Trail Results ot the Battle of the Ballots Shows Roosevelt and Fairbanks to be Elected by Vem Large Vote. New York, Nov. tO. —With the elec tion returns still incomplete, the plu rality of President Roosevelt in the nation, according to all indications, will exceed 1,500,000 —the greatest plurality ever given an American can didate. The nearest, approach to this vote was in 189(5, when McKinley re ceived a plurality approximating 850,- 000, and in 1872, when Grant received 702,991 plurality. The "solid south" was broken by the probable defection of Missouri —- this section of the country usually having 13 states in the democratic column. The figures now show but 12 states with 1 Z'i votes for Judge Park er. President Roosevelt carried all tho northern states—swept them in fact—and has 343 electoral votes. The sentiment which swept the re publican candidates into office will be reflected in the next house of repre sentatives. The republicans have elected 2.13 representatives and the democrats 141, the 12 remaining dis tricts yet to he heard from being now equally divided between the two parties. The republican majority in the next house will therefore be at 1. fl A /' •/ / PUKSIDICNT KOOSKVKLT. COLORADO. Denver, Nov. 10.—Roosevelt's plu rality in Colorado has been increased by later returns and may run above 15,000. Denver, Nov. 11, —Gov. James 11. Pea body, republican, himself concedes his defeat. Alva Adams' majority over Peabody in the city and county of Denver is 5,071 and in the entire state about. 10,500. Republicans still claim a majority for Peabody in the state outside Denver, but this is not borne out by the returns, which are still incomplete. v "On the face of the returns Adams is elected," said Republican State Chairman Fairley, "but the official count or a contest may change it to Peabody." At a meeting of the republican can didates yesterday it was decided to begin immediately a contest for the places of all the democrats elected in Colorado on the face of the returns. Both sides are claiming the legis lature and the result will be in doubt until the official count i.s made in Den ver and Pueblo. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, Nov. 1U. —The result of the election in Wisconsin shows that Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket and carried the state by a plurality estimated at between GO,OOO and 75,- 000; that Gov. La Folletto is re elected by a plurality of about 50,000, and that, the congressional complexion remains unchanged from two years ago. The legislature which is to elect a United States senator to succeed Jo seph V. Quarle" is largely republican. One of the surprises in the election was the big increase in tho vote of the social democratic party. Pour years ago that party polled 4,15.8 votes in Milwaukee county, two years ago 10,- 704, and in this election 18,120. The social democrats elected four assem blymen and one senator to the legisla ture. In tho legislature Chairman Connor, of the La Follette state cen tral committee, claims there will be 80 members pledged to carry out the measures advocated by Gov. La Fol lette. NEW YORK. New York, Nov. 10. —The latest re turns from New York state only tend to confirm the earlier statements of the result, showing that Mr. Roose velt's plurality is 174,091, while Mr. Biggins* majority for governor is 70,- 822. Not only was there an almost phenomenal republican victory up the state, but in the city of New York the democratic plurality was largely re duced. The legislature is republican by an increased majority in both branches. Unofficial figures indicate that they have elected 102 of the 150 members of tho assembly and that they will have 35 of the 50 state sen ators. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, Nov. 11.—Complete but unofficial figures received from every county in the state with tho ex ception of Allegheny, in which Pitts burg is situated, but from where a close estimate has been obtained, Show that President Roosevelt's plu CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1904. rallty in Pennsylvania has reached 494,525, probably the largest plurality ever given a presidential candidate by any state in the political history of i the country. President Roosevelt's j total vote, according to figures at j hand, is 830,125 and Judge Parker's | 335,600. MeKinley's total vote in 1900 was 712,005 and Bryan's 424,232. RHODE ISLAND. Providence, Nov. 10. —It was not un til yesterday that a republican victory i for governor was