WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. Surrounded by
his devoted family and a company of inti
mate personal friends. President Roosevelt
tonight received the news of his over
whelming victory at the polls of the Amer
ican people.
The first information of a definite char
acter was received by the president while
he was at dinner. The returns laid before
him then were In the nature of assurances
that he had carried New York, his home
state, by a plurality so large ns to be
really astounding.
Bulletins from the newspapers of New
York City were received conveying the
welcome news. While the president was
gratified. It may be said that the result
was not entirely unexpected, although he
himself had not expected so tremendous a
victory.
These and rapidly succeeding bulletins,
each conveying to him more cheering news,
were read and discussed by the president
with surprising calmness. He was in the
best of spirits, but at no time did he mani
fest the slightest nervousness or anxiety.
Assured, as he said, that the campaign had
been conducted on a plane of principle find
patriotism as lofty as he himself would
have It, and that everything had been done
which legitimately could he done to Insure
the success of the principles which had
been promulgated by the republican party
and by him, he had awaited with perfect
confidence the verdict of Jhe people.
Soon after dinner a company of the Inti
mate friends of the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt assembled In the parlors of the
White House and extended their felicita
tions and congratulations to both of them
on the result. Among those present were
Secretary Hay, Assistant Secretary Loomls
and Miss Hitchcock, Mrs. Morton, Mrs.

At 10:16 o'clock the president left his
guests at the White House and went to his
private office in the executive building.
There he greeted a large number of the
corps of Washington correspondents, who

with them about the result of the election,
making no attempt to conceal his great
gratification at the victory which had been
won. After talking Informally with his
friends for a time the president dictated
a formal statement expressing his views.
The scene at the moment of the making of
the statement was notaBle. Ranged in a
seml-clrcle about the big desk In the presi

Roosevelt as he tilted back, in an arm chair
and dictated the announcement slowly to
Secretary Loeb, who sat at the president's

pletely blocked. It was a good natured
crowd and all seemed to be republicans
for the time, as the names of Roosevelt and
Hlgglns were often and heartily cheered.

KENNEDY LEADS HITCHCOCK
Over Five Hundred Ahead in Only Tweney
Eight Precincts.
BURGESS CLAIMS ELECTION OF MICKEY
Chairman (owell Declares Repub
licans W ill Elect Their Fall Ticket
to the I.ealnlatnre from
Donalaa County.
Results In the Second congressional dis
trict In twenty-eight precincts showed Ken
nedy had 2.836 votes and Hitchcock 2.3a
votes, .giving Kennedy, republican, a lead of
640 votes.
Both Kennedy and Hitchcock at 1 o'clock
said they felt reasonably sure of election.
"So far as "we have returns," mid Mr
Kennedy, "I am ahead. Of course we have
not enough to be certain, but If they con
tinue to come ln ss they have I will be
elected. The returns we have are from all
parts of the district nnd I see no reason
why they should not be a forecast to the
rest. I feel confident.
In answer to the question what he con
ceded Mr. Hitchcock said:
"Oh, we concede the election of Presi
dent Roosevelt all right. For myself I
feel reasonably confident of election."
At 1 a. m. A. W. Jefferls, chairman of
the republican congressional committee,
said: "Kennedy Is elected, of course. The
returns are not complete, but we are
ahead."
"One hundred and twenty precincts re
ceived," said Chairman H. C. M. Burgess
of the republican state committee, "give
Mickey an Increase of 298 votes over his
vote ln 1902. The precincts received are
from all parts of the state and as repre
sentative for one as the other. I feel con
fident Mr. Mickey Is the man. If the
figures continue ln the same ratio he should
get at least 8,000 and probably 8.000. The
legislative returns look splendid. In ,fact,
we believe the whele ticket is elected."
Regarding the gubernatorial contest, Mr.
Hitchcock claimed the state for Berge,
democrat, by 10,000. This was at 1 o'clock.
Democratic headquarters also claimed the
election at the same hour of Berge, Hitch
cock and English. At 1:30 twenty-nine pre
cincts had been received giving Mickey
2,614 and Berge 2,784.

