WILSON HAS LARGE
PLURALITY IN OHIO
Carries Presidents Home State
by Big Margin.

Cincinnati, Nov. 7.-Wjlson swept
Ohio by plurality roughly estimated
at 100000 over President Taft.
James M. Cox was elected governor
by a plurality as large if not larger
than Wilson and the entire Demo.
cratic state ticket went through with
him, although with lower pluralities.
Returns indicated that General R. B
Brown, Republican nominee for gov.
ernor, would be second and Arthur L.
Garford, bull moose nominee, third.
The Democratic landslide, it is be.
lieved, gave two and possibly three
congressman to the Democrats, who
already had sixteen.
1t appears that Wilson polled fully
as many votes as Bryan did four years
ago, when Bryan had $4,000. Not
only was Wilson strong in the rural
districts, but he ran especially we'll in
the industrial centers, where it was
expected the Socialists and Roosevelt
would cut into the normal Democratic
strength.

New York, Nov. 7.-Overturning big
Republican majorities in states never
before captured by the Democrats in
presidential election, the Wilson
Marshall presidential ticket was swept
into office on the wave of a victory
that carried with it state offices, con-
gressional seats and the control of
number of legislatures that will have
the opportunity to oust Republicans
from the United States senate and add
to the Democratic strength in that
body.
Second only in interest to the over
whelming victory Of Governor Wilson
and his running mate, Governor Mar
shall Of Indiana, was the strength
shown by Colonel Roosevelt in Illinois,
Pennsylvania and other states. On re-
turns from states where the result was
reasonably certain it appeared that
Governor Wilson would have almost,
II not quite, 400 of the 531 votes in
the electoral college and that Colonel
Roosevelt would have nearly 100.
President Taft had received twelve
votes, those of Vermont, Idaho and
Utah, while the forty-seven votes of
Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
South Dakota and Wyoming remained
In the doubtful column.
The change in the, doubtful states,
according to later returns, give Mr..
Taft four more electoral votes from
Idaho and Mr.. Wilson an equal num-
ber Of electoral votes from New
Hampshire.
While the apparent Roosevelt plural
tiles are diminishing in Iowa and Illi-
nois the situation in Pennsylvania still
shows some uncertainty. but with
very strong probabilities that the state
has been carried for Roosevelt by a
plurality approximating 10000.
In the twenty-nine states electing
governors the Democrats not only
maintained their own, according to
late returns, but overthrow majorities
In three states, Illinois, Missouri and
Nebraska in which Republicans were
the incumbents. In addition, the cleo
tion of a Democrat to succeer Will.
son in New Jersey was assured, MAX

SOLID SOUTH FOR WILSON
Governor Receives Large Majority in
Every State.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 7.-Governor
Wilson carried the "Solid South" by
the usual majorities, as indicated on
the face of returns. His majorities
approximately were as follows: Texas
100000, Arkansas 10000, Georgia 35,-
600, Florida $4,000, Kentucky 100000
(plurality over Taft, Alabama 10000,
South Carolina $4,000, North Carolina
10000, Mississippi 100000, Louisiana
$4,000, Virginia 10000.
The vote in Florida was light, very
little interest having been displayed in
the contest in comparison with four
years ago. In Texas Roosevelt and
Taft together received total of ap-
proximately $4,000 votes The Social
list vote in Texas was between 5000
and 10000.
Missouri, the mysterious stranger
in the Republican ranks for eight
years, is back in the Democratic line
with a plurality for the Wilson cleo
toral ticket which is estimated to ag-
gregate 100000. OF the sixteen Mis-
souri, congressman to be elected only
two Republicans were returned on the
face of available returns. They were
Richard Bartholdt in the Tenth and
L. c. Dyer in the Twelfth district.

ROOSEVELT CERTAIN
OF PENNSYLVANIA
Has Large Plurality With Re.
turns Incomplete.

Philadelphia, Nov. IA plurality OF
more than $4,000 for Roosevelt in
PENNSYLVANIA is indicated by addition
al returns. More than half the state
has been heard from and there seems
no doubt that his lead will increase
as the missing districts report Phila-
delphia save President Taft plural
ity OF about 10000, with Roosevelt
running second. $4,000 ahead Of Will
son. Governor Wilson ran second in
the state outside of Philadelphia.
The four Republican congressmen-
at-largc in the state were elected.
1t seems probable that the Demo
Gratis have gained two or three con-
gresslnen in the state.

Several SGatS Won
By CemoCrats.
Gig MAJORITY IN HOUSE
Lower Branch Of Congress k'3re
Democratic Than Before.

New York, Nov Tt is still doubt
ful whether the Democrats have sue
ceeded in securing control of the Unit
ed States senate, although a possible
gain of two seats in Colorado All one
in Montana will put them within one
OF majority, With lead of six Re-
publican seats to overcome they are
sure of two, one in Delaware, where a
Democratic legislature will choose the
successor CT Richardson, Republican,
and o..e in New Jersey, where Will
lam Hughes, the Democratic nominee,
is assured OF election. Beyond these
the results are still inconclusve.
In Colorado Democratic claims are
that the two Democratic candidates
for United States senators will be
swept in with the successes Of Wilson
and the state ticket, but this is not
conceded by the opposing managers.
In Illinois the latest indications are
that the legislature will be so close
as between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis that the Progressives and So
cialists will hold the balance of power
in the election OF successors to Cul-
lom and Lorimer, Republicans.
Returns from Montana showed
Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat, in the
lead and probably elected, but this
was not conceded.
The race in Oregon is doubtful, Ben
Selling, Republican, and Harry Lee,
democrat. running neck and neck.
Republican From Bay State.
Massachusetts elected a Republican
legislature to choose the successor of
Crane, Republican,, retired.
Nelson, Republican, is reelected in
Minnesota
Norris, Republican, in Nebraska, is
leading, but by small margin.
Rhode Island elected a Republican
legislature, which will choose the sue
cessor to Wetmore, Republican, re.
tired.
In Wyoming the probable re-elec.
tfon of Warren, Republican, is indi-
Gated
Massey, Republican, the incumbent
of the seat of Nixon, Republican, de-
ceased, is leading in Nevada, and
early indications pointed to his elec-
ton.
The result in Iowa depends upon the
complexion of the assembly, which
may not be determined for several
days. Kenyon, Republican, is the in
cumbent.
The same situation prevails in
South Dakota, where the returns are
still too meager to forecast result.
Early returns from Idaho indicated
the election of a Republican majority
in the state legislature, insuring the
reelection Of Borah, Republican, and
a Republican successor to Hepburn,
deceased.

welt 76, Taft 54
b. S. Hodges lost out to r. F. Krause
in the First commissioner district. Mr..
krause is big farmer of Kentner

being in strong democratic district.
According to the vote in this end of

their stock on their own premises in
Dickey county hereafter. The PROPOSE
ton was submitted to the voters Tues

Result.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 7.-Tlat
Rooseveltian strenuosity and peculi-
arity are taboo with the twenty eighth
president of the United States was
made quite evident at the Woodrow
Wilson bungalow.
While admirers of the president
elect were celebrating far into the
morning and while the members of his
family, early astir, were fluttering
about the house in undisguised &c
stasy, the newly chosen chief execu.
tive was peacefully pounding his ear.
Even the wild rawlings of 1000 col.
lege students, who continued we'll on

the slumbers of the president elect
He was the last member of his family