assured. Utter, rep., | defeated Garvin, dem., by 594 plural i ity. Roosevelt carried the state by I about 10,000. The republicans also I elected the two congressmen, their i state ticket and obtained an increased I majority in the legislature, which in | sures the re-election of United States Senator Aldrieh. OHIO. ! Columbus, 0., Nov. 11. —Chairman \ Dick says that returns show Ohio | went for Roosevelt by a plurality of .245,732. The republicans elected 20 Unit of 21 congressmen and carry 71 I out of S8 counties. I Columbus, 0., Nov. 12. —Revised un j official returns from every county In J Ohio indicate that Roosevelt's ma jority in Ohio will be 250,937. Tho j figures of the various counties show ! an unprecedented falling away of the | democratic vote, and the indications ! ari» that the total vote of that party will be little if any in excess of 300,- 000. - The total vote will be about 1,000,000, a reduction of 49,000 from the last presidential election. MINNESOTA. St. Paul, Nov. 10. —When all the re turns shall have been received, it is claimed by republicans that Roose velt's majority will run close to 125,- 000, if not mire. An estimate made from incomplete returns indicates 109.000 majority. The republicans elected the entire ' nine congressmen and a state legislature which is strongly republican on a joint ballot. | John A. Johnson, democrat, and Ray |W. Jones, republican, were elected j governor and lieutenant governor re spectively. There is no doubt as to Johnson's election and the only mat ter of speculation is the size of his majority over Robert C. Dunn, repub lican. WASHINGTON. Seattle, Nov. 10. —Complete returns from one-fourth of all the precincts in the state of Washington and incom plete returns from most of the others show that the Roosevelt electors have carried this state by over 30,300 votes. Albert R. Mead (rep.) is elected governor over Ge<*'ge Turner (dem.) by between 5,000 and 7,000 votes. Ev ery other candidate on the republican state ticket is elected by from 3,000 to 20,000 except Humphrey, Jones and Cushman, tor congress, whose majori ties will be higher. The next legisla ture will be very strongly republican. WEST VIRGINIA. Parkersburg, Nov. II. —The official returns for West Virginia are not yet •in, but from the returns received Roosevelt's plurality in the state is placed at from 25,000 to 30,000. The republican state committee claims the election of W. M. O. Dawson, repub lican, for governor, by a plurality of over 9,000. The democratic state committee concedes his election by about 5,000. Parkersburg, W\ Va., Nov. 12. —The democrats have conceded everything to the republicans in West Virginia, including the five congressmen and the legislature. CALIFORNIA. San Francisco, Nov. 10. —Roose- velt's plurality in this slate will ex ceed 100,000. In this city alone it is 21,833 and in the interior pre cincts, so far as heard from, it amounts to 83.300, making a total of 105.1 11. Tie- full delegation of eight congressmen will be republican aud an overwhelming republican majority in the legislature insures the election of a republican successor to Senator y ' SENATOR FAIRBANKS. NEBRASKA. Omaha, Nov. 11.—Enough returns have come into leave little doubt that Gov. Mickey is re-elected by from 5,000 to 7,000 plurality. Complete re turns from about 50 counties are available, which show a net gain for Mickey of nearly 1,500. This warrants a conservative estimate of 7,500 plu rality for the governor, who ran con siderably behind the rest of the re publican mate ticket. Pluralities on the rest of the ticket are expected to reach about 15,000. Roosevelt carried the state by about 75,000. UTAH. Salt Lake City, Nov. 10.—About one-third of the voting precincts of the state give Roosevelt 27,381, Park er 15,992, Debs 1,509. Republican State Chairman Spry yesterday claim ed the election of the entire state ticket, an almost entire republican legislature and the election of the Salt Lake county ticket. The latter claim is disputed by both democrats and American party men. NEW JERSEY. Trenton, Nov. 10.—Herbert Potts, secretary of the republican state coni nittee, says that the revised figures to far received indicate that President Roosevelt's plurality in New Jersey is 70,000 and that Edward C. Stokes, the republican candidate for governor, will have a plurality of at least 50,000. The New Jersey delegation in con gress will stand nine republicans to ono democrat. DELAWARE. Wilmington, Nov 10. —The republic ans made a clean sweep in this state. Roosevelt's plurality will be over 4,000, while Lea. the republican com promise candidate for governor, will have a plurality of nearly 3,500. The republicans elected their con gressman and will have a majority on j joint ballot in the legislature of 10. I This will probably mean th«» election of Edward Addlcks as United States senator. MISSOURI. Kansas City, Nov. 12.