Totals 418 99 8 President Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey; Vice President, Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana. With the election of Woodrow Wil son of New Jersey as president and Thomas R. Marshall of Illinois, as vice president, the Democratic party on Tuesday won a three cornered presi dential contest at the polls that had been waged for months before the TT?*U?<J Ctninr. Citizens en lutse uuucu gmt<?. Wilson and Marshall received more than 400 votes in the electoral col lege, to be exact 418. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, the candidate of the new Progressive Party, ran second with 99 votes? carrying the states of Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan and Wash ington. President Taft, the Republican can didate carried but two states?Utah and Vermont, each having four votes. Summing up, Wilson 418, Roose velt 99, Taft 8 and these figures tell of the overwhelming Democratic vic tory, the first for the party since 1892 when Grover Cleveland defeated Ben jamin Harrison. The states of Idaho, New Hamp shire, South Dakota and Wyoming do not figure in above, the definite re suits not being announced. Generally good weather prevailed and served to bring out a heavy vo* , in fact new records were created in many places over the country. President Taft spent the morning hours of election day at the home of his brother, Charles P. Taft, in Cin cinnati, and appeared at the polls early in the afternoon to cast his bal lot. The President expressed confi dence that he would be returned to the White House. Ex-President Roosevelt devoted the morning to correspondence and then in company with several neighbors left his home in Oyster Bay, N. Y., and went to the polling place in a fire truck house and cast his ballot shortly after 12 o'clock. The Progres sive party nominee heard the returns at his home on Sagamore Hill. Governor Woodrow Wilson was the nrst or xne mree caiiuiaaies iu cast his vote. He dropped his ballot in a polling booth in an engine house in Princeton, N. J., and as he emerged from the voting booth smilingly ob served that he had "voted the straight democratic ticket." Gov. Wilson heard the returns at his home in company with his family and a few friends. DEMOCRATIC HEAD! Early returns from New York and the seaboard state were the cause of much exultation at Democratic Na tional Headquarters in New York city. Chairman McCombs, soon after 7 o'clock sent word to Gov. Woodrow Wilson that his election was indicated by an overwhelming vote. Later in the evening he made the following statement: if "Victory is now complete. The re turns are coming in so fast that I ALL WIN; DEMOCRACY ML GOVERNMENT MTO OFFICE BY TREMENDOUS r SEVEN STATES. ?ROOSE SECOND. | Governor Hiram W. Johnson, of | California, the vice presidential nom inee on the Progressive party ticket, could not return to California in time' to vote, as he filled out Colonel Roose "velt's speaking engagements in the East after the Colonel had been shot. Governor Johnson spent the day in New. York City and heard the returns at the Progressive party headquar ters there. Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, democratic candidate for vice-president, cast his vote shortly after 9 o'clock at his home in India napolis. He walked to the polls with a friend. The vacancy on the republican tick et, caused by the death of Vice-Presi dent Sherman was not filled and Sher man's name remained on the ballots. Reports received by the national chairman of the three parties showed that heavy votes were being cast throughout the country. Half of the voting in Massachusetts in. the cities and towns had been cast by 11 o'clock while republican state headquarters in New York said that two-thirds of the vote in New York had been completed at noon. The leaders said that in New York there was the smallest percentage of non-voters in the history of the fetate. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and, in fact, every state in the middle West, cast an early heavy vote, which indicated that all records would be broken. Splitting of "ballots were reported in Michigan, while there were evidences of scratching of ticket at many points in New York State. The size of the popular majority given the Democratic National ticket, for the states outside of Illinois that mis'ht ziv? electoral votes to either I Taft or Roosevelt, were matters of conjecture at midnight Tuesday. It waB certain however that Illinois would give an'overwhelming majority to Roosevelt; while the race in Penn sylvania was so close as to bring all three candidates within range of suc cess. Early 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 West began to come in these earlier estimates were confirmed and Mon tana, Nebraska and New Mexico were added to those that seemed certain for the Democratic candidates. Rhode Island also became a doubt IU1 stale Oil llie rciurus ire#i ijjiu night and based on the later votes reported it seemed not wholly improb able that its five electoral votes would give an apparent victory to Taft in New Hampshire and Vermont, but the Taft pluralities dwindled as midnight approached to a very few hundred votes in each state and seemed likely to be wiped out entirely. Finally New Hampshire gave Wilson a majority. . The uncertainty regarding Vermont was settled by the announcement of the complete vote which gave Taft a majority of 924 votes. The vote in Utah reported up to midnight showed that the state was carried by Taft. The vote in Penn sylvania was very 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 Xew York State Assembly seemed to be overwhelmingly Democratic. QUARTERS IS HAPPY cannot keep up with them. "Governor Wilson has carried Mas sachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, Xew York, Maryland, New Jersey and all of the South. National Committee man W. R. King wires that Wilson will get 10,000 plurality in Oregon. I believe we will carry Pennsylvania for Wilson. "I have reports which are suflicient to elect Governor Wilson overwhelm ing without the Western states which are not in." Roosevelt Concedes. Shortly before midnight Tuesdaj Colonel Roosevelt made the following statement: "The American people by a greal plurality have decided in favor of Mr Wilson and the Democratic party Like all good citizens I accept the re suit with entire good humor and con tentment. As for the Progressive cause I can only repeat what I have already so many times said, the fatt of the leader for the time being 1b o( little consequence, but the cause itseli must in the end triumph, for its triumph is essential to the well being of the American people. (Signed) "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." About the same time tie issued tne statement Colonel Roosevelt sent the following telegram to Governor Wil son: "The American people by a greal plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift. I con gratulate you thereon. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." New Jersey by 35,000. Newark, N. J.?New Jersey gave Wilson a plurality estimated from 35, 000 to 45,000 over Roosevelt. Taft ran third. His vote was less than half ol Wilson's. The heaviest vote ever cast in the state and a long ballot delayed the count. Only 127 districts of the state, 1,779 had been heard from al midnight. They gave Wilson 8,401! Taft 3,972; Roosevelt 5,832. Ten of the state's representatives in the next Congress will be Demo crats, two will be Republicans. The Democrats gain three over their pres ent Republicans. William Hughes; Democratic nominee, likely will suc ceed Frank O. Briggs as United States Senator. Whether the next president of the State Senate, who will succeed Wil son as Governor, will lie a Democrat, was undetermined by early returns. Georgia by 30,000. Atlanta, Ga. ?

