The .nearest approach to this vote -was in lSS6f when McKIniey. received aiplural jtypproklmatlrig 850,000. and In 1872, when Grant received 762,991. Tonight the Jjjjriyr-rrftp.

Smith has been elected to Congress by the Democrats In tho First District. Con gressman Jackson, of this district, to night, however, puts forward the claim that trick .ballots were used, and saye he will contest the election. In the other states it is simply a ques tion of pluralities. "The solid South" was broken by the defection of Missouri. Tho figures tonight ehow but 12 states with 133 votes for Judge Parker.

Next comes Illinois, where the President polled approximately 235,000 more votes than did Parker. Ohio gave Roosevelt 390.000 and New York. 174,000. The New York City returns are still incomplete. nt the amazement over the result has not subsided. In general the situation is chiefly in terestlng tonight because of the fact that the tickets in many of the states were cut. President Roosevelt ran ahead of his ticket In many localities. In Massa chusetts he had a plurality of SC.000, while the Republican candidate for Governor was defeated by 35.000. In that state the legislature is Republl can and the entire Republican ticket, with the exception of Governor, was elected. In Missouri the circumstances are sim liar. In Nebraska the definite announce ment that the legislature is .Republican disposes of the statement that "William J. Bryan had aspirations for the United States Senatorshlp. In that state, too. the Governorship. Is in doubt. There is & curious situation In- Minne sota, where Roosevelt has 125,000 plurality, but where a Democratic Governor and a Republican, .Lieutenant-Governor were elected. Chairman Babcock, of the Republican Coaffreataoaal Campaign Committee, has 'been returned in "WIsconson, but Chair CewlMrd, ft the Democratic Congres- sional Campaign Committee, was defeated in Missouri. The situation in Colorado presented an interesting phase tonight. Roose velt has carried the state by probably 15,000, but the Governorship is still In doubt, both sides claiming a victory.

Calls on Democrats to Organize More Thoroughly for the Next Trial. ESOPUS, N. Y., Nov. S.-Judge Parker tonight gave to the press the following open letter: "Esopus, N. Y., Nov. 9. To the Demo crats of the Nation: Our thanks are due tho members of the National Committer and the Executive Committee In charge of the campaign for most unselfish, ca pable and brilliant party service All that it was possible for men to do they did, but our difficulty was beyond the reach of party managers. "I am most grateful to them, and wish in this general way to extend my thanks to the workers as well as to the rank and file all over the country. I know how hard they struggled against overwhelming odds, and I only wish I could take each one by the hand and thank him. "Deeply -as I regretted leaving the bench at the time. In the presence of over whelming defeat, I do not lament it I thought it was my duty. In the light of my present information. I am now more even confident that I did right. I shall never seek a nomination for public office. but shall to the best of "my ability standi by the' party that has honored me, and. through the party, serve my country. "Tho party has in the near future a great mission Before long the people will realize that the tariff-fed trusts and illegal combinations are absorbing . the wealth of the Nation. Then they will wish to throw off these leeches, but the Republican party will not aid them to do It, for its leaders appreciate too well the uses to which the moneys of the trusts can be put in political campaigns. "When that time comes, and come it will, tho people will turn to the Demo cratic party for relief, and the party should be ready ready with an organlza tlon of patriotic citizens covering every election district, who are willing to work for the good of the cause an organiza tion supported by as many towns, city. county and state officers as we are able to elect in tho meantime. "We entered this canvass with every Northern, Eastern and western state. save one, in Republican control. This gave to that party a large army of office holders, reaching Into every hamlet, many of whom gladly followed the examples set for them by the members of the PresI dent's Cabinet in devoting their time and services to the Dartv. "To accomplish much in this direction, however, wo must forget the difficulties of the past. II any one suspects his neigh bor of treachery, let him not hint of his suspicion. If he knows he has deserted. let him not tell it. Our forces have been weakened by divisions. "We have quarrel ed at times over nonessentials. If we would help the people; If wo would furnish an. organization through which they may be relieved of a party that has grown so corrupt that it will gladly enter into the partnership of trusts to secure money for election purposes, we must forget the differences of the past and begin this day to build up wherever it may be needed. a broad and effective organization. "We must, by constant teaching through the press and from the platform, apprise the people of the way the vicious tariff circle works. We must bring homo to them at other than election times the fact that money contributed to the Re. publican party by the trusts Is not only dishonest money, but It Is given that the trusts may without hindrance take much larger sum from the people. "In the presence of a defeat that would take away all personal ambition, wero it true that otherwise it possessed me I do not hesitate to say that, in my opinion. the greatest moral question which now confronts us is: Shall the trusts and cor porations be prevented from contributing money to control or to aid in controlling elections? "Such service as I can render In that or any other direction jwlll be gladly rendered. "And I beg the co-operation as a fellow- worker of every Democrat In the country. "ALTON B.

