Columbus, Ohio, NOV 5.-De-
feated but far from discouraged,
President VIM. II. Taft already has
already formed plans of holding the
republican party together and
strengthening it. His plans are in
definite and vague, but one of his
suggestions will be that a national
republican club, entirely apart from
the national committee, be organized
to cherish the principles Of his party
and to be source of political activity
at all times.
The president is returning to
Washington where he viii stay, with
but few trips away from the White
House until next March.
Taft laughingly repeated today his
intention to return to the practice of
law in Cincinnati

The vote for the four constitution

voters in Tuesdays election. was
greater at San Benito than at any
other precinct in the county. The
light vote on the question of the
amendments in this county was
probably caused by the fact that few
properly understood their import

In one precinct in the county,
where 17S votes were cast, only one
voter exercised his right to vote on
the amendments One city precinct
cast $40 votes on The candidates for

WILSON'S VICTORY
BEYOND QUESTION
ABSOLUTELY ASSURED OF 3S7
ELECTORAL VOTES
Illinois Still in Doubt With Small
Lead for Roosevelt-Kansas, Iowa.
South Dakota, Wyoming Still in
Doubtful Column.

BY Associated Press.
New York, 6.-The only uncer-
tainty is in a few close states whose
electortal vote can not affect the
election Of Wilson and Marshall
Speculation as to the poular vote
of the three presidential candidates
and the complexion of the legisla-
lures that will name the United
States senators held the interest to-
night in the final reurns from yester-
days election.
The total republican electoral col
umn is apparently fixed at the
twelve votes of idaho, Utah and Ver-
mont.
The footing of the Wilson and
Roosevelt columns flickered alter
nately during the afternoon and
night. as the late returns from Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota
and Wyoming place these states in
the doubtful column. The latest re-
turns gave Wilson 3S7 certain cleo
toral votes, Roosevelt SO.
All the doubtful states, except
South Dakota, gave more or less GER
tain indications during the night OF
landing in the Wilson column.
A by-phase of the election that be-
came known today was the success
of woman suffrage in four of the five
states where constitutional amend
ment was submitted to the people.
The victory for the women was COM
Dlete in Kansas Arizona, and Michi-
gan. Late returns indicated that
the amendment will win in Oergon;
the whole amendment was defeated
in Wisconsin
1t is impossible tonight to COM
pute the popular vote, but assertions
were made from several quarters
where an effort was mare to gather
the figures, that Wilson did not poll
majority of the popular votes OF
the country
One Of the surprises Of the day
was the majority shown for Wilson
in New Hampshire.
In Illinois the down state" vote
promised to wipe out the Roosevelt
majority in Cook county, but later
returns, complete, from Cook coun-
ty Increase the Roosevelt majority
there, and made it practically GER
tain that the Illinois vote will go to
him.
Kansas, conceded to Roosevelt last
night, has slipped back into the
doubtful column. Wilson has the
better of the situation in Minnesota,
where the counting is still in pro-
gres. tonight.
Whether the democrats have Sc
cured control of the United States
Senate can not be settled for sew
eral days In many states the con-
troll of the legislatures is still in
doubt.

show vote of 500. bringing the
total vote of the county to about

the county as indicated by the poll
