Net Results of Tuesdays Election.
The Democrats will control the
United States senate. with 40 or so
of the SO members.
The Democrats will have 50 more
than majority of the house, with 290
out of the 435 members.
Wilson is likely to have over 400
electoral votes.
Ii Roosevelt carries Minnesota and
Illinois it will give him six states,
Wilson thirty-nine and Taft three.
New York, Nov. 7.-7Returns seem
to assure Wilson and Marshall of 400
votes in the electoral college.
Iowa and Kansas, which were in the
doubtful column during the day,
seemed almost sure last night to swell
the Democratic total in the final align
ment of states. Possibilities of fur
ther gain remained for Wilson through
the accession of Wyoming, where he
led Taft by a small margin, with one
third of the vote tabulated.
Late figures from South Dakota
velt, the Progressive candidate leading
by fair margin and maintaining his
lead fairly we'll on added returns. Late
Minnesota returns give the lead to
Roosevelt.
The total of the Republican electoral
column apparently was fixed at the IL
votes of Idaho, Utah and Vermont, but
the footing of the Wilson and Roose-
welt columns flickered alternately dur
ing the afternoon and night as late re-
turns from Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
South Dakota and Wyoming gave in
dications of change from the results
accepted Tuesday night.
Estimates based on complete results
from Chicago and half of the counties
outside of the city indicated that
Roosevelt's plurality over Wilson
might be almost, if not entirely, over
come Colonel Roosevelt's plurality
of $4,000 in Cook county was reduced
to less than 10000 by Wilson plural-
ties in the state and complete figures
had not been received from nearly
fifty counties in the southern part Of
the state.
A Wilson plurality OF practically an
even 900 votes over Taft, a Taft
lead OF 10000 over Roosevelt, and a
similar alignment of parties IN the
gubernatorial vote is the result of the
election in New York state, so far as
confirmed by nearly complete returns.
Charles Boeschenstein, Democratic
national committeeman from Illinois,
after studying reports received during
the night, said Governor Wilson had
carried illinois. He said his reports
indicated large pluralities for Wilson
in counties not yet tabulated.
The defeat of William B. Mckinley,
Republican, for congress in the Nine.
teenth Illinois district, seems certain.
Mckinley managed Taft's pre-conven-
ton campaign.
In the general wave of Democratic
success the party appears to have won
the most substantial control it ever
had of the legislature.
With complete figures from 50 of
the 80 counties of Iowa, Woodrow
Wilson has a plurality of 22,616 over
Roosevelt.
George w. Clarke of Adel (Repub-
l:can) is leading for governor by
small plurality. Charles Rawson,
chairman of the Republican commit
tee, claims Clarke's election by 1000.
Practically complete returns from 63
Of the lis counties in Kansas give Will
son a plurality of 10000. The state
Democratic ticket also made big gains
IN the returns received yesterday and
and George H. Hodges, Democratic
candidate for governor. had lead of
$500 over Arthur Capper, Republican.
Governor Stubbs, Republican, admit
ted that he had been defeated by Will
liam H. Thompson, Democrat, for the
United States Senate.
The Democratic presidential plural
ity is the largest New York state has
ever given that party, and it is the
first time the voters outside of the
metropolitan district have given
Democratic presidential candidate
plurality. The totals follow:
For Wilson, 649,0O6;
Taft, 477,274; Roosevelt, SS1 1000. Will
sons plurality, 200,792.
For Governor-Sulzer Democrat),
649,SO6; Hedges (Republican), 444,-
GS2; Straus (Progressive), 391,663.
Suffers plurality, 205,124.
New York City gave Wilson a plu-
rality of 124,6SS over Roosevelt, who
was second in the city.
