OLD-TIME REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE DEFEATED ——— Eben Hill and Uncle Joe Can non Among Losers —Sim mons May Win. WASHINGTON,' Nov. G. Indications are that Woodrow Wilson will have a solid Democratic congress behind him when he enters the white house in March. While tlie complete congres sional returns will not be known until late today, it is evident that, a Demo cratic senate lias been elected. Champ Clark has been re-elected, and undoubtedly wj.il preside over the house in the next congress unless induced to enter the next cabinet. But Clark’s an cient and honorable foe, “Uncle Joe" Cannon, after 38 years in the house, was defeated in the iron-bound Dan ville. 111., district. With the assurances that the Dem ocratic candidates for the house throughout the “solid South” had been elected, the election of Oscar W. Un derwood, chairman ot the house ways and means committee and father of the tariff measures that made up the greater part of the work of the present Democratic house, was made certain. Tire only Socialist in the present house. Victor L. Berger, of Wisconsin, was defeated by William H. Stafford, a Republican, renominated on a fusion ticket, with the Democrats supporting him. Ebsn Hill Defeated. Down to defeat also went Eben Hili, In the Fourth Connecticut district. Rep resentative Hill for eighteen years has been one of the Republican tariff ex perts and a member of the ways and means committee. The senate has sixty hold-over sen ators, of whom thirty are Republican and thirty Democratic. Os the thirty six other members, six have been cho sen, leaving thirty places to be filled. Os the six so far elected, five are Dem ocrats—Bankhead of Alabama, Martin of Virginia, Vardaman of Mississippi, James of Kentucky, and Ransdell of Louisiana —and one is a Republican— Fall of New Mexico. The states from which the remaining thirty must be chosen are Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware. Georgia, Idaho. Il linois. lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana. Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey. Nevada. North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming. Simmons Probably Wofl. Os these states. Colorado, Idaho and Illinois will choose two senators each, and the other states one. It will be necessary for the Demo crats to elect thirteen out of the thirty to obtain a. majority, and for the Re publicans to elect eighteen to procure that advantage. Os the twenty-seven states from which the new senators must be chosen, seven—Georgia. Maine, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia—are now repre sented by Democrats, and the remain ing twenty by Republicans. The re turns so far give little basis on which to establish the strength of the parties in the next senate. Much interest attached to the report that Senator Simmons probably had won a renomination in the North Car olina primary. Next to Senator Bailey, of Texas, he is the senior Democratic member of the committee on finance. As Mr. Bailey’s successor has been chosen by a primary, Mr. Simmons would be in line for the chairmanship of tlie most Important committee, In of i»cn>o' >«ti< control of the sen alt.

CONGRATULATES WILSON; STICKS TO MOOSE “CAUSE” « OYSTER BAY. —Here is ColoneTßoosevelt's statement on the election: “The American people, by a great, plurality, have decided in favor of Mr. IVilson and the Democratic party. Like all other good citizens. 1 accept the re sult with entire good humor and contentment. “As for the Progressive cause. 1 can only repeat what I- have already so many times said: “The fate of the leader for the time being is of little conse quence, but the cause itself must in the end triumph, for its triumph is essential to the well being of the American people. (Signed) “THTEODORE ROOSEVELT.” Shortly before midnight Colonel Roosevelt sent the following telegram to Governor Wilson: “The American people, by a great majority, have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift. I congratulate you- thereon. (Signed) “THEODORE ROOSEVELT." T. R. Wins Illinois; State Democratic CHICAGO, Nov. 8. —Roosevelt and Johnson were winners in Illinois. With this exception, the entire Democratic ticket swept tlie state- In Cook count}' —including Chicago- -the Democrats won after one of the hardest fights evei known here. Maclay Hoyne, Democrat, candidate for state’s attorney, was elected after a neck-and-neck race with William A. Cunnca, Socialist, who ear ly tn the count had a lead over the field. Peter Bartsen, president of the county board, against whom one of the most spectacular fights Chicago has ever seen was waged, emerged successful and was re-elected. In the state at large, Roosevelt’s strength was less than had been ex pected. His early lead, w hich was in dicated at 90,000, dwindled us the count came In until it amounted to only 30,- 000. It was expected that late returns from the souther: sections night re duct ii sill. mole. Bull Moose leaders in Chicago said there was no danger that the late down-state vote would change the returns. Edward F. Dunne, Democratic can didate for governor, won with the other members of his ticket. Frank H. Funk, Progressive, made a great race against Dunne in the state, outside Chicago, displaying strength that surprised his own backers. Results in the congressional districts are not complete. Joseph G. Cannon was defeated forre -election and it was believed from returns received at 6:30 a. m. that William B. McKinley had been defeated. Constantinople’s Water Cut Off SOFIA.

