Washington, Nov. B.—President
Roosevelt is assured of the co-opera
tlon of a Republican Congress. The
present Republican majority "in that
body is thirty-four, and there need be
no surprise if this figure is almost
doubled, and it is reasonably certain
to reach a. majority of at least fifty.
In practically all districts the Repub
licans have held their own, while in
some significant instances the Demo
crats have lost. Probably the most
marked of these cases are the Fourth
and Fifth districts of California (San
Francisco), now represented by Rep
resentatives Livernash and Wynn,
Democrats, which reports Indicate
have been gaitied by the Republicans.
In the Twelfth Ohio district Taylor,
Republican, is reported to have defeat
ed Badger, the sitting Democratic
member, who was a candidate for re
election. The most surprising of all
the reports, however, come from the
Fifth and Fifteenth Missouri districts,
both strongly Democratic, and the
former represented by Mr. Cowherd,
chairman of the Democratic Congres
sional Campaign Committee. The Re
publicans claims to have carried both
districts. Xu the light of these re
ports a Republicans majority of fifty
in the House is considered a conserva
tive estimate.
Returns from the Southern states
show that they have returned the
usual Democratic majorities on con
gressmen as on other candidates. The
states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi. North and South
Carolina and Texas wtll send
solid Democratic delegations, while
those from Kentucky and Vir
ginia probably each will send
only one Republican representative,
making no change from the present
complexion. Tennessee will continue to
send two Republican congressmen.
There are several solid Republican
delegations already reported from
Northern states, including lowa (with
one possible exception. Kansas, Min
nesota, New Hampshire and the two
Dakotas. To these must be added the
delegations from Maine, Oregon and
Vermont, in which states elections were
held prior to yesterday. Other states,
such as Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Illi
nois and even Indiana and New Jer
sey, front which the Democrats hoped
for much in the way of gains, again
•end to Congress delegations which are
preponderatlngly Republican.
In New York the Republicans will
suffer no less, and will gain several
congressmen and they, make a gain of
at least two in New Jersey and other
gains are reported from Maryland and
West Virginia.

CONGRESSMAN COWHERD
HIMSELF WAS BEATEN.
Kansas City. Mo., Nov. B.—The count
in this city will not be completed un
til 3 o’clock, but there is small rea
son to doubt that Congressman Cow
herd is defeated by .at least 500 votes.
MAY HAVIfSEVENTY-FIVE.
Chicago, Nov. 9.—Dispatches to the
Associated Press up 3:15 o’clock show
that the Republicans have elected 208
congressmen and the Democrats 135.
Forty-three districts are still missing
and the majority of them are now rep
resented by Republicans. It is quite
likely that the Republicans will have
a majority of about seventy-live in
the House.
New York. Nov. B.—At 11:30 o’clock
Chairman Babcock of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee
said that present returns indicated
thpt the House of Representatives
would have fifty majority for the Re
publicans. The returns from the
Western states are still very meager,
and he bases his calculations upon dis
tricts that he believes arc assured Re
publican. Of the gain in the Hast,
there are six in New York, two in
New Jersey t and one in Massachusetts.
Washington. Nov. B.—Chairman
t owherd of the Democratic Congres
sional Committee at 11 o’clock said:
"We concede that the Republican
Roosevelt landslide has carried the
House of Representatives for the Re
publicans by a majority at least as
large as that by which they now hold
control.”

