ra9orted, it seemed not wholly i'm
probable that its FIVE electoral votes
vsv... go to Wilson. The early re-
turn, gave an apparent victory to
Taft IN New Hampshire and \er-
mont. but the Taft pluralities dwin-
died as midnight approached to a
very few hundred votes in each State
and seemed likely to be wiped out
entirely.
The vote in Utah reported up to
midnight indicated the State might
be carried tor Taft. The vote IN
Pennsylvani& Mas amazingly close,
the returns from over $500 precincts
embracing over lS5 .00Q votes, giving
Wilson a small plurality.
The New York State Assembly
seemed to be overwhelming Demo
cratic.
Indications in Illinois were that
Judge Dunno. the Democratic cand-
date for Governor, had won. Form
er Speaker Cannon seemed to have
been defeated for reelection.
Claims of the Roosevelt managers
that Iowa, Michigan and Kansas
would fall into the Roosevelt column
seemed verified by the partially COM
plete returns at an early hour this
morning.
The uncertainty regarding Ner-
mont was settled by the announce

HOW THE SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS
WILL STAND.

Washington, November 6:-Falr-
ly definite returns from State legis-
lative elections tonight seemed to
show that the Democratic hosts are
moving on toward control of the
United States Senate, though that
was not established as certainty.
That the Democratic party would
control the United States Senate be-
came almost certainty late tonight
when the possible loss of West Vir-
ginia seemed to stand in the way of
success.
Returns up to 8 p. m. indicated
that the political complexion OF the
House of Representatives Of the Six
tv-third Congress will be as follows:

election of Woodrow Wilson to the
Presidency and Thomas R Marshall
to the Vice Presidency assured oy
the earlier returns tonight. the re-
ports up to midnight gave indications
that the electoral vote Of the Demo-
cratic candidates would pass the 300
mark.
4 Il size of the popular majority
give,. the Democratic National tick
ct, or the States outside of Illinois
that might give electoral votes to
eitk,r Taft or Roosevelt, were mat
ters of conjecture at midnight. It
was certain. however, that Illinois
wogAa give an Overwhelming major
ity.to Rooseye,t, while the race in
Pennsylvania was so close as to bring
all three candidates within range OF
success.
- Early returns gave Governor VIII

cut, Delaware, Kentucky, Name,
- Maryland, Massachusetts,, New York,
West Virginia, Indiana and Missouri.
As the night advanced and returns
from the West began to come in,
these earlier estimates were confirm
ed, and Montana, New Jersey and
New Mexico were added to those
that seemed certain for the Demo-
cratic candidates, while scattering
returns from San FrancisO and Los
Angeles made it probable that Cali
fornia might join the Wilson and
Marshall column.

But little definite news from States
of the Pacific West was received, ex-
cept from California. wAere Will

The tabulation Of votes in the 9TH

make predictions impossible.
Both President Taft and Col Roose-

naturally expected, victory for the
Democratic party in every contest.

cast for the Democratic e!ectoral
ticket. an overwhelming majority

than Taft.

In the State election the Demo-
