The legislature will be about IS per

The foregoing statement was made
by National Committeeman Kennedy
at midnight. 1t is thought to be a
conservative one and agrees not only
with returns received at state COM

dependent sources in this city.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov Although
the reports received up to late hour
from the election in South Dakota
were OF somewhat meager character
they were sufficient to make it certain
that the Republicans had made practi-

have carried the state for the National
and state tickets and have elected
Chas. P. Burk and Eban W. Martin
their nominees for congress-.
Robert Vessey, Republican nominee
for governor. who timid Republicans
feared would be beaten by A. E. Lee,
the nominee of the Democrats, showed
surprising strength and will have .
majority of not less than $1,000 or
10000 over Lee in the state.
The fact that Wesley carried Lees
home city OF Vermillion by vote Of
156 to 105 was one OF the surprises of
the day. 1t is estimated that Clay
county, of which Vermillion Is the
county seat, will give Vessey q ma
jority of 500.

far as shown by reports received up
to a late hour is Lincoln county,
which gives Taft majority of about
1000, with Wesley only about 100
votes behind.
Minnehaha county, the center of the
fight against Mr.. Vessey will give
Wesley a majority over Lee of from
800 to 500. While only scattering

national and state tickts have gained
complete victory in Illinois, although
the pluralities will probably fall short
of those obtained by the party in the
Roosevelt campaign OF 1904 Taft

some time today or Thursday before
the exact figures can be obtained.
Charles s. Deneen, the Republican
candidate for governor, ran far be-
hind the national ticket. but has been
elected by plurality of about 100000
over Adlai E. Stevenson, his Demo.
cratic opponent. Dement'S greatest
losses were suffered in Cook county
which Is his home The telling against
him was strong in Chicago and he was
heavily scratched.
Chicago and Cook county gave 9
