ROOSEVELT HAS
610 FLURAIITV
WILL
PROBABLY REACH THE REC
ORD-BREAKING FIGURE OF
1,500,000.
HAS 343 ELECTORAL VOTES
MISSOURI AND PROBABLY MARY
LAND REPUBLICAN BY SMALL
MAJORITY.
1
MAKE GAINS IN CONGRESS
REPUBLICANS ARE ASSURED OF
AN INCREASED MA
JORITY.
Theodore Roosevelt has been elect
ed president of the United States by
a record-breaking plurality of more
than 1,600,000. With Missouri and
probably Maryland in the Republican
column, he will have 343 electoral
votes as against 133 for Alton B. Park
er. The nearest approach to this vote
was in 1896, when William McKinley
received a plurality approximating
850,000, and in 1872, when Grant re
ceived 762,991 plurality. Gra.it ex
ceeded in electoral record in defeat
ing Horace Greeley.
As a dramatic climax to the sensa
tional majorities given him, came
President Roosevelt's formal an
nouncement that he would not be a
candidate for re-election.
The interest now centers in Mary
land, where the vote is exceedingly
close. Tho first estimates placed it in
the Repu j'.lcan column by a small plu
rality, but later returns have greatly
decreased this plurality and it may go
either way by a margin of a hundred
votes or less. It will take the official
count to definitely determine the re
sult.
Almost complete returns from Mis
souri place that state in the Republic
an column by about 15,000 plurality,
so far as presidential electors are con
cerned, but Joseph W. Folk, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, has been
elected by a good majority. Republic
ans claim the Missouri legislature on
joint ballot, which will insure the elec
tion of a Republican senator to suc
ceed Senator Cockrell.
Pennsylvania gave Roosevelt prob
ably the highest plurality ever given
a presidential candidate by any state.
Unofflci&l figures place it at 494,525.
Ohio gave Roosevelt a plurality of
approximately 250,000.
The "solid South" was broken by
the defection of Missouri, and some
Republicans in the South hold the
opinion that the solid South hence
forth will exist In history alone.
The banner state for Roosevelt is
Pennsylvania, with close to 500,000
plurality. New York gave the presi
dent approximately 174,000 votes more
than it did Parker. New York city re
turns are still incomplete, but the
amazement over the result has not sub
sided. Parker carried Greater New
York by nearly 41,000 votes. Illinois
won second place In the stampede to
Roosevelt by giving a Republican plu
rality of more than 292,000. Chicago
also won second place,«next to Phila
delphia, by giving 103,000 plurality.
President Roosevelt ran ahead of his
ticket In many states, notably In Mass
achusetts, where he secured a plural-
CELEBRATE TAFT'S ARRIVAL.
Panama Manifests Friendly Feeling
Toward Government.
Panama, Nov. 12. Any ill feeling
that may have existed between the
Panama republic and the United
States on account of differences over
the canal zone affairs seems to be dis
appearing. Panamans are preparing
to celebrate the arrival of Secretary
of War Taft, who, with his friends, it
is the desire of this government, will
be the guests of -the republic during
their stay.

an candidate for governor was defeat:
ed by 35,000. yjlf
Chairman Babcoclrof the-ftepublfe
an congressional committee -has been
returned to congress from Wisconsin
by a greatly reduced plurality, but
Chairman Cowherd of tho Democratic
congressional committee was defeated
in Missouri, where the Republicans
now have eight congressmen instead of
one. Roosevelt has,carried Colorado
by probably 15,000, but the governor
ship went to the Democrats.
Indiana went Republican by about
60,000 plurality, and tho Republlcaus
gained two congressmen.
West Virginia gave Roosevelt about
25,000 majority, and the Republicans
elected their ..state ticket and will con
trol the legislature.
In the Southern states carried by
Judge Parker he received the usual
Democratic pluralities.
If the official canvass gives Mary
land's electoral vote to Roosevelt, the
vote will stand as follows:

