During the day Rhode Island and New Hampshire were shifted from tue Taft to the Wilson rolunin, giv ing the democrats a clean sweep in New I'ngland with the exception of Vermont which went for Taft. Colonel Roosevelt was definitely credited with 112 electoral votes, but his managers insisted that he would also have the five votes of South Da kola.
