New York, Nov. 6.-Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey and Thomas r.
Marshall of Indiana, Democratic nomi-
nees for president and vice-president,
were swept into Office by the most
overwhelming victory in the political
history of the country Their plurality
in the electoral college will be ITS.
The Democratic candidates have
certainly carried 20 Of the 48 states
and will probably carry several more
in which the result has not yet been
definitely determined
Republicans In Third Place.
The Republican party was sent down
to third place in many states by the
great vote that was cast for Roosevelt
and Johnson, the Progressive nomi-
nees. But four or five states were left
to President Taft, who four years ago
carried 80.
Although his popular vote is not as
great by two million as the combined
vote of the Republ can and Progress
sive parties, Mr.. Wilson has thus come
as near to capturing the entire cleo
toral college as 1t will probably ever
be given to a presidential candidate to
90. The Progressive vote, while great
In many states, did not approximate
the landslide which the Progressive
leaders predicted The result shows
that the Democratic party gave few
votes to Roosevelt.
Indications are that the present
Democratic majority of 81 in the house
Of Representatives will go to 100.
u. s. Senate Is Democratic.
The complexion of the next United
States senate will probably be changed
from Republican majority of seven
to Democratic majority Of one.
Wilson's greatest triumph came III
the state of New York, where he de-
feated both Taft and Roosevelt and
won the As electoral votes Of the EN-
pire state with ease.
This proved a double defeat for Col
onel Roosevelt, however for the for
mer presidents home state again re-
pudiated him and he ran third to Pres
ldent Taft. Wilson polled in New
York a smaller vote than did Bryan in
1908, but his plurality is placed at
10000.
Roosevelt carried Illinois by 100000
but Edward F. Dunno, the Democratic
nominee for governor, was elected by
As, 900.
Uncle Joe Cannon, ex-speaker of the
house of representatives, was defeated
for congress In the Danville district Of
Illinois. He has been In congress since
1879 and has been defeated only once
before-in 1890
Roosevelt ran second in Georgia,
South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennes-
see, and strong in number of other
southern states.
Wilson Carries CoIoneI's County.
Wilson carried Nassau, Rooseve1t's
home county, the colonel running sec
ond
Syracuse went Democratic for the
first time in national election
Taft's vote in New York state was
cut squarely In two.
Massachusetts, gave the Democratic
ticket it's electoral vote for the first
time In history.
Wilson swept Indiana by 10000,
while Ralston, Democratic nominee
for governor, swamped former Senator
Albert T. Beverage, the Progressive
candidate, by 100000
Wilson carried Ohio by more than
100000 plurality. James M. Cox was
elected governor by an overwhelming
plurality and the entire state Demo
cratic ticket was elected Both
branches of the legislature will be
Democratic and only two Republican
congressman, Longworth in the First
and Willis in the eighth, were elected.
Democrats Win New Jersey.
Governor Wilson carried his own
state Of New Jersey by an estimated
plurality of $4,000 and swept into Of
fee a state legislative body which is
Overwhelmingly Democratic.
William Hughes, Wilson's choice for
congress, was elected over Frank j..
| Briggs.
Meager returns received from wide
ly scattered districts by II o'clock
were sufficient to show that success
had been certain and substantial.
The legislative returns indicate the
election of Judge William Hughes to
the United States senate.
Connecticut for Wilson.
An avalanche of Democratic votes
in Connecticut swept into office the en-.
tire state ticket of that party and gave
Woodrow Wilson the handsome plu-
rality of over 5000 votes.
Governor Baldwin ran about 1000
votes ahead Of Governor Wilson.
Roosevelt polled about 10000 votes
in the state. The colonel ran far
ahead of his ticket, Herbert Knox
Smith, former commissioner of cor
porations under President Taft and
now candidate for governor, coming
the closest to him with $4,000 at the
same hour
In the five congressional districts
only one is doubtful.
Dixon Admits Defeat.
Official admission of the defeat of
the Bull Moose" candidates for presi-
dent and vice president was made to-
day by Senator Joseph M. Dixon,
chairman of the national Progressive
committee.
Mr.. Dixon stated, however, that the
fight had only begun and that the
Bull Moosers' would maintain perma-
nent headquarters during the next four
years and would again endeayor to