Nov. 6.—Theo dore Rooset elt has carried Washing ton with a plurality of 45,000 and has tarried the entire Progressive con gressional ticket with him, according to returns as yet not complete. The fight for the governorship has devel oped Into a three-cornered one with Hodge, Progressive, running far behind Roosevelt, while Elster, Democrat, and Hay, Republican, are fighting it out with him to win.

H., Nov. 6.—Colonel Frank Churchill, one of the most prom, inent Republicans in the state, dropped dead while hearing the election returns with friends in Lebanon EXTRA 399 ELECTDML VOTES FOR WILSON, T. R. ROHS WELL MEM DE lIFI Democratic Candidate Gets Largest Number of Electoral Votes Evei Given a Candidate Since Parties Were Formed—Only 15 for Taft. Woodrow Wilson, president-elect of the United States, has been named to that office by the largest electoral majority on record, win ning 399 out of a total of 531 votes in a Democratic landslide thai swept the nation. The New Jersey governor, carrying along with him an increased Democratic house and possibly a Democratic senate, smashing Mas sachusetts’ rock-ribbed Republicanism and putting the Bull Moose to flight in California, eclipsed Theodore Roosevelt’s high water mark in the electoral college by 03 votes. The Democratic victory was sweeping, conclusive and, from the very first returns, unmistakable. Equally es positive, however, is the overwhelming defeat administered to President Taft, who gleans a paltry fifteen votes in the electoral vote. The Bull Moose succeeded in goring the elephant to a harrow ing death, and made Theodore Roosevelt the second candidate in the race, with 117 electoral votes. The Progressive candidate achieved a notqble triumph in the carrying of Pennsylvania, where Penrose’s machine was sent to the junk heap, and Illinois. Wilson Gets 399 Electoral Votes Here are the lati.st revised figures on the total number of votes which Wilson. Roosevelt and Taft will receive in the elec toral college : Alabama 12, Arizona 3. Arkansas 9, CaliforirflT 13. Colorado 6, Connecticut! 7. Delaware 3. Florida 6, Georgia 14. Indiana 15. Kentucky 13, Louisiana 10. Maine 6, Maryland 8.

Oklahoma 10, Oregon 5. Rhode Island 5. South Carolina 9. Tennessee 12. Texas 20. Virginia 12, West Virginia 8. Wiscon sin 13. Total. 399. Wilson’s greatest triumph was won in Roosevelt's home state New York, which rolled up a Democratic majority of more than 200,000. sending an entire Democratic delegation to congress and K electing William Sulzer its governor, over Straus and Hedges, by an equally wide margin. In the home state of the next vice president, Thomas R. Mar shall, the Democratic tidal wave was not to be withstood, and car ried along with it a Democratic governor. The “solid South’’ remained that way. From every section of the country came the same report. Democrats everywhere rallied loyally for the first national victory since 1892. New Jersey rolled up a handsome majority for its triumphant governor; Missouri astonished itself and delighted Champ Clark by giving the winner a plurality of 100,000: New England, with the ex ception of Vermont, cast oft’ its outworn Republican habilaments and X appeared, with far away California, in the robes of Miss Democrat Even little Rhoda Island reformed. Moose Trick Fails In Eighth District ATHENS, GA.. Nov. s.—Heavy voting is reported all over the Eighth congres sional district and after the early morning hours It has been steady here with 427 votes being polled up to 12 o’clock. Roose velt, Taft and Debs got 22 of these. En* thuslastlc 1 lemocrats are taking no chances and are mustering in autos to get the voters to the polls. The weather has cleared up and Is warm. The regu lar Republican tickets were several hours late arriving at the polling places and in dications are that Taft's vote will be neg ligible. The fact that Congressman Samuel J. Tribble's name is appearing on both the Democratic and Progressive party tickets throughout the Eighth district, which has caused considerable criticism is falling on the part of the Roosevelt workers, to win votes for their leader. Mr. Tribble de clares he did not authorise the placing of his name on the Progressive ticket. The fact that his predecessor's name appeared on both the Republican and Independent tickets in 1908 indicates that this course is not unusual. iHily a light vote has been polled in Walton county. Up iu noon HO totes 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P MORE° Michigan Still Reported in Doubt DETROIT. Nov. 6.—This morning Michigan still is in doubt. Returns aie slower both in the city and up-state than in rneny years, owing to the v<7t tng for constitutional amendments. Roosevelt's margin over Wilson now is not more than 2,000. Taft is a very poor third. So few districts are in that these relative positions may be changed within a few hours. The most certain thing seems to be the election of Woodbridge N. Ferris, Democratlo candidate for governor. Edward Frensdorf, Democrat, ap pears to have been elected congress man at large. The Democrats probabb' have lost the Fifth district, giving A Car!
