Herald-Review. By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. Somebody must have shot the dove of peace. Dr. Wiley’s “poison squad” is to re- sume its experiments, but it will not tamper with wood alcohol. It seems that no matter how many attempts are made to revive hoop skirts, the ladies sit down on them. A Chicago woman says her husband is rigat in style, as he has a dark brown taste in his mouth every morn- ing. A New South Wales woman has a scheme for curing consumption with hot air.. But hasn’t this been tried ineffectively before? All the married women are getting their lives insured. Will the hus- bands continue to warn them about drafts and damp feet? There is sound sense in that de cision to keep on remarrying divorced people. Business in that line is get- ting bigger every year. It is simply wonderful how much some American railway officials can forget about their business when they get on the witness stand. The whole state of Connecticut should rise as one man and run down the miscreant who is trying to de- stroy its armor plate namesake. Cornell students are being “expelled for hazing. Evidently the authorities at Cornell have decided that it is about time to take hazing seriously. A fashion paper says that the Fall gowns will contain thirty yards of ma- terial. We can readily understand why some men are driven to divorce. About the best thing that can be said for war, as the discussion now in progress indicates, is that sometimes it is a bad way of getting good re- sults. 7 The doctors say free lunches serve to spread diseases. There are peoplé who will insist that anyone who would tackle free lunch deserves to catch diseases. A Chicago milkman has sued a stock company for the value of cer- tain shares in which he invested $200. Presumably there was too much water in the stock. Automobiling may cause the legs of its devotees to waste away and be- come useless, but it.tends to cultivate strength and activity in the legs of or- ding pedestrians. \ Chicago girl has been awarded $40,000 damages against a street car company after nine years of litigation. The question now is, How long will it take her to collect it? Whether man descended from the monkeys or from the gods is not near- ly so important as the question of his present conduct and the promptness with which he pays his bills. An esteemed contemporary says there is a “marked conflict of views to the remarriage of, innocent par- ties to divorcees.” What is an “in- nocent party to a divorcee?” If Jupiter has any inhabitants they must have been more or less inter- ested lately in observing the transit of an insignificant planet, known here as the earth, across the sun’s disk. Witboi, the chief of the Hottentots, has declared war on Emperor Wil- liam and the German nation generally. William has got good fighting stuff-in him and we believe he is going to win. “An epidemic of rabies has struck this town,” wrote an editor, but the printer spelled “rabies” with a “b” instead of an “r” and now the editor blushes every time he appears upon the street. Even the London Times says it can’t understand Mr. Kipling’s latest book. This is probably the first time on record that the Times has admitted its inability to understand anything and everything. “Jack Root predicts that Jim Jef- fries will be champion until his teeth fall out,” says the San Francisco Bul- letin. And a chap will face him some day ere long with a punch that will make ’em fall out. To a man like the sculptor St. Gau- dens the loss by fire of his studio, with its irreplaceable treasures, em- phasizes with peculiar pathos the sig- nificance of the truth that “Life is short and art js long.” Ten million pills were taken into a New York police court as evidence the other day. Now let the mathe- maticians get busy and tell the world how high the pills would have reached if they had been piled one on top of another. “~\ Mr. Alfred Austin, England’s poet laureate, can see little good in the present generation. He says tbat manners and iiterature alike have declined. The poets, too, are deteri- orating. Perhaps there is one excep: tion, just one. Pe Democratic Leaders Early Conceded That the Republicans Had Carried the Doubtful States—Darker Sends Con- gratulations to the President. New York Slate Gives Republican Ticket a Plurality Estimated ROOSEVELT ELECTED — BY LARGE MAJORITY * at Close to 185,000—Indiana Gives Roosevelt a Fair Plurality. ‘ Republicans Have an Increased Majority in Congress— Roosevelt Announces That He Will Not Again Be a Candidate for the Presidency. If Maryland has gone Republican, as unofficial returns at this hour in- dicate, the Republican vote in the electoral college will be_the unprece- dented one of 325 for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, to 151 for Parker and Davis. Not only is this far in excess of Mr. . 292, in 1900, but in four less than that given Mr. an four years ago. It is practically certain that the Repub- lican National ticket has carried every state in the Union outside of the so- called “Solid South.” It may take the official count to decide Maryland. The result was astounding even to the most sanguine: of the Republican managers. Confident as they were of success, they were not prepared for the astonishing figures which followed the closing of the polls, bringing into the Republican column, not only all of the states they had Claimed as safe for their candidate, but with the possi- ‘ble exception of Maryland, every state classed as doubtful. Mr. Parker has not carried a single state which did not give its vote to Mr. Bryan four years ago. Unofficial returns indicate that he has lost some of those which the Nebraska candidate held for his party. Official figures from some of the Northwestern states may slightly change the totals, but based on the returns available at a late hour the electoral vote stands as follows: For Roosevelt— Electoral Vote. Colorado . ~S California 10 Connecticut : Delaware 3 Idaho oe B Tilinois +27 indiana 15 lowa . 13 Kansas 10 Maine 6 Marylan s Massachusetis .16 Michigan . 14 Minnesota a Montana 3 New Jersey: . 12 Nebraska 8 New Hampshire .

