ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 9.—Thomas R
Watson wires to the Atlanta News:
*T am going to New York tomorrow for
a political consultation. I will address
the people at Thompson on Saturday.
November 29, and will then outline
my purpose and plan.”
The News prints this across the top
of its first page.
It also prints a special from some
one. In Chicago saying that Hearst,
Watson and others were going to meet
In New York in a few days, to lay
plans for the '‘reorganization” of the
democratic party.’
John Temple Graves endorses the
plan In an edltoral four columns wide.
With characteristic hlfalutin language
he rushes Into the breach, as it were,
nnd seizes the leading strings. The
idea seems to be that Hearst, Watson,
Bryan and Graves are now called on to
do the saving act for the Democracy,
nnd the job Is dead easy.

The statement that he would go to
New York for such a purpose was
made by Melvin G. Palllser, manager

disastrous In this campaign and I. as

BALTIMORE. Nov. 9.—On the face
of the unofficial returns of the votes
cast on Tuesday, received here up to
a late hour tonight. Maryland Is Re
publican on the presidential ticket by
a small majority. An official count
may be required to decide the result
Thee Republican congressmen—
Frank C. Walchter, Sydney E. Mudd
and George A. Pearre—were surely re
elected by material majorities. Three
Democrats—Thomas A. Smith, J.
C. Talbot (re-elected) an,d John Gill—
were returned.
Congressman W. H. Jackson (Rep.),
of the First district, claims that frauds
or tricks were used In the district,
and while he admits that the count
of the ballots show that Smith was
elected, says that he will contest the
seat before the house of representa
tives. Returns from St. Marys coun
ty show a peculiar result. \ The fig
ures for the county give Roosevelt
and Fairbanks 1,166, Parker and Da
vis 1,223, while Mudd (Rep.) received
1,562, and his Democratic opponent Is
credited with only 1,102. The falling
off of the vote for Roosevelt in the
state is largely due to the result in
that county, which is familiarly known
as "the black belt.”
State Chairman Hanna, Collector of
Customs William F. Stone of Balti
more, who was sergeant-at-arms at
the Chicago convention, and other
prominent Republicans still claim that
Maryland rolled up at least 1,600 for
the presidential ticket, while Chair
man Vandiver of the Democratic state
central committee and other leaders
of that party aver that the electoral
vote of the state will be cast for Par
ker and Davis.
At a late hour both parties claimed
Maryland, the Republicans by 1,500,
The Democratic state managers said
the state would cast its electoral vote
for Parker and Davis. ,

VERY CLOSE CALL
Republican Congressional Chairman
Narrowly Missed Being Left Out in
the Cold,
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 9.—The result
Of the election In Wisconsin shows that
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket and
carried the state by a plurality esti
mated at between 60,000 and 75,000;
that Governor LaFollette has been
elected by a plurality of about 60.000,
and that the congressional complexion
Remains unchanged from two years
ago. The legislature, which Is to elect
a United States senator to succeed Jos
fcph V. Quarles, Is largely Republican.
One of the surprises in the election
was the big Increase In the vote of
the Social-Democratic party. Four
years ago that party polled 4,458 votes
In Milwaukee county, two years ago
10,704: and In this election 18,120. The
Socialist-Democrats elected four as
semblymen and one senator to the leg
islature.
In the legislature Chairman W.
Connor, of the LaFollette state central
committee, claims there will be
members pledged to cony out the
measures advocated by Governor La
toilette. Chairman Goldin of the "stal
wart” Republican faction claims that
the "stalwarts” and Democrats com
bined will control a majority of each
house and he predicts that It United
States Senator Quarles la not re-elect
ed the legislature will probably find It
Self In a* deadlock.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the
election was the narrow margin on
which Congressman Joe. W. Babcock
pulled through, his plurality of 8,000
t*~n years ago being cut to about 300
this year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--President
Roosevelt was overwhelmed with con
gratulatlons today. They were present
ed by many people and were received
by mall and by telegraph from every
state and from almost every city In the
country.
The president was In exuberant splr-
s. Official business was nearly Im
possible of transaction by the pres!
dent today. Scores of people called on
him to extend their felicitations upon
the result of the election. While ho ra
diated good feeling, President Roose
velt was perfectly calm and undemon
atratlvO. The president said today he
fait that his announcement that he
would not accept another nomination
would prevent, during »Le next four
years, any misinterpretation of his ac
tions. personal or official. He express
ed himself as being In entire sympathy
with the evident belief of the Ameri
can people In the undesirability of
third term for a president and he,
therefore, had made his statement as
unequivocal as possible.
Non*Partisan Delegation.
Shortly after noon, a delegation of
the prominent residents of Washing
ton was received by the prealdent. The
delegation was entirely non-partisan,
James L. Norris, the Democratic na
tlonal committeeman for the diatrict,
and other Democrats joining In the
cordial congratulations to Mr. Roose
velt. One of the callers on the presi
dent was Mrs. Robert Anderson, wid
ow of Major Robert Anderaon, the hero
of Fort Sumter. As she was scarcely
able to leave her carriage. Prealdent
Roosevelt went to the main entrance to
the executive offices to greet her. She
presented to him a bunch of beautiful
pink roses, the card bearing the In
scription "With my warmest, wannest
congratulations.” The president chat
ted cordially with Mrs. Anderson, ex
pressing to her his sincere apprecia
tion of her call and her congratula
tions.
The president will be given a sere
nade by the Spanish war veterans on
Monday night.

