Republicans Retain Control of the national Houss. MAJORITY MAY BE DOUBLED Domlnaat Party Will Hava Majority of at Least Fifty, But Claim Mora Whan All the Returns of the Election Are In. Waahlaalon. Nor. 9. — President Roosevelt Is assured of the coopers Uoo of a Republican congress. The present Republican majority In that body Is 3«. and there need be no surprise If this flcnre Is almost doubled, and It to reasonably certain to reach a majority of at least 50. In practically all districts the Republicans bars held their own. while In tome significant Instances the Democrats bars lost. Probably the moat marked of these casee are the fourth and fifth districts of California (San Francisco), now represented by Representatives Uvernash and Winn. Democrata. which reports Indicate have been gained by the Republicans in the 12th Ohio district. Taylar, Rep., to reported to have defeated -Badger, the sitting Democratic member, who was a candidate for re-election. The most surprising of all the representatives, however. come* from the fifth and 15th Missouri districts, with strongly Democratic, and the former represented by Mr. Cowherd, chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee. The Republicans claim to have carried both districts. In light of . these reports a Republican majority of 50 in the house to considered a conservative estimate. Retuwis from the southern states show that they have returned, the usual Democratic majorities on congressmen as o nother candidates The states of Alabams Arkansas Florids Georg'S Mississippi. North Carotins South Carolina and Texas, all send solid Democratic delegations, while those from Kentucky and Virginia probably each will send only one Republican representative, making no change from the present complexion. Tennessee will continue to send two Republican congressmen. There are several solid Republican delegations already reported from northern states. Including Iowa (with one possible exception), Kansas Mlnndsots New Hampshire and the two Dakotas To these must be added the delegations from Maine, Oregon and Vermont, in which states -elections were held prior to today. Other states such as Michigan. Illinois. Ohio. Pennsylvania, and even Indiana and New Jersey, from which the Democrats hoped for much In the way of gains again send to congress delegations which are preponderatIngty Republican, in New York the Republicans will suffer no loss and wHl gain several congressmen, and they will make a gain of at least two In New Jersey, and other gains are reported from Maryland and West Vie-

Uve. When asked If he had any statement to make, be pulled a telegraph blank toward him and wrote hastily for a moment Then he said: **! am going to send this telegram to President Roosevelf The message was dispatched at obcs It was as fol-

lows:

“The President. Washington. D. C — The people by their vote* have emphatically approved your administration, and 1 congratulate you." The demeanor of Judge Parker as bs beard the bulletins read was of cheerful resignation. He wore the air of one who could say if ha would: "I will die game.” and die game he did. Ha discussed the returns with hto friends and compared the figures with former yean. It might have been some other man's defeat for all the concern he seemed to feel At 10 o'clbck Judge Parker received a telegram from President Roosevelt, as follows: “I thank you for your congratulations." ' Judge Park* retired at 11.40 o'clock last night, declining to make any statement beyond that Indicated by hto telegram to President Roosevelt ROOSEVELT'S STATEMENT Will Not Accept'Another Nomination Under Any Circumstance*. Washington. Nov. 9. — President Roosevelt after the election returns dearly Indicated the result. Issued the following statement: "I am deeply sensible of the honor dons me by the American people In thus expressing their confidence In what I have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence Impose* upon me. and I shall do all that In my power Ilea not to forfeit 1L On the 4th of March -next I shall have served three and one-half years, and this three and one-half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, under no circumstances will I be a candidate or accept another nomination." Connecticut Republican. New Haven. Conn, Nov. 9.—President Roosevelt and the entire Republican ticket carried the state by an overwhelming plurality, which even larger than the most sanguine of the party predicted. Presides! Roosevelt's plurality Is 23,000. which to several thousand ahc_d of McKinley's figures In 1900 The state ticket was not far behind, and from. Henry Roberts, the candidate for governor, down, there was a clean sweep. Congressmen In each of the four districts and the congressman-at-large were all re-elected, and the legMtotnre will remain Republican by a ratio estimated at about 2Vfc to 1. which Is a alight gain over the ratio of two Itllnota. Chicago. Nov. 9.—According to the returns Illinois will give to President Roosevelt the largest plurality ever given to any presidential candidate. He has by the unofficial returns carried Chicago by 97.006. and the county of Cook outside of the city will give him about 9000 additional, making hto plurality In the stole 209,000 The Republican state ticket has been ore whelmlngly elected. Deneen for governor running about 15,000 be bind the national ticket In Cook county. #

alertsd their entire stats ticket by maJodltlas but UtUs smaller. Two-thirds of ths districts In Ne*v Castle county, where ths largest Democratic gal As were expected, show a Republican majority of 500. Kent county's Republican majority will be about 500, while the Republican ipaJorlty In Sussex county promises to bs

at least 81500.

In New Castle county the Democrats probably elected seven assemblymen and the Republicans seven, with one district In doubt. Including the bold-over senators, five out of seven are Republicans. This Insure* a Republican legislature on Joint ballot. Indiana's Blp Plurality. Indianapolis, Nov. 9.—Indiana has been carried by the Republicans by from 45,000 to 66.000. The legislature will be Republican by about (0. All the nine Republican congressmen are re-electeo by Increased majorities, and the Republicans claim also the second and 12th districts, now represented by Representatives Mlers and Robinson, both Democrats. They are In doubt. The legislature, which will meet In January, will elect two United State* senators, -one to succeed Vice President-Elect Charles W. Fairbanks. Senator Beveridge will be elected. The Republicans have almost If ,aot qul^e doubled the McKinley plurality In the state of 26,467 four year* ago. Ths Vot* In Mississippi. Jackson. Mias, Nov. 9. —Returns coming In show that between 60,000 and 76,000 votes were cast, snd the ooposltion to the Democratic party will poll between 10,000 and 11000.
