The New York State LEGISLATURE
will be Overwhelmingly Democratic
fer the second time Other lesisla-
lures, whose function ii will be this
year to elect United States Senators,
viii be Democratic The House Of
Representatives will be Democratic by
something like las members
Dispatches from Georgia. from
South Carolina, Tennessee and other
States In the South stated that Gov
ernor Wilson would not only have the
solid South behind him. but that he
would carry it apparently by a greater
majority than even that by which Mr.
Bryan had carried IT.
Maryland was early claimed hy the
Wilson men. Republicans conceded Il
to.them
II is certain that New Jersey and
Tennessee have elected Democratic
legislatures, and will send Democrats
TO reduce the Republican majority of
nine In the Senate.
Here are some of the astonishing
incidents that attended the great Viii
son victory and the crushing defeat
of the regular Republican candidate:
Wilson polled in New York small
er vote than did Bryan in 1905
Roosevelt carried Illinois by leo .O0Q.
but Edward F. Dunno. the Democratic
nominee for Governor. was elected by
Is, 600.
Roosevelt ran second in Georgia
South Carolina. Kentucky and Ten.
pessee, and strong IN a number OF
other Southern States.
John d. Roekefellers township. Mt
Pleasant, went for Wilson.
Wilson carried Nassau. ROOSEVELT
home county, the Colonel running sec
ond.
Syracuse went Democratic for the
first time in national election.
Tafts vote in New York State was
cut sQuarely In two.
Massachusetts gave the Democratic
time In it's history.
Wilson swept Indiana by $4,000,
while Ralston, Democratic nominee
for Governor. swamped former Sena-
tor Albert J Beveridge, the Progress
i've candidate. by 100000
Although his popular vote Ia not as
great by two million as the com
bined vote OF the Republican and Pro
gressive parties, Mr. Wilson has thus
come as near to capturing the entire
Electoral College as 1t will probably
ever be given TO Presidential eandi-
date 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 10 Roosevelt.
