SHOWS BIG GAINS
FOR REPUBLICANS
That Taft and the Republican
ticket had a great landslide in Tues
day’s election is evident from the
returns th it have come in.
Up to a late hour last night it
could not 4>e definitely ascertained
what the final result would be, but
Taft was conceded to have at least
295 electoral votes, with returns
coming in from the west strengthen
ing his lead to the extent that Hitch
cock’s claim of 325 might yet be
realized.
Taft carried New York City by
15,000 the first time in the history
of the country that the city has gone
Republican for president. Ohio and
Indiana, considered as doubtful
are both safely in the Republican
column. Oregon is Republican by
20,000 and Washington by 40,000.
Hughes was elected governor of
New York by 75.000 majority ac
cording to associated press reports,
while Johnson was elected governor
ot Minnesota. Bryan has probably
carried his own state, but he lost all
other stares around it.
As to final
results in all states it is not yet po ;-
sible to state definitely.
Congress will remain Republican
in both houses by about the same
majority as the present one, at least
this is the report of the associated
press and it is genen lly conceded
by the Democrats that the Repub
licans had a landslide.

The superstructure of the new

a force of nearly twenty men w ork

believe it will be entirely completed

The new school building is in
a sightly location and when com

Every facility for rushing the
work is now on the ground, includ
