er Speaker Cannon seemed to have
been defeated for reelection for con-
gress in Illinois.
In addition to oRosevelt's certain vic.
tory in Illinois the confident claims of
the Roosevelt managers that Iowa,
Michigan and Kansas would fall into
the Roosevelt column seemed verified
by the partially complete returns.
Taft Carries Vermont.
The returns from California were
meager but left this state in doubt be-
tween Wilson and Roosevelt. The un
certainty regarding Vermont was set
tied by the announcement of the com
plete vote, which gave Mr.. Taft a ma
jority of 924 votes.
Wilson Carries Rhode Island.
At 12:45 the Providence, R. l., Jour.
nal conceded that state to Wilson
and with the result. close in New
Hampshire it seemed probable that
New England, with the exception of
Vermont, had gone over to the Dem.

Oregon.
Portland, Ore, Nov. 6.-Scattering
returns from the state indicate that
Wilson has carried Oregon by safe
plurality with Roosevelt second. The
senatorial fight apparently lies be-
tween ceiling, Republican, and Lane,
Democratic. Jonathan Bourne, Re-

1854 election districts out of 6,573