Some Things It Must Do, and Somo

Acute P!:zse of the Present Economic
Situation.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 9.—Wm. J.
Bryan tonight gave out an extended
statement concerning yesterday’s elec
tion, which is Intended to serve as his
comment on the result, and as an an
swer to reports connecting him with a
movement looking to the formation of
new party.
Mr. Bryan said he would not at
tempt to deny all the reports circulat
ed as to his future political action, but
would let his statement servo to ex
plain his position. He says:
"The defeat of Judge Parker should
not be, considered a personal one. He
as well as he could under the clr
cumstances; he was the victim of un
favorable conditions and of a mistaken
party policy. He grew In popularity
as the campaign progressed and ex
pressed himself more and more strong
ly upon the trust question, but could
not overcome the heavy odds Against
him.
The so-called conservative Demo
crats charged the leafts of 1895 and
1900 to the party's position on the
money question and Insisted that a vic
tory could bo won by dropping the
coinage question entirely.
Verdict Unanimous.
"The re-organizors ar® In complete
control of the party,' they planned the
campaign and carried It on according
to their own views, and the verdict
against their plan Is a unanimous one.
Purely silver cannot be blamed for this
defeat, for the campaign was run on a
gold basis. Neither can the defeat bo
charged to emphatic condemnation of
the trusts, for the trusts were not os-
SAlled as vigorously this year as they
were tour years ago. It Is evident that
the campaign did not turn upon the
question of Imperialism, and it Is not
fair to consider the result ns a person
al victory for the president, although
his administration was the subject ol
criticism.
"The result was duo to the fact that
the Democratic party attempted to be
conservative In the presence of condi
tions which demand radical remedies
It sounded a partial retreat when It
should have ordered a charge all Along
the line. The Democratic party has
nothing to gain by catering to organ
ized and predatory wealth. It must
not only do without such support but
it con strengthen Itself by Inviting the
open and emphatic opposition of these
elements. The campaign Just closed
shows that It Is as Inexpedient from
the standpoint of policy as »t Is wrong
from the standpoint of principle to at
tempt any conciliation of the Industrial
and financial despots who are gradual
ly getting control of all the avenues of
wealth. The Democratic party. If It
hopes to win success must take the side
of the plain common people.”

