Topeka, Kan, Nov. 7.-Returns from 401 out of 52l precincts in Kansas gave Wilson a plurality of 4.161 and it was believed this indicated a plu. ralty of 15,000 for Wilson in the state.

his two opponents, and Governor Foss, Democratic governor of Massa- chusetts, was reelected.
 The probability of a Wilson victory in California was one of the unex- peeted features of the late returns. It had been expected that Roosevelt would carry that state by a good ma jority, but the vote in San Francisco and northern California rolled up a pluralit! for Wilson which it was be- lieved would overcome the Roosevelt lead in the southern part of the state.

government handed

constitutional government handed down to us by our fathers.
 We must make clear to the young men Of the country, who have been weaned away from sound principles of government by promise Of reforms. impossible of accomplishment by mere legislation, that patriotism and com mon sense require them to return to support of our constitution. With out compromising our princip,es, we must convince and win back former Republicans and We must reinforce our ranks with constitution loving Democrats.
 We favor every step of progress toward more perfect equality of op- portunity and the ridding society of injustice, but we know that all pro- gress worth making is possible with our present form of government and that to sacrifice that which is of the highest value in our governmental reforms is the widest folly.
 We must face the danger with a clear knowledge of what it is. The Republican party is equal to the task. It has had no nobler cause. Let us close ranks and march forward to do battle for the right and the true"

vention, may hang the politisal for
tune OF former President Roosevelt.
He decided tonight to oppose with
all his strength the seating of Sena-
tor Root and issued a call to all his
supporters to stand by him. Col
Roosevelt declares that Root has ar
raigned himself against the men
who stand for progressive principles
with the Republican party" and
says it is William j. Barnes, who is
to be the real head Of the Taft can
vas at Chicago.
The Colonel's decision to make a
square issue of the seating of Root
was reached today after a long con-
sultation with advisers at Sycamore

After Roosevelt had completed his
statement he brought up the ques-
ton as to whether he is to go to the
Chicago convention.
"After hearing what the men
have seen today have to say" he
said my impression is that | will
not go | may reach different de-
cision,"
The following is the statement
dictated today at Sycamore Hill, by
Roosevelt:
"In the past Mr.. Root has render
ed distinguished services as secre-
tary of state and secretary of war.
But in this contest he arraigned
himself against the men who stand
for progressive principles in the Re-
publican party, that is against the
men who stand for making the Re-
publican party in relation to the Is.
sue of the present day what 1t was
, in the days of Abrham Lincoln. He
stands as the representative of the
men and the policies of reaction. He
is put forward by the bosses and
representatives of special privilege.
| What has recently come to my
knowledge makes 1t clear that 1t il
a question of absolute duty of every
progressive Republican to oppose tht
selection as temporary chairman OF
the Chicago convention, of any man
put forward in the interest of sup
porters of President Taft in this con-
test.
THE great majority of the Repub,
lican party has unequlyocally re-
pudiated Mr.. Taft. If the wishes Of
the Republican voters could be given
fair expression Mr.. Taft would have
but a corporals guard in the con-
J vention Under the circumstances II
| 1t fitting and appropriate that Mr.
Barnes should be chosen to lead the
Tart forces at Chicago, in tho effort
to override the expressed wish OF
the rank and file of the party and
give the nomination to the candidate
the party has explicitly and beyond
dill question repudiated "
