Cuicago, Nov. 9. Dispatches to the Associated Press show the Re publicans have elected 230 Congress men and the Democrats 138. Of the remaining 18 districts, 7 are now represented by Republicans and 11 by democrats. It is possible that the Republicans will have a majority of about 100 in the next House of Representatives. President Roosevelt is assured of the co-operation of a Republican Con- sbb. The present Republican ma jority in that body is 34 and there need be no surprise if that, figure is almost doubled, and it is reasonably certain to reach a majority of at least 50. In practically all districts the Republicans have held their own, while in some significant instances the Democrats have lost. It is pos sible the Republican majority in the Senate will show little if any change in the voting strength. Of the 90 members of that body, 57 are Repub licans and 33. Democrats. MISSOURI REPUBLICAN. Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 9. The Journal's return up to 4' 15 indicate that part of the Republican ticket is elected, though Folk, Dem., for Gov ernor, probably is safe. NEBRASKA GAINS. Omaha, Neb. Nov. 9 The only part of the Republican ticket in Ne braska left in doubt is that of Govern or. The vote for Roosevelt is un precedented and some estimates place his plurality at as high as 75,000, and there seems little doubt that it will reach at least 60,000. Bryan's chalices of being elected U. S. Sena tor have gone glimmering. WASHINGTON STATE. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 9 Complete returns from one-fourth of all Che precincts in the state and incomplete returns from the others at 11 o'clock today show that Roosevelt electors have carried this state by between 35,000 and 40,000 votes. Albert E. Mead, Republican, of Bellingham is elected Governor over George Turner, Democrat of Spokane, Ly between 8000 and 10,000 votes. With a sweep that was beyond expectation and which ellipses almost a'l political records, Theodore Roosevelt has been elected president of the United States. His vote j ij the electorial college will be at least 325 as against Par ker's 151. Even this may be changed by switching iS votes from Missouri to Roosevelt's side. There has not been B single doubtful state recorded on the list against him. The popular vote shows a much j larger majority in his favor than was that given McKinley in 1900. Even the old Democratic solid nouth was shaken and West Virginia, which some Democratic prophets predicted would be carried by the Democrats, went Republican. So strong was the president's influence that at least a reduced majority for the Democratic ticket in that stronghold of Democracy, Missouri will be shown and Republicans as sert that the president will carry the state. Until com plete returns are received it will be in doubt. When at a late hour last night it was reporte " that i Missouri was in doubt and some of the Republican managers were admitting that they had hopes of success, it was hardly credited by the majority of the Republicans, and was laughed at by Democrats. But late returns seem to indicate that these claims may be well grounded, and in the absence of full and complete figures ol the vote the assertion that the muddy-water state had forsaken its Democratic allegiance on National issues is coming to be accepted as a probability. Should the official count bear out the Republican claims of today, Mr. Roosevelt's vote in the electorial college will be 343, a plurality of 210 Colorado is still claimed by both parties. Beginning with the tremendous majority of 400,000 in Pennsylvania, the Rep blican pluralities are decisive in nearly every state carried for their ticket, and it seems probable that Roosevelt has received the greatest popular vote ever given a Presidential candidate. Returns thus fat received indicate that he will receive a popular plural ity of about 1,500,000, against 840,790 for McKinley over Bryan. PARKER'S HOME FOR ROOSEVELT. New York, Nov. 9.

Nov. 9 It wouldn't have taken much more to made Ore gon's vote unanimous for Roosevelt, and a broad smile overspreads the face of Oregon today. Over 41,000 plurality for Roosevelt is the tale of the one-sided battle in this state. Although the total vote cast was little more than four-fifths of that polled in June, the Republi can plurality is nearly twice as great. In many parts of the state Democrat ic votes were as scarce as hen's teeth. "Have you heard of a single pre cinct in the state that gave a majori ty for Parker?" asked Senator Ful ton this morning of Frank C. Baker. "So far as I know there wasn't one," replied the chairman of the Re publican State Central committee. "It was more than a landslide: it was a volcanic eruption." All over the state Democrats worked and voted for. Roosevelt's election. Democratic 4 strongholds that have been unassailable in previ ous campaigns capitulated almost without a struggle. There has been a noticeable lack of enthusiasm for the party's nominee, and it is probable that a large proportion of the voters who failed to go to the polls were Democrats. CORTELYOU WIRES CONGRATULATIONS All day long Republicans have been pouring into the party headquarters to congratulate lone another and Chairman Baker upon the sweeping victory. Telegrams and telephone messages have brought the felicita tions of hundreds of others. "Congratulations are coming from every quarter," said Mr. Baker. "Chairman Cortelyou of the national committee telegraphed me, congratu lating the state organization upon the energy displayed in the campaign and upon the magnificent victory in Ore gon, and assuring me that the result is most gratifying both to the nation al committee and to the president. Telegrams of congratulation are com ine from all parts of the state. Con gressman Williamson and Hermann have wired us this morning, and many others have done the same. Continued on page 3. "I have examined the various surrevs between Coos Rav and Roseburg. and I am convinced that the most feasible route lies along the Coquille river to Myrtle Point, thence up the Middle Fork, through Camas Valley to Roseburg This route gives an excellent grade and there is not a place that it exceeds two and two-tenths per cent." Ex- t tract from interview with Paix Mohr. Paul Mohr, the prominent railway magnate, who has been looking over Coos county daring the past month stat ed in an interview with a Plaindealsk reporter just before departing from Roeebnrg Tuesday, that he had ex amined the various routes between Coos Bay and Roseburg and thought that the most feasible one was along the Coquille river by Coquille City and Myrtle Point and Camas vallev. This route gives a very good grade and nowhere along the entire line is the grade more than two and two tenths per cent. The route is in the shape ol an elongated S and is sixty miles in length. Elijah Smith, President of the South ern Oregon Company, has been working on the project since his arrival from Boston some time ago. Mr. Mohr said that the present road. from MarshneM to Myrtie Point, which is in the hands of receiver V . S. Chand ler and being run in the interests of the Spreckles people of San Francisco, and the Belt line would all work in har mony. When asked about a trancontinental line to Ogden, Mr. Mohr was quite re- boh out would not dear that it the intention of the company to ext the line to east of the Rockies. That the line will be ran into the trml States is undoubtedly the cam the lumber interests of this woold not profit by the completion of a line to Koseburg as lumber is cheaper in Roseburg today than it is in Coos county. It cannot be doubted that the Spreck els and Southern Oregon interests woold be greatly benefited by even a line to Roseburg as both companies have ex tensive coal holdings in this county bat the Southern Oregon Company woold be greatly benefited by a line which would give them aosss to inland points. Mr. Mohr left Tuesday for New York where he will endeavor to interest ad ditional Eastern capital in this project. Mr. Smith accompanied him as far aa Portland.
