Wilson to the presidency and Thom-
as r. Marshall to the vice presiden-
cy the returns so far received indi-
cate that the electoral vote of the
democratic candidates will be 399
This is the largest electoral vote ev-
er cast for a president in the his
tory of the United States. ROose-
welt polled the next highest, 1856,
in 1904. while Taft had 321 in
1908.
The appointment of William J.
Bryan as Secretary of State under
President Wilson is virtually settled
1t is also expected that Harvey w.
Wiley. former chief chemist, will be
named as Secretary Of Agriculture
and Louis D. Brandeis, the Boston
attorney, as Attorney General.
Wilson carried California by a
small majority.
Montana goes democratic. elect
ing United States senator and
two democratic congressman.
Idaho is close, but will in all
probability elect legislature that
will return VIM. Il. BOrah to the
senate.
Oregon went democratic by
small majority.
Interest in this state centered pri-
marily on the vote for president and
governor.

The Tribune's going to press to
give the definite results of the e.
lection last Tuesday.
Roosevelt has carried the state of
Washington by at least 10000.
Progressive Dan LandOn defeats
Congressman Humphrey, and J. w,
Bryan and J. A. Falconer. Progress
i've candidates for congressman at
large are elected by handsome ma
jorities.
The entire Progressive state tick
ct is elected, with the possible ex-
ception of Hodge. the result on the
governorship being in doubt. Hodge
and Lister, the democratic candidate
are running neck and neck. and 1t
will probable take the complete Of
ficial count to decide. Governor
Hay is defeated, of that there is
no question.
Late returns show that Hodge is
gaining over Lister, and Hay is
dropping further and further behind
The Progressives all over the state
are feeling enthusiastic. believing
that their sweeping victory will car
ry Hodge into office. Eastern Wash
ington is yet to be heard from and
that part OF the state is conceded by
both republicans and democrats to
he strongly progressive. Hodge
is running ahead of Hay in Pierce
county, and close to Lister. In King
county Hodge is running strong.
The next state legislature will
be strongly Progressive, and with
either Hodge or Lister as govern
or, the people of the state will
get their government back.