8outh Carolina's Majority.
CHARLESTON. 8. C., Nov. •.—Re
turns are very slow, but safe estimate
places the vote In South Carolina
Democratic 60,000 to 60,000, Republi
can 5,000 to 6,000.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9.—With the elec
tion returns still incomplete the plu-
I|ty of President Roosevelt in the na
tion. according to all Indications to
night will exceed l.r»00,000—the great
est plurality ever given an American
candidate. The nearest approach to
this vote was in 1896, when McKinley
received a plurality approximating
850,000, and In 1S72 when Grant re
ived 762,991 plurality.
Tonight the Interest centers In ‘Mis
souri and Maryland. Late returns in
dicate that th** former state Is In the
Republican column so far as presiden
tial electors are concerned, but that
Joseph W. Folk, the Democratic can
didate. hat been elected governor.
In Maryland the presidential vote
will' probably be cant tor President
Roosevelt. Late returns tonight indi
cate that Thomas A. Smith (Demo
crat), has been elected to congress In
the first diatrict by 450 plurality. Con
gressman Jackson of this district to
night. however, puts forward a claim
of trick-ballots nnd fraud and says he
wfil contest the election.
In tm other states it is simply a
question of plurality.
Solid South Broken.
The "Solid .South" was broken by
thfe probable defection of Missouri—
this section of the country usually
having thirteen stateB in the Demo
cratic column. The figures tonight
show but twelve states, with 133 votes
for Judge Parker.
- Prealdent Rooiievelt carried all the
Northern states—swept-them In fact—
and tonight he had 313 electoral votes.
The banner state i.< Pennsylvania.
Twenty-four hours after the polls
closed the returns from this state In
dicated that Roosevelt’s plurality
would reach 486,000. Next came Illi
nois, where the president polled ap
proximately 225,000 more votes than
did Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roose
velt 200.000 nml New York 174,000.
The New York city returns are still
Incomplete, but the amazement
the result hns not subsided. Judge
Parker carried Greater New York by
only 41,000 votes.
In general the situation Is chiefly in
terestlng tonlgiy because- of the fact that
tho tjekets in many I»,t. state
cut. President IuibMvdf ran »h**,*d Of
ills ticket In many localities, notably In
Massachusetts, where he secured a plu
rality of *6,000 votes, while tho Republican
candidate for governor was defeated by
*6,000. In that state tho legislature Is
Republican and tho entire Republican
ticket, with the exception of governor,
wag elected. In Missouri, circumstances
are. similar.
In Nebraska, the definite statement
that the legislature Is Republican disposes
of tho statement that William J. Brynn
had nsplratlons for a United State* sen-
itorship. In thai atute, too, the gover
norship Is In doubt, and It will require of.
Hal returns to determine who Is elected.
Roth sides claim a victory.
There Is a curious situation In Minneso
ta. where Roosevelt secured 126,000 plu
rality. but where a Democratic governor
and n Republican lieutenant-governor
wore elected. The election or a Demo
cratic governor Is the second In the his
tory of the state.
Chairman Bobcock or the Republican
congressional committee luis been re
turned to congress from Wisconsin, 1 but
Chairman Cowherd of the Democratic
congressional committee waa defeated in
Missouri.
The situation In Colorado presented an
Interesting phase tonight. Roosevelt has
carried the state by probably 16,000. but
the governorship Is still In doubt, both
sides claiming a victory.

In charge of his campaign work and
declared that the people will soon
realize that "the tariff fed trusts are
absorbing the weal'll of the nation."
He said that when that tlVnes comes
the people will turn to the Democratic

Parker says he shall never aeek

ter follows:
The telegraph office at Rosemount
lodge wun dismantled tonight after the

tonight that his plans for the future
wore not definitely made but that soon
lie would bo In harness ngnln. It Is
generally believed here that he will
engage in the practice of law in New

