New York. Nov. 7.-Corrected and ud
ttonal returns increased the magni-
Ede of the victory of Woodrow Wilson
pd the Democratic party generally
broughout the country.
Late returns and corrections on those
ade before seemed to make it certain
bat Wilson carried thirty-eight states
the polls, while Roosevelt was sec
bid with six and Taft third with four.
Democratic chairmen of Pennsylva-
la, Kansas and Idaho wired to ma
onal headquarters that the results in
bose states were 30 close that 1t might
equire an official canvass to make sure
pat Wilson had lost. They were EN-
hatic in their claims of victory. This
ould take two states from Roosevelt
hd one from Taft.
AS it stood, with the close states ap-
brtoned on the face Of the returns OBJ
Unable, Wilson will have 412 electoral
btes. the greatest number ever given
a presidential candidate; Roosevelt
i'll have lo4 and Taft will have IL
Eom his four states. This will give
Iilson a majority Of 296 over all, a
Iurality OF 30S over Roosevelt and a
urality of 400 over Taft. Roosevelt
i'll beat Taft by 92 votes.
Wilson Vote Increases.
The day brought three significant
Lbanges in the electoral count and
Taft was the loser in each. New
hampshire, with four electors, and lit
e Rhode Island, with five, for the
rst time in the memory of man went
bto the Democratic column, while
Eashington's seven votes went to the
Fedit of Roosevelt.
Wyoming, which was credited to Viii
bn on election night, goes into the
|oubtful column.
1t is not quite certain that the Demo
rats VIII have control Of both
ranches Of congress. There Is nc
uestion about the house, in which the
democrats will have plurality OF 16l
Z ccording to the latest figures. The
3rogressives will have sixteen mem
ers.
The senate is still in doubt. At best
be Democrats cannot hope to control
by more than a slight majority, but
be results In Michigan, Illinois and
colorado are still In doubt. In al
hese states where senators are to be
elected the legislature is 30 close OF
pint ballot as the returns come in that
very district must be counted before
be result can be known.
The senate as constituted today con
lists of fifty Republicans to forty -thre,
Democrats, there being three va
ancies. The terms Of thirty-five sen
tors expire on March 3, fourteen
democrats and twenty-one Repub
cans. Upon the face of the latest re
l. nrns New Jersey, New Hampshire
Delaware, Colorado and Montana ap
! &arently have elected Democratic legis
btures which will send Democrats t
be upper house at Washington.