—Returns from all counties in the state, and most of these official, give Folk, dem., i for governor, 30,500 plurality and Roosevelt 28,271 plurality. Missouri's congressional delegation will stand eight democrats and eight republicans, a gain of seven for the latter. This much is ronceded by the democratic leaders. A republican ma jority on joint ballot in the general assembly is conceded by the demo crats, who have lost control of the legislative body for the first tiine in 3(5 years. This will insure the election of a republican successor to United States Senator Cockrell. MARYLAND. Baltimore, Nov. 12. —That an of ficial count of the ballots cast for the presidential electors at last Tuesday's election in Maryland will be required before definite knowledge of the re sult can be assured was demonstrated last night by the semi-official count in Baltimore city and in 20 of the 23 counties of the state. The returns re ceived thus far indicate that seven democratic and one republican elect ors were chosen. The congressional situation remains unchanged—three democratic and three republican con gressmen being elected. ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov. 10. —The returns from the state outside Chicago have come in slowly, but those that have been received contain little satisfac tion for the democrats, as they stead ily increase the plurality for President Roosevelt. He has carried the state by over 290,000. The plurality of Deneen for governor is placed at 274,- 000. Roosevelt carried the city of Chi cago by 107,29!) and the county of Cook outside the city by 10,182, mak ing his total plurality in Cook county 123,111. The republicans have made heavy gains in the legislature and will have a majority of 00 on joint ballot. INDIANA. Indianapolis, Nov. 10.—The latest returns from over the state have not changed materially the earlier esii mates of the plurality for the repub lican national ticket. Republican Slate Chairman James P. (Soodrich is persistent in his assertion that 75,000 plurality for Roosevelt, is a conserva tive estimate. Returns from the leg islative districts indicate that the re publicans will have a majority of 100 in the legislature which will this year elect two United Stales senators. CONNECTICUT. New Haven, Nov. 10. —The repub lican pluralities in Connecticut for the national and state tickets exceed anything ever before experienced in the state. Revised returns from every city and town give Roosevelt a plu rality of 38,197, while four years ago McKinley defeated Bryan at the high water mark of 28,558. The four re elected republican congressmen each had pluralities which the most confi dent never expected to see. The leg islature is overwhelmingly republican. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Concord, Nov. 10.—New Hampshire polled one of the largest votes in its history, the result being a decided re publican victory for both national and state tickets. Roosevelt carried the state against Parker by about 20,000 plurality, while John McLane, rep., defeated Henry F. Jlollis, dem., for governor by about 15,000. The re publicans will have a majority of about 100 in the legislature. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston. Nov. 10. —Complete returns from tliis"~state show that the repub lican presidential electors received a plurality of 50,279 in a total vote of 122,825 cast by the republican and democratic parties. Douglas, dem., has 35,710 plurality over Bates, rep., for governor. VERMONT. White River Junction, Nov. 10. — Complete returns from Vermont: Parker 9,881, Roosevelt 40,091; Roose velt's plurality 30,810. Same in 1900 gave Bryan 12,849, McKinley 42,509; McKlnley's plurality 29,720. MICHIGAN. Detroit, Nov. 9. —Michigan was the ! scene of a veritable republican land- j slide. Roosevelt and Fairbanks car- j ried the state by an unprecedented i majority, variously estimated at from ! 100,000 to 150,000. Fred M. Warner aud the republican state ticket are ; elected; at least 11 of the 12 congress- j men from Michigan are republican 1 and the legislature is overwhelmingly ! republican, insuring the re-election of i United States Senator J. C. Burrows. | Returns are very slow in coming in i from the state and at midnight definito j figures were Impossible to give. MAINE. Portland, Nov. 9.