TAFT’S VICTORY IS ASSURED
Returns from All Parts of Country Show that
Republicans Elect President.

Official Count Required There and in Mis

Colorado Democratic.
New York, Nov. 4. Returns receiv
ed up to a late hour tonight indicate
that W. H. Taft, of Ohio, as president
elect will have a vote of 309 in the
electoral college. This is 67 more than
a majority of the total electoral vote
of 483. If Missouri votes for Taft,
his total may reach 327.
News of the late returns indicate
that Maryland, after vicillating during
the day and apparently being safe for
the Democrats, had swung into the
Taft column.
The unofficial figures
give Taft the state by 136 votes.
In
diana and West Virginia as well as
Montana turned out to be safely Re
publican. Colorado went for Bryan.
If Missouri, which late developments
place in the doubtful column, goes for
Bryan, he will have a total of 174
votes, two less than he received in
1896. In 1964 Parker received only
140 votes, in 1900 Bryan received 155
votes and in 1896 the Nebraskan re
ceived 176 votes.
Taft’s 309 electoral votes compare
with 336 received by Roosevelt in
1904; 292 received by McKinley in
1900, and 271 received by McKinley in
1896.
The states certainly carried by Mr.
Bryan are as follows: Alabama, 11,
Arkansas 9, Colorado 5, Florida 5,
Georgia 13, Kentucky 13, Louisiana 9,
Mississippi 10, Nevada 3, Nebraska
8, North Carolina 12, Oklahoma 7,
South Carolina 9, Tennessee 12, Texas
18, Virginia 12. Total 156.
All the rest of the states are safe for
Taft with the exception of Maryland
and Missouri, where the issue is so
close that an official count may be ne
cessary to determine the result.
The latest returns indicate that in
the national house of representatives
the Republicans will have 208 mem
bers and the Democrats 172, with 11
districts missing.
Taft’s plurality in the state of New
York, according to corrected figures
late tonight is 203,495, more than 28,-
000 in excess of President Roosevelt’s
plurality of four years ago.
Governor Charles E. Hughes was re
elected governor of New York by 71,-
150. The returns as between presi
dent and governor indicate a heavy
splitting of tickets. The proportion of
scratched ballots was about the same
in the up-state districts as in Greater
New York.
Bryan’s victory in his home state of
Nebraska was a sweeping one. Five
of Nebraska’s six congressmen will be
Democrats, while in the legislature
only 18 Republicans seem to be elected
out of a total oil 33 senators and rep
resentatives.

Chicago, Nov. 3., 10 p. m.—The Re
publican national and state tickets
have gained a complete victory in Illi
nois, although the pluralities will prob
ably fall *hort of those obtained by
the party in the Roosevelt campaign of
1904. Taft has carried the state by
approximately 170,000 votes.
Charles S. Deneen, Republican can
didate for governor, ran far behind the
national ticket, but has been elected
by a plurality of about 100,000 over
Adlai E. Stevenson, his Democratic
opponent.
Chicago and Cook county gave a
plurality to Taft of 50,000 against
126,000 for Roosevelt four years ago.
Outside of Cook county the plurality
for Taft is not far from 120,000. The
pluiality of Roosevelt in 1904 was
304,939 for the state.
Stevenson, Democratic candidate for
governor, carried Chicago by about
8,000 and the county of Cook by about
6,000. He lost heavily, however, in
the state outside of Cook. The state
legislature, which is to select a suc
cessor to Senator Hopkins, will be
strongly Republican.
The Socialist vote showed a consid
erable falling off from that of four
years ago. Debs in 1904 received 69,-
225 votes.
From the returns so far
obtained it seems probable he will not
receive much over 40,000.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 4. Complete
returns from 40 counties in the central
and northern sections of the state give
Bryan a plurality of 13,000.
The
counties yet to be heard from are
principally those bordering on Arkan
sas and Texas, which have large Dem

These probably will
raise Bryan’s plurality to 18,000.
Returns indicate that the legislature

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 3. Kansas elec
tion returns are still very incomplete,
owing to the long ballot and the late
hour of closing the polls. The returns
seem to substantiate the claim of the
Republican state committee that the
entire Republican state ticket, headed
by Walter R. Stubbs, for governor, has
been elected by about 25,000 plurality,
and that Taft’s plurality is a few
thousand votes larger.
