JORITY.

Theodore Roosevelt has been elect
ed president of the United States by
q record-breaking plurality of more
than 100000. With Missouri and
probably Maryland in the Republican
column, he will have 343 electoral
votes as against 1873 for Alton B. Park
er. The nearest approach to this vote
was in 1896. when William Mckinley
received plurality approximating
$4,000, and in 1872, when Grant re-
ceived 762,991 plurality. Grant ex-
ceeded in electoral record in defeat
ing Horace Greeley.
AS a dramatic climax to the sensa-
tional majorities given him, came
President Roosevelt's formal an
nouncement that he would not be a
candidate for reelection.
The interest now centers in Mary
land, where the vote is exceedingly
close. The first estimates placed it in
the Republican column by small plu-
rality, but later returns have greatly
decreased this plurality and it may go