well established firm.
Following Is Judge Parker’s letter:
The Letter.
E8OPU8. N. Y., Nov. 9.—To
Democracy of the nation:
Our thanks are du» to the members
of the national committee and to tho
executtvo committee In charge of the
campaign for most unselfish, capable
and brilliant party service. All that it
possible for men to do they did
but our difficulty was beyond the reach
of party managers.
am inoat grateful to them nnd wish
In this general way to extend
thanks to the workers, us well ns the
rank and file nil over the country,
know how hnrd they struggled against
overwhelming odds, nnd 1 only wish
I could take ench one by the hand nnd
thank him. Deeply na I regretted
leaving the bench at tho time of It, In
the presence of overwhelming defeat,
I do not lament it. 1 thought it was
my duty. In the light of my present
Information I am now even more con
lldent that 1 did right. I shall
never seek n nomination for public of
flee, but 1 shall to tho best of my ablll
ty serve the party that has honored
me, and through the party serve my
country.
The party has In the near future a
great mission. Before long the people
will realize that the tariff fed trusts
and Illegal combinations are absorbing
the weulth of the nation.
No Republican Aid,
Then they will wish to throw off
these leeches, but the Republican party
will not aid them to do It, for Its
leaders appreciate too well the uses
to which the monies of tho trusts can
be put In political campaigns.
When that lime comes and come It
Will, the people will turn to the Demo,
crstic party for relief, and the party
should be ready—rendy with an or
gunlzatlon of putrlotlc citizens covering
every election district who are willing
to work for the love of the cause—an
organization supported by as many
town, city, county and state officers as
we are able to elect In the meantime.
We found this canvass with every
Northern, Western and Eastern state,
save one, In Republican control. This
gave to that party a large army of of-
flce-holder*, reaching into every ham
let, many of whom gladly followed the
examples set for them by the members
of the president's cabinet In ^devoting
their time and sKvIces to the party.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Nov. 9.—
After overruling flvs motions for
trial Judgo George Watts Morris
the Charlottesville corporation
court today sentenced J. Samuel Mo-
Cue, former mayor of this city for
three terms, to be hanged by tho neck
until he is dead.
Judge Morris disposed of the objec
tions in their order. The first was tho
reading of newspapers by tho Jury.
After the Judge had overruled
objections Mr. Coleman of the defense
moved an arrest of Judgment for
error appnrent on fnco of the record,
claiming a discrepancy because the
Indictment charged murder simply
while tho verdict road "guilty of n
der lu the first degree,”
Bill of Exceptions.
The court overruled this motion
also, stating that the verdict was per
fectly plain as to Its intent. The prls
oner’e counsel was given until Satur
day to frame his bill of exceptions,
with a view to carrying the case to
the Virginia court of appeals.
Judge Morris then ordered McCue
to arise nnd hear the sentence. The
prisoner walked to tho railing In front
of the Judgo and stood with arms
folded. He was very pule but free
from nervousness.
"Is there any reason why sentence
should not be passed upon you?”
asked Judgo Morris.
"Yes,” was the nnswer na the con
vlcted man dropped his arms to his
side; "I am as Innocent of this crime
ss any one In this court house and I
hope some day to hnvo the opportuni
ty to vindicate myself,”
This statement was made In n voice
scarcely audible throughout tho
room. It trembled with suppressed
emotion, as If the accused was upon
the verge of a tearful collapse. Again
folding his arms, and with posture
erect, his eyfs cast down, he listened
unmoved to the sentence.
The court replied:
Tho 8sntonce.
"The point of your guilt or Inno-
cenrrrlrf a matter that was l^ft to tho
Jury. This court, thnnk God, did not
have to Phss upon It. The Jury h;in
decided after it fair nnd Impartial
trial that you nre guilty of. the offense
nnd It only remains for mo to puss
the sentence of the lew, which Is thnt
you he taken to the county Jnll of Al-
etnarle couny, which la also used as
the city Jail of Charlottesville, and
therein be confined In solitary con
finement until the 20th day of Janu
ary next; that on thnt day, between
the hours of sunrise and sunset, you
taken from your |4nce of confine
ment to some place within the enclo
sure of the said jail and there be
hanged by the neck until you aro dead,
and may God have mercy on your
soul.”
The Judge shook hands with the
prisoner as the latter left tho court
room nnd expressed his sympathy.
Apparently the prisoner was the
cooler of the two. He nsked several
liberties regarding exercise and re
ceiving cftllers but the Judge gave no
definite promise. ,
jANSDOWNE in
STRONG SPEECH
lie Pleads for Peace and
Arbitration
FAR EASTERN AFFAIR
He Talk Regarded as Bold Bid for
Intervention There, and as Almost
a Pica for Russia—John Hay's Ex
pressed Opinion of War in General
Referred to.
LONDON, Nov. 9.—Lord Lnns-
downe, in the absence of Premier Bal
four nt the hlstor’e lord mayor’s ban
quet, held tonight, made a strong plea
for peace and arbitration on behalf of
the Brltleh government. Lord Lans-
down pointed out to a large and rather
unsympathetic audience that arbitra
tion was the only way In which tho
North eea dispute with Russia couM
have been equitably settled, nnd al
most In the same breath drew a vivid
picture of the horrors of the struggle
now proceeding In th# far enot. Be
tween the linos of every reference the
foreign minister made to the Ruaro-
Jap&neso war wss nn urgent plea,
amounting almost to a demand, that
It might he settled by arbitration. It
was a carefully prepared statement
made before what Is considered the
moot repreidntntlve gatherIng of lend
ing .men of Great Britain. As such,
ft was generally Interpreted as a
bolder bid for intervention than has
yet emanated from nny neutral power.
America was writ largo in this
speech, for which,Great Britain h.i <
been waiting for many days.
The foreign^ minister prefaced all
hts remarks by snylng:
As to John Hey.
"That great ststoomsn. John Hay.
recently remarked thnt war was tho
moat futile nnd fallacious of human
follies.” •
