essary to elect and with these states
yet to be decided: Idaho 4, Kansas 10,
Minnesota IL; Montana 4; Nevada 8;
Ohio "a; Utah A. Washington A. wy
oming Z; West Virginia 7.
Doubtful" States Republican.
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and
Michigan, all claimed by the Democrats
by big maiOrities, all turned into the
Hughes column.
In Illinois, where the women voted
for president, the Hughes plurality APP
preached 100000. The relative vote of |
the men and women was almost the
same, which means that the women IA
vored Hughes almost to the same SN-
tent that the men did.
Ohio, however, which also was
placed among the doubtful states, JUS
titled the claims of the Democratic
managers, and before midnight the Re
publican state committee admitted
that Wilson had carried the state.
Wilson carried Maryland by about
1000.
Wisconsin Safely Republican.
Wisconsin went Republican by
about 100000. This in brief, tells the
story Of the result at the polls, accord
Ing to the unofficial returns, but the
official count may raise or decrease
this to some extent. Early returns
showed that the districts that were
counted on to swing the state into the
Democratic column did not come up
to expectations and before midnight
Republican victory was conceded.
Gov. L. l.. Phillip was reelected and
Senator La Toilette was returned to
Washington. Considerable interest
was manifested in the vote for senator,
as LaFollette eSpOused many of the
Wilson policies, but the returns show
that his reelection is assured with
only the official count to determine the
exact plurality. The Republicans also
elected at least seven congressman, the
results in four districts being in doubt.
Connecticut, confidently claimed by
the Wilson leaders, was among the first
states to show that it was for the Re
publican candidate. With it went all
New England, including Massachusetts,
where the Hughes majority was 5000.
Progressive Split Healed.
The general result showed that the
split in the Republican party occa-
sionsd by the Roosevelt detection in
1912 has been almost completely healed.
The Hughes pluralities approXi-
mated the figures of the combined Taft
and Roosevelt vote of four years ago.
So far as could be gathered, the efforts
Of one wing Of the PrOgresgslves to
drive the members of their party into
the Wilson camp failed utterly.
Returns in New York showed plain
ly that the record of Gov. Charles S.
Whitman has been satisfactory to the
electorate. President Wilson ran far
ahead of his ticket, as also did Will
liam NJ. Calder, Republican candidate
for United States senator. William f.
McCOmbs, who was one Of the lead
erS of the movement to put Mr.. Wilson
