(By Associated Press,)
NEW YORK, Nov, 4, William Howard Taft of Ohio, Re
publican, was elected twenty-seventh president of the Unit
ed States, and James Schoolcraft Sherman of Utica, N, Y,,
was chosen vice-president yesterday, This was the out
come of one of the most remarkable political campaigns in
the history of the republic, Wm, Jennings Bryan of Neb
raska, the Democratic candidate, went down in the third de
feat of his life's ambition to occupy the White House, The
returns today indicate that Taft will have at least 298 elec
toral votes, and as the returns from the West are growing
stronger for Taft, the final result may justify the claims of
Hitchcock of 325 electoral votes for Taft, made before the
eventful day,
One of the results surpassing the most sanguine hopes of
most Republicans was Taft's carrying Greater New York by
15,645,
Governor Hughes was re-elected by a plurality estimated
today at 75,000 over Chanler, and while Greater New York
gave Taft a plurality of 15,645, it gave Chanler a margin of
56,843,
'Governor Johnson was re-elected governor of Minnesota
for his third term by 73,000, Hisgen, the candidate for
the presidency on the Independence ticket, received compa
ratively meagre support throughout the country.
There is practically no change indicated in the House
of Kepresentatives. The United States senate retain its
present Republican majority.
Indiana has gone to Taft by from 15,000 to 18,000.
Bryan apparently carried Nebraska although the
Republicans still claim the state.
Ohio has gone to Taft by 50,000 to 70,000, although
the returns are very slow.
Taft carried New York City by about 15,645 the
iirst time that city has given its vote to a Republican
candidate since 1896, when McKinley had a small plu
rality. Taft received a greater plurality in New York state
than did Roosevelt four years ago, the indications being
202,000 far Taft against 175,000 for Roosevelt.
Hisgen, the Independence candidate, received about
28,000 votes in Greater New York.
Speaker Cannon was re-elected to congress.
Missouri returned to the solid south.
Pennsylvania gave Taft about 250,000.
Illinois gave Taft about 170,000.
