New Tort, Nov. 10. Thero remain
but one doubtful state lnaofar m the
tots on the national ticket la oon-
lerned. It la Maryland. Although It
Ian In no wise affect the presidential
esult, tt Is watched with Interest b-
a.use of a possible peculiar entangle
ment. There Is a chance that each party
ay ret a part of the electors, but It
certain that the Republicans and Dem
its will have three congressmen each.
inofficial returns this morning give
koosevelt a plurality of 118 votes and
ie official count will be necessary De-
are a derision can be rendered.
The popular rote tendered . President
evelt Is the largest ever given a
andldata. It will probably exceed
.500 000. President McKlnley in 1900
reived oS9.t84 plurality, and his
est competitor in Mils honor was
lysses 8. Grant, who In 1872 piled up
2.881 votes more than all other candl-
tea Included. Even the landslide
hlch In ls carried William McKlnley
to the white house when he defeated
J. Bryan by 601.85 votes, was
llpaod. Not since the electoral college
hed the 400 mark will such an eieo-
1 vote be cast as that which will
ve Theodore Roosevelt MS ballots, hot
eluding the still contested votes of
arvland In MOO the high water mark
as reached when J9J votes ware cast
r McKlnley. The percentage was al-
oat as great as that which la the
nger daya of our country put the
rst presidents Into office.
Two Contests Threatened.

INACTIVE DEMOCRACY
Stay at-Homes Belong Almost Entirely
to That Party Five Counties
Go "Dry? Analysis of
This Year's Vote.
noosevelt's plurality In Oregon does
not grow leas as the complete returns
are received, and It .now seems prob
able that It will exceed 41.000. Frank
C Baker, chairman of the Republican
state central committee, believes that
It may even reach 48,000.
An accurate analysts of the vote will
be Impossible until complete official
returns have been received, but it is
already apparent that the total Repub
lican vote greatly exceeded that cast
In June, while the Democratic -was al
most oat in two. Republicans re
sponded with remarkable unanimity tq
the appeals of their party leaders, urg
ing them to -go to the polls. The num
ber of Roosevelt votes in Multnomah
county was nearly 2,000 more than were
cast for Justice Moore In June, and pro
portionate ga"na were shown In many
other counties.
The Increaae in the Republican vote
1 doubtless to be explained in part by
the fact that many Democrats voted
for Roosevelt, but probably many more
stayed away from the polls.
Democrats Stay Away.
Taking the vote for Roosevelt and
the vote for Justice Moore (In June) as
the basis of comparison, it la apparent
that the great majority of the voters
who stayed away from the pons mu.n
have bean Democrats, and that the Re
publicans, on the other hand, polled
their full party strength. A few coun
ties will suffice to Illustrate this. In
Marion the Republican vote In Novem
ber showed a gain of 630, while the
plurality Increased by 926. In Wash
ington county the Republican vote In
Kovember gained 369. while the plu
rality Increased 771. In Polk the Repub
lican gain was i, while the plurality
Increased by 360. In Linn the gain in
the Republican vote was 278. while the
plurality showed an Increase of 118.
In Wasco ths gain was 208 and the
plurality was greater than In June by
469. I
It Is probable that a considerable
number of Democrats voted the Bocial
lat ticket In the presidential election,
and the socialist vote of the state shows
a substantial gain. In Multnomah
county the Socialists gained 628 over
the vote cast for supreme Justice n
June, which was an Increase of about
40 per cent. Even' greater proportion
ate gains were made by them in many
other counties of the state. In some
precincts of outside counties the So-'
(in list vote equaled or exceeded the
Democratic. -
Total Vote Is) Less.
It la estimated that the total vote
of the state In November was about 10.
000 less than In June. With a heavy
Increaae In both the Republican and the
Socialist vote. It Is evident that a large
'majority of the stay-at-homes must
havs been Democrats.
Roosevelt's plurality In Multnomah
county, according to complete official re
turns, was 11,178. The vote, taking the
highest presidential elector on each
ticket, waa aa follows:
Roosevelt (Rep) 18.701
Parker (Dem) 1,824
Swallow (Pro.) 618
Debs (Soc.) '. 1,849
Watson (People's) H 71
Roosevelt's vote In this county Is,
therefore, nearly six times that caat for
Parker. A remarkable circumstance Is
that the Socialist vote In Multnomah
county waa only 471 less than the Parker
vote.

citement of the election and in many
counties of the state ths Issue was

The biggest losers ara:
August Belmont, 1260.000.
Jefferson M. Levy, 2100,000.
The state election demanded more at
tention than did the national, due to the
fact that not even the most sanguine
Republican had any hope of such a ma
jority aa that which waa rolled up by
Htggln and the Democrats had great
hope that Herrlck would be carried In
despite Its being a possible Republican
year In national affairs.
The above figures do not Include sums
which In the aggregate were Immense,
paced on ward and precinct elections In
the city. Included In these were numer
ous bets In excess of 11.000 and hundred
of others wherein amounts of If 00 or
mora were wagered. The betting mania
on ward elections was up to the usual
standard and although of the usual "I'll

of much money. .

of the world's greatest authorities on
Socialism, writes concerning the elec

"The only people surprised by the
heavy Socialist vote throughout the Un

Republicans. The Socialists knew It alt

months long and they have a campaign

"However, during the last several
wesks oT the campaign professional poli
ticians began to awaken to something,
they did not know what, that waa in the

The best efforts of tha management
