MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston.-Gov. Wilson's strength in
Boston almost equaled that of Col. Roose-
welt and President Taft combined, the
latter two almost evenly dividing the
vote, received by Taft four years ago.
The Democratic nominee made a slight
gain over the vote given Bryan in 1908.
Complete returns from the city showed:
Roosevelt, 21,54s; Taft, 21,777; Wilson,
42,7O6.
Gov. Foss, the Democratic nominee for
reelection, polled almost as many votes
In Boston as be did last year, despite
the third candidate. His total was 49,.
2s2, against 5o,495 last year. Charles s.
Bird, the Progressive candidate, polled
1917 votes in Boston and Walker, Re-
publican, 1926. The Republican vote
for governor last year was 2s,751.

The Providence, r. l., Journal conceded
the state to Wilson,and with the vote
close In New Hampshire, it seemed prob.
able that New England, with the cxcep-
tion of Vermont, had gone over to the
Democratic column.
Dixon Looked to the West.
Senator Jos. NJ. Dixon, chairman Of
the psEJtal Progressive committee, with
Gov. Hiram w. johnson, the vice-presi-
Dental nominee, and Mrs. Johnson, Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Oliver
Roosevelt, a nephew of the colonel, and
George W. Perkins, heard the returns at
the party headquarters.
Early returns from the Eastern states
were diseouraging and Senator Dixon
remarked:
we nave got 10 go west LOT tne Roose'
welt VOTE"
The returns gave an apparent victory
to Taft in New Hampshire and Vermont,
but the Taft pluralities dwindled to a
very few hundred votes in each state.
The vote in Utah reported up to mid
night indicated the state might be car
ried for Taft. The New York state as
sembly is overwhelmingly Democratic. In
Illinois, Judge Dunno, the Democratic
candidate for governor, won, notwith
standing the heavy Roosevelt vote.
The claims Of the Roosevelt managers
that Iowa, Michigan and Kansas would
fall into the Roosevelt column were yer
flied by the returns.

OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE.

Humor and Contentment."

Oyster Bay, N. Y.|Shortly before mid
night Col. Theodore Roosevelt made the
following statement:

rality have decided in favor of Mr.. Will

triumph is essential to the well-being OF
the American people.

About the same time he issued his
statement Col. Roosevelt sent the follow
ing telegram to Gov. Wilson:
"The American people, by a great plu'

: Washington.-The Democrats not only
will maintain a free working majority
in the national house of representatives,
but increase their majority OF sixty
eight in the present congress.
The Democratic sweep throughout the
country will make enough state legisla-
lures Democratic on joint ballot to over
turn the present Republican majority in
the United States senate and give the
entire machinery of the national govern.
ment into Democratic hands.
The increase of forty-one of the house
of representatives under apportionment,
according to the new census figures,
worked in favor of the Democrats and

Little Rock.-Arkansas voted for con-
gressmen and presidential electors only,
state officers and the legislature having
been elected in September. An unusually
large presidential vote was polled and
Wilson's plurality will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 votes. The surprising
feature of the voting in Little Rock was
the large number of prominent Demo
Gratis who voted for Roosevelt. The ex-
president also received the support of
many Republicans. The following Demo-
cratic nominees for congress were elected
by usual majorities:
First district, 7. H. Carraway; Second
District, w. A. Oldfeld; Third district,
j. G. Floyd; Fourth district, Otis Wingo;
Fifth district, H. M. Jacoway; Sixth
district, S. NJ. Taylor; Seventh district,

tain at least the present Democratic
membership of the house of representa-
tives, which would give them $50 out
of a total membership of 435, free ma
jority of thirty.
Champ Clark, Democratic speaker OF
the house, has been returned to congress
by an overwhelming majority from the
Ninth Missouri district, and undoubtedly
will be speaker of the Sixty-third con
gress.
In contrast to the triumphant return
of Champ Clark the returns from the
Eighteenth Illinois district show the de-
feat of former Speaker Joseph G. Can
non, after serving thirty years in con-
gress, a continuous service, but for a
break of two years. He was speaker for
eight years.
William B. Mckinley, in the Nine
teenth district, also has been defeated.
He was the Taft pre-convention manager
and was fought bitterly both by the
Democrats and the Progressives.
Returns id Massachusetts, show that
the Democrats will have 100 of the $50
seats in the legislature and will elect a
Democrat to the United States senate to
succeed Winthrop Murray Crane. This
will be the first Democrat sent to the
United States senate from Massachusetts,
since Charles Sumner.
The New Jersey legislature also will
be Democratic on joint ballot and will
send a Depocrat to the senate in Wash
ington to succeed Frank 0. Briggs.

C~incinnati.-In the same house where
he heard the news of his victory over W..
j. Bryan four years ago, President Taft
read the bulletins that told the story
of the election. The president and C. P.
Taft and Mrs. Charles Anderson, Mrs.
Taft's sister, were the only members of
the family present, but a few friends
dropped in during the evening. The pres
ident was cheerful and smiling and APP
parently was under less strain than other
members of the family dinner party at
lie home OF his brother.

The president voted shortly before
noon, spent a few minutes at Prosperity
League headquarters and then returned
to his brothers house OF rest. On his
way to the polls in an automobile the
president was cheered frequently. He
waved his hat and bowed and posed
smilingly for several photographers.
Mr.. Taft has many times declared his
intention of returning to Cincinnati and

and that intention was said not to have
been altered.
