With the elec tion return" utill incouipleto tlio plu rality for 1'rcaidont Kooeovolt in tho nation, accorditiK to all indications, will exceed 1,800,000 tho Krcatest over given nn American cundidute. The nearest appioacli to thia voto woh in 1800, when McKinlcy rocelvcd a plurality approximating 860,000, and In 1872, when Giant received 702,001. Tlio interest now centers in Missouri and Maryland. Lato olection rcturna Intllcnto that tho former state la in tho Republican column so far as presi dential electors aro concerned, but that Joseph V. Folic, tho Democratic candi date, has been elected governor. In Maryland tho presidential voto will probably bo cast for Koopovelt. Lato toturnn tonight indicate that Thomas A. Smith linn been elected to congress by tho Domocrats in tho I1 list district. Oregon. Portland, Nov. 0. Election rcturna in Oregon indicate that thu Republican plurality will reach perhaps 43,000. Complete luturus aro not yet available. Tlio total voto foi president will fall n ltttlo short of that for supicmo judge last June, when 03,000 ballots wero cast for tho four candidates of that olllco. Tho number of votes In that olection was nearly 100,(100, and tho number of votes cast last Tuesday seems to bo about 10 per cent short of that polled in thu last state olection. Seven counties lmvo adopted prohi bition Gilliam, Yamhill, Jackson, Ronton, Tillamook, Cooa and Guriy. Sixteen counties lmvu rujectcd prohi biten Clackamas, Columbia, Douglas, Grant, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Malheur, Marion, Monow, Multnomah, Slier man, Umatilla, Union, Wasco and Washington. Lincoln was thought to have gonu "dry" early in thu count, but pulls out against prohibition by a narrow marg in. In Linn tho result was very close, prohibition being defeated by 00 votes. Twelve precincts, however, voted, "dry" in tlio county, including Iialsey, Shedd, Tangent, South Lebanon, Houth llrortiisvillo,. Jackson has adopted prohibition, and thu "wet" majorities of Medford, Jacksonville and Gold Hill aro therefore unavailing. Glllarn is a prohibition county by 34 majority. All precincts in Wash ington county have rejected prohibi tion. Two precincts in Clackamas voted "dry"' Garfield and Violu; likewise 13 precincts in Douglas, four In Union, two in Wheeler, four in Multnomah, four in Malheur, six in Umatilla, one in Clatsop, six in Ma rion, three in Wasco, two in Sherman. In Lane county Junction City adopted prohibition. Indiana. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 10, Secre tary Sims, of thu Republican ftato central committee, said today that from unofficial reports from 80 of the 02 counties the Republicans national ticket had received a plurality of 74, 000 in Indiana. Massachusetts. Boston, Nov. 0. Complete returna from the state give Roosevelt 264,552; Parker, 108,273; Roosevelt's plurality 80,270.' For governor: DourIob, Dem., 254,311; Bates, Rep., 108,001; Doug las' majority, 55,710. Delaware. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 0. RoobovoU has carried Delaware by about 2,500. The Republicans claim that they will have 40 of the 62 members of tho legis lature on joint ballot. Tennessee. Nashville, Term., Nov. 9. Both Democrats and Republicans are claim ing the state. Returns indicate a ma jority of 15,000 votea for tho Democrat ic national ticket, and perhaps 5,000 less for Frazler, Democratic candidate for governor. Iowa. Dea Moines, Nov. 0. Returna are slow in coming in, but tho indications on well-distributed retrrna indicate that Roosevelt's plurality will be 125,000 and tho entire state ticket will have about the same number. Republicans elect ten congressmen. Georgia. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 0. Thia atato will send all 13 Democratic electors to he college to name the president. Washington. Seattle, Wash, Nov. 10. King coun ty gives Roosovelt a plurality of 15, 000; Mend carries thlft county bjr 7,000. Pierco goes Republican on national is sues by 7,600, and gives Mead 1,750. Spokane is more than 4,600 Btrong for Roosevelt, though Tumor carries tho county by Icfs than half its eatlmnted plurality. Tlio state of Washington placed no limit on its Roosevelt vote. Threo font the o( thu votors who cast ballots for him might lmvu stayed a homo and Ptlll ho would havo carried thu stnto. Though the statu count is still incompleted and Inaccurate, it is evi dent tlio Rosovcit electora have a plur ality over Parker of 70,000 or better, This is 30,000 stronger than the wildest Republican estimates mado it before election, and as much better than tho flrst returns indicated. Tho atato was practically unanimous, for tho aparso 24,000 Parker votes out of a total that will exceed when off-party totals aro ilulshed 125,000 is not to bo seriously considered. Idaho. BoIpo, Idaho, Nov. 10, Returns from tho Idaho election have come In more slowly than any previous tlrno in tho history of the state. Thom en gaged in gathering figures complained that things went with such a Hwcep that udgoH a lul dorks thought there was no further interest in it and sealed up returns without taking copies or giving nnyonu else opportunity to do so. So far 54,000 votes on tho Republi can and Democratic candidates for president havo boeti heard from and 63,181 on governor. Of tho presiden tial voto, Roosevelt has 38,782 and Parker 15,317. Roosuvolfa majority ia 23,476 and his percentage of vote in 72. Gooding has 34,744 votes and Heltfeld 18,437. Gooding's majority la 10,307, and his percentage 03. Thu voto thia year has fallen far bo low the registration. Tho latter wna about 80,000. Two yonra ago tho Re publican and Democratic voto on gov ernor was 57,81)5. As nearly as can be ascertained thcro is an increnso of 12 per cent on Democratic and Republican presidential votes, Thia would Indi cate a total of 04.800 for Roosovult and Parker in thu state. If Roosevelt's percentage of 72 hu ran led through ho will lead Parker by 28,500, while Good lug's lead over Ileitfeld would bo 10,- 000. Tho Democrats elect four mombct of the loigslaturo a senator from Custer, u senator and representative from HI morru and u representative from Lcnihl. Maryland. Baltlmoro, Nov. 10.-Tlio oillclal returns received here up to a lato hour tonight indicate that the plurality for tho prsidunthtl candidates lust Tuesday was vury closu, possibly only 100 on either uido. It is probable that Secre tary of Stato Tilghman will ho called upon to decide which of thu electors will bo entitled to cast their votes in Washington. From thu oillclal returns thus far received thu indications are that the Republicans have ulocted ccv en and the Democrats one of thu elect ors of tho htato. Returns received from 11 counties of thu statu glvu thu Republican electors u plurality of 174. Until tho canvassing boards of thu Euveral counties and of llaltlmoru city shall lmvo examined and counted thu ballots, it will bu Impossible to say which of tho presidential candidates will receive Maryland's electoral vote. There la no change in thu congressional situation, tlio Democrats and Itopubli carta each having elected three members of tire next house of reprcBentativea. California, San Francisco, Nov. 10, Tho few additional unofficial returns received today from various points iu California do not affect ,tho results already an nounced. Tho oillclal count will be required to dotormino thu exact figures, but it ia evident that Roosevelt's plur ality in thu state will approximate 115,000. Tlio legislature, which elects a United States senutor, will have 103 Republican members to 17 Democrats and Labor Unionists. Utah. Salt Lake City, Nov. 10.
