dietlortw are that Wilson will carry
Oregon by 15,000, with Roosevelt sec
ond and Taft a poor third. It is a

Taft. 30,000. Owing to the huge j^ze
of the ballot the count will not be con
cluded before noon tomorrow. On ac
count of the difficulty of recruiting

apart from the tickets. For congress
Hawley and Sinnott, Republicans, seem
certain of election.
WASHINGTON
Beattie, Nov. 5.—The Progressives
late tonight claim that Roosevelt had

publican and Democratic campaign
managers practically concede the state
to Roosevelt but by a much smaller
plurality.

governorship between Hodge, Hay and

CALIFORNIA
San Francisco, Nov. 5.—With re
turns from all the northern half of
the state cut off by a storm, and this
section admittedly strongly Democrat
ic. every indication at 11:30 o'clock
was that Roosevelt pluralities south
of the Tehachapi mountains would be
insufficient to offset Wilson's northern
lead and that the state would go for
the next president.
Los Angeles, the Roosevelt strong
hold, by all available ligures will give
Roosevelt only about 7000 plurality.
San Francisco will more than offset
this and the failure of the Progressives
throughout the remainder of the south
to poll their expected vote makes the
Wilson chances seem most bright.
State Progressive Chairman Ryan
has practically admitted defêat, but
declared he will not finally hoist the
white flag until the last ballot is
counted. Practically all impartial ob
servers, however, believe Wilson has
won.
It probably will he late tomorrow
before any definite figures can be
gleaned on congressmen, although it Is
probable that the Incumbent will be
rc-elocOod.

that Roosevelt will carry the state by

rality which he declared will reach 30,
000. Returns from southern California
at that hour have however, indicated
that Roosevelt's majority there will
fall far short of that figure.
Los Angeles, Nov. 5.—At II p. m. It
is indicated !>v incomplete returns from
all over southern California that Roose
velt will carry the south but will have
a plurality so small It will probably be
offset by the San Francisco Democratic
vote. Eleven o'clock returns from 440
incomplete precincts mil. of 455 in Los

25,515, Debs 8763, Taft 1110.

man Ryan of the Progressive party at

tions are that the annexation amend
ment is defeated In this county. The

and neck. Donahue and Ogden are
elected superior judges. i

running neck and neck.

California falling far short of that an
ticipated by Progressive managers, and

at the last hour to capture the state.

son landslide" In flaring headlines were
distributed broadcast here and In other

make a great deal of difference In the
result.

ity I sincerely hope It may be. The
vote for Mr. Roosevelt, the third party
candidate, and for Mr. Debs, the So
cialist candidate,' is a warning that
their propaganda In favor of funda
mental changes In our constitutional
representative government has favor
able support. While the experiment
of a change in the tariff is being car
ried out by the Democratic adminis
tration, It behooves Republicans to
gather again to the party standard and
pledge anewtheir faith In their party
principles and to organize again to de
fend constitutional government hand
ed down to ns by our fathers.
"We must make clear to the young
men of the country who have been
weaned away from sound principles of
government by promises of reform Im
possible of accomplishment.
"Without compromising our princi
ples we must convince and win them
l ack to the Republican party, and we
must reinforce our ranks with consti
tutton-lovlng Democrats. We favor
every step of progress toward perfect
cquqality of opportunity and the rid
ding of society of Injustice.
"But we know that all progress
worth making Is possible with our
present form of government, and that
to sacrifice that which Is of the high
est value in our governmental struc
ture for undefined and impossible re
forms is the wildest folly.
"We must face the danger with a
clear knowledge of what it is. The
Republican party is equal to the task.
It has had no nobler cause. Let us
close ranks and march forward to do
oattle fur the right and the true."