VIEWS OF BRYAN. , Parker was tho victim of unfavorable conditions and a. mistaken party policy. The verdict against' the rcorganlzers, who are la complete. control of the party, Is unanimous. The defeat cannot be charred to con- demnatloa cf the trusts, for they were sot assailed as vigorously as they wero four years ago. The result was due to the fact that the Democratic party attempted, to bo con servative In the presence of conditions which demanded radical remedies.

William J. Bryan today gave out ah extended statement concerning yesterday's elec tion which Is intended to serve as his comment upon the result, and as an answer to reports connecting him with a movement looking to the formation of a new party. Mr. Bryan said he would not attempt to deny all the re ports circulated as to his future po litical action, but would let his state ment serve to explain his position. He said: "The Democratic party has met with an overwhelming defeat in the National election. As yet, the returns ars not sufficiently complete to permit analy sis, and.it is impossible to say w;hether tne result is aue to an actual increase In the number of Republican voters or to a falling off In the Democratic vote. This phase will be dealt with next week when the returns are all In. "The questions for consideration at this time are: What lesson doot the election teach? And what of the future? The defeat of Judge Parker should not be considered a personal one. He did as well as he could under the cir cumstances; he was the victim of un favorable conditions, and of a mis taken party policy. He grew in popu larity as the campaign, proceeded and expressed himself more and more strongly upon the trust question, but could not overco'me the heavy odds against him. "The so-called conservative Demo crats charged the defeats of 1896 and 1900 to the party's position on tho money question, and Insisted that victory could be gained by dropping: the colnagequ'estion entirely. The con vention accepted this theory, and the platform made' no reference to the money question, but Judge Parker felt it was hJs duty to announce his per sonal adherence to the gold standard. His gold telegram, as it was called, while embarrassing to the Democrats of the West and i South, was anplauded by the Eastern press. iHe had the cor dial indorsement of Mr. Cleveland, who declared the party had returned to 'safety and sanity;' he had the support of the Democratic papers which bolted in 1S96, and he also had the aid of near ly all of those who were prominent in the campaign, of. 1696 and 1900, and yet, his defeat - is apparently greater than the party suffered In either of those years. Reorganizes In Complete Control 1t is unquestionable also that Judge barker's defeat was not local but gen eral, the returns from the Eastern States being as disappointing as the returns from the West. The reorgani zes are In complete control of the party. They planned the campaign and carried it on according to their own views, and the verdict against the plan Is unanimous. Surely silver cannot be blamed for this defeat, for the campaign was rim on a gold basis. Neither can the defeat be charged to emphatic con 'denmatlon "of. the. trusts, for 'the trusts were not assailed as vigorously this year as they, were fQur years ago. It is 1 evident that the campaign-did Bob tara upon the question of Imperialism, and It is not fair to consider the result -as a personal victory for .the President for his administration was the subject of criticism. The result was due to the fact that the Democratic party at tempted to be conservative in the pres ence of conditions which demand radi cal remedies. It sounded a partial re treat when it should have ordered a charge all along tho line. "In 1SS6, the line was drawn for the first time during the present generation between plutocracy and democracy, and the party's stand on the side of democracy alienated a large number of plutocratic Democrats, who, in the nature of things, cannot be expected to return, and It drew to' itself a large number of earnest advo cates of reform, whose attachment to these reforms le much stronger than at tachment to any party name. The Re publican party occupies the conservative position. - That is, it defends those who,. haying secured unfair advantage through class legislation, insist that they shall not be disturbed, no matter how oppressive their exactions may become. Party Has Nothing to Gain. "The, Democratic party cannot hope to compete successfully with the Republican party for this support. To win the sup port of the plutocratic element of the country, the party would have to become more plutocratic than the Republican party, and it could not do this without losing several times as many voters as that course would win. The Democratic party has nothing to gain by catering to organized and predatory wealth. It must not only do without such support, but It can strengthen Itself by inviting the open and emphatic opposition of these ele ments. The campaign just closed shows that It is as inexpedient from the stand point of policy as it from the standpoint of principle to attempt any conciliation of the industrial and financial despots who are gradually getting control of all the avenues of wealth. The Democratic party, if it hopes to attain success, must take the side of the plain, common peo ple." Mr. Bryan cays that for two years he has pointed out the futility ot any at tempt to compromise with wrong; or to patch up a peace with tha great corpora tions which are now exploiting tho coun try, but the Southern Democrats were bo alarmed by -the race Issue that they listened, rather reluctantly, be It said to their credit, to the promises of success held out by those who had contributed .to the. defeat of the party in the two pre ceding campaogns. He continued: "The experiment has been a costly one. and It is not likely to be repeated during the present general campaign. The East era Democrats were also deceived. They were led to believe that the majfnates and monopolists, who coerced, the voters In 1S9S, and supplied an enormous.'-cam paign fund In both 1S9S and 1900, .wonld help the Democratic party if our party would only. e-less radjcal.

