ed, indications point toward a plurality
of more than 100,000 for Gov. Wilson in
the Presidential election, while the Dem
ocrats have returned nine Democratic
Congressmen. In the Tenth district in
complete returns show that John W.

over his Progressive opponent.
In the Eleventh district the fight be
tween Caleb" Powers for re-election and
II. II. Seavy, Progressive is close, with
the Hull Moose candidate claiming vic

party surprised the Democratic and Re

In the Fifth district it was not until
after the final returns were in that it
was found that Swager Sherley, Demo
crat, had received a narrow plurality of
1,200 votes over II. I. Pox.

Wilson 34,369, Roosevelt 23,914,. Taft
3,554. For Congress, Swager Sherley
24,693; Ashcraft, Republican, 3,485; for
Progressive, 23,477.

TEDDY GETS ILLINOIS

Coast to Coast ,
ted at 35,000 to 40,000 over Koosevelt. Taft, who
ran third, polled n vote in Now Jersey less than
half of Gov. Wilson.
O wincr to the length of the ballot, which de
layed tho counting beyond hope of complete re
turns beforo Wednesday. Florida was uncertain
grounds as to the extent of Wilson's victory, but
not as to tho fact of it. It was estimated that the
ontirc Democratic ticket won by a majority of
20,000.
With the annexing of JRhodo Island to Wil
son's column, by later returns, and with tho close
ness in New Hampshire, it seemed probablo that
Now England entire, with tho exception of Ver
mont, had gone for Wilson.
Massachusetts For Wilson.
For tho Hrst time in its history, Massachu
setts will givo its electoral vote to a Democrat.
Both Massachusetts htid New York elected Demo
cratic Governors, Sulzer in Now York, and Foss
in Massachusetts.
By midnight both President Taft and Col.
Roosevelt had conceded Gov. Wilson's election.
Early in the night there seemed small reason
to doubt that Wilson would carry, besides the
"Solid South," Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Now York,
West Virginia, Indiana, Montana, Now Jersey
and New Mexico, and later returns clinched the
Democratic victory in theso States.
President Taft Congratulates
Gov. Wilson on the Victory
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 5, President Taft to
night sent telegram to Gov. Wilson and Chairman
Hilles of the Republican national committee, as fol
lows: -"Hon.
