DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE MORE VOTES
IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE THAN
.TAFT AND ROOSEVELT
COMBINED
WAS BIG LANDSLIDE FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Wilson Carried the East as Well as the South.
Democratic Governors Elected in New
York, Massachusetts and
" Other States.
Like the fellow who ran for sheriff at Holly Springs, Miss., "it all
went one way." I Vas a democratic landslide and Wilson and -Marshall
swept the country. In fact, the republicans and bull moosers were
smothered under a perfect avalanche of democratic votes. It was evi
dent from "the receipt of t the earliest returns last night that Wilson was
elected, and the cry of "Wilson and democracy" was taken up in every
hamlet, town and city and reverberated from one end of the country
to the others. I
The Eagle's facilities for receiving the returns" were complete, and
practically the same bulletins were received here as In the larger cities.
The result was known In Bryan as early (is at any point In the South. A
large crowd assembled at The Eagle office early and manifested the
deept interest In every bulletin as reai. Cheers greeted the bulletins
indicating democratic success, and it was; certainly a good-natured crowd.
Many remained until after 12 o'clock. ,

sive, of whatever alliance, must now lend his full farce and enthusiasm
to the fulfillment of the people's hope, the establishment of the people's

Debs, the socialist candidate, is a warning that the propaganda in favor
of fundamental changes in our constitutional government has formidable
support."

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
By Associated Press.1
New York, Nov. 6. Without affect
ing in the slightest the certainty that
Wilson and Marshall have captured
the electoral vote by an overwhelming
majority, a conservative estimate com
pels the transfer of some states to
the doubtful column. Among these are
Iowa and Minnesota. The ultra con
servatives included Illinois and Penn
sylvania. At the time Wyoming and
South Dakota had not been placed. In
Illinois the heavy Wilson rote outside
of Cook county reduced Roosevelt's
lead to 15,000. '
The estimated total of the electoral
vote is as follows:
Wilson 387.
Roosevelt 99.
Taft 12.
Doubtful, South Dakota, Wyoming,
Iowa and Minnesota, 33 votes.