Two coun ties, Haralson and Paulding, are credited to Roosevelt. Taft did not carry one. Arkansas by 60,000. Little Rock, Ark.?Wilson carried Arkansas by about 60,000 majority Roosevelt ran second.

"A great cause has < triumphed. Every Democrat, every true progres sive of whatever alliance must now lend his full force and enthusiasm to the fulfillment of the people's hope-r the establishment of the people's right so that justice and progress may go hand in hand." This was Governor Wilson's first utterance of a public character after his acceptance of the reports that he had been elected. Wilson a.t Home. Princeton, N. J.?Governor Wilson sat Tuesday night with a party of friends around a brilliantly illumN nated dinner table as the election re turns began to come in earlier than was anticipated. The first results the Governor got were favorable and his comment was: "That's vptv pnrouraeine." The returns that continued to come in from Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York all favored Wilson and the party about the dinner table showed its pleasure. Capt. "Bill" McDowell, the Texas ranger, who is the Governor's body guard, read a stack of returns and fell so happy that he exclaimed: "I wonder if I'd get arrested if I just shot off my guns. If it keeps up this way I'll have to just 4urn 'em loose." / Captain McDonald is a close friend of Colonel Roosevelt, but differs with him politically. \ The Governor was not overconfi dent. When shown the returns from New York city, he smiled, "I'm sup posed to earn* the city 3 to 1 in order to win the state," he said as> he con tinued his dinner leisurely. Marshall Talks. \ Indianapolis, Ind.?Gov. Tlomas R.

Bryan's Hymn. Lincoln, Neb.?William J. Bryan expressing his pleasure at the election of Governor Wilson said: "As a religious hymn has been hrnncht into the eamDaien by one oi the parties I think that I am justfled in using the lines of another hymn to express my feelings: " 'This is the day I long have sought, " 'And mourned because I found it not.' "I am happrier than Governor Wil son for his joy is repressed by a sense of responsibility, while I am happy and free. "My confidence iu Governor Wilson has grown with acquaintance and 1 feel sure that he will live up to ex pectations. I believe he listens to his conscience." Taft Hears News. Cincinnati, O.?In the same house where he heard the news of his vic tory over William J. Bryan four years ago, President Taft Tuesday night rqad the bulletins that told the story of the election. Four years ago Mrs. Taft, Miss Delia Torrey of Mulberry, Mass., his favorite aunt, and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth were present to hear the news. Tuesday night the President and C. P. Taft and Mrs. Charles Anderson, Mrs. Tans sister, were the only members of the family present but a few friends drop ped in during the evening. The President 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.

Your splendid victory has borne fruit. I am sure your administration will prove a blessing to the Nation and a source of strength to our party." Kentucky Swept By Wilson. Louisville, Ky.?Although it became evident early in the night Wilson would carry Kentcky by a heavy ma jority at midnight it appeared that another day would be required to take exact measure of his victory. Several strong Republican counties went into the Democratic column and Lee county for the first time in its history gave a majority for the Demo cratic nominee. . 0- 'A V ' ' * ' i'.Ulf' Taft^ jdmits Defeat. Cincinnati, O.?President Taft at 11 o'clock Tuesday night conceded the election to Governor Wilson. ; He Is sued the following statement from his brother's home here: "The returns insure the election of Governor Wilson to the presidency.

It was the first time Massachusetts had ever favored other than a Republican for President Taft and Roosevelt ran about even. Slight gains were made by the Demo crats in the 16 congressional districts, but the Legislature appeared, on the face of early returns, to be practically unchanged.
