Absolute Doubt Still Prevails
in Several Cases---What
Wires Tell.

More details from yesterdays cleo
tion received today bring several
changes. In some cases republican
majorities have been increased and
in others decreased, revised figures
changing the compilations of num-
Der of states.
In Illinois Deneen's plurality is prob
ably 10000, while Taft carried the
state by at least 10000. New York
gives Taft larger figures but cuts down
those of Hughes. Indiana. while re-
publican on the national ticket, elect
ed the entire state democratic ticket.
Ohio did much the same thing, the
scratching beirg still more marked.
Maryland's majority for Taft dwn-
died away and NOW the state seems
democratic. Minnesota seems to have
reelected Governor Johnson beyond
doubt, but on the other hand Missouri
is now placed on the doubtful list all
the way through, and Wyoming is con.
ceded to Taft, while in Montana the
republicans are leading.

Washington, Nov. president
Roosevelt today gave his interpreta-
tion of the victory of the republican
party at the polls yesterday when he
said to newspaper men whom he re-
ceived in his office:
This administration has meant
steady effort and progress which
should never be allowed to deviate
into unwise radicalism on the one
hand. nor into unwise conservatism
on the other. The nomination of Taft
was a triumph over the reactionary
conservatism and his election was a
triumph over unwisc and improper
radicalism."