which will mean the re-election of
United States Senator Nathan B.
Scott of Wheeling.
The fight for the governorship was
the feature of the election and the re
ported defections from Dawson in
many counties, led to the belief that
when the returns are all in it will be
found that the Democratic nominee,
John G. Cornwell of Hampshire coun
ty, has defeated Secretary of State
William M. O. Dawson, the Republican
candidate.
Charleston, W. Va., Nov. B.— Reports
from all parts of West Virginia indi
cate a plurality for Roosevelt and Fair
banks and victory for the Democratic
state ticket. Counting of votes Is very
slow.
Clarksburg, W. Va., Nov. B.—Re
turns coming in slowly indicate Harri
son county and Clarksburg will give
Roosevelt probably 1.000 majority. The
same gave McKinley, 1,200.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh. N. C., Nov. B.—At midnight
the returns from the Eighth North
Carolina district Indicates a narrow
majority either way, and it is extreme
ly doubtful. The Tenth district still
seems Democratic, but both districts
are In the mountains of the extreme
west and returns are slow. Bight
districts are conceded as Democratic,
but no figures can be given now'.
No showing worth mentioning has
been made by Populist. Hoclalists or
Prohibition tickets. Latest returns in
dicate Democratic majorities, state and
national, as about '50,000.
• LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, Nov, B.—The Demo
crats have carried Louisiana for Par
ker and Davis by a majority of prob
ably 35,000.
Seven Democratic congressmen have
been elected. The election was peace
able and outside of New Orleans, a
light vote was cast.
WYOMING.
Cheyenne, Wyo„ Nov. I.—Wyoming

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. B.—The state,
as usual, went overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, but a small vote as compared
with the Democratic primaries was
cast. The Socialist candidate has re
ceived several hundred votes.
Very few negroes offered to vote, and
many more white people were denied
the right to vote because of lack of
registration certificates. The consti
tutional amendments were not under
stood by many, and fewer votes were
cast for or against them than for the
candidates. It seems likely that the
I amendment favorable to biennial ses
i sions has been carried.
In each of the districts in which
there was a Republican candidate for
Congress a few votes were cast for
him, but tert, times as many were cast
for the Democratic nominee.
The election was very quiet through
out the state. At one country precinct
a man was killed, but this was due to
previous bad blood.
Small Vote in Charleston.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. B.—Election
day was without incident in Charles
ton. Not one-third of the registered
vote was polled. In the race for Con
gress in the First district, Legare,
Democrat, won easily over two Repub
lican opponents, Noland, white, and
Prioleau, black. The congressional
vote in Charleston county was: Le
gare. 1,743; Noland, 90; Prioleau, 60;
Democratic electors, 1.716; Republican.
143; Socialist, 14. No Republican state
or county ticket was put up.
Beaufort’s quiet Day.
Beaufort, S. C., Nov. B.—Six out of
ten boxes give the Democratic elec
tors, 263 and Republican electors 298
votes. Five boxes give Heyward and
other state nominees, 297 each; Pat
terson, 271, and Meyers, Republican,
278. The five remaining boxes are us
ually Democratic by large majorities,
and will no doubt give a total major
ity of several hundred for the Demo
cratic nominees, including senator,
representatives and all county officers.

NEW JERSEY.
Newark. N. J., Nov. B.—New Jersey
was carried by the Republicans by a
bigger majority than even the most
sanguine of the Republican predictions
claimed. The state gave in the neigh
borhood of 3)0,000 for Roosevelt, ex
ceeding McKinley’s majority for four
years ago by 3,000 or more. Edward S.
Stokes, the Republican nominee for
Governor, defeated his Democratic op
ponent, Charles C. Black, by more than
20,000. The Legislature will be Repub
lican.
X
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 9, —Incomplete

as high as 40,000.
Newark, N. J., Nov. B.—The Republi
can State Committee claims that
Roosevelt has carried the state by 60,-

ually large In Mlsslsippl, having

mated at something over 65,000.
TEXAS.

were cast for Parker, 60,000 for Roose
velt and the balance scattering. All
Democratic candidates for Congress
are elected In Texas.

on In Texas to-day. one seeking lo
provide for stats banks, another for
the Irrigation of Texas by counties and
the third to Increase the state pension
roll for Confederate veterans, were nil
defeated In to-day's election. It wtll

