Great Popular Vote Given to

Democratic Landslide.

New York, Nov. 11.-Although final
returns nave not been received In all
OF the states II now appears that
woodrow WILSON,, democrat, win have
h largest electoral vote ever given a
candidate. Wilson's plurality is not SO
great as early returns indicated. OF
the 5000, 900 votes polled he has re-
ceived approximately 5000, 900. Roose-
welt received a little ver 5000, 900 votes
and Taft less than 1000, 5000.
Taft carried three states, Idaho, Utah
y Vermont with a total OF. II cleo
tOral votes. gu.EI I'D 49,
Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania,
South Dakota and has a slight lead
over Wilson in California. The other
80 states wen to Wilson. &
The split in the republican party, was
fatal all along the line and republican
maJorities were overturned In states
publican column. The democrats made
great gains in the various states, cap
turing legislatures and congressman.
The Wilson administration ewflfShaye a
congress in sympathy with it%as the
democrats are assured of asbig major
ity in the house and will control the
senate by a margin OF from one to four
votes. The complexion OF the new leg
tslatures in several states Is not yet
known. IS H. y
The big surprises Of the election were
afforded by Iowa, which gave Wilson
o plurality of about 1900; Kansas,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana
all OF which returned democratic plur-
alities. Nebraska gave Wilson about
10000 plurality. In Kansas the demo-
Gratis swept everything, defeating
Stubs for the United States Senate,
and electing the full democratic state
ticket. The republican state ticket
pulled through in Iowa by small plur-
alties. Byrne was elected governor Of
test with Johnson. George w. Norris
has been elected senator from Nebras-
ka, receiving a large majority over
Sh~alleDberger, democrat.

A by-phase Of the general election
that became known today was the
success of woman's suffrage in four
of the five states where constitutional
amendments We're submitted to the
people The victory of the women was
complete in Kansas, Arizona and prob
ably Michigan; late returns from Ore
gon indicated they had succeeded there
also, while from Wisconsin came re-
turns showing the decisive defeat Of
the equal suffrage, proposal.
MINNESOTA sWiNes
= 4 FROM WILSON COLUMN.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 11-Late returns
today swung Minnesota from Wilson
to Roosevelt. and the colonel probably
will carry the state by about IL, 900.
Roosevelt found his greatest strength
In the rural districts. ~
The vote complete from 1880 pre-
cincts Of the 1868 precincts including
those In Hennepin n Ramsey coun-
ties. shows Roosevelt received, 81, 9S5;
Wilson, S4,117; Taft, 50,7S9. Roosevelt
In the canvass of votes is gaining an
average of seven and one-half votes on
Wilson In the county and should this,
ratio continue his plurality would ma
terially exceed claims already set up
by his followers. -
Governor Eberhart was reelected by
a plurality Of 10000. The election Of
the entire republican state ticket Is
practically assured.
Senator Knute Nelson led all the re-
publican state, candidates.
Returns from about two-thirds Of the
precincts indicate that MS plurality
over w. Lawler will be about 30,-
600. Ringdahl led the democratic ticket.
- 1t is not probable Tafts vote will
greatly exceed rs, 1000. We
Collins, progressive nominee for gov
ernor. probably has polled less than
10000 votes. ">
