DEMOCRATS HAVE
GREAT LANDSLI LIDE
Wilson Received Over Four Hundred Electoral Votes.
Roosevelt, Ninsty-nine; Taft, Twenty and
South Dakota Still in Doubt

The partial returns show that
Wilson will be the next President
Of the United States. This victory
has been conceded to him for some
time. He carried the solid south
and the following states; Connecti-
cut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New
York, West Virginia, Indiana,
Missouri, Montana, New Jersey,
New Mexico, Rhode Island, Wis.
consin, Arizona and Oklahoma.
Taft has carried Vermont, and
ROOSEVELT is conceded Illinois,
Washington and possibly Cali
fornia, Iowa, Michigan, South
Dakota and Kansas.
Undoubtedly Wilson will be
elected by a larger electoral vote
than Roosevelt received in 1904.
1t is the old story of house
divided against itself, must fall.
Montana was right there on the
democratic land slide, Wilson car
rying the state by at least 10000.
Roosevelt and Taft running very
close for second, Stewart is elected
Governor, Walsh is the choice for
Senator and Stout and Evans, con-
gressmen. The whole democratic
ticket is elected in the state.
Later returns-The democrats
Tuesday won the most sweeping
victory ever won by any political
party in the history of American
politics. After the voters had fin
ished their work last night, the
proud old republican party, which
has been in control Of the affairs of
the government since the days of
Lincoln, was a complete wreck,
having suffered a defeat from
which it is likely never to recover.
The progressive party, newborn
and full of prediction hope, did
but little better, although the
Rooseveltian organization accom-
plished what it evidently started
out to do-crush the republicans |
and win second place in the presi- !!
Dental stakes. Taft carried but |
three states, Utah, Wyoming and
Vermont, while Roosevelt has
surely carried Illinois, Iowa, South !
Dakota, Michigan, with the issue
in Pennsylvania, Minnesota and
California still close between Roos-4
evelt and Wilson at the time of
going to press.
With these few exceptions, Will
son swept the nation. He lost but |
one state in all OF that rock ribbed !
republican stronghold, New Eng
land. He carried New York by
quarter of million, Taft running
third. Ohio gave him tremen-
dous plurality, as did Wisconsin
and other former staunch republi-
can states. There was not break
in the solid South and the West |
went uniformly for Wilson.
The next congress will be demo
cratic by an overwhelming major
ity, and late returns indicate that J
the senate has also been won by
that party. Most Of the states
elected democratic state tickets
throughout and thousands of dem
ocratic county candidates were
elected in former republican strong
holds.

 Although he has achieved the high place indicated by these facts, MT. Melrose is>only g years of age and his years.
 Studying originally for the Episcopal priesthood, and having served an ap- premiership of many yearh as choir boy, crucifer. chorister and lay read CT. MT. Melrose discovered finally that his talents were in the direction of the stage and with nothing but s in his pocket and an unlimited amount of ambition in his head, he started out from his native city of Des Moines, Iowa, for Chicago, and struck" for an engagement.
 "I was determined that I'd make good somehow" he declared, "even If it was only digging a trench"
 He made good" almost immediately and rose from minor positions in stock companies, to leading roles in the biggest productions in the company.
 Theatregoers who saw the original company of Clyde Fftch's play, '"The City" will remember MT. Melrose as George Rand. Jr.,'' the leading role, which he created.
 He has played as leading man with Virginia Prescott; with Julia Marlowe, in "The Goddess of Reason; created the role of the Master Toy Maker in Babes of Toyland"; played for four tremendously successful seasons as leading man in the Boston theatre, achieving a personal hit >such as is seldom recorded in the cultured but frigid circles of '"The Hub'', and be- ing called there for repeated return ngagements; and has played leading roles in the principal stock companies of the country, including the most fa- nous of all-David Belascos Alcazar Stock Company in San Francisco, noted as the school of great actors, from the number of stars it has grad uated.
 This is but brief summary of his principal engagements, during which he has, been associated with most of Americas greatest theatrical stars.

LYRIC THEATRE

Tonight. the closing performance or 'The Road to Yesterday" will be giv- en by the Frank Carpenter Stock company and with 1t the season of the Lyric theatre, for 1s11-1912. will be !: at an end. There is no question that ! the house will be jammed to the doors i tonight. for there has been great ' sale of seats and what very few re- !: main will be disposed of long before the time for opening the doors.
 a tremendous success this season, and when it returns here early next fall, . 1t will find a transformed theatre, an seager populace, and a greeting which ' will ensure it another season far above the past one in importance and in scope There will be many who will miss the company during the weeks to come. but the welcome which will be extended on their re- turn will surely make up for their ab- Ssence now.
 During the summer, and commence ing bright and early Monday morn ing. the alterations on the Lyric thea- Ire will go steadily forward. Man ~Ager Isham will work night and day, ! if necessary, to make the house more attractive. more beautiful than ever during the, summer. Notwfthstand- ing the fact that he has had a hard {, season, he will go to work at once with the contractors to raise the roof. install the new balcony. place the new seats in position, and effect the many other improvements and changes which are to be made in the play house before the new season opens.
 Many changes and improvements arc contemplated, regarding which nothing has been said, and which Manager Isham intends as a surprise for the patrons of the playhouse. He has been busy with the contractors for long time. and all plans are per fected for making the Lyric. one of the cosiest, handsomest theatres in this section of the country, a theatre of which the people of Bridgeport will be proud. As Manager Isham says, he is not going to blow his horn too much in advance, but the plans he has up his sleeve will surely delight, the patrons when the playhouse reopens' in the fall. Tt is now the plan to re- open about the middle of August, so, the people have not so long to wait, and 1t will be well worth while with practically new theatre, and the Carpenter company, fresh and vigor- Ous from their summer vacation all prepared with a new stock of the lar- est plays. Next season is going to be even more busy at the Lyric than the past one has been, and even full Ter of real pleasure and enjoyment for the people.

ly unfamiliar, MT Melrose accomplish
 ed that wonderful feat to perfection. and gave splendid rendering of the part at both performances. The cir cumstances were explained to the au- dience and he received an immense ovation. The spectators were pre- pared to make allowances for the tre- mendous hurry in which he had mem orized and studied his part, but ex- pectancy turned to pleased surprise when MT. Melrose went through the performance without the slightest hitch or hesitancy and no one would have suspected the facts, had it not been for the announcement. His magnetic and winning personality and his artistic conception of the role won him friends at once and before the end of the performance he had made a start toward becoming Bridgeport's favorite within very short time.
 Theatregoers naturally will be inter- ested in a few facts concepping this new leading man, who is rated as one of the most popular actors on the American stage, is handsome, versa tile, and highly endowed as an artistic actor, and incidentally is commanding far and away the highest salary ever paid an actor in Bridgeport stock
