P. STRONGHOLDS Early Returns Give Democrats Solid South, Conn., Del., Ky., Maine, Md., Mass., N. Y., W. Va., Ind., Wo. T. R. Gets Illinois. New York, Nov. 5. With the elec tion of Woodrow Wilson to the Presi dency and Thomas R. Marshall to the Vice Presidency assured by the earl ier returns tonight, the reports up to midnight gave indications that the electoral vote of the Democratic can didates would pass the 300 mark. The size of the popular majority giv en the Democratic National ticket, or the States outside of Illinois that might give electoral votes to either Taft or Roosevelt, were matters of conjecture at midnight. It was cer tain, however, that Illinois would give an overwhelming majority to Roose velt: while the race in Pennsylvania was so close as to bring all three candidates within range of success. Karly returns gave-Governor Wil son and Governor Marshall the "Solid South." and the States of Connecticut, Delaware. Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, West Vir ginia, Indiana and Missouri. As the night advanced and, returns from the W'pst began to come In" these earlier tFtimates were confirmed and -Mon-. tana, New Jersey and New ; Mexico were aded;.jtQtstpat';9eemed cer tain for tne Democratic candidates, while scattering returns - from . San Francisco and Los Angeles made it probable "that California might join the Wilson-Marshall column. Rhode Island also became a dout tful State on the returns near midnight, and based on the later votes reported it seeme not wholly improbable that its five electoral votes would go to Wilson. The early returns gave on apparent victory to Taft in New f mp shire and Vermont, -but the Taft plur ality dwindled as midnight approach ed to a very few hundred votes in each State, and seemed likely to be wiped out Entirely. The vote in Utah reported up to mid night indicated the State might be car ried for Taft. The vote in Pennsylva nia was amazingly close, the returns from over a thousand precincts em bracing over 185,000 votes giving each of the three leading Presidential can didates more than 60,000 votes. The New York State's Assembly seemed to b? overwhelmingly Democratic. In Illinois indications were that Judge Dunn, the Democratic candidate for Governor, had won. Former Speak er Cannon seemed to have been defeat ed for re-election to Congress in Illi nois. In addition to Roosevelt's certain victory in Illinois the confident claims of the Roosevelt managers that Iowa, Michigan and Kansas would fall into the Roosevelt column' seemed verified by the partially complete returns at an tarly hour this morning. The returns from California were, meagre, but left the State in doubt between Wilson and Roosevelt. The uncertainty regarding Vermont wns settled by the announcement of the complete .vote, which gave Taft a majority of 924 votes. At 12:45. the Providence, R. I., Jour nal conceded that State to Wilson, and with the vote close in New Hamp. -hire it seemed probable that New En sland, with the exception of Vermont, had gone over to the Democratic col umn. The election of Governor Wilson, of N'f.v Jersey as President, and Govern or .Marshall, of Indiana, as Vice Presi d nt by a safe majority of electoral votes, was made certain by incomplete returns received from the country at htrgo up to 10 o'clock. With Pennsyl vania. Indiana, Ohio and other large States represented by only meagre re )"rts. the success of the Democratic ticket in a majority of the heavily pop i.h'ted States was certain. The early returns gave Governor Wilson the "Solid South", and Connec ticut. Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Ma ryland, Massachusetts, New York and apparently West Virginia, Indiana and Missouri. Roosevelt's victory in Illinois, con ceded early in the evening by the Dem ocratic leaders, promised at 10 o'clock f carry with it a plurality greater than 100.000. New Hampshire and Vermont ap parently had given a majority to Taft, on the basis of fairly comprehensive returns, received at that time. The States where results were rea sonably certain at 10 o'clock gave tue following electoral votetj: Wilson, 267; Roosevelt, 29; Taft, 8. Wilson In Connecticut New Haven, Conn., Nov. 5. With all but 15 towns in Connecticut heard from Governor Wilson's vote is 69, 2o, Taft's 63,919, Roosevelt's 30,793. PRESIDENT-ELECT , " -t," ' ' . ' - . I 5 GOVERNOR vWQODROW WILSON. Governor Baldwin's, plurality is about 10,000-. . v ' Minnesota Democratic St. Paul. Minn.. Nov. 5. It seemed at 11:30 P. M. as if Wilson had won in Minnesota. Returns from 105 pre cincts out of 3.9G3 gave Taft 6,330, Wilson 9,178, Roosevelt 8,188. Gov ernor Bberhardt, Republican candi date for re-election, at 11 P. M., was leading the State ticket. Celebrate at Princeton Princeton, N. J., Nov. 5. The cele bration of victory by Princeton stu dents began at 11 o'clock tonight