Fairbanks will receive for president and vice president respectively the largest electoral vote ever cast for a national ticket. Roosevelt carried New York by up­ ward of 185,000, and Frank W. Hig- gins, the republican gubernatorial can­ didate, will beat D. Cady Herrick* the democratic nominee, by 150,000 plu­ rality. The republicans carried both branches of the general assembly In the empire state and have gained five congressmen. . , v. Judge Parker did not carry a north­ ern state. Indiana went republican by 60,000 and republicans control both branches of the legislature. Roosevelt earned Wisconsin by 100,- 000 and La Follette has been re-elect­ ed for a third term as governor. Republicans will control the lower branch of congress by a majority of at least 66. Incomplete returns show a gain of one congressman in Dela­ ware, three in Illinois, one each in Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min­ nesota, Nebraska, New Jersey and Ohio and seven in New York. Late returns show that the fifty-ninth con­ gress will stand: Republicans, 226; democrats, 159; and union labor 1. The senate will stand fifty-seven re­ publicans and thirty-three democrats, the present ratio. Thomas H. Carter (rep.) will succeed Parts Gibson in Montana and William J. Bryan will succeed Senator Dietrich in Nebraska. Roosevelt carried tne state by 40,000, but the fusionists control the legisla­ ture. Roosevelt and Deneen probably have carried Illinois by 225,000. The Republicans carried Chicago for the head of the ticket by 103,818 and gained a majority over all of 52,208. The Socialist vote in Chicago was 41,- 595 and the Socialist labor vote 2,774. Elmer Dover, secretary of the Re­ publican national committee, received dispatches from Maryland indicating that this state may be for Roosevelt. . Missouri, ^hich was listed as doubt­ ful by the Republican committee* gave a Parker plurality of 35,000, which is nearly the Bryan vote of four years ago. Joseph W. Folk was elect-' ed governor of Missouri by a . large majority. By his election to the presidency by such an overwhelming majority Presi­ dent Roosevelt has not only broken all records in the number of votes re­ ceived, but has smashed the long­ standing superstition that no man chosen for thg vice-presidency could thereafter be elected president. The states that contributed chiefly to the success of the Republican can­ didate were New York and Indiana. The former surpassed all expecta­ tions by rolling up a plurality of more than 185,000 for the Republican tickot, and the latter was kept in the Roose­ velt and Fairbanks column by a plu­ rality of 60,000. ' In addition to these two pivotal states, the ones placed in the doubt­ ful column by the Democratic man­ agers were Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, Rhode Island and West Virginia, all of which went strongly Republican, with Roosevelt heading the ticket, as they did four years ago, when McKinley won over Bryan. Col­ orado, Idaho and Nevada also fell in­ to the Republican ranks. -The states that were conceded to the Republicans, notably Pennsylva­ nia, Ohio, Illinois, the Northwest and New England, in every Instance in­ creased the McKinley plurality from 10,000 to 50,000. Maryland and Mon­ tana also went for Roosevelt. The result by states: New York. Theodore Roosevelt carried New York state, according to late returns, by about 185,000 plurality. Frank W. Higgins is elected governor by less than 200,000 plurality and the whole Republican state ticket wins. The Republicans have made gains in the state legislature, both in the senate and the assembly, and the state will send more Republican congressman to Washington than ever before in its history. ^ Wisconsin. President Roosevelt carried Wiscon­ sin by about 100,000 and Gov. La Fol­ lette has been re-elected. Late re­ turns indicate that the next legisla­ ture will probably be republican, but the members will be so divided be­ tween the La Follette and stalwart factions that a deadlock is likely to result when the time comes for choos­ ing a United States senator to suc­ ceed Joseph V.

WILL HAVE NO THIRD TERM. President Declares He Would Not Ac­ cept Another Nomination. President Roosevelt will not again be a candidate. He annpunced this definitely after be knew the people of the country had overwhelmingly elect­ ed him to the highest office within their ggt. Expressing himself as deeply sensible of the honor done him, and declaring his appreciation of the confidence of his countrymen, he die ^ted to^ Secretary Loeb the foHowlii£ statement which sets at rest any spec­ ulation as to bis purpose in political life: "I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I .have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn re­ sponsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it. "On the fourth of March next I shall have served three and a half years, and these three and a half years con­ stitute my first term. "The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination." Among the first telegrams to reach the president the evening of the elec­ tion was one from his defeated antag­ onist, reading as follows: "Esopus, N.

Incomplete returns from a r^rfe- sentative number of counties in In­ diana show that President Roosevelt has carried the state by a plurality in excess of that received by Presi­ dent McKinley in 1900. The figures may go to 60,000. Democratic State Chairman O'Brien concedes that the Republicans have carried the state by 30,000 or over. He concedes the legislature to the Repub­ licans and the election of two Repub­ lican senators to succeed Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge. Massachusetts. William L. Douglas, Democrat, was elected governdr of Massachusetts by about 40,000 plurality. The .Democrats elected, besides the governor, three congressmen. The Republicans elect: ed all the state ticket but governor, eleven congressmen and a large ma­ jority of the legislature, which will elect two United States senators. Returns from 325 out of 353 cities and towns gave Parker 124,668, Roose­ velt 188,464. , Kentucky. Parker carried Kentucky by 10,000 majority. Out of eleven congressmen nine Democrats were elected^ ' Illinois. ' • '3^; Roosevelt and Fairbanks carried Illi­ nois by about 225,000 plurality over Parker and Davis. The entire Republican state ticket is elected by overwhelming^ pluralities. , Republicans elected certainly twen­ ty-one and possibly twenty-three of the twenty-five congressmen. Ohio. Ohio has broken her record. Based on late returns, the state has given 200,000 plurality to Roosevelt. California. Returns indicate that California will give Roosevelt not less than 50,000 plurality, and It may reach 60,000. The Republicans probably have made a clean sweep in the congressional dis­ tricts, electing all eight by large pin. ralities. The state legislature is Re­ publican. * Nebraska. ' Nebraska will give Roosevelt a plu­ rality which will reach nearly or quite 40,000. George W. Berge, the fusion candidate for governor, is probably elected by a plurality of from 5,000 to 8,000. The returns on the remainder of the state ticket are coming in slow­ ly, but indicate that the republicans will elect most of their candidates. Maine. Three hundred and fifty cities and towns in Maine out of 519 for presi­ dent give Parker 24,730; Roosevelt 57,946. On this basis the republican plurality in Maine is estimated at 37,-. 000. * Pennsylvania. The Republicans have elected twen­ ty-nine of the thirty-two congressmen, carrying all the doubtful districts. They have also elected twenty-five of Jthe twenty-six candidates for the state senate and about 175 of the 204 members of the house of representa­ tives. This gives them an overwhelm­ ing majority in the next legislature, and insures the election of P. C. Knox of Pittsburg, the appointee of Gov. Pennypacker, to succeed the late Sen­ ator Quay.. Colorado. Estimates indicate a plurality of over 10,000 for Roosevelt in Colorado. Democrats claim that Adams is elect­ ed governor by 7,000 to 8,000 plurality, with a probability that the remainder of the democratic State ticket is also elected. , To this the President responded: "Alton B.

Henson, a labor man, nominated for the senate by the republicans, had a hot fight and was elected. This is Lawrence B. Stringer's own district, he having represented it in the senate, but its political complexion was chang­ ed by the reapportionment. Stringer carried his own town of Lincoln and his county of Logan by 200. The Thirtieth district shows a '?t$r publican loss of a senator due to re- districting. George W.