TENNESSEE.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 8. —Owing to
the length of the ballot the returns
are slow in coming in, but the state
is conceded to Parker by the Repub
licans, although they claim the election
of their candidate for Governor, Jesse
M. Littleton. The Democratic chair
man claims the'election of James B.
Frazier for Governor by 25,000.
It is practically certain that the
state will give Parker a majority of
25,000, while Frazier is re-elected Gov
ernor by from 12,000 to 20,000.
Kight Democrats have been elected to
Congress, making the delegation stand
just as it did in the last Congress.
The Democrats have elected at least
100 out of the 132 members of the
General Assembly, insuring the re
election of William B. Bate to the
United States Senate.
The seven proposed amendments to
the state constitution, extending the
terms of the governor, treasurer and
controller, and providing for the elec
tion of the secretary of state, treas
urer and state controller by the peo
ple, instead of by the Legislature, are
defeated by a large majority.
ALABAMA.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 8. —S. H.
Mallory, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, said to-night that
Alabama had cast the largest vote in
years. The majority of Parker elec
tors will phobably be 75,000.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 8. —Later re
turns show that Congressman Burnett
has been re-elected to Congress from
the Seventh Alabama district by 2,000
majority. J. Thomas Hefln's majority
in the Fifth district will be 6,000. These
were the only Democratic candidate
thought to have serious opposition.
MINNESOTA.
St. Paul. Minn., Nov. B.—President
Roosevelt received a record-breaking
plurality in Minnesota, going far be
yond McKinley's margin of 77,000 four
years ago. On the face of the returns
so far received the Republican elec
toral ticket will have a plurality of
over 100,000. Parker’s vote was much
smaller than that received by Bryan
four years ago.
Despite the tremendous plurality for
Roosevelt, the Democrats have appar
ently elected their candidate for Gov
ernor, John A. Johnson. At Demo
cratic headquarters, Johnson's election
was claimed by a plurality of from
20,000 to 22,000.
3t. Paul, Minn., Nov. B.—Steel coun
ty complete gives Roosevelt, 1,850;
Parker, 1,100, a Republican gain of 105.

Wilmington, Del., Nov. 9.—At 1
o’clock this morning returns at hand

Delaware by about 2,500 majority, and
that the Republicans had elected their
entire state ticket by majorities a lit
tle smaller. The next Legislature will
be Republican on joint ballot.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. B.—Roose
velt has carried Delaware by about
5,000, and the Republicans elect the
Governor and congressmen. The Leg
islature will be overwhelmingly Repub
lican.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Va., Nov. B.—The vote in
Virginia to-day was light, probably
not exceeding 60 per cent, of that cast
in J9OO. The Democratic majority on
the presidential ticket is estimated at
between 20,000 and 25,000.
Nine of the ten Democratic nominees
for Congress were elected. In the
Ninth district, Campbell Slemp, the
present Republican congressman, was
re-elected by a majority of about 600.
There was no disturbance at any
point during the day. The weather was
good throughout the state.
FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 8. —Only a
few of the very smallest precincts have
been heard from. On account of the
length of the ticket the count will not
be completed in the larger precincts be
fore to-morrow night. It seems prob
able that the state Democratic ticket
is elected by 20.000 plurality.
The presidential ticket is running
slightly behind.
Sparkman's majority In the First dis
trict is approximately 5,000; Clark's
in the Second, 7,000. and Lamar's In
the Third, 9,000 —all Democrats.
COLORADO.
Denver, Col., Nov. B.—Estimates at
midnight from sjatterlng and incom
plete returns Indicate a plurality of
over 10.000 for Roosevelt in Colorado.
The result as to congressmen and state
officers 'ls in doubt, owing to the large
number of scratched ballots that have
not been counted. The Democrats
claim that Adams is elected Governor
by 7.000 to 8,000 plurality.
Denver. Col., Nov. B.—From scatter
ing returns received up to 10 p. in. it
appears that Roosevelt carries Colo
rado by a plurality of something be
tween 5.000 and 10,000 and that Alva
Adams, Democrat, Is elected Governor.
Owing to the large number of
scratches It Is Impossible to estimate
the congressional vote.
UTAH ~
Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. B.—At 11
o'clock scattered returns from this
state Indicate that Roosevelt Will have
a plurality exceeding 7,000. His vote
shows a heavy Increase In every pre
cinct reported.
Indications point to the election of
John C. Cutler, Republican, for Gov

