/. cided. Few changes are indicated in
the congressional delegation, which
will be Democratic.
Milwaukee, Nov. 4.-Taft and
Sherman have carried Wisconsin with
plurality estimated at $4,000 and
| Governor Davidson, Rep, has been
reelected by "a safe plurality close to
Taft's. Republicans have elected
nine out of II congressman, the DEM
ocrats one, with one, the Fourth, still
in doubt. The legislature will be ov-
erwhelmingly Republican.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Comment-
ing on the result of the election,
Governor Hughes said last night:
81 am deeply gratffied by the sue
cess of Mr.. Taft and by our victory
in this state. To all of those who
have labored so earnestly In support
of my candidacy, ] wish to express
my warmest appreciation. With this
expression of the confidence of the
people, i shall devote myself with re
newed zeal to their service
San Francisco, Nov. 4.-Owing to
the slowness with which the returns
from California points have been re-
ceived, II Is difficult at this hour
40 p. M to make any estimate that
would carry accuracy. If the Taft
figures maintain their ratio of gain
as indicated in 1O9 scattering pre-
cinots, California will go Repubh-
can by 10000. At the Republican
state central committee it was pos
itively declared that the state had
gono for Taft and Sherman by
handsome majority.
The managers of the Democratic
campaign have practically conceded
the defeat OF Bryan in this state.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 4.-Bryan's
majority in Tennessee will about
equal that of Parker, four years ago,
something over 10000. The Demo-
cratic state ticket Is elected by from
10000 to 25,000 The congressional
delegation remains unchanged as to
complexion, eight Democrats and two
Republicans, but N. w. Hale, Repub-
lican, incumbent in the second, is APP
parently defeated by Richard w.
Austin, also Republican.
NJ A Dn
publicans swept the state of New
Jersey. Taft will have a plurality
which will approach and may exceed
that of Roosevelt four years ago,
when 1t was upward of 10000. Seven
OF ten congressman chosen are Re
publicans, and the Republicans will
control both houses of the state leg
islature by even greater majoritles
than last year.
In Essex county, Everett Colby has
been reelected to the state senate.
He appears to have carried his county
ticket through with him.
Washington, Nov. 4.-William
Howard Taft has won the presidency
and sweeping victory over his op-
ponent. AT midnight Taft's majority
In the electoral college stood at 1903,
with the twenty votes of Indiana and
Colorado still in doubt Chosen by
President Roosevelt as his successor,
Mr.. Taft demonstrated the wisdom of
his selection by running close to the
Roosevelt record of 1904 In many
sections Taft has exceeded the popular
vote given 70 Roosevelt.
Behind Taft will stand a Republi-
can congress. The Indications at
midnight are that the Republicans
will have the house by substantial
majority.
or the two doubtful states at mid
ngiht, Indiana has probably gone to
Taft by nearly 10000, though the
Democrats leaders insist that Bryan
has carried the state and that Wat
son, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, has been defeated.
Colorado Is still much in doubt.
Bryan having very slight majority
