ELECTORAL VOTE OF 452 GOES TO WILSON Great Popular Vote Given to New Jersey Governor — Democratic Landslide. New York, Nov. 11.—Although final returns have not been received In all of the states it now appears that Woodrow Wilson, democrat, will have the largest electoral vote ever given a candidate. Wilson’s plurality is not so great as early returns Indicated. Of the 15,000,000 votes polled he has re ceived approximately 6,000,000. Roose velt receivel a little over 5,000,000 votes and Taft less than 4,000,0000. Taft carried three states, Idaho, Utah and Vermont with a total of 12 elec toral votes. Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania. Michigan, Minnesota. Washington and South Dakota and has a slight lead over Wilson in California. The other states went to Wilson. The split in the republican party was fatal all along the line and republican majorities were overturned in states that never before were out of the re publican column. The democrats made great gains in the various states, cap turing legislatures and congressmen. The Wilson administration will have a congress in sympathy with it as the democrats are assured of a big major ity in the house and will control the senate by a margin of from one to four votes. The complexion of the new leg islatures in several states is not yet known. The big surpises of the election were afforded by Iowa, which gave Wilson a plurality of about 13.000; Kansas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana *11 of which returned democratic plur llities. Nebraska gave Wilson about SO,000 plurality. In Kansas the demo crats swept everything, defeating fetubbs for the United States Senate, and electing the full democratic state ticket. The republican state ticket pulled through in Iowa by small plur alties. Byrne was elected governor of Booth Dakota in a hard fought con test with Johnson. George W. Norris has been elected senator from Nebras ka. receiving a large majority over Shallenberger, democrat. Fails of Majority. A by-phase of the general election that became known today was the •uccess of woman's suffrage in four 9f the five states where constitutional amendments were submitted to the people The victory of the women was complete in Kansas, Arizona and prob ably Michigaij; 'a*o returns from Ore gon indicated they had succeeded there also, while from Wisconsin came re turns showing the decisive defeat of the equal suffrage proposal. MINNESOTA SWINGS FROM WILSON COLUMN St. Paul. Minn., Nov. 11—Late returns today swung Minnesota from Wilson to Roosevelt and the colonel probably will carry the state by about 15,000. Roosevelt found his greatest strength the rural districts. The vote complete from 1,880 pre cincts of the 3,963 precincts including those in Hennepin and Ramsey coun ties, shows Roostvelt received, 91,985: Wilson, 84,117; Taft, 50,789. Roosevelt tn the canvass of votes is gaining an average of seven and one-half votes on Wilson in the county and should this ratio continue his plurality would ma terially exceed claims already set up by his followers. Governor Eberhdrt was re-elected by a plurality of 30,000. The election of the entire republican state ticket is practically assured. Senator Knute Nelson led all the re publican state candidates. Returns from about two-thirds of the precincts indicate that nis plurality over Dan W. Lawler will be about 30, 000. Ringdahl led the democratic ticker. It is not probable Taft’s vote will greatly exceed 75,000. Collins, progressive nominee for gov ernor, probably has polled less than 40,000 votes. DEMOCRATS BEAT OUT STUBBS FOR SENATOR Topeka, Kan., Nov. 11—Later returns today from Kansas, Increased Wilson’s plurality over Roosevelt and that of W. H. Thompson, democrat, for Uni ted States senator over Governor Stubbs, republican. The fight for governor between Ar thur Capper, republican, and George H. Hodges, democrat, had narrowed down to a few hundred votes. Nlnty-six counties out of 105 give these pluralities: Wilson, 12,000; Thompson, 10,500; Capper, 800. It Is estimated that the remaining counties will give Wilson a total plur ality of 15,000 and Thompson, 12,000. In the nine missing counties, some of which are democratic, It Is predicted by the democratic state chairman that Hodges will easily overcome Capper’s lead. At noon today the count In several counties still was unfinished.

