(By Associated Pres* '
NEW TORE. Nov. Without affect -
in* in the slightest the certainty that
WHson and Marshall yesterday captured
an overwhelming majority in the elec
toral vote, conservative estimates at 1
p. m. today compelled a transfer to the
doubtful column of some states where
the results had been recorded as cer
tain Amon* these states were lowa,
with thirteen votes, and Minnesota, with
twelve, and ultra-conservatives even in
cluded Illinois, with twenty-nine votes,
and Pennsylvania, with thirty-eijfht At
that hour Wyomin**’s three votes and
South Dakota s five had not been placed.
Heavy reductions in the early reports
of. a large plurality for Roosevelt in
Kansas upset all calculations, so that
at this hour Roosevelt’s lead over Wil
son had narrowed to CSS votes on returns
from about one-fourth of the precincts
In Illinois the heavy Wilson vote out
side of Cook county had reduced Roose
velt's lead to about 15,000 as against
the estimated 100,080 or more given him
last night upon the Chicago returns.
Roosevelt supporters declared at 1 p. tn.
that there was no reason to put Penn
sylvania in the doubtful list, even
though admitted that early reports of
the colonel’s plurality probably had been
exaggerated.

Wilson Is Now Ahead
In Minnesota Returns
'By Associated Pru».'
CHICAGO. Nov. s—What on early re
turns last night appeared to be a land
slide fir Colonel Roosevelt at 4 o’clock
this morning had narrowed to 8.000 plu
rality over Wilson and almost half of
the state was still to be heard from.
The results from 2 4BC precincts out of
4£N gave Roosevelt 238,333; Wilson. 230.-
489. and Taft. 141.421.
On the face of the first returns the
Progressive party managers predicted a
plurality of at least 100,000 votes in Illi
nois for the colonel. His Cook county
vote was very strong and it was this
that kept him tn the lead when Gov
ernor Wilson began to make rapid strides
In the down-state districts.
E. F. Dunne, the Democratic guber
natorial candidate, is generally conced
ed to have won by- a plurality of at
least 60.0® The entire Democratic state
ticket was swept into office.
Two of the big surprises in the re
sult were the defea* of former Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon by O'Hair. Democrat,
in the Eighteenth district, and the
strength of the Socialist vote. In Cook
county. Cunnea. Socialist, ran ahead of
the Republican candidate for state's at
torney. Two Socialists were elected to
the legislature.
It was pronounced early that William
E. McKjnley. President Taft's campaign
manager, had been defeated in his race
to succeed himself in congress

from all corporate and’private influ
ences. devoted to justice and pro
gress.
HONEST BUSINESS NEED NOT
\ FEAR.
"There is absolutely nothing for
the honest and enlightened business
men to fear. No man whose busi
ness is conducted without violations
of the rights of free competition and
without such private understanding
and secret aliances as violate
the principle of * our law and
the policies all wholesome commerce

right is possible. My own ambi

may be permitted to be the frank
spokesman of the nation’s thought

impersonal atmosphere for the last
three months reading about myself,
reading that I was to be elected, and
now I scarcely can believe It's true.”
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters assisted

Federal Officials, Who Draw
This Sum, Will Probably.
Lose Out
Seventy-two V loosan< L no hundred and
twenty-five dollars’ worth of comfortable
jobs are Wednesday slipping through the
fingers of Republican office holders.
These federal officials who will be re
placed by Democrats are:
Hugh L. McKee, postmaster, salary,
>6,000.
Henry S. Jackson, collector of internal
revenues, salary, $3,375.
M. O. Markham, surveyor of customs,
saTary, about $3,000.
F. Carter Tate, United States district
attorney, salary, $5,000.
John W. Henley, assistant United
States district attorney, salary, $2,400.
E. A. Angier, assistant United States
district attozfiey, m*lary, $2,150.
’ Walter H. Johnson, United States mar
shal, salary, $5,000.
An Atlanta man will be appointed post
master. Other parts of the state will
furnish the other Democratic office hold
ers. But speculation as to who they will
be but the merest speculation.
It is a strong probability, however, that
the Taft Republicans will ask the presi
dent to remove Walter H. Johnson, Unit
ed States marshal, and Carter Tate,
United States district attorney, before
Mr. Taft leaves office. They charge that
Mr. Johnson turned against them in this
election. In case Mr. Ttate is removed,
C. P. Goree, the attorney, probably will
be appointed to fill his unexpired term.
None of the Republican leaders had
anything to say Wednesday morning.
They deemed that a silent philosophy was
the better course.
TAFT AND T. R.
congratulate
'GOV.' WILSON
Colonel Roosevelt sent the following
telegram to Governor Wilson last night:
"The American people, by a great
majority, have conferred upon you the
highest honor in their gift. I congrat
ulate you thereon.
(Signed)
‘THEODORE ROOSEVELt.”
President Taft sent the following
message of congratulations:
“CINCINNATI. Ohio, Nov. 6.—Hon.
Woodrow Wilson, Princeton, N. J.,: I
cordially congratulate you on elec
tion and extend to you my best wishes
for a successful administration.
“WILLIAM TAFT.”
Governor Wilson’s first public state
ment when notified of his election was
as follows:
“A great cause has triumphed. Every
Democrat and every true progressive of
whatever alliance must now lend his
full force and enthusiasm to the fulfil
ment of the people’s hope—the estab
lishment of the people's rights.”
WHAT BRYAN SAYS.
William J. Bryan, expressing his
pleasure at the election of Governor
Wilson, said:
“I am happier than Governor Wilson,
for his joy is repressed by a sense of
responsibility, while I am happy and
free.
“My confidence in Governor Wilson
has grown with acquaintance and I feel
sure that he will -ive up to expecta
tions. I believe he listens to his con
science.”
