Vote Proves Theft, Say T. R. Men NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Returns made public at Progressive headquarters show that Roosevelt was an over whelming victor over Taft in the pop ular vote. When the final returns are in. it is expected that the former pres ident will lead by more than 1,000,000 votes. The combined popular vote for Roosevelt aud Taft far exceeds that for Wilson, and Progressive leaders to day declare that this proved their charge that Roosevelt had been de prived of the nomination by theft, and that had he been nominated lie would have swept the country, except in the solid South. They pointed out that the Wilson vote was not up to expectations, and asserted that Roosevelt drew from him. The states that gave Wilson their electoral votes, President Taft and Roosevelt combined polling the larger popular vote, were: Colorado. Connecticut. Delaware. Il linois, Indiana, lowa. Kansas, Maine. Montana. Nebt i-ka. Nevada, New Hampshire New Jersey. New Mexico, New York. North Dakota. Ohio, Ore gon, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Wyoming. 'Die electoral vote of these states to tals 225, which, had they gone to Roose velt. would have given u clear majority in the electoral college. At the Chicago national convention, Taft received 501 votes out of 1.162 comprising the convention's make-up. Os this number, six were absent and 420 refused to vote. If the national convention had been constituted ac cording to the vote of the two men. state by state, on Tuesday. Roosevelt would have been the choice of the Re publican national convention by the following vote: Roosevelt 714. Tuft 334 This does not include the vote of the territories. Washington for T.

LONDON, Nov. B.—The housing ques tion in Jerusalem is one that Is receiving considerable attention at the present moment There are many fine buildings hi and about the Holy City, but they are surrounded by what in this country would be called slums. y f.. w wealthy i Bokhara JeXvs have, indeed, built them selves tine mansions, but the great mass <>; the population can scarcely afford to have decent houses. A project has accordingly been mooted m I.ugland of forming a small garden suburb outside Jerusalem, in which the house., will be let to the better class artisan at a rental of something between S4O and SSO per unnum. The garden city movement has made great progress in this country: it is recognized as offering an excellent solution for the housing problem of large Industrial cities, and at the same time fostering the love of the land and of nature, which the modern coneentration of the poulation in towns has threatened. Laud can be bought fairly cheap in the outskirts of Jerusalem, and it has been calculated that a substantial little house, with half an acre of ground, could he provided for about SI,OOO The garden could be planted with tigs, olives and kitchen vegetables, for which there is a market in the city, and the tenant would thus be enabled to add u little to his Income by the care of his land. The house would be laid out ac cording to a plan, which would preserve the natural beauty of the site. Communication with the city would be established by a bus, or possibly, if the concession could he obtained, by a tram way. The success of Tel-Arbid, the colony outside of Jaffa, augurs well for the pro posed movement for Jerusalem, where the need is much greater than in Jaffa, if the scheme succeeds completely it will certainly be the forerunner of many oth ers. Besides. It will preserve the beauty of the hills around the Holy City. Sir John Grey Hill, who for thirty years has possessed a beautiful house on one of the spires of the Mount of < (lives, is very much interested in the garden city scheme. Ex-Gov.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 8. -With more than 50 prominent scientific farmers of Georgia present and all booming Dr. i Horace E. Stockbridge, of Atlanta, for the second vice presidency, the farmers' na tional congress was formally opened here today in the Winter garden. More than 2,000 delegates are present from every section of the country, no matter how remote. Dr. Stockbridge delivered a short re sponse to the addresses of welcome from Governor Hall, Mayor Behrman and other city officials. The election of Dr. Stockbridge is al most assured as no opposition has devel oped. The election will be held tomorrow afternoon at the session in the Progress ive Union auditorium. A resolution is being framed by the. leading delegates of the congress to call upon President-elect Woodrow Wilson