 Chicago, Nov. 5.-Wilson and Mar shall have swept the country. The Democratic nominees for president and vice president are assured of big plurality in the electoral college and there is a possibility that when the complete returns are in from all states this plurality may be record breaking in it's magnitude.
 The result of the great national sst wss9 determined within, very fey hours alter tne polls had closed, although the managers of the Repub- lican and Progressive campaigns did mot concede defeat. With the cer- tainty early in the evening of big Wilson victory in New York, the Democratic managers within one hour after the polls closed claimed sweep ing victory. The later returns from other Eastern states and the Middle West confirmed the early indications.
 The Democratic managers claim to have carried practically every state in the Union, but concede several doubt full.
 Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the Pro- gressive nominee, has carried several states, it is believed and has run sec ond to Wilson in a great majority of the states. Taft has carried one state, New Hampshire, and it is expected that later returns will give him one or two others. Roosevelt apparently has carried Illinois, the early returns indicating that he will have a plural ity of more than 60,000, while the Chicago vote will add to this. Roose welt was also leading on the early re- turns from Michigan, outside the city of Detroit and the result there was uncertain.
 The indications are that Massachu- setts has given Wilson a big plural ! fty and that Maine has gone for the Democratic nominee by a big margin. Early in the night Senator Dixon, manager of the Progressive campaign, conceded practically the entire East to Wilson and stated that Roosevelt would have to look to the West for his electoral votes. The returns indi- cate that Missouri has been carried by Wilson and that Majors, the Dem Ocratic nominee for governor, has been elected. Minnesota is claimed by the Democratic managers by 25,- 900.
 Roosevelt has boiled big vote in Indiana, Ohio and other Middle West ern states, and Wilson has carried most of these by big majorities. The Democratic nominee carried Hamil- ton county, Ohio, in which Cincinnati, President Taft's home, is located by 17000 plurality.
 Early in the night non-partisan newspapers gave Wilson 167 electoral votes in states where the result was determined, Roosevelt 29 and Taft 8. This gives Wilson one more than the necessary number of electoral votes, and the Democratic managers claim that Wilson's vote will be far in ex- cess of 300.
 The Roosevelt managers claim to have carried Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, as we'll as a number of. other Western states
 congressman Sulzer, the Democrat ic nominee for governor, has been elected by a big plurality over his two opponents in New York, and Gov ernor Foss of Massachusetts has been reelected.
 The indications are that Wilson has carried Connecticut and Delaware, as well as his own state, New Jersey. The Democratic leaders claim to have elected big majority of the lower house of congress and to have elected legislatures in a sufficient number of states to give them control of the next senate.
