WILSON NEXT
PRESIDENT
DEMOCRATS SWEEP COUNTRY
AND WILL CONTROL SENATE
AND HOUSE IN SIXTY-THlRD
CONGRESS.

AND HOUSE IN sIxTY-THIRD
CONGRESS.
AS was predicted Wilson and his
host of followers in the democratic
ranks practically swept the entire
country last Tuesday Wilson will
have about 400 electoral votes,
Roosevelt III, and Taft II.
The republican party is all shat
tered to pieces, and it is doubtful
whether it will ever again show the
strength of former days. Roosevelt,
considering the short period of the
new progressive party, carried
number of the largest states, notab-
ly Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa, Michi-
gan, Kansas He also carried Wash
ingtOn and South Dakota. Taft ear
ried three of the smallest states,
Utah, Vermont and Idaho. ALL of the
other states appear safe for the
democratic candidate.
California proved a surprise to
many, as it was generally conceded
that Roosevelt and Johnson would
carry the state. Roosevelt's plu
railty in the southern portion of the
state was overcome by the northern
democratic vote, and Wilson has
probably carried the state by about
$4,000
i'm Arizona Wilson has carried the
state by a majority estimated at over
5000. Carl Hayden, democratic cong
ressman, is elected by over 5000.
Woman's suffrage has won out by a
vote of nearly 2 to l. All of the am
endments have carried by safe ma
jorities.
The next president will have the
support of a house of representatives
even more strongly democratic than
the last, and returns from those state
which senators will be chosen by the
legislatures elected yesterday make
certain that the next congress will
be democratic in both branches.
Latest Returns.
Since the foregoing was put i'm
type it appears that California may
give Roosevelt small plurality
while Illinois is doubtful, and Kansas
very probable for Wilson. The re-
suit in Idaho is also in doubt, but
Roosevelt is running neck and neck
with Taft
The California progressives have
overwhelming majorities in both
houses of the state legislature
The Results in Parker.