Florida Georgia Kentucky Louisiana Mis: ippi Missouri North Carolina South Carolina ‘Tennessee Texas Virginia seceee aoe This shows a total electoral vote of for Parker, As a dramatic climax to the sensation- al majorities given him, came President Roosevelt's formal announcement that he would not be a candidate for re-election. Late in the night an announcement from Melvin G. Paliser, manager of the campaign for. Thomas’ E. Watson, candidate of the People’s party, that as a result of the overwhelming Democratic defeat steps would be taken to form a new party. To this and according to the announcement given out, Mr. Bryan, Mr, Watson and William Randolph Hearst would hold a conference in New York in about a week's time. ‘he period of suspense that followed the closing of the polls was not prolonged. In no election in recent years has the result been definitely known so ‘soon, So convincing were the early bulletins that at 7:30 August Belmont at Demo- cratic headquarters conveded Rooseveit’s election by an overwhelming majority and half an hour later the Democratic leaders who had managed the campaign freely admitted that the Republicans had carried every doubtful state. The Republican majority in the next house of representatives will be not less than fifty. NEW YORK. Roosevelt’s Native State Gives Him About 185,000 Plurality. ‘Theodore Roosevelt's plurality in this, | Kinley’ 268,000 in 1896. It exceeds Mc- Kinley’s in 1900 by about 41,500, The late returns show that there were cast_for ‘him in New York state about 185,000 votes more than for Parker. Not only was his vote heavy in the country dis- tricts, where the Republican strongholds are, but in Greater New York, tradition- ally Democratic, he ran much closer to Judge Parker than had been expected | even by his own campaign managers. It had been estimated that he would come | down to the Bronx with better than 140,- 000-plurality, but the figures showed that this forecast would be exceeded by ap- proximately 85,000. In the city Parker's supporters had ex- pressed hopes that their candidate would have from 140,000 to 160,000 more than Roosevelt, but in this they were disap- pointed by more than 100,000 votes. So overwhelming was the Republican vote | that the result was known positively | early in the evening. State Goes Républican by From 45,000 to 55,000 Plurality. Indiana has been carried by the Repub- licans by from 45,000 to 55,000. The legis- jature will be Republican by nearly fifty, probably more. All the nine Republican congressmen are re-elected by increased majorities, and the Republicans claim also the Second and Twelfth districts, now represented by Representatives Miers and Robinson, both Democrats. They'are in doubt. The legislature, which will meet in January, will elect two United States senators, one of whom is to succeed Vice President-elect Fairbanks. Senator Beve- ridge will be re-elected. The Republicans have almost, if not | quite doubled, the McKinley plurality in the state of 26,467 four years ago. pase ° ‘ OHIO.