“ ImJIUIIILU HOUSE IN THE WEST
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, R. 1., Nov. 9.—lndica
tions at midnight were that Roosevelt
had carried Rhode Island by a plu
rality of over 5,000. At that hour, on
ly about half the country districts and
a quarter of the city districts were
reported. The result for Governor was
still in doubt with Utter, Republican,
slightly in the lead. Neither party will
concede the election of the candidate
of the other party.
Providence, R. 1.. Nov. B.—At 11
o’clock to-night, with 38 districts out
of 153 in the state reported, Roosevelt
was 5,049 in the lead over Parker, with
votes of 8,767 and 3,718, respectively.
The fight, for Governor remains in
doubt, with Utter (Republican) the
leader in thirty-one districts in the
state by 1,335. Aij but one district of
the thirty-one is in the country.
Providence, R. 1., Nov. B.—-At 11:45
p. m., thirty-one districts for Govern
or in Rhode Island out of 163, give:
Garvin (Dem.) 3,988: Utter (Rep.) 5,323.
The same districts last year gave
Garvin, (Dem.) 3,560; Colt (Rep.) 4,-
709.
TansasT
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—At 2:15 o'clock
returns at hand show that Roosevelt
has carried Kansas by a majority
closely approaching 100,000.
E. W. Hoch, Republican, is elected
Governor by a plurality or 55,000 or
more.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. B.—The indica
tions are that Roosevelt will carry the
state by 30,000 plurality.
The state ticket is badly scratched,
and the complete returns are not ex
pected before midnight. T. T. Kelly,
candidate for state treasurer, is run
ning behind his ticket.
All the Republican congressmen are
elected.
OREGON.
Portland, Ore., Nov. B.—The Ore
gonian says this county will give
Roosevelt between 13,000 and 15,000, and
the state will go Republican by 30,000,
almost twice the majority given any
President heretofore.
Portland, Ore., Nov. B.—Forty pre
cincts out of 86 in this (Multomap)
county give Roosevelt 264; Parker, 41;
scattering, 18. These are the only re
turns from Oregon so far.
Owing to many changes in ward
boundaries since the election of 1900,
a comparative vote on President is of
no value.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. 8. —Though the re
turns from the counties of Maryland
are not complete and those from four
precincts in Baltimore are missing, the
returns that have been received indi
cate that Maryland has gone for
Roosevelt by a small majority, prob
ably a few hundred votes, this esti
mate being based upon the returns re
ceived and the voting records in those
districts not heard from. It will be
at an early hour to-morrow morning
before the result is exactly known.
In the six congressional districts of
the state, three Republicans and two
Democrat* have been elected, with re
maining district in doubt. This dis
trict is now represented by W. H.
Jackson, a Republican, and the prob
abilities point to his re-election. Reav
ing out the four missing precincts,
Parker’s majority in Baltimore is 453.
The chairman of the Republican
State Committee claims that the final
returns will show a Republican major
ity of over 1,000 in the state.
Baltimore, Md.. Nov. B.—Returns
from the city and state are not com
plete, but it is apparent from the offi
cial reports so far received, that the
vote in Maryland is very close, and
that the actual result may not be defll
nitely known to-night, owing to the
slowness of returns from remote dis
tricts in Eastern Shore and southern
counties.
In Baltimore the indications are that
there may not be a difference of one
hundred votes.
Incomplete returns from the Counties
show unexpected Republican gains,
particularly in the western counties.
Baltimore. Nov. 9.—The Sun, which
supported the Democratic presidential
nominee, concedes at 2:30 a. m. that
Roosevelt carried the state by about
1.000. In Baltimore city, with one pre

CHIO.
Columbus. 0.. Nov. B.—The returns
to-night Indicate the Republicans have
broken all their records in Ohio. Their
highest plurality was 137.000 in 1894
on a small vote, while that of to-day
was on a large vote greatly exceeding
1,000,000.
The Republican Committee estimate
that the plurality for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks will be double the highest
plurality ever given McKinley cither
for Governor or for President.
It Is estimated at from 140.000 to
150.000. The Republicans claim a net
gain of at least one congressman Tay
lor. In the Twelfth district. Chairman
Garber of the DemociVitic State Com
mittee also claims a net gain of one
Democratic congressman
Columbus. 0.. Nov. B,—The estimate
at 9 o clock was that the Republican
plurality In Ohio would exceed the high
water mark of 137,000 in 1894 and also
any previous Republican record on
congressmen. It Is believed that the
Socialists increased their vote at the
expense of the Democrats.

KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky„ Nov. B.—With one
third of Kentucky’s 1,896 precincts re
ported at 11 o’clock to-night, the vote
indicates a majority in the state for
Parker of from 12,000 to 14,000. The
figures of the Democratic and Repub
lican managers show but little vari
ance from this result.
Kentucky in 1900 gave Bryan 8,089
plurality. The returns from 683 pre
cincts show a plurality of 16,026 for
Parker.
In the Fifth district, composed of
Louisville and Jefferson county, the
Democratic plurality of 3,696 in 1900
will be cut down by fully 2,000 votes.
In the Third district, also, the Demo
cratic majority was reduced.
The complete returns from the
strongly Republican Eleventh district
are not expected for forty-eight hours,
but the reduction of the normal Re
publican majority there, as the result
of a factional fight, will partially offset
the Republican gains in the Third and
Fifth. The result of the fight leaves
the congressional delegation unchang
ed—tefi Democrats and one Republi
can.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. B.—Six hundred
and seventy-two precincts out of a to
tal of 1,896 in the state give Parker a
plurality of 16,480. As the Eleventh
district, a Republican stronghold, is
yet to be heard from, Parkers probable
plurality is placed by those at both
Democratic and Republican headquar
ters as between 12,000 and 14.000.
Bryan’s plurality in 1900 was 8,940.
1 Louisville, Ky., Nov. B.—Nine coun
ties out of 119 in the state give a total
plurality for Parker of 4,886, a gain
over Bryan's plurality in 1900 of 1,068.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 8. —Eighty-
two precincts give Roosevelt 7,562; Par
ker, 4,791. The Republican ticket is

Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. B.—lt is gen
erally conceded that Roosevelt has car
ried Wisconsin by a plurality estimated
at between 60,000 and 75,000.
Both Republican and Democratic
state chairmen claim the state re
spectively for LaFollette and Peck.
Republican Chairman Connor, at 11
o'clock to-night, said: "From the re
turns received i figure that LaFol
lette’s plurality for Governor is 50,-
000. We have nothing to indicate the
complexion of the next Legislature,
which is to elect a United States sen
ator.”

Committee said: “I claim that Peck
will be elected by ■ 25,000 plurality. I
have no returns on which to make a

cincts in Wisconsin, including twenty
five in Milwaukee: Parker, 4,70 s,
Roosevelt, 8,491; Peck, 6.409: LaFol
lette. 6,444. From reports received up
to this time it is evident that La-
Follette is running behind Roosevelt
fully 12 to 15 per cent. Roosevelt will
carry the state by a large plurality.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. B.—Three
wards out of twenty-three in the city
of Milwaukee give Roosevelt'2,2s2; Par
ker 1,938: Debs, 1.336. In 1900 McKinley,

ARKANSAS!
Little Rock. Ark., Nov. B.—The Ga
zette's advices from all parts of the
slate bear out previous estimates of a
plurality of 40,000 for the Parker and
Davis electors.
Each of the seven congressional dis
tricts is Democratic by majorities
ranging from 4,000 to 6,000. The total
vote will fall short of that cast at the
state election in September, on account
of apathy in some of the counties.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. B.—Enough
returns have been received to show
that the Democratic plurality in Ar
kansas is not less than 40,000. and in
dicating a slight gain over the vote

al districts, where the Democratic
nominee had no opposition, report a

cratic congressmen had been elected,

re-election of United State* Senator

publican by 20,000 and the state major
ity would reach 5.000.
