South, Maryland, Connecticut, Della.
ware, Maine and even Massachusetts,
the last-named State by $4,000, esti-
mated. New York swung to Wilson
by almost 100, 900.
Vermont's vote showed Mr.. Taft the
winner by 924 votes.
Returns from 2,611 districts in New
York outside of the city,, out of 1908,
gave Wilson 293,931; Taft, 279,310
and Roosevelt, 174,403.
Little definite news from States of
the Pacific West was received during
the early hours of the morning, except
from California, where a Wilson vic
tory was indicated. The tabulation of
votes in the other Western States was
so slow as to make predictions impos-
sible as to where their electoral vote
would go.
A plurality exceeding 100000 seemed
certain for the Colonel in Illinois.
New Hampshire stood firmly by the
President, as did Rhode Island and
Utah. Vermont, too at midnight
seemed safely in the Taft column.
Fairly accurate returns, as judged
from the claims of the State chair
men of the three parties, divided the
electoral vote as follows:
Wilson, 400; Roosevelt, So; Taft,
&c; doubtful, SO.
The Democratic landslide assures
control of the lower House Of Con-
gress by at least ninety, and the like
lihood that the Democrats will control
the Senate by twelve votes.
William Sulzer was safely elected
Governor of New York, running even
better than Wilson.
The New York Legislature will be
Democratic on both sides, but no line
could be had on the fate of the $780,
600, 900 good roads referendum.
Greater New York gave Wilson a
plurality of 122,77S in a total vote of
620,479. Roosevelt beat Taft in each
borough, and in the greater city the
colonel ran 61,574 votes ahead of the
President.
Wilson's plurality in Manhattan and
The Bronx was 67,282; in Brooklyn,
1881; in Queens, 1903, and in Rich
mond, 4,702.
Roosevelt got 35,352 votes more
than Taft in Manhattan and The
Bronx. In Brooklyn the Colonel led
the President by 20,227; in Queens by
5,287, and in Richmond by 708.
In the five boroughs of greater New
York, Taft got 124, 1851 votes as COM
pared to 300,99S that he got in the
same territory in 1908. Roosevelt got
186,425 in greater New York yester-
day, as compared with S9,345 votes
he got in the same territory in 1904.
Wilson in winning greater New
York by 122,778 overturned the figures
of 1908, when Bryan lost the city to
Taft by 1928.
Governor Wilson carried his own
State by about $4,000 plurality, about
half his majority when he ran for
governor. Roosevelt seemed to be a
safe second.
The Democrats captured the State
Senate by II to 10, thus insuring the
selection of a Democrat to succeed
Wilson as Governor. Senator James
F. Fielder probably will be chosen.
The election of Judge William Hughes,
Democrat, to succeed United States
Senator Frank o. Briggs, Republican,
is also assured, as the Democrats will
have a majority of 16 on joint ballot.
In the several contests for govern
ors the results showed:
Indiana, Samuel M. Ralston; Ten
nessee, Benton F. McMillin; Illinois,
Edward P. Dunno; Delaware, Charles
R. Miller; Missouri, Elliott W. Major;
Massachusetts, Eugene N. Foss.
Wilson carried New York State by
206,409 and Sulzer for Governor ran
along with the Democratic candidate
for President. Taft and Roosevelt
ran about even, Taft going some thou
sands of votes ahead of Roosevelt in
the State above the Harlem River,
where he was met by an equal heavier
vote of Roosevelt over Taft below the
Harlem River. Straus ran ahead of
Hedges in New York City, but Hedges
more than made this up in the coun.
ties upstate.
The next Congress will be controlled
by the Democrats. The latest returns
indicated that they had carried the
United States Senate from the Repub-
licans and will have it by a majority
of eight over the Republicans.
This will give them fifty-two votes
in the Senate, a majority of the entire
body being forty-nine. Massachusetts
will send a Democratic United States
Senator to Washington for the first
time in many years.
The next House will be Democratic
by an overwhelming majority. The
Democrats will have a plurality of III
over the Republicans, as compared
with the margin of seventy-one, which
they have at present. Many Republi-
can old timers in Congress, including
Uncle Joe Cannon. saved their seats.
Maine has gone for Gov. Wilson, his
plurality being about 5000 over
Roosevelt and 10000 over Taft. Con-
gresham M~cGillicuddy's county, An
~droscoggin, a Democratic stronghold,
gave Roosevelt only three votes less
than Wilson.