ILLINOIS. Roosevelt Receives Largest Plural. ity Ever Given Presidential Can- didate. According to the returns received Illi- nois will give to President Roosevelt the largest plurality ever given to any _presi- dential candidate by this state. He has by the unofficial returns carried Chicago by 97,000 and the county of Cook outside of the city will give him about 9,000 ad- ditional, making his pluraligy in Cook county not far from 107,000. The Republican state central commit- tee claim the possible plurality for Presi- dent Roosevelt will total 214,000, though some of the committee claim 230,000. The Democratic committee refuse to give any figures. The greatest plurality ever given in Illinois before was 143,000 for McKin-~ ley in’ 1896. The Republican state ticket’ has been overwhelmingly elected, Deneen, for gov- ernor, running about 15,000 behind the national ticket in Cook county. Both branches of the legislature will be over- whelmingly Republican. The Republic- ans carry the First. Fifth and Eighth districts, heretofore Democratic, have in- | creased the congressional delegation from 17 to 20. PENNSYLVANIA. Roosevelt's Vote Exceeds Expecta- tions of Leaders. Roosevelt’s vote in Pennsylvania far exceeds the expectation of the Repub- lican managers, There is a heavy falling off in the Democratic vote all over the state, Tae Republicans have elected twenty-nine of the thirty-two congress- men, carrying all of the doubtful dis- tricts. They have also elected twenty- six of the twenty-eight candidates for the state senate and about 170 of the 204 members of the house of representatives. This gives them an overwhelming ma- jority in the next legislature and_in- sures the election of P. C, Knox of Pitts- burg, the appointee of Gov. Penny- packer to succeed the late M. S. Qué Latest returus give Roosevelt plu of between 390,000 and 400,000. MASSACHUSETTS. Roosevelt Carries State, But Demo- crats Elect Governor. Sufficient returns have been received to indicate a Republican victory for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but at the same time a defeat of Gov. Bates for re- election by William L. Douglass, the Democratic candidate, The Republicans have elected the rest of the state ticket, at least ten of the fourteen congressmen and a large majority of the legislature, which will selecte two United States senators. “The Democrats elected besides their candidate for governor at least three congressmen. Roosevelt's majority is estimated at 82,000. NEW JERSEY. Republicans Carry the State by About 60,000 Majority. New Jersey was carried by the Repub- licans by a higher. majority than even the most sanguine of the Republican pre- dictions claimed. The state ga in the neighborhood of 60,000 for Roosevelt, ex- ceeding McKinley’s majority four years ago by 3,000 or more, at ‘Edward S. Stokes, the Republican nomi- nee for governor, is elected by more than 20,000. Eight Republicans and two Democrats will constitute the state’s congressional eee tan, a gain of one for the Repub- licans. z ‘The legislature is overwhelmingly Re- publican. MISSOURI. State in Doubt, Both Sides Claiming Victory. The election in Missouri and in St. Louts is in doubt. Both sides claimed victory, The Democratic state committee claimed that the state had been carried by a ma- jority of 35,000 and St. Louis by 5.000: that fifteen Democratic congressmen had been elected and the legislature will be Democratic by a majority of fort ing the re-election of United Stat ator Cockrell. On the other hand, State Republican Chairman Neidringhaus was equally assertive that St. Louis had gone } Republican by 20,000 and the state major- ity would reach 5,000. _ CONNECTICUT. Larger Plurality Than Most San- guine Republicans Predicted. President Roosevelt and the entire Republican ticket carried the state in the election by an overwhelming plnu- rality which was even larger than the most sanguine of the party predicted. velt’s plurality will reach almost the | 25,000 mark, which is several thousand ahead of McKinley's figures in 1900. The state ticket was not far behind. KENTUCKY. Parker Carries the State by From 12.000 to 14,000. The vote indicates a majority in the state for Parker of from 12.060 to 14,- 000. The figures of the Democratic and Republican managers show little variance from this result.. Kentucky in 1900 gave Bryan 8,098 plurality. The result of the election leaves the con- gressional delegation unchanged—ten Democrats and one Republican. 