SLOW WORK IN LANCASTER
Returns Coming; In Slowly and Demo
crats Making; Claims Based
on Guesses.
LINCOLN. Nov. 8.-(Speclal Telegram.)
Countlng balolta In Lancaster county lias
been slow work and little over half of
the precincts ln the county have been heard
from. These returns were on the governor
ship only, and no news haa been received
oa the national ticket, or on the legislative
or 'oongreeiaonal ticket Chairman "Allen
of the democratic state committee says
he expects Congressman Burkett to ba
elected by hjs usual majority and that the
entire republican legislative ticket will bo
elected. At 1 o'clock he Issued this state
ment: "Indications at this hour point to tha
election of Berge. He la running ahead
everywhere, and If present gains continue
ho will have 10,000 majority. Mickey's ma
jority In Lancaster will be 1,000 less than
two years ago."
The democratio state1 committee, how
ever, has received no returns from out In
the state and Allen bases his estimate en
tirely on the Berge gains ln this county
over the vote of Thompson.
Tom Munger claims that Mickey will be
elecetd by at least 10,000 and the State
Journal, based on Its returns received
from out In the state, claims his election.

1,800.
MINNESOTA
ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 8. Roosevelt re
ceived a record-breaking plurality ln Min
nesota, going far beyond McKlnley'a mar
gin of 77,000 four years ago. On the face
of the returns so far received the repub
lican electoral district will have a plurality
of over 100,000. Parker's vote was much
smaller than that received by Bryan four
years ago, and Roosevelt was especially
strong ln counties which of old were popu
list strongholds. In Kittson county, for
example, Roosevelt polled 1,600 as against
100 for Parker, whereaa McKinley carried
the county by 300. In St. Paul and Ramsey
county Roosevelt will have' close to 7.600
plurality, nearly 700 greater than McKln
ley's vote. Despite the tremendous plur
ality for Roosevelt, the democrats appar
ently have elected their candidate for gov
ernor, John A. Johnson. Ho Is running well
ahead of the vote cast for Llnd, democrat,
who was defeaetd four years ago by 2.30O.
At democratic headquarters, Johnson's
election waa claimed by a plurality of
from 20,000 to 22,000. Chairman. James A.
Martin of the executive committee of the
republican state central committee claimed
the election of Robert C. Dunn, the re
publican candidate, but admitted that the
result would be close. The republicans
elect the balance of their state ticket. No
returns have been received from the legis
lative candidates, but it Is generally con
ceded that with their holdover senators, the
republicans will have a good majority on
Joint ballot, ensuring the election of a re
publican successor to United States Senator
Moses E. Clapp.

gram. 1 Iwa has given not less than U'5.000
republican plurality and elected ten repub
lican congressmen, with a bare possibility
of eleven. Returns from nearly one-third
of the precincts of the state show that
while there was a smaller total vote than
four years ago, the republican plurality
has been almost uniformly Increased. The
avernge Increase of the republican plu
rality, so far as heard from, was nineteen
to a precinct. With this increase main
tained the republican plurality would go
up from 88.000 to about moon. Conserva
tive estimates at republican headquarters
place the nmount at 125.000 or over.
The only district In the state about which
any doubt was admitted at republican
headquarters was the Second. Chairman
Spence did not have sufficient returns upon
which to base an estimate, but claims the
election of A. F. Dawson. Chairman Mor
rlfsey of the demorratlc committee hnd re
ports Indicating that Judge Wade ran
ahead of his ticket and Is probably elected
by a small plurality.
The republican plurality In the First dis
trict Is about the same as before and ln ths
Sixth Lacey has about 6.000 plurality. In
tvery other district of the state the plu
rality has been lncrend. The total vote
of the state will he about 600,000, as against
520,000 four years ago.
Socialists Show Strength.
In this city the socialists showed surpris
ing strength and their vote was almost
equal to the democrats In many precincts.
Chairman Morrlssey of the democratic
state committee stated he could not under
stand the situation ln Iowa, but at mid
night declared he would not be surprised if
late returns would show that even Judge
Wade was beaten.
The biennial electlona amendment Is be
lieved to have been carried In the state,
but the amendment providing for an In
crease In the slie of the legislature was
defeated.
Republican congressmen elected are:
First district. Thomas Hedge; Third dls
trlct, B. P. Blrdsall; Fourth district, O. N.
Haugen; Fifth district. R. Q. Cousins;
Sixth district, John F. Lacey; Seventh dis
trict, J. A. T. Hull; Eighth district, W. P.
Hepburn; Ninth district, W. I. Smith;
Tenth district. J. P. Conner; Eleventh did
trlet, ' E. H. Hubbard.
No returns are complete for any county
ln the state tonight.
At republican state headquarters the last
claim on congressmen ln the three districts
about -which there was some doubt was
l.WV) majority for Dawson In the Second,
3,000 for Hedge in the First and 4,000 for
Lacey in' the Sixth district.
ROOSEVELT HAS 317 VOTES
Returns Make It Necessary for Secre
tary Dover to Raise His Pre
election Estimate.
CHICAGO, Nov. 8. Secretary Elmer
Dover of the national repuMlcan commit
tee says Roosevelt will have 317 electoral
votes. He said:
Owing to differences In time and greater
distances in the western states, the returns
are meager and Incomplete. They indi
cate, however, that the sentiment which
curried the east prevails ln the west, and
I think Justifies our 'claim that we will
carry every doubtful state. I would revise
my pre-election estimate by giving Roose
velt 317 votes Instead of 311. The result
of the election Indicates that the penplo
are satisfied with the record of the repub
lican party for eight years and in addition
to a party indorsement the victory Is h
great personal triumph for Theodore Roose
velt. PIERRE IN LEAD FOR CAPITAL
Six Thousand Majority in Eastern
South Dakota Out of 104
Precincts.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 8. (Special
Telegram.) Reports from 104 precincts in
eastern South Dakota, Including practi
cally complete returns from only a few
counties and scattering returns from others
gives Pierre for capltul a majority of about
6,000.
From returns at hand Pierre will retain
the capital of South Dakota by a majority
of at least 15,000 to 20,000. It Becured a
heavy majority In Mitchell's territory. The
result was due to Jealousy of other towns
toward Mitchell and the belief that Pierre
having won the capital In two prior con
tests, should retain It.
Tho returns over tha county are coming
In very slowly. The largo ballots make the
counting slow. From reports received to
this hour national and state tickets will
have about 600 majority In city and county.
The county ticket Is badly cut up on one
or two places, but the republican ticket is
probably elected In full, the officers being:
Treasurer, N. H. Farr; sheriff, Samuel
Logan; auditor, W. A. King; register of
deeds, Archie Potter; clerk of the courts,
O. E. Besaicon; superintendent of schools,
Ida H. Hatch. Tho county will give about
900 majority against capital removal.

