Continued From Pago One, Democratic column, as did New York. The Empire State elected Representa tive William Sulzer, a Democrat, gov ernor by an overwhelming plurality over the Republican and Bull Moose candidates. New York's legislature is also Democratic in both its branches. People United in Progressive Demands. Governor Wilson carried New Jer sey, his own state, by a big vote. A calm analysis of the. vote today after a period of political frenzy which marked the. revolutionary returns showed that the American people unit, ed in the following specific demands: A revision of the tariff downward; legislation to reduce the cost of living; a. satisfactory solution of the trust problem, and a progressive national policy in legislation. Political students declare that the Wilson victory’ has set back the cause of woman suffrage, as this was an Issue ■upon which the Democratic party did not take a decided stand. Upon the other hand, the Progressive party car ried In its platform an avowed suffrage plank. Two of the biggest factors entering Into the lection of Governor Wilson ■was the "Solid South" and the "silent vote.” Neither President Taft nor Colonel Roosevelt could break the solid South, and the "silent vote." to which frantic appeals were made for months before the electors voted overwhelm ingly for Wilson. Wilson’s Strength Big Surprise, Governor Wilsons strength in the Ea«t and in the West and tn the North west, where progressive sentiment Is very strong, proved a surprise. When returns were complied, showing that the Democratic ticket had swept Maine and Massachusetts. Republicans and Progressives began to have fears that all New England would occupy a place in the democratic column. Wisconsin, the home state of Senator 1 .aCollette, one of the founders of the progressive movement in the United Staes. was counted among the Wilson states. Slowness of the arrival of returns from the western part of Pennsylvania * held that state long in doubt. Colonel Roosevelt had concentrated his heaviest guns there, and It is the home of two of his ablest lieutenants, William Flinn and Gifford Plnchot. Socialists showed up strong in the manufacturing districts of Pennsylva nia, casting a surprising vote. This same fact proved the case elsewhere, the national Socialist vote increasing nearly 100 per cent. Progressive leaders laid definite claim to Illinois, where they had made a hard battle throughout the campaign Solid South Outdoes Itself.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Although not waiting for President-elect Wilson's vic tory to be formally affirmed by the elec toral college, slate-makers were at work today picking the next cabinet. The' names generally' mentioned for the Wil son portfolios were as follows: Secretary of state, William Jennings Bryan, Senator Rayner, of Maryland, or Senator Bacon, of Georg*.. Secretary of the treasury, Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, or Representative Os car W. Underwood, of Alabama. Attorney general. Samuel W. Unter meyer, of New York; I.ouls D. G.

Mc- Combs. of New York, or Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina Governor Burke, of North Dakota, and Senator Obediah Gardner, of Maine, were talked of for secretary of agriculture. Senator O'Gorman, of New York, was also mentioned for cabinet honors. There were some who believed that Democratic National Chairman McCombs, instead of accepting a place In the cabi net. would become the president's secre tary. Roosevelt Keeps Lead in Kansas TOPEKA, KANS.. Nov. 6.—Roose velt's plurality In Kansas is estimated at 12,000. The Republican state ticket leads Roosevelt by S.OOO. Wichita, Ix>avenworth and Sa lina all give the Democrats small ma jorities. Victor Murdock is returned to congress from Wichita. Women in Kansas have evidently won their fight for the ballot. Returns at 7 a. m. indicated that suffrage has car ried by 30,000. This is the third fight for suffrage In Kansas. The first was made in 1869, and the second in 1893. The women had one of the best organ izations ever known in the state in a political fight. Michigan Still Reported in Doubt DETROIT. Nov. 6. This morning Michigan still is in doubt. Returns are slower both in the city and up-stutc than in many years, owing to the vot ing for constitutional amendments. Roosevelt's margin over, Wilson now i- 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. Democratic candidate for governor. Edward Frensdorf, Democrat, ap pears to have been elected congress man at large. The Democrats probably have lost the Fifth district, giving A. Car! Mapes.