4 MISSISSIPPI. Parker Carries the State by at Least | Pag | 000. Returns coming in show that between 60,000 and 70,000 votes were cast and the opposition to the Democratic party’ will poll between 3.000 and 11,000. The Demo- cratic majority for Parker and Davis will be in the neighborhood of 50,000. Mississippi retains eight congressmen, the Republicans making no opposition. * NEBRASKA. | Republicans Claim a Plurality of About 35,000. Latest returns indicate that Roosevelt has carried Nebraska by a plurality of arom 25,000 to 40,000, The Republicans ave elected congressmen in the First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts. The Second and Third.are in doubt with the latest returns showing the Democrats in the Jead. The legislature, which elects a United States senator to succeed Senator Dietrich, will probably be Republican. : WEST VIRGINIA. Republicans Claim Roosevelt Has Carried State by 10,000. The Republican state committee, basing its claim upon very meager returns and upon estimates from party leaders in va- rious counties, claims that Roosevelt will carry West Virginia by a plurality which may reach 10,000, the plurality four years ago being 21,000. The same committee claims that the majority of Dawson, Re- publican, for governor, will be half that of Roosevelt. MICHIGAN. Landslide for Roosevelt and Fair- banks. Michigan was the scene of a Repub- lican landslide. Roosevelt and Fair- banks have carried the state by an un- precedented majority variously esti- mated at from 100,000 to 150,000. Fred N. Warner and the Republican state ticket are elected, at least 11 of the 12 congressmen from Michigan, are Repnblican and the legislature is over- whelmingly Republican, insuring the re- election of United States sena.or J.C. Burrows. 10Ws4 Entire Republican Ticket Elected by About 125,000. The indications on_well-distributed re- turns indicate that Roosevelt's plurality will be 125,000 and the entire state ticket will have about the same number. Repub- licans elect ten congressmen with the chance that the Second district, which is in doubt, will also go Democratic. COLORADO. Democrats Will Not Concede State to Roosevelt. Incomplete returns iad lurality of over 10,000 for Roose ‘olorado. The result as to congressmen_and state officers is still in . Democratic Chairman Milton Smith will not conceded that Roosevelt has carried the state, RHODE ISLAND, Estimated That the State Has Gone Republican by 5,000. Indications are that Roosevelt car- ed Rhode Island by a plurality of over 000. Only about half the country dis- tricts and a quarter of the city districts have been reported. The result for gov- .ernor was still in doubt, with Utter, Re- publican, slightly in the lead. MAINE. Gain of Mere Than 8,000 Repub- lican Votes Over Four Years Ago. The six Maine electors will cast their vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. | Re- turns received from all but 184 of the 519 cities, towns and Pens gave Roosevelt’ a plurality of 34,785. This is a Republican gain of 8,348 over that given in the same places four years ago. MONTANA. Roosevelt Probably Carries State, But Democrats Elect Governor. Montana is for Roosevelt, returns indi- cating gains by the Republicans of over 40 per cent over four years Tgo. Gov. Toole, Democrat, is re-elected. The Dem- ocratic state ticket with possibly one or two exceptions appears to have won. IDAHO. Returns Indicate Republican Plu- rality of About 15,000. Returns indicate that Roosevelt will carry the state by from 15,000 to 20, "TENNESSEE. Republicans Concede the State to Parker. The election returns are slow in coming in, but the state is conceded to Parker by the Republicans, although they claim the election of their candidate for gov- ernor. UTAH. Roosevelt and Fairbanks by About 7,000 Majority. Returns indicate that Roosevelt will have a plurality exceeding 7,000. tions point to the election of John Cutler, Republican, for governor by a consider- ably smaller plurality. VIRGIN A. Parker and Davis Get the Usual Democratic Majority. Returns indicate the usual Democratic majorities for both state and national tickets. One Republican congressman is elected. CALIFORNIA. Roosevelt and Fairbanks’ Majority Will Reach 30,000. Reports from the various counties in- dicate that Roosevelt's majority, will reach 80,000 at least. IKKANSAS. State Ticket Badly Scratched But Roosevelt Gets 100,000 Plurality. The indications are that Roosevelt will carry the state by 100,000 plurality. The state ticket is badly scratched. All the Republican congressmen are elected. NEVA State Is Conccded to Roosevelt and Fairbanks. So far as heard from the Republican state ticket is in the lead. The state is conded to Roosevelt. OREGON. Republican by Nearly Twiee the Majority Ever Given Before. The state will go Republican by 30,000, almost twice the majority given any president heretofore. VERMONT. Carries the State by About 31,000. # ke Roosevelt carried this state by abou 31.000, Roosevelt, ran ahead of McKin- ley’s vote in 1900, while Parker ran be- hind that of Bryan. WYOMING. Roésevelt Republicans Carry the State by Fair Majority. Roosevelt has_ carried Wyoming by from 7.500 to 8.000. Republicans also elect the state ticket and will control the legislature. ARKANSAS. Light Vote Is Cast But Democrats Win as Usual. Late returns show a. light vote in Ar- kansas. From these the Democratic plu- rality is conservatively estimated ‘at 40,- 000, All Democratic candidates for con- gress elected. OKLAHOMA, Returns Show Substantial Repub- lean Gains. ai ‘ts show substantial Republican pains over two years ago and indicate Bird S. McGuire's re-election as delegate to congress. SOUTH CAROLINA. Democratic Ticket Elected Without re Ce sj : Parker has carried Sonth Carolina by not less than 40,000 plurality. The Demo- cratic state ticket has been elected with- out opposition. The state legislature is unanimously Democratic. All seven Dem- ocratie congressmen have been elected. LOUISIANA.

