been elected to the house of repre-
sentatives. The Republicans have
elected their candidate for governor.
Illinois, which showed q strong lean
ing toward Governor Wilson when the
count was resumed, appears to be firm
ly in the Roosevelt column Cook
county gave Mr.. Roosevelt a plurality
Of about $4,000. The returns from the
outlying counties reduced this to less
than 10000, but with 2,S75 precincts
out of 4,2S6 counted Mr. Roosevelt had
plurality of 1910 over Governor
Wilson. The vote then was: RooSe-
welt, 277,639; Wilson, 62,499; Taft,
15S,92S. In LIT precincts outside of
Cook county the returns gave Wilson
III, 1,46S Roosevelt 1OO,231 and Taft -,
BOZ. The same precincts in 1908 gave
Taft 1887 and Bryan 126,452.
] Threaten Roosevelt's Lead In Kansas.
| Mr.. Roosevelt's good lead in Kansas
has been seriously threatened. With
less than a quarter of the precincts in
he has a lead over Governor Wilson Of
A scant 1000. The returns are mostly
! from the city districts, and Mr. RooSe-
welt is expected to forge ahead when

his own state, by more than $4,000.
| Under his leadership the Democrats

for the first time in the history of the
state. He has about 10000 plurality
there, although the Republicans ap-
pear to have carried the state ticket by
a safe majority.
Indiana went for Wilson by pearly
$4,000.
In New Hampshire, which II first
appeared had been barely carried by
Governor Wilson, on the latest returns

Vermont the only New England state
to remain Republican SO far as the
presidential choice was concerned.

Wilson, 17o,995; Taft 152.255; Roose-
velt, 14O,1o2. Governor Foss was re-
elected by nearly $4,000 plurality.

appear that Governor Wilson received
the normal Democratic vote, while
President Taft and Mr. Roosevelt di-
vided the normal Republican vote.
New EnsIand's Loss Unprecedented.
The loss Of New England, barring
Vermont, to the Democrats is without
precedent Maine has elected six Dem
ocratic electors for the first time In the
history of the state. Massachusetts has
managed to save q bare Republican
majority in the legislature, enough to
elect Republican to succeed w. Muir
ray Crane in the senate. Rhode Island
also saved a Republican legislature ma
iority.
Without precedent also was Ohio's re-
lection Of its own son, President Taft.
That most loyal state has gone over
Into the Democratic column with its
twenty-four electoral votes, all OF its
important state offices and all except
two or three representatives.
Minnesota gave Governor Wilson a
plurality Of about 5000, but elected a
Republican state ticket All the south.

Mr.. Roosevelt safely holds that state
