RETURNS FRoM STATES.
The Sweeping Gnins of the Republican,
 Ticket.

I1cAAeAs 55Fss 8s98
 New York, Nov. 8,Theodore Roose- velt's plurality in this, his native state, is second only to McKinley's 26S,000 in 1896. It exceeds McKinley,s in 1900 by about 41,50O. The late returns show that there were cast for him in New York state about 1S5,00O votes more votes than for Parker. Not only was his vote heavy in the country districts wheret he republican strongholds are, but in Greater New York, traditional ly democratic. he ran much closer to Parker than had been expected, even by his own campaign managers. It had been estimated that he came down to the Bronx with better than 140,Q00 plu- .rality, but the figures tonight showed that this forecast would be exceeded by approximately S5,000. In the city hopes that their candidate would have from 14O, 900 to 150,O0O more than Roose- yelt. but in this they were disappoint- ed by more than 100000, So over- whelming was the republican vote that the result was known positively early inIthe evening. The earliest counties to report made it clear that the Parker vote, everywhere fell below Bryarl's in practically all of the upstate districts. Tn Greater New York Parker's plural-5 ity was from 12,0OO to 14,000 larger. than Bryan's, but in the state, accord- ing to late reports his total vote fell 16,0O0 short Q. Bryan's.
 The small plurality for Parker in New York city caused great astonish-. ment, the lowest preliminary ante-elec-6 stion estimates having figured that he would go to the Bronx with 100000 or more. When reports came in showing that he would lead Roosevelt by only 10000 they were received with amaze ment. The Parker plurality in the city was s, 900 less than was given Herrick, democrat, for governor. In Brooklyn the republican managers thought that Parker might lead Roosevelt, but re-. ports from all but thirty-seven districts give Roosevelt 424 plurality. His total vote fell 16,000 short of Bryan's.
 There was q great surprise in the proportions of the vote Higgins, repub-5 lican, for governor, he reunning far ahead of the Odell vote in the counties and winning by about S5,oOO His plu-. rality above the Bronx was probably l6e,000, while Herrick's in the Greater New York aggregated about 75,000 Herrick did not carry Albany, his home county, nor did Parker carry Ulster, in which he lives,

 1900. The result of to-day's ballot
 was astounding even to the most
 guine of the republican managers.

 Rres which followed the closing of

 uan four years ago. It is practically tain that the republican national ket has carried every state in the lon outside of the, so-called solid tth. s
 ks a dramatic climax to the sensa- hal naajorities given him, came Pres Int Roosevelt's formal announcement At he would not be a candidate for election, lending the only exciting beet to an election night otherwise 'one-sided that it was impossible for en the vietors to attain that degree
 enthusiasm that usually marks the fasjon.
 Late in the night came an announce snt from Melville N Pallistef. man. er of the campaign for Thomas E. atson, the candidate of the peoples rty, that as the result of the over telIning democratic defeat steps iuld be taken to form a new party.
 this end, according to the announces Int given out, MT. Bryan, MT. EiSAts h and William R. Hearst would hold conference i1l New York in about a bek's time.
 In no election in recent years has the suit been definitely known so soon. ardly had the sun gone down when e results in New York began to ap- ar. Bulletin followed bulletin, each owing large republican gains, and by o'clock it was evident that the great lpire state had given the republican a majority beyond the pre- ,tions of the party managers. So nvincing was the story of the bulle- IS that at half past seven August lmont at democratic headquarters needed Roosevelt's election by an majority, and half an UT later the democratic leaders who d managed the campaign freely ad- tied that the republicans had carried cry doubtful state. There was no dis sition to hope against hope.

Public Roads.

In your Issue Of November " YOU
state that The s.. " r%sinvill@ Reuao-
sa:s. HAT l,.@ 800
parish has adopted 3 CIV t~iA Of
working the public roads as follows:
The contract is to be sold at auction
to q contractor, the maximum price to
be paid is $4,O00.OO a year. The con-
tractor is to furnish 8 mules, one road
roller and one road pillow. He is to
have three men besides himself at
work from Monday to Saturday. He
is to make . caily report of the work
done to the secretary of the Police
Jury. The ordinance provides that
the contractor is to pay q forfeit of
Sl2. 90 per day for every day in the
year that he and his crews fail to
report for work.
After I had read the publication /
handed it to two of DUR most prOmi-
nent business men who happened to
he present and asked them what they
thought about it? They said they
hardly knew what to think about it.
They said it certainly was a move in
the right direction. They asked me
what 1 thought about it? told them
Gat l disapproved of it very much.
That 1 thought it was q much poorer
system for working the roads than
our present system. if possible. They
looked at me not a little surprised as
l had always been such a strong adj
vocate of good roads. l told them
that any man who has had any ex-
perience in working public roads
knows that no three men and an over
seer who is not supposed to work can
with 8 mules. a pillow, scraper and
roller ran possibly work more than
one gang of men to any advantage,
for it requires four men and six mules
to make one full gang, and 8 men and
twelve mules to make two gangs to
: work the roads probably.
But according to the st. Martin
, ordinance one road gang OF four mer
. would have to work all the roads II

!, people that live in it that the cross

otherwise the parish would lose NOR

for four men and teams to work y

have large boards, small cities and
towns have small boards to suit their
circumstances. For example Lafa-
yette has a board of works (called by
a different nancy composed OF two Of
three Of its councillors and the mayor
for it's head.
Every important organization must
have q head or it never prosper.
The chief Overseer of the parish would
be the head of the board Of works. 1t
would be his duty to call the board
together at least twice a year and not
oftener than ono in three months ex-
cept in case of Emergency can he call
a special meeting of the board. 1t
would be his duty to make out a full
report of the proceedings of each
meeting of the board and present it to
the police jury at its first regular
session after the meeting of the board.
For further particulas in reference
to his duties see Advertiser March
the ninth and April the thirteenth. II
the above system Of q board Of works
that l have suggested is adopted and
judiciou:ly carried out it will not
cost the parish any more than our
present system of working the reads,
and It will be far more efficient.
There is no subject more worthy ~
consideration and attention of Oul
police jury than that of having
better system of taxation and of work
ing our public roads.
