Wilson Carries Illinois

Chicago. November With all but 1s0 scattering precincts out of 42SS in H. linois reported. Governor Wilson tonight has a plurality of s4s7 over Colonel Roose- Yelt and 1t is generally conceded that he has carried the state.
 All of the precincts to be heard from are outside of Cook county, and many of them in the southern part of the state. where further pluralitles for Wilson are anticipated.
 The popular vote now sia is: Wilson aa9 42s. Roosevelt ss9,99i, Taft 25o, 2s7,
 The vote for Cook county was: Roose- eelt 17s4 4sO, Wilson 1Ss,22s, Taft 79.s24. In the 265s precincts out of 27ss outside of Cook the result stood: Wilson 2sl, ,sO5, Roosevelt 21S,5il, Taft 17O.s7s.
 Ii became apparent early today that Wilson soon would pass Roosevelt s'wste. Throughout the day Wilson's gain was gradual. Then, when he was approxi- covered that the President-elect had been credited enormously with 5000 too many votes from Livingston county. This de- creased plurality gave hope to the pro- gressives, but it was short lived. for al- most every precinct reported from then on increased Wilson's lead
 Edwin F. Dunne, democrat. carried Illinois for governor, by plurality of 11O,654, with POP precincts not heard from. The counties outside of Cook county gave Dunne 245,1sli Deneen S,543; Funk, 169,541
 Cook county totals were: Dunne 161,- 112, Deneen 07.096, Funk 1oS,4S5.
 Late returns gave additional gains to Governor Wilson in Illinois, and his piur- ality went up from 9i3 to 15,042. Official figures from Clay county changed Q plug ality for Roosevelt of 1793 to plurality for Wilson of 129o. Other additions to the Wilson column came in the belated returns from 91 precincts.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
 WON HE SENATE
 BEYOND A DOUBT
Conceding All Doubtful States One-Haf Elected With Democratic Vice
 President

Washington, November 7-Control Of the Senate in the sixty-third Congress now is practically assured to the demo- erats. Concedng to the republicans the legislatures of all states still in the doubtful column tonight the democrats will have vote of 4S, or one-half of the entire membership of the Senate. with q democratic vice president in the chair to cast the deciding ballot In case of tie. Seven states are yet to be heard from definitely. A senator from one of thesa would give the democrats a clear Iii. jority, and it is possible the strensta will be even further increased by win hing in several.
 Kansas has been added to the demo- cratic column in the past 24 hours.
 Do1btful States
 The states in which the complexion of the legislatures is yet to be decided are:
 Illinois, Michigan, New Hampshire. Ore gon, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wy oming. Ordinarily Tennessee could be relied upon to help the democratic party but the factional fight there may pre- vent 1t in this crisis. In Illinois there are complications growing out of the null tiplicity of parties, rendering 1t uncer- tain whether there will be a senatorial election. In that state there should be chosen a successor to the deposed Sen ator Lorimer as well as to Senator Gull lom, whose term expires on March 1 next.
 IT there should be no election the effect would be to favor the democrats by re- dueing the membership of the Senate to 94, of which number the 4S already chosen would be working majority.
 In New Hampshire the dispatches in- dicate a possible combination of demo- crats and republicans, and In that event prediction as to the course of the man selected would be mere guesswork
 Whatever the outcome in any of the states mentioned there can be no doubt as to democratic control of the Senate.
 Sources of Aid
 Tn addition to the aid of the vice presi- dert in an emergency they will find will. ing cooperation among the progressive senators Three or four of the progress sives are almost as liberal in their tariff views and on other questions as the dem ocrats themselves. Senators Clapp, La Toilette. Cummins, Gronna, Bristow and Poindexter are all avowed tariff reform CTS They also favor advanced legislation on other subjects. Senator Works an- nounced his intention of voting for the democratic presidential candidate for the democratic presidential candidate some time before the election. This de- termination was due. however, to a pe- oiiliar combination of circumstances Ind the California senator probably would not wish to have it construed as bind ing him to a democratic legislative policy. He is classed as a protectionist.
 Of the 31 hold-over republicans. eight have been classed as progressiyes in the past They are Senators Bristow of Kan sas Crawford of South Dakota. Cum mins of Iowa, Gronna of North Dakota. s~o~~~-~>---~-~~~~ ~-~~~~~~~-~-~~~>>~~~-->>>>

Washington, November 7.-Although democratic control of the House of Repre- sentatives by a greatly increased ma jority Is assured. general shake up Of the personnel of the important House committees in the next Congress will be necessary.
 The all important ways and means com mittee. which will shape Into bills the tariff policies of the Wilson administra- tion. was riddled by the election. Of the IA democrats on the committee four will not return. Two of them, however, Hughes of New Jersey and James of Kentucky, go to the Senate. Randell of Texas and Brsntley of Georgia are re- the committee but two apparently will re- main. John Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Samuel w. Mccall of Massachusetts, for years shapers of the republican tariff policy. were not candidates at the polls, and Ebenezer Hill of Connecticut, James c. Needham of California and probably Nicholas Longworth of Ohio were beaten. Serene E. Payne of New York and Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan may be the only republicans left.
 The election of Representative Sulzer governor of New York leaves vacant the chairmanship of the important foreign af- fairs committee. Flood of Virginia is ranking member of the committee, but he declined the chairmanship two years ago | to . cept the less important territories committee.
