' VI i ' PRESIDENT Theodore Rooseyelt Before ' Midnight Telegraphs ' Congratulations. WILL BET 0ER 350 VOTES IN ELEGTflRflL COLLEGE Plurality In Greater New York Greatest In His tory of the City. New York, N. Y., Nov. 5. . Shortly before midnight Colonel Roosevelt sent the following telegram to Gover nor Wilson: "The American Eeople by a great plurality ave conferred upon you the T highest honor in their gift. I J congratulate you thereon." New York, Nov. 5. Woodrow Wil son will be the next President Such was the verdict of the people of the United States rendered today in un mistake able terms. For the first time in history .accord ing to the New York Sun, the Demo crats came down to the Harlem river with a majority. The Associated Press , says that Wilson has carried Massachu- -setts, Maine, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Ohio and all of the Southern States. Incomplete returns from In diana show that he has a big lead in that State. The New York Sun gives him 309 votes in the electoral college considerably more than enough to elect, This' is a very conservative estimate. Theodore Roosevelt before midnight, eonceded Wilson's election and wired his congratulations. - The St. Louis Globe Democrat says Wilson is elected by a landslide. The The Cincinnati Times Star, owned by a brother of President Taft, in qn extra edition says: "Democrats appear to have a sweeping victory". President Taft carried Vermont by the narrow margin of 924 votes. At midnight the indications were, according to a telegram from Newark, that Wilson had parried New Jersey by 40,000. , , Roosevelt appears to have carried Iowa,, Michigan and possibly Illinois. Wilson carries California by 20,000. Roosevelt carries South .'Dakota. The Story by .Bulletins. Brooklyn, 'IN. Y, Nov..-. 5.
