consequently has had to provide for
herself and the children by her own
efforts, she says.
Mrs. Tracy asks also for mainten-
ance. The children, she says, are old
enough to make their own choice. and
she consequently asks for no order
of custody.
Mrs. Tracy is known as one of the
ablest amateur actresses in st. Louis

Governor Wilson is Calm

the election returns began to come in
earlier than was anticipated.

were favorable and his comment was:
That's very encouraging"
The returns that continued to come

and Vermont, but the Taft pluralities
dwindled as midnight approached to a
very few hundred votes in each state
and seemed likely to be wiped out en-
tirely.
The vote in Utah, as reflected in the
dispatches up to midnight, gave indica-
tions that that state might be carried
for Taft. ...
Pennsylvania Vote Close.
The vote in Pennsylvania was amaz-
ingly close, the returns from more than
a thousand precincts, embracing over
$4,000 votes, giving each of the three
leading presidential candidates more
than $4,000 votes. President Taft's
lead in Philadelphia districts was offset
by the heavy vote polled by Roosevelt
and Wilson in other parts of the state.
Many surprises were shown in the
returns.
New York Assembly Democratic.
The New York state assembly
seemed to be overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic.
In Illinois indications were that

date for governor, had won, notwith-

ton of Woodrow Wilson to the presi-
dency and Thomas R. Marshall to the
vice presidency assured by the earlier
returns the reports Indicate that the
electoral vote of the Democratic candi-
dates pass the 800 mark.
The size Of the popular majority
given the Democratic national ticket
in the states outside o. Illinois might
give electoral votes to either Taft or
Roosevelt were matters of conjecture.
Illinois May Go to Roosevelt.
1t was certain, however, that Illinois
would give an overwhelming majority
to Roosevelt, while the race in Pennsyl-
vania was so close as to FIRING all three
candidates within range of success.
Early returns gave Governor Will
son and Governor Marshall the solid
South and the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New York. West Vir-
ginia, Indiana and Missouri.
AS the time advanced and returns
from the West began to come in, these
earlier estimates were confirmed and
Montana, New Jersey and New Next
co were added to those that seemed
certain for the Democratic candidates,
while scattering returns from San
Francisco and Los Angeles made it
probable that California might join the
Wilson-Marshall column.
Rhode Island Doubtful.
Rhode Island also became a doubtful
state on the returns near midnight and
based on the later votes reported, it
seemed not wholly impossible that it's
five electoral votes would go to VIII
son. The early returns gave an appar-
ent victory to Taft in New Hampshire

in from Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New York all favored Governor
Wilson, and the party about the din
ner table showed it's pleasure.
The governor was not over-conh-
dent. When shown the returns from
New York city he smiled.
I'm supposed to carry the city by
8 to / in order to win the state" be
said, as he continued his dinner leis
urely.
Responding later to telegram from
Democratic National Chairman Nc
Coombs, asserting that Governor VIII
son unquestionably was elected, the
Democratic candidate sent a dispatch
as follows:
81 deeply appreciate your telegram
and wish to extend to you and the
members of the campaign committee
my warm congratulations on the part
you have played in the organization
and conduct of campaign fought out
upon essential issues.

In hand"
Democrat Senate Doubtful
New York, Nov. 6.-Indications con-
tanned in early and incomplete returns
are that the Democrats will make
gains in the United States senate, but
whether these gains will be sufficient
to change the political complexion OF
the senate is undetermined.
1t appears likely that Democrat
will succeed a Republican, and while
Progressive leaders n Colorado would
not concede it, there appeared from
the Wilson gains, indicated in early
returns, possibility that two Demo
cratic senators will be returned from
the state

Taft Issued Statement
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. president
Taft st IL o'clock last night conceded
the election Of Governor Wilson. He
issued the following statement from
his brothers home here:
THE returns insure the election Of
Governor Wilson to the presidency.
This means an early change in the
economic policy of the government in
reference to the tariff. If this change
can be made without hating prosper
ity, / sincerely hope It may be.
Third Party Vote a Warming.
THE vote for Mr.. Roosevelt, the
third party candidate and for Mr..
Debs, the Socialist candidate, is a
warning that their propaganda in
favor of fundamental changes in our
constitutional representative govern
ment has formidable support.
While the experiment of a change
in the tariff is being carried out by
the Democratic administration it be-
hooves Republicans to gather again
to the party standard and pledge
anew their faith in their party's prin-
ciples and to organize again to de-
fend the constitutional government
handed down to us by our fathers.

BURKE FOR CABINET.
N. D. Governor in Line for Office OF
Secretary of Interior.

Fargo, ~ D., Nov 6.-The election
of Wilson as president of the United
States is generally thought in North
Dakota to mean the selection of
Democratic governor and Burke as
secretary of the interior Burke was
three times elected governor Of North
Dakota despite an overwhelming vic
tory of the Republicans for the rest
of the state offices.
He was doomed for the presidency
early last summer and given the del
egation from this state to place him
in position for the vice presiden-
tial nomination. AT Baltimore the
exigercies of the occasion were such
that it was deemed best to name Mar
shall for Wilson's running mate, but
an understanding was reported to
have been reached at that time by
which Burke would be named for a
cabinet position, preferably secretary
of the interior. This position is of
more interest to Western people than
any other place in the cabinet and
Burke is regarded as better fitted
for it than for any of the other places.