President Roosevelt is assured of
the co-operation of a Republican con
gress. The present majority In that
body is thirty-four, and it is certain
that this figure will be more than dou
bled. In practically all districts the
Republicans have held their own,
while in some insignificant instances
the Democrats have lost.
Returns from the Southern states
show that they have returned the
usual Democratic majorities on'con
gressmen as on other candidates.
The states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Texcs all
send solid delegations, while those
from Kentucky and Virginia probably
each will send only one Republican
representative, making no change
from the present complexion.
It is probable that the Republican
majority in the senate will show little
if any change from the present voting
strength there. Of the ninety mem
bers of that body, fifty-seven are Re
publicans and thirty-three Democrats.

John A. Johnson of St. Peter, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
was elected over Robert C. Dunn by a
plurality of more than 10,000. T,he re
turns from several of the counties are
still incomplete, and until the oflicial
canvass is made Johnson's exact plu
rality will not be known.
President Roosevelt carried the
state by about. 125,000. There is scarce
ly a county in the state that he did
not carry, and several precincts
Judge Parker did not get a vote.
The balance of the Republican
state ticket was elected by good ma
jorities. State Treasurer Block and
P. E. Hanson, secretary of state, are
having a close race tor the largest plu
rality on the state ticket. From the
incomplete returns it is impossible to
tell who is ahead.
The state legislature will contain
only twelve Democratic members at
the session which will open in Jan
uary. As a result of the election last
•Tuesday 107 Republicans have been
returned to the house, and the twelve
Democratic members will make up the
total membership of 119.
The results of this year's election
shows a Democratic loss ol three
members. With fifteen Democratic
members in the house at the last ses
sion, the contests this year showed
Democratic losses in five districts,
and Democratic gams in two districts.
The fourteenth, twenty-seventh, thir
tieth, thirty-fifth and thirty-seventh
districts were lost to the Democrats
this year, while in the tenth and ilnr
ty-eighth the Democrats won over
former Republican incumbents.
BLOWS UP THE MAYOR'S HOME.
The Cause Is Said to Be the Enforce
ment of the Law.
Dulifth, Nov. 15. An attempt to
blow up the dwelling of Capt.. Marcus
Ij.
Fay, mayor of Virginia, with dyna
mite, was made at 1 o'clock yesterday
morning. The family were all bed
and asleep. The rear part of the
dwelling was wrecked, but none of the
inmates was injured. Mayor Fay has
made himself disliked by his strict en
forcement of the laws governing the
sale of liquor and gambling. The socitl
evil has also been handled very strict
•ly.. The home of Mayor Fay is one of
the finest on the Mesaba range, and
was completed a year ago. It is said
that Mayor Fay has been unusually
strict with the saloon element of Vir
ginia since the death cf his son
Charles last summer. He was a very
bright and enterprising young man,
and his father was much affected by
his death.
TWO BURNED TO DEATH.
Many Fatalities Expected at a Result
of Fire in Washington Residences.
Washington, Nov. 15.—Fire yester
day morning in a row of houses at
Twelfth and streets buriied one man
to death, caused another to jump from
a second-story window and break both
legs, while two women who jumped
each broke a leg. The fire spread
with great rapidity, several iccupants
of the buildings bcrely escaping with
their lives. The property loss was
small. It Is thought several dead
bodies may be In the ruins, all the in
mates not having been accounted for.
WOMAN BURNS TO DEATH.
Her Clothes Ignited While Trying to

HOME FOR ROOSEVELT.
Country Home in Virginia May Be
Bought by President.
Washington, Nov. 15. President
Roosevelt has been contemplating for
some time the purchase of a comtry
house Virginia about three miles
south of Washington. It is on tke line
of a trolley road now under coasferuc
tion and near the estate of Surgeon
General Rixey of the navy. At the
White House it was said that while
efforts had been made by the presi
dent to buy the estate, Mr. Roosevelt
had not reached any conclusion. The
owner of the land wants more than
$100,000 for his property. Since the
report got abroad in the neighborhood
that the president would purchase a
home there property has doubted in
price.
