Governor Wilson to the presidency
was claimed by the party leaders at
the democratic national headquarters
within an hour after the first returns
began to come in. National Chairman

Wilson at Princeton that there was
every indication that he would be car
ried into office by landslide.

Princeton, N. with tears of emo
ton in his eyes Governor Wilson stood
before the student body of Princeton

Spokane, Wash, Nov 6.-Complete
and partial returns from 271 of 1920
precincts give for governor: Hay,
10.O57; Lister, 1905; Hodge. 1905.
These returns include many precincts
in Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane.
Washington state leapcd ntot the
front rank of progressive states when
it rolled up what appears, upon the
face of incomplete returns, to be a
plurality of more than 10000 votes for
Roosevelt The plurality may go to
10000. Spokane will probabl. give
Roosevelt a larger percentage of the
plurality.
The trend of the returns shows that
the legislature will probably be strong
ly republican in both branches, with
a number of progressives.
