has been elected president by nearly
400 out of they 5:s2 votes of the eIec-
toral college. Roosevelt runs second
and Taft third.
The revised totals in the electoral
college by the Associated Press today
predicted the electoral college would
be divided as follows:
Wilson, 800.
Roosevelt, 112.
Taft, "a.
Without affecting in the slightest
| the certainty that Wilson and Mar
shaii have captures an overwhelming
majority of the electorai vote, con-
servative estimates at 1870 today
compelled the transfer to the doubt

suls had been recorded as certain.
Among these were Iowa, with 13
votes first given to Roosevelt. and
Minnesota with IL, first given to Will
son.
tltraconservatives even include
Illinois. with 20 votes given Roose-
velt and Pennsylvania, with %, Wyo-
ming with 3 and South Dakota with

Heavy reductions in the early re-
ports of large plurality for Roose-
welt in Kansas upset all calculations
so that RooS velt's lead over Wilson
bad narrowed to 625 OH oue-fourth
of the total returns.
In Illinois heavy Wilson vote out
side Cook county had reduced Roose-
Neifs lead to about $4,000.

Changes in doubtful states, accord
ing to later returns, gave Taft four

Wilson an equal number OF electoral
votes from New Hampshire.
Returns from 270 out OF 290 dis
tricts in New Hampshire give the
uecessful democratic candidate
lead of $40 votes over Taft. Idaho
has gone TO TAFT by 5000 and the
election of two republican senators
there is assured. This victory in

ticket swept into Office on wave
OF victory that carried state officers,

Popular Vote Great.
4 New York City.-No effort was
made during the night to compute
the popular vote for the national
candidate but in the majority of
states the record vote was larger
than at any previous election. The
i final count is expected to exceed all
previous records.
The defeat of Taft and the divi-
sion of republican votes between Taft

In New York the democrats car
ried the state and legislature.
In Illinois the democratic candi-

man Berger, the only socialist in
the house of representatives, was
defeated with number of other
| office holders. In Schenectady,
where the party had elected COM

Wilson not only carried his own
state but those of his opponents as
well and that of Roosevelt's mate,
