At midnight the canvass of 600 of the 657 precincts In this city gave WJlson 43,158 and Roosevelt 34.101. It was estimated that Wilson would carry San Francisco by about 10,000. The progressive candidates probably carried 6 of the 13 assembly districts. 2 senatorial districts and 1 congres sional district. One of the closest and hardest waged fights in the city was that between Ed ward I. Wolfe and Edwin Grant for the] senate in the nineteenth district. The X.test figures showed that 56 of the 66 precincts in the district gave Grant 4.442, against 4,324 for Wolfe. Many of the progressives in the district worked openly for Grant, the democrat, to de feat Wolfe, who remained loyal to Taft- Kahn defeated Schlesinerer. his demo, cratic opponent. * for congress in the fourth district. John I. Nolan, on the bull moose ticket, defeated Stephen Cos tello, his democratic opponent, in the tifth congressional district. In the assembly fights Bush in the twenty-sixth and Schmitt in the thirty first, the two Taft men who won re publican nominations, have won the election. Ford, democrat, has evidently defeated Kennedy, progressive, in the twenty-second district. Richardson, democrat, has a lead over Wentworth, progressive, in the twenty-ninth dis trict. Gillson. progressive, was de feated by Shannon, democrat, in the thirty-second district. Walsh, demo crat, has beaten White, progressive, in the twenty-seventh district. Hench, progressive, was defeated by McCarthy, democrat, in the twenty-fifth district, the'latest figures being 3,581 to 2.842. A CAN FRANCISCO'S "FRIENDS" WIN of ihe eight propositions submitted to the voters of the state all apparently have been defeated with the exception nf two. These provide for free text hooks and for the authorization of the depositing of the bonds of irrigation districts as security for public funds. The returns, although partial and in complete, indicate that the consolida tion amendment, which would make possible a greater San Francisco and a greater Los Angeles, has been defeated. There is no question about the de feat of the Initiative measure provid ing for the establishment of a racing commission and authorizing paris mu tuel and auction pool betting on races. Home rule taxation has also fared badly throughout the state, the voters having indicated their wish that there be no further change in the scheme of taxation In this state for the present. The three referendum measures which were forced through the last legislature with a view to depriving <**ounty Clerk Cook of Alameda county of patronage by creating a registrar of voters have apparently met a de clatvc defeat. By resorting to the ref erendum Cook has thwarted the pro gressives of Alameda county, who sough to lop off some of the plums of his offiVe. Had the measures passed by the legislature and approved by Gover nor Johnson become laws it would have, been necessary to provide for registrars "f voters in every county of the state ho that the act would have been con stitutional. rONGRESSIONAL EARLY RETURNS With two districts in doubt, owing to the incomplete and partial returns available at midnight, the democrats had elected one member of congress. Raker in the second, and had fight ng chances to put over Zumwalt in the first and Kettner in the eleventh. With the first and eleventh districts n doubt, the republicans elected their onpressional candidates in the third, fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth dis :ri«ts; the progressives elected their •andidates in the fifth, ninth and tenth, nnd the democrats re-elected Raker in ►lie second. In the first district the doubt lay -•efwff-n Zumwalt (Dem.) and Kent Prop i, with Hart (Rep.) running ihird. The incomplete and partial returns .(vailable at midnight showed Zumwalt l.oldins; a short lead over Kent in the southern counties of the district which might readily be overcome by the ex pected Kent vote In Humboldt county. Raker ran away from his progressive competitor, Rutherford, in the second district. In the third district Curry (Rep.) beat IJn.«s (Dem.) by an indicated majority of approximately two and a half to one Juliue Kahit (Rep.) defeated Schles inger (Dem.) decisively in the fouth district, and John I. Nolan (Prog.) as decisively defeated Stephen V. Costello (Dem.) in the fifth. In the sixth district, Alameda county. Congressman Joseph Knowland won out by a plurality that may exceed 19,904. The surprising feature of the Alameda county congressional contest was the vote polled by J. Stitt Wilson, iist. Congressman Heedham, republican, won by a small margin over Denver S. Church, democrat, in the seventh, Church giving the senior congressman frcm California a race for it in several counties. Congressman Hayes, republican, won decisively over Holohan, who was d by the democrats and the pro ves in the eighth. l>ll, progressive, in the ninth, and Congregsman Stephens, progressive, in the £en±h, won by topheavy majorities ever Kirk and Ringo, respectively. In the eleventh district San Diego gave Kettner, democrat, a lead that more than offset the progressive can didate's edge in his own county, Riv- I erside. The contest is in doubt which J can be dispelled only by the completed returns from the other counties of the district. WILSON CARRIES STATE BY 25,000 1 John O. Davis, democratic state chair man, telegraphed at 9 o'clock to the national committee headquarters in New York: "Wilson has carried California by 25,000 votes." At 10 o'clock ha said: "I've been claiming the state by from 20,000 to 25,000 ever since the returns commenced to come in. and I see no reason for changing my opinion. We j are getting a much stronger vote than we expected in many counties. "Wilson is now assured of victory in San Diego county by 3,000 votes. We expected a majority of half that many. He will carry Monterey county by 500, which we expected to lose by 250, and he will carry Santa Clara by 1.000 or more, which we expected to lose by 1,500. Many other counties are run ning the same way." Gavin McNab, who spent the evening in the state central committee head quarters, was not so optimlstfc. "The result will b« very close." he said at 10 o'clock. ' "I have estimated Roosevelt's victory in L*os Angeles at not less than 20,000 and Wilson's in San Francisco at 10,000. That re quires us to overcome Los Angeles and Alameda with the Wilson lead in the northern counties. It will be very close indeed." Mrs. Gertrude Atherton. the novelist, who aided in the Wilson flght In Cali fornia, heard the returns at the demo cratic headquarters. She was pleased over the national victory of the* demo crats, but was most Interested in