NEBRASKA IS IX LINE

Usually the Case.

The proborblnl slow returns for N
brnska seem to be retarded more than ever
by the unusual length of the ballot. Only
some sixty precincts out of the 1,700 ln tha
state were reported at the hour of going
to press with this early edition.
On president, Nebraska has gone over
whelmingly for Roosevelt, estimate? of h'a
plurality going as high as 60.000. In thla
the general tidal wave for the prerl.lent
throughout tho country Is caught up and
reflected. Roosevelt Is running stronger
than McKinley did four years ago. Parker
seems to be getting the better of WaUon
In the figures so far In.
Ten out of twenty-two voting precinct
ln the city of Lincoln give Roosevelt a
plurality of K.'8. The same precinct gave
McKinley a plurality of 840. The city of
Lincoln will give Roosevelt close to 1900
plurality against against 1,777 for McKin
ley. Governorship In Doubt.
The governorship Is claimed by both side
and must await more complete return.
The first ten precincts reporting oa gov
ernor Indicated that Mickey, republican,
was railing behind his vote of two year
ago. "fheso precincts gave Mickey (rep.)
1,211 and Berge (fus.) 1,264, whriaa tho
same precincts in 190H gave Mickey (rap.)
1,362 and Thompson fus.) 1,187, the net
loss of Mickey being 190.
Eleven precincts out oi twenty-two ln
the city of Llncolnshow a net loss for
Mickey of 161.
Governor Mickey, however, is making
substantial gains in Omaha and Douglas
county over two years ago.
The Bee's lates" Utals on governor give
Mickey 6,1U and Bergi 6,974 In sixty pre
cincts outsldt of Douglas, as against 8,619
for Mickey-J nd 4,631 for Thompson, twa
years ago. ' ' ' ' ' '
The rest of the state ticket below the
governor Is safely republican.
All kinds of estimates and claims are
being made by the different political man
agers and representatives of opposing can
didates. From Lincoln somes a report that
Bryan claims the election of Berge by 8,000.
'Democratic State Chalrmnn Allen put the
figure at 10,000 mnjorlty for. Berge. Tho
republican chulrnmn says Mickey will yet
be shown to be in the lead.
Claims are mnda of the election of all
six. of the republican candidates for con
gress by substantial majorities. Hitchcook,
democrat, ln the Second, refuses to con
cede the election to Kennedy, republican,
but the latter is well ahead In the returns.
No Idea of the result on legislature can
be had from the eurly reports.
Later editions of Tho Bee will give fullest
returns available from time to time.
In DonKlas County.
Twenty-nine precincts out of 102 In Doug
las county give RooBevelt 3,015. Parker, 1,405,
Twenty-nlno precincts out of 102 In Doug
