ernor of New Jersey and former presi.
den OF Princeton University, will be
the ~twenty-eighth President OF the
United States.
Ely the greatest popular plurality
ever given a candidate for the Presi
dency, Governor Wilson has been
swept into office. The Democratic
vote by which he was elected had the
proportions of a landslide.
Governor Wilson, who carries the
Democratic party into power for the
third time in 62 years, swept with
him into the office OF Vice-President
Thomas r. Marshall, Governor of In
diana.
OF the 4S States in the Union, Gov
ernor Wilson, according TO the returns
received up to Wednesday morning,
carried 81. which gives him a total
electoral vote of 1913, or 1872 votes
more thar necessary for his election.
This phenomenal electoral vote is
the largest ever given a candidate for
the presidency.
At the same time the New Jersey
Governor rolled up the largest popu-
lar vote eve cast for a National con-
tender. Taft polled the lowest on
record.
Theodore Roosevelt, head Bull
Moose of the Progressive party, was
runner-up in the race for the presi-
dency. He is credited with having
carried eight states, with a total cleo.
toral vote of 1872.
This total, however includes 20
electoral votes from Illinois, which
was still in doubt and threatening to
swing finally into the Wilson column
early Wednesday morning.
President Taft was third in the
states stood by him, giving him an
electoral vote of only II.
When the full scope of his defeat
was made plain. President Taft an
nounced his intention of returning to
Cincinnati to practice law.
WILSON SWEEPS NEW YORK.
Woodrow Wilson was the choice Of
the State of New York for President
by a plurality estimated Wednesday
morning at about 200, 600 from re-
turns received from nearly every cleo
ton district in the greater city OF New
York and from all but 500 of the 1898
districts outside of New York City.
President Taft led Colonel Roose-
welt in the same districts by about
81, 1000 votes.
Congressman William Sulzer was
electer Governor with a plurality esti-
mated at midnight Tuesday at about
175, 600 ovter Job +. Hedges, the Re
publican nominee, who in turn led
Oscar Straus, candidate of the Pro
gressive party, by about 1900 votes.
William Barnes, Jr., chairman OF
the Republican State Committee, is
sued the following statement:
The result of the election in the
State OF New York demonstrates one
thing: That the Roosevelt movement
was simply a Republican bolt. With
all the frantic efforts that were made
to secure votes from people generally,
the result shows that practically non
but former Republicans joined the
Roosevelt movemen
The decisive victory OF Taft and
Hedges over Roosevelt and Straus is
q demonstration that the Republicans
of New York desired the denomination
Of President Taft and hat the dele
gates from this State properly ex-
pressed the preference Of the Repub-
licans when a large majority voted
for Taft at Chicago"
ILLINOIS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Indications are that Roosevelt
would carry the State, outside of
Cook county. by 10000 plurality, if
the returns continued in the same
ratio. At midnight Tuesday 91S pre-.
cincts out of l49s in Cool county gave
him a plurality of approximately 49,.
600.
At that time 1910 precincts out OF
1895 in the State showed the follow.
ing results: Roosevelt, 121,1O2; vii
son. 1886; Taft. 62,31S.
The early indications were that
Roosevelt would carry the State by
100, 900 votes, but later returns great.
ly reduced that figure.

peared to have won the gubernatorial
fight, with Deneen (R.) second, and
Funk Prog third. Six hundred and
ninety-five precincts out Of 1926 gave
