WILSON HAS 442 ELECTORAL VOTES

Governor Gains Illinois But Loses Minnesota. WYOMING IS ALSO SURE Democrats Will Control Senate Even If All Four Disputed States Go For Republicans. New York. Nov. 8-—The accession of Illinois and the loss of Minnesota gave President-elect Wilson a gain of 14 votes in the electoral college, making his total, on the basis of the present returns, 442 to 77 for Roosevelt and 12 for Taft. In California returns from 4,328 precincts out of a total of 4.372. give Wilson a plurality of 99 votes. Illinois for Wilson. Illinois, where Roosevelt’s plurality dwindled through the day, finally Went to Wilson by an estimated plurality of 15,042. The few missing precincts are in counties either normally Democratic or which gave Wilson large gains in this election. Edward F. Dunne. Democratic nominee for goAernor, was given the tremendous plurality of 110,654. Wyoming, which had been uncertain, landed safely in the Wilson column. '■ . -' * Late returns in Michigan failed to sh.O.W any marked change tn the plurality of Roosevelt or Governor-elect Ferris, but Taft and Wilson still are in the midst of a spirited race for second presidential honors, with the New- Jersey governor maintaining a slight lead. Practically complete returns from all but five of the ninety-nine counties of the state of lowa increase the plurality of Woodrow Wilson. The fig ures are: 169,162: Roosevelt, 149.540; Taft, 111.084. Wilson’s plurality, 19,622. Wilson Vote 6.476.601. Revision of the popular vote in dispatches from various states shows the following as the latest and closest estimate that can now be made: Wilson, 6.476.601; Roosevelt. 4,289.077; Taft, 3,519,108. Bryan's total popular vote in 190 S was. in the final official count 6.412805. :Democrats Will Control Senate. Control of the senate in the Sixtythird congress is now assured to the Democrats. Conceding to the Republicans all the four state legislatures which are close or in doubt, the Democrats will still have 48 votes, or onehalf of the entire membership, with a Democratic vice-president to cast the deciding vote in case of a tie A senator from any one of the four states yet to be heard from will give the Democrats a clear majority. Indications are that they will win in a number of these, thus increasing; their strength to a real working ma , jority. I

An interesting feature of the Sena- ‘ torial fight in the states is the certain election of Judge George W. Mor ris, Republican, by a Democratic leg-1 islature in Nebraska. Ninety-five per j cent, of the legislators signed an ’ agreement to support the majority nominee In the primaries under the Oregon plan, and will carry out their agreement now that they are elected, though it will cost the state a Democratic senator. Oregon for Women. Among the interesting results re corded are these: Oregon declared positively for woman’s suffrage, being the third Pacific Coast state to give women the ballot. Women now vote in every Pacific state. West Virginia voted for Prohibition but the law will not go into effect till July 1, 1914. In Madison county. Indiana. Eugene V. Debs, who is a resident, beat Taft bv morAithan 200 votes in the presidential race.

. among us. We had some pretty rough and hard men In the camps, and maybe we did suffer for want of a preacher. In the logging season we had hundreds of men, and my principal job was to keep our crews in good shape. The saw and the axe make trouble In the woods, not only for trees, but for men, and I have been called on to bind and sew hundreds of wounds.” Mr. Stephenson says that a long life and a simple life go hand In hand. ‘‘As a young man, I traveled across the snow twenty odd he said. ‘‘l swung a five-pound axe from dawn till dark. I slept in a blanket in the snow, ate crackers and pork and drank snow’ water, and w’as as healthy as a bear.”