to remove James Wilson as secretary of agriculture and substitute Dr. 11. W. Wiley, the noted pure food expert and victim of Taft policies. Sentiment is strongly in favor of the resolution and It will he adopted. Third Party to Complicate Congress WASHINGTON, Nov. B. The vote cast last Tuesday for Roosevelt, placing him second in most states and first in a few, is expected to complicate matters this winter in Washington when It comes to naming presidential commit tees and boards and the making up of congressional committees. According to long usage, members of the minority are also recognized by the majority leaders ami given appointments. Senator Dixon already is out witli the claim that the Progressives have unseated the old line Republicans in second place. In addition to this, precedents fail to disclose any reason why President-elect Wilson after March 4 should‘not ap point Progressives upon committees and boards instead of Republicans, should he desire to do so. Progressive Rule. But when it comes to action by con gress, there is a different situation. There is no question but that there will be more Republicans in the house and senate than Progressives, yet many of these Republicans have strong Progres sive tendencies and are members of the Insurgent band which united witli the Democrats in overthrowing Speaker Cannon. Therefore, if this Republican faction in congress sees fit to unite with the majority, it is quite possible that tlie old line Republicans will be a neg ligible force when it comes to a round ing up of tlie patronage and the com mittee appointments. To add to the general unrest in congressional camps, it is quite possible that with the Demo cratic majority practically doubled last Tuesday, tlie Democrats will split into two factions on legislation. Tlie rift has already appeared in the attitudes of Representatives Burleson and Henry, of Texas. They are notably out of sympathy witli Floor Leader Under wood, and Representative Henry as pires to the speakership of tlie house. LaFollette For Minority Leader. Robert Al. LaFollette, senator from Wisconsin, bids fair to become the Re publican floor leader of the senate. Although a Progressive and father of all progressives in that body, the sena tor in refusing to support Roosevelt or Wilson and to vote for Taft, has kept himself in the Republican ranks. Sin glehanded during the last session he made the weight of his principles felt, and should he now succeed to the floor leadership he has the opportunity to bank behind him many of the Republi can senators, reinforced by several no- T. R. BACK TO HIS EDITORIAL DESK Too Busy for Political Confer ences and Will Not Talk Politics. NEW YORK. Nov. 8. —Colonel Roosevelt returned to his office at The Outlook today for the first time since h<‘ was shot at Milwaukee. He made the journey by automobile and train from Oyster Bay. He announced that he expected to hold a number of con ferences during the day to outline the future program of the Progressive party, but later said tiiat he had found so much business accumulated for him at The Outlook office that he would have no time for any political confer ences until next week. However, he said he expected calls from a few personal friends during the afternoon. He refused to make any statement on the result of the election, saying he wanted full official returns before lie made any statement. The colonel looked the picture of health. “I feel line,” he said, "but, boy/, 1 won't have anything for you today. Not a word on politics, but I would like to say something about football—” The colonel is a Harvard inair and one of the reporters was a Princeton graduate -"but it would seem like rubbing it, in wouldn’t it?” he laughed as he poked the Princeton man in the ribs. "But a Ha vard man ought to have a chance to say a little something after his team has won for the first time in a quarter of a century.” Wilson Wins in Montana by 5,000 BUTTE, MONT.. Nov. B.—Returns to day from 26 out of 31 counties assure that the Democratic national and state tickets, with the exception of state treasurer, have carried Montana. Wil son's plurality is 5,000, while the state went 6.000 for Walsh, Democrat, for United States senator, over Joseph M. Dixon. Incomplete returns indicate that the Democrats will have a majority of twelve on joint ballot in the legisla ture. Idaho Still in G. O. P. Column BOISE. IDAHO, Nov. B.