when the bell in Nassau hall where the con tinental congress met, began to toll as a signal of Wilson's victory. Tolling the bell is an old Princetonian custom when the college is successful in any contests. Students began to gather with band instruments, pennants and torches and formed a parade that pass ed down through Bayard lane, past the Grover Cleveland house to Governor Wilson's residence. Friends who were with the Governor while the returns were coming in found difficulty in getting him to con cede that he had won. Dudley S. Malone. son-in law of Senator O . Gor man, of New York, came out of the room where the returns were being read and said laughingly: "The Gpv ernor refuses to be elected." His message tp Chairman McCombs was his first statement admitting that all doubt of his election had passed. ' Wilson Carries Maryland. Ba4timore, Nov. 5. Woodrow Wil son tarried Maryland by from 20,000 to 25,000 plurality, estimated from fig ures received up to 11 o'clock tonight. Roosevelt ran second. All of the five Democratic Congressmen from Mary land were re-elected and the indica tions favored the election of J. S. Smith, Democrat, in the Fifth district. Taft Carries Vermont. White River Junction, Vt., Nov. 5. President Taft carried Vermont today by 924 votes. Complete returns show the following result: Taft 23,247; Roosevelt 22,323; Wilson 15,397. N. J. for Wilson. Newark, N. J., Nov. 5. New Jersey has given Wilson a plurality estimated upon meagre returns of 35,000 to 45, 000 over Roosevelt. Returns at mid night showed Taft in third place. His vote was less than half of Wilson's. The heaviest vote ever cast in the State and a long ballot delayed the count. Only 127 districts of the State's 1,779 had been heard from at at mid night. They gave Wilson 8,401; Taft 3,972; Roosevelt 5,832. Ten of the State's representatives in the next Congress will be Democrats, two will be Republicans. The Demo crats gain three over their present rep resentation. Hughes, Democratic nom inee, likely wilT succeed Briggs as United States Senator. Whether the next president of the State Senate, who will succeedvWilson as Governor will be a Democrat, was undetermined by the early returns. Taft Hears the News Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 5. In the same house where he heard the news of his victory over William J. Bryan four years ago, President Taft tonight read the bulletins that told the story of today's election. Four years ago, Mrs. Taft, Miss Delia Torrey, of Mul berry, Mass., his favorite aunts and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt' Longworth were present to hear the news. To night the President and C. P. Taft and Mrs. Charles Anderson, Mrs. Taft's sister, -were the only members Of the family present, but a few friends OF UNITED STATES. dropped, in durjng the evening. r'i'WMPfsIdenr was cheerful, and smiling and apparently was under' ' less strain than other members of the family dinner party at the home of his brother, C. P. Taft. The President voted shortly before noon today, spent a few minutes at Prosperity League headquarters and then returned to his brother's house to rest. Mr. Taft has many times declared his intention of returning to Cincin nati and resuming the practice of law if defeated and that intention, it was said tonight, not to have been altered. Massachusetts Democratic Boston. Mass., Nov. 5. Indications with half of the State tabulated are that, Massachusetts has iavorea a Democratic candidate for President for the first time in its history. Gover nor Foss 'ftpparentily was reelected by an increased plurality and incom plete returns Item the 16 Congres sional districts showed the Democrats to have made slight gains. Returns from 547 out of 1,102 voting precincts in the State gave Roosevelt! 53,644, Taft 59.803, Wilson 77,616. The same precincts in 1908 gave Bryan 71,308, Taft 105,982. T. R. Congratulates Wilson Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 5. Shortly before midnight tonight Colonel Roose velt made the following statement: 'The American people by a great plurality have decided in favor of Mr. Wilson ahd the Democratic party. Like all good citizens, I accept the re sult with entire good humor and con tentment, 'As tor tne rogressive cause I can. only repeat what I have already so many times said, the fate of the leader for the time being is of little consequence, but the cause itself must in the end triumph, for the tri umph is essential td the well being of the American people. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." About the same time he issued' his statement Colonel Roosevelt sent the following telegram to Governor Wil son: . "The Americaa people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in theis. gift. I con gratulate you thereon. -''THEODORE ROOSEVELT." W. Virginia for Wilson Wheeling, W.

