WILSON WINNER
BY Big MARGIN

New York. Nov. 6.-woodrow Wilson, Of
New Jersey, and Thomas r. Marshall,
of Indiana, Democratic nominees for
President and Vice President, were to-day
swept into ofiice by the most overwhelm-
ing victory In the political history Of the
country. Their plurality In the electoral
didates have carried twenty-five Of the
forty-eight States. and will probably
carry several more. In which the result
has not yet been definitely determined.
Although his popular vote Is not as
great by two million as the combined
vote Of the Republican and Progressive
parties, Mr.. Wilson has thus come as
near to capturing the entire electoral
college as It will probably ever be given
to a Presidential candidate to do. 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
Majority In the House.

standpoint Of a party experience In the

Gov. Wilson, and the strength Of the