CHOICE JOBS FOR GEORGIANS WHO AIDED WILSON Senator Hoke Smith to Deal the Pie to Faithful Democrats in This State. Continued From Page One. worked for Underwood,” Mr. Wilson is reported as saying. It fs an unwritten law in polities that the senators and congressmen of a state shall control to a large measure the appointments in that state, pro vided the administration Is of their po litical faith. Hoke Smith, a firm friend to 'Wilson from the beginning. Is looked upon as the principal arbiter of office seekers’ affairs, and it will be he who will decide on the major matters. Wil liam Schley Howard will have a great deal to say about appointments in this district, as will other congressmen In their own territories. It Is not Impos sible that Senator Smith will return to the cabinet, which he left when Cleve land went out, though it is reported that the only place he cares for is that of attorney general, and he would prefer to take chances on being re-elected sen ator to accepting a port-folio in which he would be "buried." Atlanta Rejoices As Returns Come in. Atlanta received the election news even aS the prodigal son stood upon the hilltop and sniffed the aroma of the fatted calf. Democrats and Bull Moosers and occasional Taft men stood in the streets, crowded the club rooms or listened to the band in the big Audi, torlum until midnight, long after it was definitely established that Wilson was winner and the Colonel the runner-up. The cheering was loud and long in the early hours, but after that there wasn't much to shout about. It was a case of "Don't cheer, boys; the poor fellows are dying." Fully 10,000 rooters stood at Five Points or as close thereto as they could get and watched the bulletins flash on the screen, announcing that Wilson had carried nine towns in New Hamp shire or that Roosevelt had swung three precincts hi the upper end of Schenec tady. It wasn't long before whole states from the East began flashing on the sheet and then the news came that The New York Sun and The New York Press claimed the country for Wilson. After a while the Bull Moose papers and various Taft sheets began conced ing the election of the Princetonlan. and then it was all over but the shout ing. But the crowd stood on the car tracks until midnight and then all tried to ride home at once. The Georgian's extras announcing the victory of Wilson met a ready sale. Half the men in the Five Points crowd bought a paper to get the facts in con vincing form. There were pink edi tions sticking out of every pocket, and on the cars the straphangers were try ing to read the news and stick on their feet at the same time. Down at the Auditorium a crowd which nearly filled the big structure cheered the returns ns they came and listened to the band play ragtime. The audience stuck until close to midnight, watching the news from the later Western states. Altogether, it was a big night, a highly satisfactory even ing. and everybody— -except a small ml i nority -is hoping the same show will [play h return date four years from now. Taft Hits T. R. in Election Statement CINCINNATI. Nov. 6.—President Taft at 11 o'clock last night conceded the election of Governor Wilson. He issuer! the following statement from his brother’s home here: “The insure the election of Governor Wilson to the presidency. This means an early change in the economic policy’ of the government in reference to the tariff. If tfils change can be made without halting prosperity t sincerely hope it may be. "The vote for Mr. Roosevelt, the third party candidate, and for Mr. Debs, the Socialist candidate. Is a warning that their propaganda in favor of funda mental changes in our constitutional representative government has formid able support. “While tire experiment of a change in the tariff is being carried out by the Democratic administration it behooves Republicans to gather again to the par ty tandard and pledge anew their faith In their party's principles and to organize again to defend the constitu tional government handed down to us by our fathers. We must make clear to the young men of the country who have been weaned away’ from sound principles of government by promise of reforms, impossible of accomplishment by mere legislation, that patriotism and common sense require them to return to a support of our constitution. With out compromising our principles, we must convince and win back former Republicans, and we must reinforce our ranks with constitution loving democrats. "We favor every step of progress to ward more perfect equality of oppor tunity and the ridding society of Injus tice. But we know that all progress, worth making is possible with our pres ent form of government and that to sacrifice that which is of the highest value in our governmental structure for undefined and impossible reforms fs the wildest folly. We must face the danger with a clear knowledge of what it is. The Republican party Is equal to the task. It has had no nobler- cause. Let us close ranks and march forward to do battle for the right and the true." President Taft tonight sent tele grams to Governor Wilson and Chair man Hilles, of the Republican national committee. Here are the messages: "Cincinnati, Ohio, November 3. —Hon. Woodrow Wilson, Princeton, N. J.: I cordially congratulate you on your election and extend to you my best wishes for a successful administration. “WILLIAM H. TAFT." “Cincinnati, Ohio, November 5. —Hon. Charles D. Hilles, chairman Republican national committee, Times building, New York city: You have conducted a most difficult campaign in the face of unusual obstacles. I congratulate you heartily on the tight you have made and I am deeply grateful to you for it. "WILLIAM H. TAFT." WOODWARD ON TOUR OF INVESTIGATION IN CREMATORY BATTLE James G.

Democratic managers here predicted at 10 o’clock today that the final count would show that the New Jersey governor had carried the state by at least 2,000 and possibly more. The entire Democratic ticket swept the state, excepting the presidential electors still in doubt. In Cook county —including- Chicago—-the Democrats won after one of the hardest fights ever know n here. Maclay Hoyne. Democrat candidate for state's attorney, was elected after a neck-aud-neck race with William A. Cunnea, Socialist, who ear ly in 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, Rdbsevelt's strength was less than had been ex pected. His early lead, which was in dicated at 90,000, dwindled as the count came In until it practically disappeared. B’>ll 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. ‘ Uncle Joe” Cannon Wins by 80 Votes DANViLIe, ILL., Nov. 6.—Compleu unofficial returns from the six coun ties comprising the Sixteenth congres sional district Aow Joseph G. Cannon elected by 80 votes. It will take the of ficial canvass to decide the election Cannon today started for Panama. He said he confidently expected to be elected when the official vote war known. He refused to comment on the general result. “Uncle Joe” put up the fight of his life this year, and he had to make the fight single-handed. In former years the congressional committee has fur nished him six or more of the best na tional speakers to stump the Danville district. This year the ex-speaker, shorn of his power, made his appeals u his colleagues in vain. Not a speaker was sent to aid him.
