More complete returns than those
available when the last issue of the
Democrat was published have only
gone to swell the overwhelming vic
tory Of the democratic party in the
county, state and nation.
Nation Democratic.
In the nation, Wilson has surely
carried 80 of the 48 states, with bet
ter than an even chance of making it
an even forty. Californa is the only
state now in doubt. According to un-
official returns this morning, Roose-
welt was I'll votes ahead of Wilson
in that state, but democratic leaders
contend that the official count will
change this into a democratic victory.
Such being the case, Wilson's total
vote in the electoral college will be
442, out of total of 531. Roosevelt
has surely carried five states, as fol-
lows: Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsyl-
vania, South Dakota and Washington,
with total of " electoral votes. Taft
has carried Utah, Vermont and Idaho,
with total of IL electoral votes.
!, Later returns indicate that Taft may
yet lose Idaho, in which event Will
sons total vote will be swelled to
446 and Taft's reduced to 8.
President Is Third.
Wilson will have popular majority
over Roosevelt of approximately two
million and Teddy has defeated Taft
by approximately one million votes.
Congress Democratic.
| The democrats will have a majority
of $50 votes in the lower branch of
CONGRESS- and WILL also have a majority
in the United States senate. Fifty out
of SO senators will surely be demo
cratic, and this number may be in.
creased, as the result in Illinois, where
two senators are to be elected, is yet
in doubt on senator.
| All Safe in Montana.
Every candidate on the state demo
cratic ticket has been elected by plu
ralities ranging from three to ten
thousand Unofficial returns, which
include about Is per cent of the votes

Wilson and Walsh Lead.
II Indications are that Wilson ant
Walsh, candidates for president ant
United States senator, respectively
will have pluralities over Roosevelt,
and Dixon Of from ten to twelve thou
sand. Stout's plurality will be in thu
neighborhood of five thousand ant
Evans about four thousand. Stewart
candidate for governor, and the othel
state candidates will have pluralitie.
of from three to five thousand. Prof
H. A. Davee, candidate for superin
tendent of schools, has plurality 0
about four thousand.
AS additional returns are received

by the democratic candidates in Fer
gus county are confirmed, the onl,
; change being to make the democratic
lead a little stronger in most In
stances. Wilson will have between
300 and 400 over Roosevelt, while tn
; latter will have about the same lea,
over Taft. For senator, Walsh will
have at least 500 over Dixon, progress
sive, and the latter will lead Smith

have more than 700 over Dixon, pro
, Igressive, with Pray, republican. re
ceiving about as heavy vote a.
Dixon. Evans is sure of around 50
over Dixon and about a thousand owe
} Allen. For governor, Stewart, demo
crat, will beat Edwards, progressive
in this county by between 300 ant
400, and the rest of the democratic
candidates on the state ticket will viii
out by about the same lead, excep
Davee, who will lead Tower, progres
sive, by full thousand votes. TIL
socialist vote in the county will max

will get about $50, as he is leading

light on the referendum measures an