Cali fornia. "If California doesn't go for Wilson, it will be such a blow to woman suf frage," she said. "It will show that women ar e gullible, hysterical and heedless in the use of their fran chise, and will be a blow to suffrage in both this country and England. Thousands of splendid women voted for Wilson, it is true. but if the state is lost they will not get the credit for it." Former Mayor Edward Robeson Tay lor viewed the victory from the stand point of the third term defeat. He said: "By the defeat of Theodore Roosevelt, the third term ambition has been ended forever in this country. "The election of Wilson has put the democratic party upon the greatest test of its life. The responsibility will rest entirely upon the party to do the things that are imperatively needed, or to sink out of sight and leave the road clear for a third party, which will be based on broader foundations and be governed by saner and more constitu tional methods than any proposed by Colonel Roosevelt.' , H A. RYAN STILL v - CLAIMS STATE Daniel A. Ryan, chairman of the local progressive organization, issued the fol lowing statement at 11:20 o'clock last night: "It looks as if we will win California. We have lost the northern counties with the exception of Alameda and Humboldt. The south indicates a ma jority of about 30.000 for Roosevelt, and if the anticipated plurality is cor rect, It will offset the northern vote, and we will carry by a small margin. "While it is apparent we have lost the fight In the nation, nevertheless, the people have won a great victory. The progressive movement has awak ened the people of the United States as never before. It has brought them to realise that more important than the trust and the tariff question is the condition of the plain people, of the working man. the woman who has to work for a living and the little child. "It has brought before the people the real conditions of the millions of in dividuals who are now downtrodden by the great moneyed industries of the country and it is sure to bring re sults. "The movement has put the country ahead 25 years. It has, furthermore, established permanently a new party— the progressive party—and four years from now nothing can keep it from victory." HOCTOR TRICKED V AND LOSES VOTE Dr. Julian Waller, a physician living at the Palace hotel and a prominent campaigner for the bull moose ticket, lost his vote yesterday by a trick played by Joseph A. Chanslor, the mil lionaire oil operator. Monday evening Chanslor pretended to .be seriously ill. He had Doctor Waller called to his apartments. No remedy suggested by the physician seemed to meet the needs of the pa tient. Finally Chanslor declared from his bed of sickness: "I need a rest and a change. I bet you if you and I swapped votes on the election I would feel better." Doctor Waller agreed to make the exchange and promised to vote as Ohanslor would do. Yesterday, when the pplls had been opened, the oil operator explained to the physician that he had no vote, not having regis tered.* Waller and the bull moose ticket each lost a vote. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1912. A CHINESE SUFFRAGETTE CASTING HER FIRST VOTE FOR PRESIDENT. The Chinese native daughters of San Francisco are proud of their political privileges, and nearly all of them exer cise their rights at the polls. From a photograph taken yesterday afternoon by a Call artist. ALL EYES ON CALL BULLETIN SCREEN Great Throng Watches Election News and Entertainment Com bined by Modern Method The Call easily led all its competi tors last night in both the excellence and the popularity of its bulletin serv ice, giving the results of the election throughout the country. Its bulletins came in early and were displayed promptly and clearly. Market street in front of the tall 'Call building was crowded from dusk, when the bulletins began to appear, until long after the main results were known. The thou sands who watched them cared nothing for the rain, which cast no damper upon their spirits, however moist the atmosphere. > From the Magee building across the street two bright beams of light shone on the building, one on the huge bul letin scroll showing the returns as fast as they came in, the other playing on a moving picture screen—a novelty in such bulletin service which was hugejy enjoyed by the spectators. Between the bulletins of election re turns the moving pictures depicted scenes in the recent campaign, with the rival candidates in characteristic poses, such as Roosevelt and Taft and Wilson addressing audiences from grandstands in cities and towns and from the plat forms of railway trains. These politi cal scenes were interspersed with amusing skits of various kinds, which kept the crowds in a mirthful spirit. Cheers were mingled with laughter, interest with entertainment. CiREAT AUDIENCE GATHERS The early hours at which The Call returns were received and displayed caught the appreciative onlookers, who collected in dense packs in front of The Call bulletins. Good nature prevailed everywhere, in spite of crowding and the downpour. Young and old, men and women, stood for hours in the street and watched the succession of figures that told the tale of the nation's choice for chief executive and for lesser offi cials. These figures were received and transmitted and displayed by a corps of trained and experienced telegraphers, stenographers and telephone and mov ing picture operators in The Call bureau in the Magee building. A bulletin was displayed within a few seconds after its receipt over the wires, distancing all rivals and giving the latest and most complete returns. It was a cheery crowd that filled Mar ket street. As a candidate showed a marked lead, applause came from thou sands of throats, for every candidate had a goodly following. When the elec tric lights were suddenly extinguished to announce the election of Wilson a prolonged cheer arose from the happy democrats, and the supporters of the other candidates smiled in good natured resignation. Everybody was pleased with The Call bulletin service, however disappointed some might have been with the verdict of the ballots. INTEREST IN THE WHOLE RACE But the interest did not languish with the determination of the presidential contest. The races for congress, for the bench, for the state legislature and for the amendments to the state constitu tion all served to hold the crowds, and thousands stayed out in the street, scorning the rain, until the bulletins ceased at a late hour. AH agreed, if not by word of mouth at least by gratified expression, that The Call bulletin service was like The Call news service—first and best. TR.

