PIONEER PAPER OF ARIZONA. PRESCOTT, ARIZONA WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER , 1912. FORTMtmn YEAR. WILSON SWEEPS COUNTRY HIS VICTORY A LANDSLIDE From Maine to California the Country Rallies to Hii Support and Accords Magnificent Vote. The election of Wilson and Marshall In' a safe majority of electoral votes, is made certain by incomplete returns re ceived from the country at large up to 10 o'clock. With Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, and other large states repre sented by only meager reports, the success of the Democratic ticket in a majority of heavily populated states is certain. Early returns give Wilson the "Solid South," embracing all the Democratic states south of the Potomac, and Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and apparently West Virginia, "Indiana and Missouri. A Roosevelt victory in Illinois was Conceded early hy the evening by Democratic taadcrsYand he.promiscd at" 10 o'clock to carry witty it a, plurality greater than 100,000. New Hampshire arid "Vermont. Had apparently, given a majority to Taft on thc?basis6f' fa'irly comprehensive returns received at that time: rates-whqre the results were reasonably certain at 10 o'clojgjay'ejthd .following electoral vote Wilson 267, Roosevelt 2f9,'taft 8. ' Rhode Island also became a doubtful state on the returns near ' midnight, ..ba$ed . oiitrav,yjotcs , .reported and,, fffi. not wholly improbable its five electoral votes' would go ,to "Wilson. Early returns gave an apparent victory for Taft in New Hampshire and Vermont but the Taft plurality dwindled ;is midnight approached to very few hundred votes in each state and it seemed likely will be wiped out entirely. The vote in Utah as reflected in the dispatches up to midnight gave indications that the state might be carried for Taft. The vote in Pennsylvania is amazingly close, the re turns from more than a thousand precincts embracing over 185,000 votes giving each of the three leading presidential candidates more than 60,000 votes. Taft's lead in the Phila delphia districts was offset by the heavy vote olled by Roose velt and Wilson in other parts of the state. Many surprises are shown m the returns. The New York State Assembly seems to be overwhelmingly Demo cratic. In Illinois the indications were that Judge Dunne, Democratic candidate for Governor, won notwithstanding the heavy Roosevelt victory. Former Speaker Cannon seemed to be defeated for re-election for Congress in Illinois. In addition to Roosevelt's apparently certain victory in Illinois confident claims by the Roosevelt managers that Iowa, Michi gan and Kansas would fall into the Roosevelt column seemed verified by partly complete returns at an early hour this (Wednesday) morning. Returns from California are meager but left the state- in doubt between Wilson and Roosevelt. Uncertaintv reo-nrdinr- Vermont is settled bv the announce- T j o"- o mcnt of the complete vote which gave Taft a majority of 924 votes. At 12:45 this (Wednesday) morning, the Providence (R. I.) Journal eonceded that state to Wilson with the vote close in New Hampshire. It seemed probable that New Eng land entire, with the exception of Vermont, has gone over to the Democratic column. Reports at midnight give indications that the electoral vote of Wilson will pass the three hundred mark. It is cer tain Illinois will give Roosevelt an overwhelming majority. The race in Pennsylvania is sq close to bring all the three candidates within the range of success. Indications contained in the early incomplete returns were that the Democrats make gains in the United States Senate, but whether these gains will be sufficient to change the political complexion of the Senate is undetermined. In New Jersey it appeared likely a Democrat would succeed a Republican and while Progressive leaders in Colorado will not concede it it appeared from Wilson gains indicated in early returns the possibility that two Democratic Senatori will be returned from that state. In Montana, Walsh, the Democrat, is slightly in the lead in the spattering returns. Warren, Republican, is running ahead of Kendrick, Demo crat iti'Wyoming. OUR NEXT WILSON GETS NEWS PRINCETON. Nov. 5. Governor Wilson sat tonight 'with a party of friends aroitinl a brilliantly illuminat ed dinner table as tbu election re turns began coming in.
