WILL PRACTICE LAW

PRESIDENT TAFT OUTLINES FUTURE AFTER MARCH 4. Receives News at Cincinnati of His Defeat at the Polls With Smiling Countenance. Cincinnati, 0., Nov. G. —President Taft last night received the returns of the election at the home of his brother, Charles P. Taft. Aside from Charles P. Taft, Mrs. Charles Anderson, Mrs. Taft’s sister-in-law, and other members of the family were present although many friends dropped in during the evening. That he was under less strain than the others at the dinner table was evidenced by his cheering and smiling countenance. “Assuming that you are defeated, what are you going to do; are you coming back in 1916?" he was asked, “Do you mean between Wilson and me? No.” Then the president gave out his program for future years. He said that he would return to Cincinnati and practice law. but that he would not take any more law business than would be necessary to make a living for his family and^WmsHf—‘to keep the wolf from the door.” as ht put it. He would devote, he said, all his remaining time and thought and energy “tip preserve the life of constitutional government.” As report after report flashed in giving nine out of every ten states to the Democratic candidate, an air of gloom and despondency settled over the Taft home. C. P. Taft, who "had sunk over half a million dollars in his brother’s fight for renomination and re-election, hovered over the hope shattering ticker like a grim visaged wraith of discontent. Finally when a press summary of the states already definitely heard from gave Governor Wilson more than the required 266 votes in the electoral college, most of the members of the watch party gave up hope.

Was Republican Bolt.

William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republican state committee, gave out the following statement: • "The result in the state of NewYork demonstrates one thing—that the Roosevelt movement was simply a Republican bolt and drew to almost no extent from the Democratic party. With all of the frantic efforts that were made to secure votes from people generally, the result shows that practically none but former Republicans joined the Roosevelt movement.”

EDWARD F. DUNNE.

York headquarters conceded that Roosevelt had carried Illinois Governor Deneen apparently is defeated for governor by his Democratic rival, Edward F. Dunne, who ran like wild in Chicago.

East St. Louis, 111., Nov. 6.—ln this city, Wilson leads, for president; Roosevelt is running third, but is polling more votes than anticipated, as Taft beat him badly in the primary at / East St. Louis.

WOODROW WILSON IS ELECTED

Chosen President of United States. DEMOCRAHGLANDSLIDE Party Sweeps Country In Battle ol the Ballots. SOHO SOUTH IS STILL SOLID Roosevelt Runs Second Country Over, With Taft Third. New York, Nov. 6.—Chairman McCombs of the Democratic national committee announced that the victory for Governor Wilson was complete. He said that Wilson had carried Massachusettes, Maine, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, New Jersey and all of the south. New York, Nov. 6.—Chairman Dixon of the Progressive party claimed Illinois, Vermont, Michigan, Pennsylvania and lowa for Colonel Roosevelt New York, Nov. 6.—Woodrow Wilson, whose experience in active politics is only a little more than two years old, will be the next president of the United States. He has carried every eastern state except Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire. He has jumped across the Rockies and may have carried Oregon. His plurality in the state of New York is, anywhere from 150,000 to 200,000. i ? Taft has carried Rhode Island,' as the returns indicate, and also New Hampshire. The Progressives claim Pennsylvania and Vermont for Roosevelt. Illinois has been carried by, Roosevelt by a good sized majority. Returns Come Slowly. Returns from any of the western states, from which any accurate notion can be obtained of how the states of the plains and beyond the Rockies

S. M. RALSTON.

have voted for president and vice president are exceptionally slow in arriving. The ballot machines of Minnesota have rebelled against the liberties taken with them by the splitters of tickets and a legal question has arisen as to whether votes put into them after 9 o’clock, the hour for closing the polls, are legal votes. New Mexico, which the Progressives thought as sure for Roosevelt, has apparently been carried by Wilson. California is safely for Roosevelt, but North Dakota, which the Democrats thought was safe for Wilson, seems to be equally divided between Taft and Roosevelt.

Wilson Has Electoral Majority. But in spite of the slowness of returns from the plains and mountain states of the west, there seems to be ho doubt that Woodrow Wilson, with the solid south and the solid east, or almost the solid east, behind him, will not only have a plurality of the popular vote, but will have a majority in the electoral college. Results in the several states are summarized as follows: - New York —Carried by Wilson with between 150,000 and 200,000 plurality. Congressman William Sulzer defeated Straus and Hedges for governor. Illinois —Roosevelt is victorious by plurality of 100,000. Edward F. Dunne (Democrat) is elected governor over Charles S. Deneen, present incumbent. Indiana —Claimed for Wilson and Ralston (for governor.)

Pennsylvania—Conceded to Roosevelt. California —Carried by Roosevelt. Mississippi—Ten electorial votes for Wilson by large majority. Florida—Wilson gets all six electoral votes of state. North Carolina —Democrats elect state ticket and congressional delegation, and give Wilson at least 20,000 majority. South Carolina—For Wilson by about 60,000. Nevada —Wilson carries state, party lines being ignored in the voting. Georgia—Strong for Wilson. State officers and legislators all Democrats. Arkansas —Wilson carries state by plurality greater than that of Bryan in 1906. Virginia—Wilson carries the state by 40,000. Delaware —Gives substantial majority for Wilson. Legislature is Democratic. Kentucky—Congressional delegation is composed of nine Democrats, one Republican and one Progressive. Missouri—Swept by Wilson and Major, Democratic candidate for governor. Congressman Borland safely elected. Nebraska Apparently carried by Wilson. Wisconsin—Large plurality for Wilson is indicated. Vermont —Gives its electoral vote to Roosevelt. Minnesota—Claimed for Wilson by 39,000.

GEORGIA ALL DEMOCRATIC

Wilson Carries State—State Officers and Legislature of Same Faith. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 6.—Georgia has returned all of her Democratic congressmen. The state house officials have all been elected and are Democratic. The legislature is strictly Democratic, not a Repcblican or Progressive being returned. Wilson carries the state by two to one majority. Tenth congresional district went for Wilson by seven to one orer all other candidates. The Socialist vote throughout the state is practice a]ly nothing. Rcosevelt received more popular vot-s than President Taft, due to the influence of Tom Watson, who deserted Wilson two weeks ago, charging that Wilson had joined the Knights of Columbus. Watson’s following as thrown into the Progressive column by this nieans and caused the Republican vote given Taft four years ago (41, 692) to be cut nearly in half.
