Roosevelt vote OF the cities was over
come.
Wilson did not receive a majority
vote, but his plurality will be In ex-
cess OF 100000 and is record-break-
ing. The exact figures will not be
available for several days. In fact.
today's reports show that the coun-
ties OF many states had not been re-
ported to the various clerks in hun
dreds OF instances and 1t seemed
likely that II would be the middle OF
next week at least before authentic
semi-official totals would be obtain
able.
1t Is certain however. that the So
cialists, although they lost their ma
tional asset--Congressman Victor
Berger-made great gains In the pop
ular vote. In Illinois they elected
three members OF the Legislature and
owing to the very peculiar complex
for of that body where the Democrats
lack twelve votes OF majority and
the Republicans lack 20 with the Bull
Moose holding down 20 members, the

The Socialist leaders were today

pected $4,000 from the Sunfiower
state. One effect OF the loss of that
state is the defeat OF Governor
Stubs, one OF the original group OF
governors whose Importantly forced
the throwing OF the Roosevelt hat into
the ring.
Roosevelt seems to have run second
in many OF the important states and
this will give him and his followers
control OF the election machinery as
the second party. an advantage that
will prove important In organization
work.
At Democratic headquarters today
II was intimated that the leaders
would like to vote a prize for the
location OF the noted statisticians who
before election discovered that the
election was sure to be thrown into
the house OF representatives and that
that body would be unable TO reach

The fact that the Democratic can

reach 40, goes far TO vindicate Chair
man McCombs, II was said, In having
refused on Saturday night to concede
a single state to either Taft or Roose-

chagrin however over the loss OF
Minnesota The national organiza-

days OF the campaign. but the state

1t was pointed out that 80 states were
euficient to enable Governor Wilson
to demand that the party representa-
