans hold the legislature by
an increased majority.
They will probably nave 100 out of the
$50 assemblymen, and so of the so sen
ators. A republican will be elected sem
ator to succeed Depew.

Marion county, Fairbanks home, which

Roosevelt a majority of q, 900.
Democrats charge that thousands of
votes were bought by the republicans and
that $4,000 was spent here. Various plans
were used to defeat the Australian ballot
system. One of them was a peculiar way
of folding the ballot.
The hardest fight is on the legislature,
which elects two United States senators.
The republicans are claiming The legis-
lature by so on joint ballot.
Republicans also claim a gain of one
congressman--Newton w. Gilbert-in the

tee say that James M. Robinson, demo-
crat, has been defeated. His plurality in
