With the elec tion returns atill incomplete tho plu rality for President Roosevelt In tho nation, according to all indications, will exceed 1,800,000 the greatest over given Hti American candldetc. Tliu nearest approach to this vote was in 1800, when McKinley received n plunvllly approximating 860,000, nnd in 1872, when Giant received 702,901. The interest now renters in Missouri nnd Maryland. Late election returns inclii ut- that the former etate it) in the Republican column so far as presi dential elector are concerned, hut that Joseph V. Folk, he Democratic candl dale, has been elected governor. In Maryland the presidential vote will proluibly be cast for Roosevelt. Late leturns tonight indicato that Thomas A. Smith has been elected to congress by tho Democrats in (he iiiat district. Oregon, Portland, Nov. u. Klectlon retuma In Oregon indicate that tho Republican plurality will reach perhaps 43,000. Complete leturna are not yet available. The total vote foi piceident will fall a little short of that for aupiemo judgo last June, when 93,000 ballots were cast for the four candidates of that office. The number of votes in that election was nearly 100,000, and the number of votea caat last Tuesday Pectus to be about 10 per cent abort of that polled In the last state election. Seven counties have adopted prohi bition Gilliam, Yamhill, Jackson, Denton, Tillamook, Coos and Curiy. Sixteen counties have rejected prohi biten Clackaiuaa, Columbia, Douglas, Grant, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Malheur, Marion, Morrow, Multnomah, Sher man, Umatilla, Union, Wasco and Washington. Lincoln waa thought to have gone "dry" early In the count, but pulls out against prohibition by a narrow marg in. In Linn tho result waa very close, prohibition being defeated by 00 votea. Twelve precincts, however, voled, "dry" in the county, Including Haleey, Rhedd, Tangent, South Lebanon, South Brownsville,. Jackson has adopted prohibition, and the "wet" majorities of Medfoid, Jacksonville and Gold Hill are therefore unavailing. Gillam is a prohibition county by 34 majority. All precincts in Wash ington cennty havo rejected prohibi tion. Two ruecincts in Claukamas voted "dry"' Garfield and Viola; likewise 13 piecincta in Douglas, four in union, two In Wiieelei, lour In Multnomah, four in Malheur, six in Umatilla, one in Clatsop, six in Ma rion, three in Wasco, two in iShurman.

Secre tary Si. us, of the Itupublioan ttata central oomm.lttee, said today that from unotllaial reports from 80 of the 92 c'ounties the Republicans national ticket had received a plurality of 74, 000 in Indiana. Massachusetts. Boston, Nov. 9, Complete returns from the state give Roosevelt 254,652; Parker 108,273; Kooeovelt'fl plurality 80,279. For governor: Douglas, Dem., 264.311; Bates, Rep., 108,001; Doug lav' mujoiity, 66,710. Delaware. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 9.

Both Democrats and Republicans are claim ing tho stato. Returns Indicate a ma jority of 15,000 voles for tho Democrat ic national ticket, and perhaps 6,000 leas for Frazler, Democratic candidate for governor. Washington. Seattle, Wash, Nov. 10. King coun ty gives Roosovelt a plurality of 16, 000; Mead carries this county by 7,000. Pierce goes Republican on national is sues by 7,600, and gives Mead 1,760. Spokane is more than 4,600 stiong for Roosevelt, though Turner carries the county by less than half lis estimated plurality. The state of Washington placed no limit on its Roosevelt vote. Three fouiths of the volora who oast ballot for lilin might have stayed iw home and still he would have eairied the state. Though the stato count is still Incompleted and Inaccurate, it Is ovl d 'lit the Rosevolt electors have n plur a.ity over Paikor of 70,000 or better. This is 30,000 stronger than the iwiiuesi iiej iioiii-nn estimates iiiniiu n before election, and as much better than tho llrst returns indicated. The state was pinctlcally unanimous, for tliospaiso 21,000 I'arkor votea out of a total that will exceed when off-party totals are llnished 126,000 la not to bo seriously considered. Idaho. Ho I so, Idaho, Nov. 10. Returns from the Idaho election havo come In more slowly than any previous tiino in the history of tho state. Those en gaged in gathering flgtuca complained that things went with such a sweep that fudges and clerks thought there waa no further Interest in it and sealed up returns without taking copies oi giving anyone elsuoppoituuity to do so. So far 61,000 votes on tho Republi can anil Democratic eaiullilatei lor president have been heard from and 63,181 on governor. Of the presiden tial vote, Roosevelt has 38,782 and Parker 16.317. Roosovolt'e majority la 23,476 and his itorceiitnge of vote is 72. Gooding has 31,744 votes and Heitfeld 18,437. Gooding's majority ia 10,307, and his percentage 03 Tho vote this year has fallen far Ins- low the registration. The latter waa about 80,000. Two years ago the Re publican and Democratic vote on gov ernor waa 67,896. As nearly aa can be ascertained there la an increase of 12 per cent on Democratic and Republican presidential votes. This would Indi cate a total of 04.800 for Roosevelt and Parker in the state. It Roosevelt's percentage of 72 bo carried through ho will lead Parker by 28,500, while Good ing's lead over Ileltfeld would De 10,-000. Tho Democrats elect four members of the leigslaturo a senator from Custer, a senator anil representative from hi morro and a representative from Lemhi. Maryland. Baltimore, Nov. 10. Tho olllcial leturns received here up to a late hour tonight Indicate that the plurality for the prsldentlal candidates last Tuesday was very close, itossibly only 100 on cither aide. It ia piobablo that Secre tary of Stato Tilghman will bo called upon to decide which of the electors will be entitled to cast their votea in Washington. From the olllcial retuma thus far received the indications are that the Republicans have elected sev en and the Democrats one of the elect ors of tho state. Returns received from 11 counties of the state give the Republican electors a plurality of 174. Until the canvassing hoards of the several counties and of Baltimore city shall havo examined and counted the ballots, it will be Impossible to say which of the presidential candidates will receive .Maryland's electoral vote. There is no chango in the congressional situation, the Democrats and Republi cans each having elected thiee members of the next house of representatives. California, San Francisco, Nov." 10. The few additional unoflicial returns received today from various itoints in California do not affect the leaulta already an nounced. The olllcial tount will be j required to determine the exact figures, but It is evident that Roosevelt a plur ality in the state will approximate 115,000. The leglslatuie, which elects a Unitod Status tonator, wilt have 103 Republican members lo 17 Democrats and Labor Unionists. Utah. Salt Lake City, Nov. 10.
