VICTORY
CHICAGO. Ntrr. 8. (Special.) It will
be President "William Howard Taft after
March 4. At thla time It la probable
, that he will have SU votes In the elec
toral college, while William Jennings
Bryan, for the third time defeated In
hia efforts to be elected to the highest
office in the United States, will have
17e.
Taft ha carried every doubtful atate
In the Hast and West. Including New
Tork. Ohio.' Indiana. Maryland and some
of the far "Western states, but not In
cluding Nebraska, which seems to have
cone for Bryan. Hia majority In New
Tork state may reach 2"0,000. he carried
Ohio by nearly MO.0OO and Illinois by
17S.OO0i
Indians. Scarcely Won.
Indiana was extremely close, the ma
jority there for the head of the ticket
ranging from WO to 15.0CO. according to
the returns st 1 o'clock this morning.
The returns indicate that the far West
ern mountain statea of Colorado and
Idaho have also given Taft their elec-.
toral votes, but these returns may be
changed later In the night.
Missouri has gone for Bryan, as was
expected. Hadley. the Republican can
didate for Governor, made a hard fight,
but could not overcome the normal Dem
ocratic majority. The Indications are
that Senator Stone has succeeded In the
primary election, thus defeating the am
bition of Governor Folk to become United
States Senator.
Cummins Wins in Iowa.
Iowa has gone overwhelmingly for
Taft. but by a majority much reduced
from that given to Roosevelt four years
ago. as waa expected. The returns from
the primaries so far as received Indi
cate that Governor Cummins received a
majority of the Republican vote and
wtll therefore be Indicated as the choice
of the Legislature for United States Sen
ator to succeed the late William" B.
Allison.
House Republican by 39.
President Taft will be supported by a
Congress that will be Republican In
both branches, thus Insuring the passage
of a satisfactory revision of the tariff
under Republican auspices and without
a possibility of factional opposition by
the Democrats. The returns up to 1
o'clock this morning indicate that In the
House of Representatives there will be
?lt Republicans and ITS Democrats. This
gives the Republicans a majority of 39.
The result will be that they will be In
a position to organize the House by the
election of a Speaker, will control all the
committees he may appoint, and will be
able to dictate legislation during the
two years beginning on March 4.

EXILED FOR SECOND TIME
English Woman Taken by Officials
From Salt Lake Home.
SALT LAKE C1TT, Nov. S. Rather
than deny an article of her faith, Del
phine Doddsworth. a little English wo
man. 21 years old. has twice submitted
to exile from those she holds dear, and
fared forth among strangers, homeless.
Miss Doddsworth became a convert to
Mormonlsm in England. At the Immi
gration office In Boston she was asked if
she believed in the practice of polygamy.
I believe In the doctrine of plural
marriage," she replied.
Under the law no believer In polygamy
can enter the United States. The girl
was set aside for deportation, and later,
despite the personal appeal of Senator
Smoot at Washington, returned to Eng
land. An attempt to enter the United
States by way of Montreal proved more
successful, and two weeks ago the young
woman joined her family in 6alt Lake.
News of her coming reached the ears of
the immigration authorities, and today
she is on a train bound for Montreal In
custody of an Immigration officer.

Hughes Elected by at Least
15,000 Plurality.
BOSSES USE THEIR KNIVES
Tammany and McCarren Cut Bryan,
While Republican Leaders and
Gamblers Take Fruitless
Revenue on Hushes.
NEW TORK. Nov. 3. (Special.) The
Republicans have carried New Tork state
for both the National and state tickets.
Taft has won by a tremendous plurality
and Hughes by a good safe margin.
Taft's plurality may reach 200,000, and he
Lhas done the surprising thing of carrying
Greater New York by a small figure.
Hughes' plurality now is estimated at
15,000 to 20,000. but it may be greater.
Shearn. the Hearst candidate for Gov
ernor, polled between 25,000 and 30,000 in
Greater New York.
Taft's great plurality was due almost
wholly to Democratic losses In New York
and Brooklyn. The figures show that
Taft's vote upstate fell of heavily from
that received by Roosevelt in 1904, but
Bryan's vote In New York and other
counties making up the greater city
slumped heavily from Parker's, and even
from his own vote in 1900.
Bosses on Both Sides Sell Out.
Tammany and Pat McCarren's machine
In Brooklyn evidently knifed Bryan un
mercifully. Had they worked for him
loyally Instead of betraying him the re
sult In this state might have been act
ually close. But the hopes of "Flngy"
Connors, Murphy and the McCarren gang
were centered on Chanler, and they sold
Bryan out to gain their end.
Likewise the machine Republicans sold
out Hughes. Never was there a more
striking example of how little political
bosses carefor principle than In this
election. The racetrack and gambling
element of whatever party was of course
against Hughes. A whole tralnload , of
track followers and horseowners came
over from Baltimore, where a race meet
ing Is being held at Plmllco. to vote for
Chanler. The solidarity of the racing
vote was shown by the results.
Socialists Full of Sorrow.
There was a great disappointment in
the local candidates of the Socialist party.
It had been looked on as an assured
thing that Morris Hillqult would be re
turned to Congress as the Socialist party
candidate in the Ninth District, and that
J. G. Phelps Stokes and Robert Hunter
would have more than a fighting chance
of election as Assemblyman for the
Eighth and Sixth Districts. But all three
have conceded they were beaten badly.
Max Pein. the Socialist party candidate
for the Assembly in the Fourth District,
also admitted early In the evening he was
beaten.
The Legislature certainly will be Re
publican in both branches. So far as

WANTS CASE TRANSFERRED
Hearst Asks Trial of Libel Suit in
Federal Court-
OMAHA, Nov. 3. A petition signed
by W. R. Hearst before a notary pub
lic In New York and asking that the
$600,000- libel suit filed recently by
Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma,
against Mr. Hearst in the State- Su
preme Court of Nebraska in Omaha,
be transferred to the Federal Court,
was filed here today by J. W. Battin,
Mr. Hearst's local attorney.
The basis of the petition la that as
parties to the suit reside in states
other than Nebraska,, the case cannot
be tried In a state court
There is a legal question involved
in the case as to whether such case
can be transferred to the Federal
Court.
E. D. Smith, the local attorney for
Governor Haskell, said:
"I would rather try the case In a
Federal Court if It has Jurisdiction,
for the reason that the state laws of
Nebraska do not allow any punitive
damages and the Federal Court does.
Half the amount we are suing -for,
300,O0O, represents punttjve damages."

Spring of conspiracy to defraud the
United Slates in connection with securing
land grants in Oregon and Washington.
The motion to arrest the Judgment was
not disposed of, pending .which the sen
tence probably will be deferred. The de
fendants allege the "jury was coerced into
agreeing on the verdict and sought to
have the jurors interrogated. The court,
however, held that that would allow the
jurors to testify that their verdict was
their honest judgment and opinion of the
evidence, a matter as to which, according
to the result, the defendants themselves
invoked, the jurors cannot testify.

measures at the time of the financial
flurry last year. It is expected that
on account of the low interest rate the