Upwards of 50,000 Majority for State Ticket and 25,000 for Senator FAIR WEATHER PREVAILED Taft and Settle Ran Poor Seconds All Congressmen Elected No Second Primary Craig's Vote Satisfactory Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 5. Returns come in slowly from over the State, but the figures in hand show a large vote with Wilson carrying the State by 50,000 majority, his vote probably be- ' ing 140,000, with Roosevelt 55,000 and Taft 35,000. - Locke Craig, Democrat, for Gover nor, gets about 150,000 to Iredell Meares, Progressive, 50,000, and Thomas Settle, Republican, 30,000. The present ten Democratic Con gressmen are re-elected. In the Senatorial primary Senator Simmons has apparentily 25,000 ma jority over Governor Kitchin and Chief Justice Clark. That he has-won the nomination is assured. (Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 5. Beyond the known fact that North Carolina has given big Democratic majorities for the National and State tickets in the general election and has re-nominated Simmons for the United States Senate over Kitchin and Clark in the Senatorial primary,- remarkably little detail of results are known here to night. Results in the Senatorial primary have been telegraphed in from coun ties to the neglect in" a'femar'kabje degree of figures, as to general elec tion votes beyond statements that the Democratic majorities are well main-' tained. In all the absorbing Senato rial contest, it seems Certain that Simmons is re-nominated by certainly 15,000 or 20,000 majority. He is claiming it by 25,000 or 35, 000. Returns indicate that Simmons has received majorities in all Congres sional districts except .the Fifth and Second and that he has a small plu rality over apponents in the Second.. While in the Fifth, Kitchin probably has 1,200 to 1,500 majority. At Kitchin headquarters tonight the statement is being made that returns . are entirely too meagre yet to form any definite conclusion as "to the real result. They do not concede the nomi nation of Simmons yet. While State Democratic headquarters received al most no detail reports on the State election there are assurances that Craig gets around 50,000 majority and that Meares has probably" polled a larger vote among Republicans than Settle for Governor. All ten Demo cratic Congressmen are returned by good majorities. Statement Fram Rogers Raleigh, N. C, Nov: 6. At 1 A. M. the following statement was giv en out from Simmons' headquarters: "Senator Simmons has carried by com plete majorities over both opponents eight of the ten Congressional dis tricts in the State and in the other two Kitchin may possibly have 200 in the Second and 1,500 in the Fifth. "It appears that Judge Clark has carried a single county in the State and a pluarlity in only one, Union." The vote is lighter than was gen erally expected. But the proportion is favorable to Simmons. Have ex ceeded the estimates given out at Simmons' headquarters last night so that the total majority in the State will probably reach 25,000 to 30,000 as estimated, notwithstanding the light total vote. Harnett, County. Dunn, N. C, Nov. 5. Six out of 12 precincts had been heard from at mid night. These gave Simmons 585; Kitchin 298; Clark 74. The indica tions are that the county and State ticket will be elected by about 400 ma jority. Godwin, for Congress, leads the ticket. Lenoir, Greene and Craven. Kinston, Nov. 5. Reports from 12 precincts out of a total of 18 In Lenoir county show the following results: Simmons 1,096; Kitchin 551; Clark 63. The Democratic majority for the Na tional, State, Congressional, State Sen atorial and county tickets will be about 1,100 over the combined oppo sition. Although not a single precinct has reported the correct Vote at this hour, advices from Greene report that the county is giving about 400 majori ty for Kitchin. Jones gives Simmons 450 out of a total vote of 700; Duplin will give Sim mons probably 300 majority, and in Onslow, indications point to a slight majority for Simmons. Some Western Counties. Charlotte, Nov. 5. Returns from the Western counties of the State are com ing in slowly. Simmpns carries Gas ton by 403; Lincolnton by 400 to 500; Rutherfordton by about 1,200; Burke by 800; McDowell bybout 50Q; Surry by a small .majority. Judge Clark car ries Union by a little over 100.
