WILSON, MARSHALL, AND FERGUSSON
A reversal of public sentiment which struck the United States on Tuesday
with the irresistible force of a tidal wave, resulted in an overwhelming victory
for Wilson and Marshall. It is Known that the democratic nominees have 387
of the 531 electoral votes. Roosevelt has 89 votes, Taft-12, with the states of
Iowa, Wyoming, Minnesota, South Dakota and Kansas still in doubt.
The tidal wave carried in also many democratic Governors, Congressmen
and Senators. Of the 435 members of the next House, 282 are democrats, 116 republicans and 12 pro
gressives, as shown by the latest returns. It is said that the democrats will have a majority in the
Senate also.

that Fergusson is elected by
about 4,0(K plurality. The bond

carried by a majority of about
5,000. The constitutional amend
ment, whereby it was proposed

ing clause as a requisite for hold
ing office, was defeated by some
8,500 votes.
