WASHINGTON, Nov. 9—Senator
Hoke Smith declares that the reor
ganization of the United States Sen
ate b.v the Democrats is now posi
tively assured. He states that there
are 35 hold over Democrats, and that
at the primaries the Democrats have
elected Senators in Georgia, Texas,
Kansas, Arkansas, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Montana, Oklahoma,
and two in Colorado, one to till the
unexpired term of Senator Hughes,
deceased. With these ten the Dem
ocrats will have 45 votes. Then
they have carried the legislatures of
New Jersey, Delaware, Oregon and
Nevada, practically making certain
the election of four more Democrats
and increasing the number to 49,
which is the number the Republi
cans have in the present Congress.
There are six seats that are still
classed as doubtful, as follows: Two
in Illinois, one each in .Michigan,
South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyom
ing.
The Democrats claim that from the
present indications they will have
291 members of the House, with 117
Republicans and 18 Progressives.
PORTLAND, Nov. 9—It is now
definitely known that former Mayor
Harry Lane has been elected United
States Senator. He was the Demo
cratic nominee, and was elected be
cause of the division of the opposi
tion, some voting for the primary
nominee Ben Selling, and others
casting their ballots for Senator
Jonathan Bourne, who ran as a
Progessive and by petition.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7—With practi
cally all the vote in it was stated late
this aftrnoon that throughout the
state Wilson carries by only about
200 votes.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9—A meeting
of the Republican National Commit
tee has been called for Tuesday next
in this city. The matter of a suc
cessor to Vice President Sherman
has been indefinitely postponed.
Now that the vote is practically
all in, with the exception of a couple
of states, there has been some switch
ing from the result as announced on
Wednesday. Yesterday it looked as
though Wilson had carried Illinois by
about 200 plurality, but certain cor
rections has since thrown the state to
Roosvelt by a small plurality. It was
thought that Roosevelt had carried
Iowa, but the state has gone to Wil
son. Taft was supposed to have car
ried Idaho, but at the present time
Wilson is in the lead with a few dis
tant precincts to hear from. Revi
sions in California now give Roose
velt a slight lead, with the prospects
that some electors will be elected
from both the Wilson and Roosevelt
tickets. In Oregon Wilson leads by
over 6,000. Roosevelt was second
in the race. Teddy swept the state
of Washington, winning by over 27,
000 plurality. The Governorship in
that state is still in doubt, a wire
late this afternoon stating that
Earnest Lister, the Democratic candi
date, was slightly in the lead.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8—The con
trol of the next I'nited States Sen
ate will pass to the Democrats after
the fourth of next March. In the
present Congress there are 43 Demo
crats and 40 Republicans. This will
be reversed, and by giving the Repub
licans such states as there may be a
doubt as to tbe complexion of the
Legislatui-e, the Democrats will have
48 and the Republicans 11. The
present Democratic majority of 6.~ in
the House will be increased to 09.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8—Rate
this afternoon Wilson again wrested
the lead in the state vote from Roose
velt.
PRINCETON, Nov. 8—-S'nce elect
ion day there has been much news
paper speculation concerning politi
cal appointments to be made by the
newly elected President The mat
ter was so frequently brought to the
altertion of Governor Wilson that
he was prompted to iu ike this state
ment Ir-st night: ‘ Such speculation
concerning appointments is perfectly
fruitless. I mean to keep my mind
entirely open with regards to appoint
ments and to probable selections, un
til, final announcement is possible.
I think my right course just now Is
to hear everybody and not make any
definite statement.’'
NEW YORK, Nov. 7—As the count
In various states nears an end there
are a few reversals of earlier con
clusions. It was generally admitted
that Illinois had gone for Roosevelt
but as the returns came in from re
mote sections the tide turned to Wil
son and this afternoon it is practical
ly conceded that he carried Illinois,
that Dunn, Democrat has been elect
ed Governor. Although Kansas was
placed in the Wilson column yester
day later returns gave great hope
to the Progressives that Teddy might
eventually win out... Hut today that
hope has been given up and Kansas
is for Wilson. However, Roosevelt
gains one state that was given to Wil
son yesterday. It is Minnesota, with
twelve electoral votes, so that his real
loss is the difference between 29 nnd
12, or 17. It now looks as though
the result would be: Wilson, 429;
Roosevelt, 90; Taft, 12.
LOS ANGLES, Nov. 7—-With near
ly all the returns in Wilson is only
slightly in the lead in the state count.
Although Roosevelt carried Los
Angles county by a good plurality
his manugers contend that certain
irregularities were permitted and cut
down his vote. The Wilson forces
contend that injustice was done them
in the count, with the result that
both parties are now demanding that
there be a recount of the votes in this
county. The result in the state may
depend upon the recount, if it is
allowed.
NEW YORK. Xov. 12—Colonel
Roosevelt has issued a formal state
ment in which he declares that “the
Progressive party has come to stay.
The battle has just begun. The
movement has been unparallelled in
the history of free government.”
He then reviews the political situa
tion and analyzes the vote, stating
that there is a general demand for
the organization of a new party, that
the Republican party as at present
manipulated and controlled has out
lived its usefullness. He predicts
failure upon the part of the Demo
cratic administration, and the infer
ence he holds out is that four years
hence the people will gladly enlist
under the banner of true Progressive
ness and that the new party will
sweep the country in triumph. In
the meantime organization will go on
in every state in the union.
PRINCETON, Nov. 7—Governor
Wjlson and his family will all leave

elected President, Governor Wood
row Wilson, has made his first public
expression since the election, in an
assurance that prosperity and con
fidence should continue. He says,
“There is absolutely nothing for hon
est and enlightened business In the
country to fear.” He wired Presi
dent Taft, thanking him for his mes
sage of congratulation, and adding
his "warm personal regards.” To
Col. Roosevelt he extended “cordial
good wishes.” When Gov. Wilson
was asked about an extra session of
Congress he said, "I have given no
thought to such matters yet. 1 am
not on a hair trigger.”
NEW YORK, Nov. 8—The choice
of a successor as a Vice Presidential
candidate, to take the place of the
late James S. Sherman in the elec
toral college, now lies between Sen
ator Borah, of Idaho, and former
Governor Meade, of Vermont.
SEATLE, Nov. 8—The Democrats
lost out in the state contests, while
the Congressional delegation Is all
Progressive and Republican. In the
contest for two Congressmcn-at-large
the regular Republicans, J. E. Frost
and Henry B. Dewey, were defeated
by the Progressives, J. W. Bryan, of
Bremerton, and J. A. Falconer, of

lican candidates were all elected as