A light vote was cast. MARYLAND. Roosevelt Will Carry State by Small Majority. ; Though the county returns are not complete and those from four precincts in Baltimore are missing, the returns that have been received indicate that Mary- land has gone for Roosevelt by a small majority, probably a few hundred votes. In the congressional districts of the state, three Republicans and two Democrats have been elected with the remaining dis- trict in doubt. The Republican state com- mittee claims that the final returns will show a Republican majority of over 1.000. NEW HAMPSHIRE, Republicans Carry State by 18,000 to 20,0090, A big vote was polled in New Hampshire to-day, but the independent voters were in day, bue the independent voters were in the booths in larger number than ever before, with the result that the counting of the split tickets budly delayed the re- turns. There is no. doubt, however, of complete Republican success. Roosevelt has carried the state by 18,000 to 20,000 and McLane, Republican, for gever is foced by at least 12,000. The legi: is Republican in both branches by large niajorities. DELAWARE. Roosevelt Carriex State by About Returns 4 at 1 o'clock indicate that Roose’ rried Delaware by about 2,560 majority and that the Repub- cted their entire state ticket a little lower, ture will be Republican on legi, joint ballo ALABAMA.

Returns Indicate the Usnal Demo- cratic Majorities. The returns so far received indicate the usual Democratic majori in Florida. The Democratic candidates for congress are all elected, WASHINGTON. Concede’ the Roosevelt. The Democrats concede the state to Roosevelt by 20,000, but the Republicans claim 40,000. NORTH CAROLINA, Democrats State to State Gives the Usual Democratic Majorities.

Probably the most marked of these cases are the Fourth and Fifth districts of California (San Francisco), now rep- resented by Representatives’ Livernash and Wynn, Democrats, which reports in- dicate have been gained by the Republi ans. In. the Twelfth Ohio district Tay- ler, Republican, is renorted te have de- feated Badger, the sitting Democratic member. The most surprising of all the revorts, however, have come from the Fifth and Fifteenth Missouri districts, both strongly Democratic and the former renresented hy Mr. Cowherd, chairman of the Demo- cratic conzressional committee. The Re- publicans claim to have carried both dis- tricts. In the lirht of these renorts a Reppblican majority of fifty in the house is considered 2 conservative estimate. It is probable that the Renubltean ma- jority in the senate will show little if any change from the present voting streneth there. Of the ninetv members of that body fifty-seven are Republicans and thir+ ty-three Democrats. Chicago. Nov. 9—Disnatches to the As- sociated Press show that the Republicans have elected 202 congressmen and_ the Democrats 1288 MF the remaining forty= five districts thirty-two are now renres sented by Republicans and thirteen by Democrats. re) PARKER NOT DOWNCAST.

Miss De Menzy declined to say why the engagement had been broken. Jaeck he has no idea why the en- gagement had been broken, but supposed it was due to family interference. SMALL BOY: BIG OFFENSE.
