I. r. Wins Illinois:
State Democratic

CHICAGO. Nov. 6-Roosevelt and
johnson were winners in Illinois. With
this exception, the entire Democratic
ticket swept the state. In Cook county
including Chicago-the Democrats
won after one of the hardest fights ever
known here. Maclay Hoyne, Democrat,
candidate for states attorney was
elected after a neck land neck race with
William A. Guinea, Socialist, who ear
ly in the count had lead over the field.
Peter Bartsen, president of the county
board, against whom one of the most
spectacular fights Chicago has ever
seen was waged, emerged successful
and was re- elected.
In the state at large, Roosevelt's
strength was less than had been ex-
pected. His early lead, which was in
dicated at 10000. dwindled as the count
came in until it amounted to only 80, =
900. 1t was expected that late returns
from the southern sections might re-
duce 1t still more. Bull Moose leaders
in Chicago said there was no danger
that the late down state vote would
change the returns.
Edward +. Dunno, Democratic can
didate for governor. won with the other
members of his ticket. Frank H. Funk.
Progressive, made a great race against
Dunno in the state, outside Chicago,
displaying strength that surprised his
own hackers.

Now that the truly loyal have denied
their derbies with tossing them in the
air, now that the shouting is over and
the bets paid, those valiant captains
who helped carry the banner of Wood

day to consider the most momentous
question which Southern Democracy
has faced in exactly twenty years
What do l get?"
There is a large and juicy pie TO cut

new administration has about 100 pres

neyships, one job as collector of inter

places TO give those faithful ones who

Michigan Still
Reported in Doubt

DETROIT. Nov. 6.-This morning
Michigan still is in doubt. Returns are
slower both in the city and up-s state
than in many years. owing to the got-
ing for constitutional amendments.
Roosevelt's margin over Wilson now
is not more than 1000. Taft is a very
poor third. So few districts are in that
these relative positions may be changed
within few hours. The most certain
thing seems to be the election Of
Woodbridge n Ferris, Democratic
candidate for governor.
Edward Frenzdorf, Democrat, ap-
pears to have been elected congress

Wilson's Victory
Truly National.

President elect Wilson's victory was
truly national. He did not draw his
strength from any particular section Of
the country, but East and West, North
and South united in giving the national
Democratic ticket the greatest sweep in
the history of American politics.
The sixty third congress will be en-
tirely Democratic and President elect
Wilson will have the full force OF both
legislative branches of the government
behind him to back up his demands on
congress.