—The elimination j from yesterday's election of a state | contest in Maine detracted from the j interest. The result was a victory for 1 Roosevelt and Fairbanks:. Returns frQin 350 out of 519 cities, towns and plantations give Roosevelt 57.946 and Parker 24,730. Tho sanio places in 1900 gave McKinley 58,355 and Bryan 33,242. On this basis the republican plurality in Maine is estimated at 37,- 000. Montana, Idaho, Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nevada are carried by Roosevelt ELECTRICITY AS AN ETHER. Paris Physician Declares He Ha 3 Found an Effective and Pleasant Anaesthetic. Dr. S 1 ,edue, of the Academy of | Medicine in Paris, is confident that he I has discovered in electricity a snbsti | tute for the great anaesthetic, chloro- I form and ether. j Dr. Ledue began his experiments ■ on dogs, rabbits and pigeons. He em ' ployed a current of from 10 to 30 volts ! which ho interrupted from 100 to 200 1 times a second. He sent this current i through the brain of the animal or bird 011 which he was experimenting by applying one electrode on the top i of the head and the other at the pos terior base of the skull. In 110 case | did more than ten minutes elapse be fore the subject was completely anaes thetized. They recovered immediately \ when the current ceased, and not one ■ showed an evil effect. So confident was Dr. Ledue that this was a harmless and sure method to produce senselessness to pain that lie submitted himself to the experience. An assistant placed one electrode on the doctor's forehead and the other over his spine in the lumbar region, so that the mild but quickly interrupted current was sent through his cere i brum, cerebellum and spinal cord. In less than ten minutes Dr. Ledue ; was perfectly anaesthetized; ho did 1 not feel the prick of needles nor the burn of a red hot iron; his pupil did not respond to irritation. When the current was shut off he recovered ; consciousness instantly, and so far from experiencing bad effects, bf de clared he felt as though he had taken a tonic. AGED MAN AS PLOW-HORSE. Conviction of Mississippi Desperadoes Brings to Light Their Brutal Usage of Old Uncle. The arrest and conviction of Will and Julius Sullivan, the leaders of the Sullivan's Hollow band of despera does, has brought to light, one of the most peculiar crimes which ever went on the records of Mississippi courts. The crime, which was committed some time ago, was that of treating a human being like a horse. Will Sul livan and his brother Julius were the guilty parties, and the victim was Lodi Sullivan, their uncle. Will and Julius went to their uncle's home in Covington county one morning and called him to the gate. The old man came to greet his nephews, but in stead of being received cordially, he was seized and taken to the stable. There ho was harnessed to a plow and the two boys forced him to drag the implement through the fields. At night the uncle was taken to the . stable, placed in a stall, and given six ears of corn and a bundle of fodder. ! This method of torture was kept up two days. When ho was discovered and rescued from the hands of his nephews he was almost dead. Judge Enochs, of Raleigh district, who tried the Sullivan boys for their crime in Covington county. Is author ity for the truth of the unusual story. Judge Enochs has since tried the Sul livan boys for other crimes. Will Sul livan was given a life sentence in the pen for killing one of his kinsmen, and Julius was sent to prison for two ! years for whlteeapping. HAD MARVELOUS DIGESTION. English Woman Who Swallowed Dominoes, Stones, Iron Screws and Other Solids Passes Away. A British celebrity, and a wonderful woman in more ways than one, has paused away at Bristol, England— Mrs. Williams, an old news seller. Sho was gifted with a marvelous memory, and still more marvelous di gestion. Chapters of Scripture and all Watts' and Wesley's hymns she knew by heart. So great had the fas cination for swallowing solids be come with her that 011 one occasion she seized a box of dominoes and swallowed 110 fewer than 28 intact. Upon a later occasion sho swallowed one and one-half pounds of large gravel stones, and again, in 1870, 13 large iron screws, but she completely recovered. Needless to say, she was the object of wonder, if not consternation, to Bristol doctors, anil her digestive or gans remained unimpaired to the last.
