South Is Bitter Disappointment to the Bull Moose
CURRY WINS BY
HEAVY MAJORITY
Nearly Ail the Democratic Candidates in
Governor Johnson's Home County Elected
By Big Margins
Lμ Angela might not exceed K..00n
and that his plurality in Alameda coun-
I to 7,000.
The early partial and Incomplete re
turns showed the Baoet surprising up
sets in some of the counties that the
progressive party managers relied on
to take them down to the Tehachapi
with something like an even break.
Santa Clara and Fresno counties were
the big surprises to the progressive
party managers.
The early partial and incomplete
counties indicated that in communities
that were confidently relied upon to
give Roosevelt a lead of at least 6,000.
Wilson was running neck and neck
with the progressive party candidates,
and the returns available at midnight
indicated that Wilson might carry both
counties by slender margins.
In northern California Humboldt and
Alpine were seemingly the only coun
ties that had • r.dslide to
Wilson.
Below the T« the partial and
incomplete returns indicated that Wil
son had sunly carried San Diego coun
ty, and the available returns from Riv
erside. Orange. Imperial and L.os An
geles indicated that Roosev.-lt could not
pome north to the Tehachapi with a
lead long enough to offset the tremen
dous edge Wilson rolled up north of the
pass.
WII.SOX I.KVD MAY BE 2-V>Oo
At 11 o'clock Chairman J. O. Davis
of the democratic state central com
mittee claimed the state by 25,000.
Chairman Ryan of the progressive com
mittee insisted that the complete re
turns would show Roosevelt in the
mcd to define his claim

PLURALITY GIVEN
r AS 8,000 OR 9,000
The Associated |Preee at 2 a. m. this
morning makes the following state
ment:
"Tabulation of returns from Califor
nia counties up to a. m. indicated
that Woodrow Wilson had carried the
state by between S.OCO and 9,000.
"Roosevelt will probably come to the
Tehachapi with about 14,000 plurality,
but almost without exception the north
ern counties of the state gave plural
ities to Wilson, ranging from a few
votes in Yuba county to 8,000 in San
Francisco county.
"The indicated plurality for Wilson
north of the Tehachapi,, if tlie present
ratio Is kept up, will be in the neigh
borhood of 23,000.
CULTURE TO RULE
IN WHITE HOUSE
Wife and Three Daughters of
President ESect Are Charm
ing Personalities
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
NEW YORK, Nov. r>.—With Governor
Wilson's removal from Princeton to
Washington, the White House will be
come the home of a charming mother
and three cultured daughters.
Clever and talented, each with some
jtxed vo nation In life, fond of enter
taining- ;<nd of entertainment without
Loins abfurhed in and by society, there
is siiii- to bn four years In which ra
tional and gracious southern hospital
ity will lie dispensed at the White
House.
Mrs. Wilsnn passed most of her
youth in Georgia. She la an artist. Her
friends say she undoubtedly would have
made a great name for herself if she
had chosen to continue her work along
dose lines in preference to marrying
the president elect,
Miss Margaret Wcodrow Wilson is
26 years old. She was born in Gaines
ville. Ga. Miss Jessie Woodrow Wil
son is a year younger. She, also, was
born In Gainesville. Miss Kleanor Ran
dolph Wilson, the other daughter, was
born in Middletown, Conn. None of
the Wilson girls'went to school after
they were 10 years old. Their studies
have been directed entirely by their
father and mother.
Miss Margaret AVilson has devoted
most of her mature years to the study,
of music. She has a One s-oprano voice
which has bfeen cultivated under the
tutelage <>f several competent teach
ers. She usually spends the winter
In Now York with the purpose of pros
ecuting her art. She Is fond of all out
door sports; plays tennis, basket ball
and rides with grace. She is very fond
of dancing.
Mif>s Jessie Wilson is perl)aps the
most serious of the three daughters.
She Is a member of the national board
of the Y. M. (J. A., and Is very active
in the work of the Institution. She Is
a Phi Betta Kappa of the woman's
college of Baltimore.
She is the executive of the family,
taking a keen interest in her father's
campaign for thp presidency. It is
said he accepted her judgment on
many matters of importance relative
to it. She, like Miss Margaret. Is
fond of sports, being an adept at ten
nis, riding and swimming.
Miss Eleanor Wilson—"Nell," as she
is affectionately called by members of
her family—received her later tutelage
under the care of a governess. She
has inherited her mother's talent for
painting.

"CALL" FLASHES
NEWS TO CITY
Entire Populace Gets News of Winner as
Thousands of Arcs Go Out Simul
taneously in All Sections
San Francisco winked an eye and
j the people knew that Wilson had won.
jAt a word from The Call 3,850 street
■ lamps in all parts of the city went out
I simultaneously at exactly 8:19 last
; nig/ht. For 30 seconds there was dark-
I ncs.«. but darkness that carried no
! f ?looin to the hearts of the thousands
of jubilant voters who had marked
j their ballots for Woodrow Wilson.
The signal system arranced by The
Call worked without a hitch. Nothing
like it had ever been attempted here
before, and nothing ever spread the
news of an election result with such
rapidly. A second before 8:19 and the
street lamps were burning brightly.
The watchers. In their homes and the
crowds on the rain spattered pave
ments were waiting expectantly. The
1 issue was still in doubt, the fate of
the nation, so to speak, still hung: in
the air. Men talked loudly to bolster
up falling hopes or discussed the
chances of their favorite candidates in
low tones.
They knew, from the announcement
made in The Call yesterday, that if the
lights went out once it meant victory
for Wilson. If they blinked twice the
winks were In favor of the big bull
moose, and if three intervals of dark
ness came in succession the victory lay
with Taft.
WHOM 3 CITY GETS FLASH
This was the situation just a second
I before 8:19 last night. What would
i the street lights do? How many times
j would they wink? The youngest child
j whose mother had allowed it up with
J her at the window understood The
Ckll'e unique signal plan and the
thiV)ng in the rain was waiting.
Of a sudden the lights went out.
That was all, but for the next half
minute those darkened arcs held a
j secret that all San Francisco was
straining Its eyes and eating its heart
out to know. Would they light up and
go out again, or light up and stay lit.
Would it be Wilson or Roosevelt, or
throe outs for Taft?
Those 20 seconds seemed an hour. San
Francisco held its breath. Then, as
suddenly as they went out the arcs
shone forth again, and more significant j
still, they kept on shining. If they
had gone out again *it would have
been Roosevelt, but they didn't. They j
just continued to cast a white lipht ;
through the rain, the spotlight of Wil
son's success.
Best of all. everybody saw The Call's j
signal. Any man or woman who was j
anywhere near a street light shared |
the news with the whole city. It was [
a universal signal that cast its shadow
on the sky and on the streets. The
most distant outlying districts as well
as the people down town saw it and !
caught its meaning. And all about the I
bay. wherever the glow of the city's J
myriad of lights crti be seen reflected 1
In the heavens, that brief interval of!
j darkness told the story of the great j
national contest.
