Chicago. Nov. Wilson and Mar
shall have swept the country.
The Democratic nominee for presi-
dent and vice president, borne upon
a veritable landslide, are assured of
the greatest plurality in the electoral
college That has been known in mod
ern times The returns at this time
show that Wilson and Marshall will
receive 395 electoral votes from
states in which the result is already
settled, and this number may be in
creased by later returns.
Roosevelt, on the face of the re-
tulns,eis assured of 112 votes in the
electoral college, while President Taft
has only eight, so far as results are
now determined. Several. states, in
Guiding Pennsylvania, Idaho, New
Hampshire, South Dakota and Wyom-
ing, are still in doubt, but these states
altogether have only 54 electoral col
lege votes. Pennsylvania alone has
SO of these votes and in this state
Wilson and Roosevelt were running
neck and neck.
The only states known absolutely to
have been carried by Taft are Yer
mont and Utah, each of which has
four electoral votes. He has a chance
to carry New Hampshire and Wyom-
ng, with total of seven electoral
votes.
Wilson swept the east and the
south, captured most Of the big states
of the central west and divided the
iar west with Roosevelt With the
vote in New Hampshire close and the
result undecided, the rock-ribbed Re
publican states OF New England, with
the exception OF Vermont, have
swung away from lneir moorings and
placed in the Democratic column.
In the central west Wilson has car
RED OHIO by approximately 100000
plurality and Indiana by nearly the
same margin. The indications are
also that Wilson has carried Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and others of the old
time Republican stronghods.
In the far west Wilson also
showed unexpected strength, captur-
ing several states which had been re-
garded as leaning toward Roosevelt
and running Taft close in Wyoming
and one OF two others that had been
practically conceded to the president
Before midnight both President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt had per-
sonally conceded the election of Mr.
Wilson and Colonel Roosevelt had tel
egraphed his congratulations to the
winning candidate.
/ Aside from the landslide for Will
son, the most striking feature about
the election was the lead obtained by
Roosevelt over Taft in the great ma
jority of the states. Roosevelt car
ried Illinois, leading Wilson by a
margin of more than 10000 votes in
Chicago and running the Democratic
nominee close in the state, outside of
Chicago. Roosevelt also carried Kan
sas, California and is believed to have
won in Michigan and one or two other
states.
