New York. Nov. Woodrow VIII
son, governor of New Jersey. was
swept into the presidency of the Unit
ed States In Tuesdays election, with
Governor Thomas r. Marshall, his
running mate for the vice presidency,
on q Democratic tidal wave.
Thirty-eight of the forty-eight states
of the Union are in the Democratic
column, the house Of representatives
in the next congress Is assured to
that party by majority OF probably
more than 100, and the Democrats will
have SO out of the 98 United States
senators after March A, 1913, clear
control of every department Of the
federal government
Many staunch old-line Republican
states were among those captured by
Wilson and Marshall, and the thirty
seven states credited to him give him
800 of the 531 electoral votes. The
victory Is only comparable to that In
1872 of u. s. Grant over Horace Gree
ley, when Grant received 286 cleo
toral votes and Greeley SO.
OF the ten states which rejected
Wilson, six, with an electoral vote
Of 104, were credited to Colonel Roose-
Welt, the Progressive nominee, and
four, with only Is electoral votes,
were credited to President Taft, the
Republican nominee for reelection.
Some of the states placed on this
lineup were very close and may be
changed by more complete returns.
Included among these were Iowa and
South Dakota, believed to be for Col
onel Roosevelt; Minnesota and New
Hampshire. classed as Wilson states,
and Wyoming, which probably has
gone for Taft.
Pennsylvania went TO Roosevelt by
a plurality of $4,000. The city Of Phil
adelphla gave Taft a plurality OF H.
300, and II was a close race between
the president and Wilson for second
place in the state.
Governor Wilson has carried Maine,
Massachusetts, Connecticut. New Jer-
sey, New York. Ohio, Indiana. Wiscon-
sin. Kentucky, Maryland. Tennessee.
Nebraska, and Oregon, all the south
ern states. and has probably carried
Missouri, Iowa and the Dakotas.
New Mexico, which the Progressives
thought was sure for Roosevelt, has
been carried by Wilson. California Is
safely for Roosevelt, but in North Da-
kota, which the Democrats thought
was safe for Wilson, seems to be
about equally divided between Taft
ana Roosevelt.
Wilson has carried Missouri by TO-
900 Major has been elected Demo
cratic governor The returns also show
that both the upper and lower branch
IS of the Missouri legislature will be
controlled by the Democrats.
In California one of the interesting
features of election day was the part
presidential election, In Los Angeles
the vote of the women was extraordi-
narily heavy and was heavily Progress
sive. In San Francisco there were
many women clerks of election, and in
one district eighty women did picket
duty to prevent the election OF Wolff
for state senator and the constitu-
Nithot thC AC-
establishment of race tracks, which
Wolff espoused.
The returns from Louisiana have
brought sore disappointment to the
Yrogressives of that state. The strong
anticipated anti-Roosevent sentiment
seems to have eaten into normal DEM
sJratlc pluralities by less than 10 per
cent. In many parts of the state Debs
ran ahead of Taft.
In Indiana the Democratic governor
is elected, Beveridge has been de-
feated and the legislature is Demo-
cratic.
Roosevelt carried Michigan by from
$4,000 to 100000. Ferris, Democrat, for
governor. was elected by $4,000 plu-
rality
In all the states where Roosevelt
and the Progressive candidates for
governor have run second to Wilson
and the Democratic candidates for
governor the Progressive party will
have control of the election machinery
over the Republicans beginning with
next years municipal campaigns. This
control will extend to 1914 In the state
elections for governor and members Of
the legislature.
In New York state, In all counties
where Oscar Straus. the Progressive
candidate for governor. has run sec
ond to William Sulzer, the Progress
sives will have control of the election