In 1,043 out of 5,377 election districts in the state outside of Philadelphia Taft had 38,645, Wilson 62,032, Roosevelt 62,046. In Philadelphia, with less than half of the returns in, Taft leads Wil son by 14,000 votes and Roosevelt by 11,000.

Their vote was: Graham 47.369. Coffey 44,191, Mo gan v 40,254. Lawlor St«SSS. The struggle for the fourth place was close between Judge William P. Lawlor, incumbent, and Edward P. Shortall, now a police judge, who made a hard fight for the nomination in the primaries. The lead of those two men shifted dur ing the evening. At 11 o'clock, with 200 precincts reported complete, Shortall led Lawlor by 13.411 to 13,150. but the re port of the next 150 precincts that ap peared put Lawlor in the lead over the police judge with 24.883 to 24,285. Law lor continued to gain. Tn the 480 pre cints his vote was 36,535 to 35.521 for Phortall. That gain indicates Lawlor's election. Deasy, sixth in the race, also a police judge, will not figure in the finals by any means. Miss Lucy Goode White, who was nominated by the socialist party, was not admitted to the bar by the ap pellate court and could not have quali fied as a judge, if elected. Pohli, the other candidate, withdrew his name from consideration several weeks ago. ATOLAN CLAIMS LEAD OF 10,000 John I. Nolan, elected to congress from the fifth district, at 11 o'clock last night stated that his majority over Stephen Costello would be from 8,000 to 10,000. "I base these figures," he said, "on the results obtained from the strongholds of Costello, where I have beaten him 2to 1 The districts where I expect to poll the largest votes have not been heard from at this time." AHIO MAY GIVE V WILSON 100,000 CINCINNATI, 0.. Nov. s.—Returns from 1,100 precincts out of the 5,211 in Ohio gave Governor Wilson 74,146; Taft 50,575 and Roosevelt 34.069, mak ing the Wilson plurality 23,571. Figur ing the proportionate gain of Governor Wilson in each 100 precincts tabulated it was estimated that the democratic candidate would receive a plurality In the state of from 100,000 to 110,000 votes. Congressman James Cox of Dayton, it is believed, will receive approximate ly the same plurality for governor, and it is believed virtually the entire demo cratic state ticket will be elected. Of the 22 congressional candidates It is believed all but two democrats were elected. The election of Nicholas Long worth, son in law of Colonel Roosevelt, in the first district, and Otto J. Ren ner <Rep.) in the second district, both comprising the city of Cincinnati, was conceded. President Taft, it is thought, will carry hie home city. Returns from J 64 precincts In the city of Cincinnati gave the president 33,118. against 12.703 for Governor Wil*on f and 4,552 for Colonel Roosevelt.

The early indications were that Roosevelt would carry the state by 100, --000 votes, but later returns reduced that figure. Judge Dunne, democrat of Chicago, appeared to have won the gubernatorial fight with Deneen, republican, second, and Funk, progressive, third; G95 pre cincts out of 4,296 gave Dunne 78.488; Deneen, 47.593, and Funk 4«.T21; 587 out of 1,498 precincts in Chicago showed Dunne, 68,858; Deneen, 39,689; Funk, 17,821; 108 precincts down state gave Dunne, 9,630; Deneep, 7,940; Funk 8,900. The state's attorney race in Cook county caused a surprise on account of the strength shown by Cunnea, the socialist candidate: 472 precincts out of 1,498 showed Hoyne, democrat, lead ing with 38,707, and Cunnea. second, with 38,324. \IEVADAGOES iN TO DEMOCRATS RENO, Nov. s.—Returns from about half the precincts in Nevada show Wil son leading, with Roosevelt second and Taft third; 10."> precincts out of 251 in the state give Wilson l.SfiO, Roosevelt 1,358.

J., Nov. s.—New Jersey has given Wilson a plurality estimated on meager returns at 35,000 to 45,000 over Roosevelt. Returns at midnight showed Taft in third place.
