California.
SAN FRANCISCO Nov. 6.--That
Wilson has carried California by from
10000 to $4,000 is indicated by the
latest returns and If the southern
Roosevelt vote continues to dwindle,
there is bare possibility that the
democratic plurality will be more
than $4,000. Chairman Davis of the
democratic state committee, is strong
! ly OF this opinion and as he was in
clined on Tuesday night to claim the
Estate by 10000, even while Los An
seles showing was far better than 1t
| is today, his estimate Is considered
conservative. 1t probably will be to-
night or tomorrow before definite fig-
ures can be obtained
The surprisingly large Wilson vote
| in San Francisco, aided by the plural
tiles in San Diego and Fresno coun-
ties not previously counted upon by
the democrats, were responsible for
the turning down of the Roosevelt
electors. The Taft followers of course
were the main factors. They plump
ed for Wilson all over the state.
South Dakota.
| SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. cit is
claimed by bull moosers today that
Roosevelt has carried South Dakota
by not less than 5000. Republicans
claim Frank M. Byrne has been cleo
! ted governor by at least 5000, while
democrats claim the election of Edwin
s. Johnson, their candidate, by from
/ 1000 to 5000. Returns as yet are far
from complete. Nothing definite as yet
known as to complexion state legisla-
ture, but 1t Is probably republican.
