Returns today indicate the probabil-
ity of the success of a sufficient num-
ber of democratic senatorial candi-
dates to give the democrats control of
both branches of congress. There is,
however, sufficient uncertainty to
make the situation indefinite.
New York, Nov. 6.-On the basis OF
at least partial returns from every
state at noon today indicated. the re
suit of the election was:
Wilson'S states and AIS electoral
votes.
Roosevelt-Six states and 1O4 elec

Taft-Three states and IL electoral
, votes.
Changes in doubtful states, accord
ing to the later returns, gave Taft
four more electoral votes from Idaho
and Wilson an equal number of elec
toral votes from New Hampshire.
NEW HAMPSHIRE TO WILSON.
Returns from 270 out of 29O dis
tricts In New Hampshire give the sue
cessful demoncratic candidates a leaC
of 1870 votes over Taft. Idaho ha.

An unattractive, austere ground, with
unyielding geometrical fiower-beds

transformed into a place of beauty,

done with a pool, a sun dial and the
right kind of flowers.
Mrs. Wilson, like all the members
Of her family, is a great reader. Her
favorite authors are Kipling, Carlyle,
Addison and George Eliot, and the
same authority declares that she new

Those who know most intimately
the home life of Woodrow Wilson fam
ily declare it to be ideal. The family
circle includes, besides the governor
and his wife, three charming unmar-
ried daughters, Margaret, Jessie and
Eleanor
Mrs. Wilson is one of the most
charming women in the world. She is
intensely interested in her husband S
career, and is said TO know as much
about inside politics as many of the
most clever politicians of the country.
Yet her knowledge of politics does not
exceed her knowledge of many other
things. She can talk art, literature,
domestic or social science, and is an
authority on them all.
Especially art. Mrs. Wilson doubt,
less would have gained fame as an
artist had not her marriage turned
her attention to other things. She has
high talent as a landscape painter
and the work that she has done along
this line has been of high quality.
Her gifts as a landscape gardener
showed TO rare advantage when the
Woodrow Wilson family moved into

WOODROW WILSON OF NEW JERSEY.

There is nothing of the social but
terfiy in the Wilson girls. Indeed their
lives show quite the reverse. They
are studious and serious-minded, and
ali of them are fired with the ambi-
tion to do something worth while in
the world.
This doesn't mean, of course, that
they are not fond of play. They like
tennis and other outdoor games, and
give as much time to recreation as
normal girls should.
OF Governor Wilson himself, much
has been written and said. Time has
dealt kindly with him. The slight
stoop into which he falls when stand
ing or sitting is not from weight OF
years. 1t is the stoop of the scholar
Wilson is a scholar always. Even al
home he may generally be found with
book in his hand-a book, perhaps
it were needless to add, dealing with
political economy or the science OF
government.
Mrs. Wilson says that when she is
at Sea Girt with her family gathered
around her she is the happiest woman
in the world. Why shouldn't she be-

Chicago, Nov. 6.-What last night
appeared to be a landslide in Illinois
for Roosevelt this morning had mar
rowed down TO a bare plurality OF 5000
over Wilson. Many counties not yet
received are normally democratic and
supporters of Roosevelt entertained
some apprehension as to the final re-
suit. Dunno, democratic gubernator-
ial candidate, is generally conceded to
have won by plurality of $4,000.
The entire democratic state ticket
vas swept into office by the strength
of the Dunno ticket. Two big sur
prises in the result were the defeat Of