Plurality for Bryan. will fall a little short of that for Supreme Judge last June, when 9S.0CO ballots were cast for the four candidates for that of flee. The number of votes in that election was nearly 100,000. and the number of votes cast last Tuesday seems to be about io per cent short of that polled In the last state election. One of the noteworthy exhibits in the returns is the relatively large vote oast lor the Socialist ticket. In several coun ties Debs has run ahead of Parker. Four years ago Debs polled 144 votes is. Ore gon, but this time he has probably re' cetved several times as many. It is im possible at-this time, however, to deter mine the size of the Socialist vote. The incomplete returns indicate that Parker did not receive more than 15,000 votes in the state, whereas last June the vote poll of the Democratic nominee for Supreme Judge received 23.739. The num ber of votes for Roosevelt will probably reach close to 60,000. Prohibition in Seven Counties. Seven counties have adopted prohibition Gilliam, Yamhill, Jackson, Benton, Til iamook.

No account has been taken of the' Socialist and Populist votes in the unoffl- cal returns. The Socialist vote Is known to be quite large in some precincts. Tho vote is light as compared with the regis tration. Only about two-thirds ot- the registered vote seems to have been polled. The outside precincts have not reported to the respective county chairmen, except In a few Instances, so It will require the official count to determine the exact vote. Roosevelt's majority In this county la far In excess ot the estimate of the Re publican county chairman previous to the election. A great many Democrats re fused to voter and a large number of Dem ocrats voted for Roosevelt. Many Repub licans, neglected to vote because they were sure Roosevelt would carry the state, and they did not take the time to go and vote. Republican apathy and Democratic Indif ference account for the light vote in thia county. Linn County. ALBANY", Or., Nov. 9. (Special.) Complete unofficial vote of Linn County gives: Roosevelt 2323, Parker 1211, Debs 383, Swallow 231, TVatson 76; Roosevelt's plurality. 1112. The vote on prohibition Is 2017 for and 2113 against, prohibition thus failing to pass by 96 votes. The election resulted in the greatest Republican victory In the history of Linn County. For many years a stronghold of Democracy, this county has been swinging toward Republican In lt3 past few elections'. The vote In this county 13 about 800" short of an average vote, and the result Indicates that a great many Bryan Democrats stayed at home and refused to vote. A number of Democrats evidently voted for Roosevelt. Twelve preclncta out of the 30 in tne county were carried for prohibition. These are South Brownsville, Crawfords vllle, Halsey, Lacomb, South Lebanon, Orleans. Price. Rock Creek. Shedd, Soda- vflle. Sweet Home and Tangent. The only one of these in which saloons are now located Is South Lebanon. The three saloons of the town- of Lebanon are all in that precinct and will be compelled to close their doors. North. Lebanon Is "wet," so -the saloons do. not have to leave the city, but. they will have to move out, of tho business section of the town li tney wish to remain open. The three Albany precincts all gave large majorities against prohlbtion. Polk County. DALLAS. Or.. Nov. 9. (Special.)

Lucklamite and RJcKreall pre cincts, went 2 to 1 Republican; it being the first time in the history of .the county that these two preclnct3 have not given' a good round.

(Special.; The Republican plurality In Union County was 1230, and prohibition was de feated by over eoo. iiucn interest was taken in all parts of 'the county on the local option question.

Sfead was elected Governor by a plural ity that will probably exceed 14,000. King County alone gave Mead 6500 plurality and ;went twice as strong for Roosevelt. The Republicans elected every member of the State Senate and all but six mem bers of the Hou3e. These include Thurs ton County, two representatives, one in Ferry, another in Columbia, one in Gar field and the sixth in Adams. In" the Senate the Republicans will have a voting strength of 38 out of 42 members and in the House, 63 out of St Representatives. Big Majority in Legislature. On Joint ballot 116 Republicans will be entitled to vote. The minority party in each, house is so sparsely represented as not to be a factor in Legislative matters. There were a few narrow escapes for Re publican Senatorial candidates, for in Thurston County S. A. Ruth barely pulled through. Link Davis' election Jn Tacoma was, disputed until late today and tha fight in the Forty-first District, In What com County, has been uncertain up to the last minute. v As a rule, the Republican "majorities everywhere were overwhelming in Na tional issues, and In the state fight Mead's pluralities are in the aggregate in excess of those, given any other candidate for Governor since statehood. In fact, the sweep of the state made by the Republi cans was more complete than that of the Fuslonlsts In 1896. Republican Committee Is Speechless. The Democratic State Committee does not attempt any explanation of the re sult. Officials of the committee declare they had not expected Roosevelt's plural-, ity to run beyond 25,000, and that if it bad been kept within these bounds Tur ner might have pulled through. Demo cratic treatment of the result stops there. The Republican State Committee was so surprised at the sweeping: victory,, that bo statement has been given cut. -Though the polls closed througaost the state at 7 P M. yesterday, the count In many districts will not. be completed and reported; In full until tomorrow.