TURK STRONGHOLDS REPORTED FALLING

Bulgars Have Practically Clear Road to Constantinopte. BATTLE LASTED TWO DAYS Unconfirmed Rumors State That Mar> astir and Adrianople Have Been Taken by Troops of Allies. Constantinople, Nov. B.—Turkey has bowed humiliatingly before the world. The cabinet, after a long conference, decided to accept the offer of the great powers to arrange an armistice with the Balkan allies and to abide by whatever conditions are imposed. This decision means that the Turks admit defeat. They now depend on the powers to procure the ebst terms possible from the unrelenting Balkans. London. Nov. 8. —The Turks have been driven in disorder from the Tchatalja forts and the Bulgarians now have practically a clear road into Constantinople. Sofia dispatches convey this history-making news. Some of the most severe fighting of the war attended this final defeat of- the Turkish troops. The battle lasted for two days. A hand to hand struggle ensued before the Bulgarians beat down the desperate defenders and poured in through breaches in the defense made by their artillery. Turks Are in Retreat. Then the Turks broke and fled. They are now reported to be in confused and disorganized retreat upon the capital. Panic has broken out in Constantinople. At the demand of the foreign ambassadors entrenchments are being thrown up at San Stefano and Klatkane to check the mob of soldiers who are fleeing toward the city. So threatening has the situation become that the powers are considering the advisability of forcing the Dardanelles with their waiting fleets so that the 6,000 men on these ships will be available for landing when the expected sacking of the city be gins. In this event reinforcements from the Russian fleet in the Black i sea will also be called upon to assist in saving life and property. Before the Bulgarians forced ths Tchatalja forts half a dozen villages in the vicinity of this last line ol defense were occupied by them. Moslems Fight Furiously, The dispatches say that the Turks fought with fanatical fury as if ths eye of Allah was upon them in theii last defense of holy city of Mo hammed. Acts of unparalleled brav ery were displayed op both sides. Ths Bulgarians are repeatedly forced back by the army which had already suf sered a series of brushing defeats The losses sustained by both armidt will amount into the Sunday next Is now fixed as the day for the entry of the Bulgaria! conqueror into Constantinople. A service of thanksgiving in the Mosque of St. Sophia is planned to commem orate the event. It is officially announced from Sofia also that the Turkish port of Rodosto. on the Sea of Marmora, and the city of Visa to the southeast of Adrianople, were occupied by the Bulgarian troops on November 5. On that date also the Bulgarians occupied the town of Drama, the Turkish troops in that region being scattered in all directions. There is confirmation, too, of the occupation of the Turkish town of Alessio and the port of San Giovanni

Swnatot Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, the oldest member of either branch of congress, is standing the scorching hot w’eather of the national capital better than any of his colleagues. In Wisconsin Mr. Stephenson is known as ‘‘Uncle Ike,” but among his senate associates he Is familiarly hailed as “Dr. Ike.” Although Mr. Stephenson makes no pretentions to a. knowledge of medicine as laid down in the books, and frequently admits that he is not abreast of the modern medical science, he has had a practical experience which he thinks fits him to give advice to the ailing. As far back as the early fifties, Mr. Stephenson was healing the sick. He was then in charge of various lumber camps in the Lake Superior region of northern Wisconsin. “For fifteen years,” said Mr. Stephenson, “we were without a doctor, lawyer, or preacher. We did not need a doctor, for I looked after the sick, and ad for a lawyer we got along pretty well, because we fought out with our fists the troubles that arose

dl Madua on the Adriatic sea. Monastir, also, where Fethl Pasha has a large Turkish army under him, is said to have been occupied by the allied Balkan troops, but the report lacks confirmation. * The Daily Mail prints the following dispatch from its special correspondent at Bucharest: “I have just arrived from Sofia. I have grounds for believing that Adrianople has fallen, but the Bulgarians are concealing the fact, lest the powers, realizing decisive point had been reached, should intervene before the capture of Constantinople; "Extraordinary efforts have been made since Monday to prevent news from getting out. Nothing has issued from Sofia except base banalities and the censorship has been extended to letters.” Taft Appeals for Aid. Washington, Nov. 8. —President Taft and the International relief board of the Red Cross society have issued an appeal lipboring the American people to aid the sick and w’ounded soldiers of the Balkan war. Contributions should be sent to the American Red Cross, Washington; to Jacob H. Schiff, Red Cross Office, United Charities building, New York City, or any other Red Cross treasurer.