—ldaho’s complete unofficial vote on the presi dency gives Taft a lead of 537. The figures are: Taft 30,241. Wilson 29,704, Roosevelt 14,356. Haines, Republican, for governor, re ceived 29,424 votes, against 27,081 for Hawley, Democrat. The official count may change the presidential result. “Nick” to Carry Fight to Congress CINCINNATI. OHIO, Nov. B.—Nicho las Longworth, defeated for congress by less than 100 votes in the First Ohio district, will carry the fight onto the floor of congress if the official count determines that his opponent. Stanley Bowdle, Democrat, has won. There have appeared apparent dis crepancies in the total vote that may reveal gross errors in the tabulations. tables in the progressive column, and hold a formidable minority in the upper house. From returns received up today the probable make-up of the senate will be: Democrats 48, Republicans 45, doubtful 3, with a Democratic vice president to give a single vote to the Democrats In case of a tie, and acording to the way things are framing up, "Fighting Bob” LaFollette will be a welcome ally to the minority Republicans. Propose Tennesseean For Sherman’s Place CHATANOOGA, TENN., Nov. B. Chattanooga may furnish the Repub i ; lican candidate for vice president, to take the place of the late James S. Sherman, in the person of United States ' Senator Newell Sanders. He is known to be in favor with the administration and probably the majority of the mem bers of the national Republican execu tive committee that meets in Chicago November 12 to declare the successor of the late vice president. The South ern members of the committee are be lieved to favor Senator Sanders to a ’ unit. The name of Governor Herbert S. Hadley, of Missouri, has already been mentioned. It is understood that he will not accept the honor, and it will devolve upon the distinguished Chatta noogan to carry the second place on 1 the ticket for the retiring administra -1 tion. lowa for Wilson By 15,000 Votes DES MOINES, IOWA, Nov. B.—Unof ficial returns from 98 out of 99 counties • in lowa available today show George W. Clark, Republican candidate for governor, a few votes in the lead. These returns give Clark 176,182. E. G. Dunn. , Democrat, 176,099. This is a plurality • of 83. Harrison county, whose figures have not yet been sent in, is reported to show a plurality of 37 for Dunn, reduc ing Clark's lead to 46 votes. Official canvass will probably be necessary to determine the race. Wilson carried the state by 15,000.

Nov. 8. —President- 1 elect Wilson’s mail these days amounts to considerably over 1,000 letters a day. ’ The first mail this morning was 920 . letters, of congratulatory nature. This I is entirely aside from the thousands of telegrams that have been coming al , most continuously. The governor answers each letter and ‘ telegram with a personal letter. “Nearly everybody who writes apolo gizes for adding to the number of let- , .ers,” said the governor. ( The governor was asked today if he had read Congressman Underwood’s , statement favoring an extra session of congress immediately after the inaugu ration. i “Yes,” he said, ”1 noticed Mr. Under- i • wood's statement. I have read several i editorials also about immediate action.” 1 He did not add anything that would . seem to commit him to an extra ses- ' ’ slon, however. , i The governor was greatly pleased 1 i that Illinois and California were safely in the Democratic column.

Brown said to day he would reply to the letter of James D. Price within the week, ana make known in writing the executive views in the matter of the so-called short term in the commissionersip of agriculture, and Mr. Price's color of ti tle thereto. The governor said he would not make public his reply to Mr. Price. He say s Mr. Price, however, may make the re ply public, if he so desires. While the governor would say noth ing to indicate what he will say to Mr. Price in his letter, It is not likely that he will give the aspirant for the unex pired term of Mr. Hudson any encour agement whatever to expect a commis sion to office from the present governor As is well known, the governor holds that there can be no election of a suc cessor to Mr. Conner, the present com missioned until the legislature has can vassed the vote and declared the result —and that can not take place before next June. Mr. Price received 502 votes In the October election for "the unexpired term of Thomas G. Hudson,” and has demanded that he be commissioned bv the governor. the Princeton university football game here tomorrow. Joseph E. Davis, of the national com mittee, was a visitor today. Mr. Davis said that in Illinois the people are re ferring to President-elect Wilson as “Abraham Lincoln,' with a college edu cation.”
