White River Junction, Vt, Nov, 6.
President Taft was the winner in
Vermont by plurality of 924 over
Roosevelt. Taft received a total of
% PAT votes, Roosevelt %, 1923 and
Wilson Is, 1897. The complete vote of
the state was received here by mid

An analysis of the returns shows
that Roosevelt received the largest
support in the farming districts,
where Taft's Canadian reciprocity
policy was said to be unpopular. The
cities and larger towns contributed
heavily to Tafts strength While
the president carried the state by only
S24 votes, Governor Fletcher had a
plurality of 10 COS in September.

tory that carried with 1t state Offices,
congressional seats, and the control
of a number of legislatures that will
have the opportunity to GUST Republi-
cans from the United States senate,
and add to the Democratic strength In
that body.
Second only in interest to the over
whelming victory of Governor Will
son and his running mate, Governor
Marshall of Indiana, was the strength
shown by Theodore Roosevelt in ILL
nois, Pennsylvania and other states.
On returns received this morning from
states where the result was reason
ably certain, it appeared that Wilson
would have almost If not quite 400 OF
the 53I votes in the electoral college,
and that Roosevelt would have nearly
100. President Taft had received
eight votes, those of Vermont and
Utah, while the fifty-one votes of
Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, New Hamp-
shire, South Dakota and Wyoming
remained in the doubtful class.
between mIonIght and the receipt of
fairly complete reports this morning,
there were many important changes
in the results 2 8 earlier reported from
closely contested states.
Based on returns from over half the
states, the thirty eight votes from
Pennsylvania were apparently GER
tain for Roosevelt at o'clock today
The race between Taft, Roosevelt
and Wilson was almost an even affair
until over 1856, 900 ballots had been
counted. AS precincts outside the
large cities began to report, Roose-
welt and Wilson forged ahead and with
something over half the vote counted,
Roosevelt this morning had a major
tts of over 20 900, with many strong
holds yet to report.
Minnesota, conceded to- Wilson at
midnight, slipped back ito the doubt

when accessions to the Roosevelt
strength reduced !. e lead.
Iowa, given to Roos2>elt III The mid
night returns, showed a strong re-
versal of form and at s o'clock this
morning returns from a portion of the
state gave Wilson a slight lead.
The race in New Hampshire was so
close as to make predictions of the
result impossible. Taft and Wilson
ran neck and neck throughout the
night, as the count progressed, Tafts
lead varying from thirteen to some
thing over 100, and with many dis
tricts yet to be counted, the electoral
vote remained at issue between the
Democratic and Republican candi
dates.

Reports from Chicago indicated that
the big lead held by Roosevelt late
last night, gained chiefly through his
large majority in Chicago and Cook
county, was being steadily reduced by
the vote from Democratic districts in
the state at large, particularly in the
southern counties.

Esperanto.

The artificial key-!anguaEe known as ''Esperanto" is the invention of Dr. Zamenhof, a native of Grodno. in Rus sian Poland, who first produced his system in 1887 by the publication of "An International Language" The leading characteristics of Esperanto are its simplicity of construction, the facility by which it may be acquired and the practical ease and euphony of Its pronunciation" to use the lan- guage of its advocates. The alphabet Is composed of twenty-eight letters, each letter having an Invariable sound, the vocabulary consisting of some 300 roots selected from the most familiar tongues. Since 1887 Esperanto has greatly increased in use. but many think it will never be made to serve the purpose for which its inventor designed it-a universal language.

The departure of the would-be soldiers awaits only the arrangement of the details of transportation and this has Deen taken up.
 The Balkans-Turkey war excite ment has reached a white heat in Bisbee Yesterday the headquarters of the Servian club in the Muheim building was thronged with excited Servians all day long, and a rousing patriotic demonstration was held there yesterday afternoon. Time and again cheers marked the speeches that were made by Seryian patriots.
 Brewery Gulch Stirred
 Down in Brewery gulch, just un, der the windows of the club, people of other nationalities went about their daily business. wondering what ex- citemen had caused the cheering. but this idle interest was only momen- tary. Upstairs it was different. Those
  the clubs headquarters were living in another country for the time be- ing, and they were unconscious of the wonder that their cheering caused. All day there was a steady stream of Servians going in and out of the club, silent men except when aroused.
 Will Abandon Quarters
 It was stated last night that the club will abandon it's headquarters, now that the opportunity so long awaited has arrived, now that the propaganda of 'Servia must be free has reached the stage where the fruit must be gathered.
 If walls had a mouth as well as ears, the walls of the SeTvian cub might tell interesting stories, and 1t is possible that out of the room in the Muheim building yesterday there walked a future leader of the Ser yian people.
 Members of the club would not dS- cuss for publication what occurred at the club meeting yesterday after noon, but it was evident from the cheering and from the determined look of those who participated that the business in hand was of serious matter. Officers of the club received and sent telegTaphic communications. but to whom they were sent was not divulged. It is positively known, how ever, that a party of 200 is preparing to leave Bisbee at the earliest possi- bledate.