New York, Nov. 11.—With no Inten tion of taking “No" for an answer, th« Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King, minister of labor of Canada, has come to this city to take Hazel Macfarlane back with him from the glare of the footlights of the Academy of Music, where she Is playing, to the splendor of his home in Canada. Why did Miss Macfarlane. 20 years old, come to this city? It Is a romance of a girl with a desire to become a “star" against the advice of her friends and parents, and even against the wish of the man who has followed her here to make her his wife. Miss Macfarlane Is the daughter of T. D. Macfarlane, Inspector of mines of the Canadian government In Yukon. For several years she has been In Westminister college, in Toronto, and took part In amateur theatricals. With her sweet voice and winning ways she thought that her future on the stage would be assured, and gave up her so cial life tc make her way alone in this city, strange to her until two weeks ago. While in Toronto sne met Mr. King, and Cupid’s darts hit both. There la a whisper that the two were engaged to marry, and all was going along swimmingly until one day, when Miss Macfarlane decided that her happi ness lay In the theater rather than In the home of the man who loves her. Miss Macfarlane is playing In “Ha vana.” Without letting her know he was In town. Mr. King went to the theater last night and sat In the first row. When Miss Macfarlane discovered him, her acting was for him alone. But to make it harder for Mr. King, it Is said that a prominent Toronto doctor Is also in the city, desirous of winning Miss Macfarlance’s hand. NURSE WITHOUT PAY DURING STORK’S DELAY Santa Barbara, Cal., Nov. 11.—If you are expecting a visit from the stork and accordingly call In a nurse and the stork procrastinates to the extent of three or four weeks the nurse has no legal right to charge you for the time put in during the interim. Such a ruling was made by Superior Judge N. P. Conrey of Los Angeles, holding court here. Miss Bertha Sluman, a nurse, several weeks ago filed a suit against Mr. and Mrs. Frank Churchill for wages that she alleged were due for the time she had waited for the stork to appear. In a justice's court she came out victorious, but the Churchills carried the case to the su perior court, and the decision was re versed.

Miss Elizabeth says, In place of giving them dolls, took the younger sister away. It has been her lifelong wish to see her sister again. 4 PROCLAMATION. 4 4 4 4 By the President of the Uni- 4 4 ted States—A Proclamation: A 4 4 God fearing nation like ours 4 owes it to Its Inborn and sin- 4 4 cere sense of moral duty to tes- 4 4 tlfy its devout gratitude to the 4 4 all giver for the countless ben- 4 4 eflts it has enjoyed.

COMMONER SLATED FOR CABINET JOB Will Be Secretary of State or Ambassador to England if He Wishes Either Place. Washington, Nov. 9.—William J. Bryan will be the premier of the Wil son cabinet If he will accept the po sition. He can have the secretaryship of state or the ambassadorship to ths court of St. James. This comes from close friends of Governor Wilson. At the same time much doubt Is expressed whethor Bryan will take either office. Already demands are being made by big business that Wilson name a con servative cabinet. Governor Wilson recognises his obligation to Bryan and knows that if he should not proffer him a cabinet place It would be resented by Bryan's friends. Think Bryan Has Plana. Many who believe Bryan will not ac cept office under the new administra tion, think he will stand aloof and plan to seek the nomination himself In 1916. Wilson is planning a strong cabinet. He feels that It will not do to start on his four years with a weak corps of advisors. He wants a strong and trusted lawyer for attorney general. Senator O’Gorman, of New York prob ahly could have the place If he would give up the Senate, but It Is not be lieved he will, and Louis D. Brandela, the able and progressive Boston lawyer. Is generally considered the probable man. It Is plain that scores of as pirants for cabinet Jobs will spring up. Wiley for Agriculture. Dr. H. W. Wiley, former chief of bureau of chemistry and Congressman Burleson, of Texas, are mentioned for the department of agriculture as are two or three others. W. G. McAdoo, of New York, is men tioned for the treasurer, but It de veloped today he would prefer the waf department, because, as a great en gineer, he Is Interested in the PanamA canal. While Henry Morganthau. of New York Is talked of for the treasury. Insiders say that Governor Wilson will probably give this place to Professor Ford, of Princeton, an old and trusted friend and co-worker, an authority on finance and head of the New Jersey bank and Insurance department. Jerry 3ullivan Boomed. Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina* who was chief clerk of the interior de partment under Hoke Smith, and whf» Is one of the original Wilson men, can probably have the Interior department If he wants It, though several other* are talked of, Including Jerry SulllvAn of Des Moines and Fred Lynch, of Minnesota. For the postofflee department. Con gressman Burleson, also mentioned for agriculture Is a possibility, though be cause of his progresslvlsm, Wilson needs him In the House and Congress man Lloyd, of Missouri, Is spoken of. For the navy mention Is made of Joslah Quincy, of Boston, and several other Massachusetts men and Chas. R. Crane Is a possibility for commerce and labor. However, the department of labor bill will probably pass this winter and this will give Wilson an additional cabinet officer to name who may b# Chairman Wilson, of Pennsylvania, of the House committee on labor.
