Wyoming, With Three Votes, Is Doubtful and May
 Go to Wilson Roosevelt Party Is Second In Many States, Which Gives It Decided Ad-
 vantage in Future Thirty nine States for Will son, Five for Roosevelt, With TT Votes, and
 Three for Taft

son will have the unprecedented rec ord, of 439 votes in the electoral col lege and has a good chance of adding the three voters of Wyoming to that total as it will require the official court there to determine whether Taft or Wilson won.
 ' Col Roosevelt will be second with the electoral vote of Pennsylvania, Michigan, South Dakota. Washington, and Minnesota for a total of Z. Pres ident Taft is third He surely has the states of Idaho, Vermont and Utah and the chance of getting wyoming g when the count is completed.
 This was made certain when the revised figures became available to- day Roosevelt lost Kansas and Illinois which he had steadily claim ed from the earliest reports. But he the Cornfelds began to come in The farmers stood by Roosevelt and 1t was certain today, that the Oyster toral votes that Democratic National Committeeman Fred Lynch so often assured Wilson were absolutely cer- tain for him.
 The switch in Illinois and Kansas was unexpected and in both instances was due to the farming vote. The son so effectiyeIv that the biz Roose- @ welt vote of the cities was overcome.
 Wilson did not receive a majority
 
 Of 2,6Oo.0 900 and is record breaking. The exact figures will not be avail able for several days. In fact. today.si reports show that the count in many states had not been reported to the various county clerks in hundreds of instances and it seemed d@lik ely that it would be the middle of next week be- fone authentic official totals would abe obtained. It is certain however that the Socialists although they lost their national assets. Congressnan Victor, RcY-e f7 oir.ez 14ca u1ar vote. In Illinois they elected three members of the legislature and owing to the very peculiar complexion of that body where the Democrats lack 12 votes of a majority and the Re- publicans lack 20. with the Bull Moose holding f28 members. the Socialists may be able to make trades tflatsw will help the party materially. The So-. ciafist leaders were, today claiming that they had cast upward of 100000 votes and there was no doubt that they had made a good showing.
 Wilson got Iowa by 15,O00; he got Illinois by possibly as large a figure and it appears he will not have less Roosevelt had expected 5o.ooo from the Sunflower state. One effect sse the loss of that state is the defeat of bunch of governors whose impOrtun- fty forced the throwing of the Roose- welt hat into the ring.
 Roosevelt seems to have run sec ond in many of the important states and this will give him and his fol- lowers control of the election ma cIlinery as the second party, an ad- vantage that will prove important in organization work.
 At Democratic headquarters today it was intimated that the leaders would like to vote a prize for the location of the noted statisticians who before election discovered that the election was sure to be thrown into the house of representative and that that body would be unable to reach a choice.
 The fact that the Dem ocratic can didate is sure of 39 states and may reach 40 goes far to vindicate Chair man McCornbs, it was said, in having refused on Saturday night to concede a single state to either Taft or Roose- welt There was some feeling of chagrin, however, over the loss of Minnesota. The national organization had planned to send much outside aid to this state in the closing days of the campaign but the state organiza- ton frowned on this claiming that it was not needed. The Progressive strength in the rural districts there seems to have been undereStimated by the Democratic leaders. But it was pointed out that 39 states were suf- hcient to enable Governor Wilson to demand that the party representation in congress live up to the promises of the Baltimore platform.
