REPUBLICAN MAJORITlES
IN OLD WAYNE COUNTY

And the next day 1t showed" re-
marked Republican County Chairman
Louis Bowman at the ungodly hour of
O'Clock this morning. as he gazed
out of the windows of the circuit court
room and saw the tiny goose feath-
ers' swirling about, then cast his eyes
on the long list of figures which told
in mute but eloquent language the
Waterloo administered the democratic
county ticket.
Not only was every member of the
republican county ticket elected. in the
majority of cases by substantial ma
jorities, but old Wayne county again
demonstrated the fact that IL is one Qf
the staunchest republican ssrongholds
in the state by giving Taft a majority
of 2,136 over Bryan. and By giving
Watson majority of 620 over Mar
shall. Four years ago this county gave
Roosevelt majority of 4.2I4 over
Parker. and gave Hanly a majority OF
4,97O over Kern. Uusing the vote on
the presidential ticket as basis for
comparison, Wayne county this year
cast total vote of IL les against TO-
056 four years ago.
Party Leaders Pleased.

man and other party leaders are well
pleased with the vote cast for Taft. For
several days prior TO the election they
had been receiving most diseourasing
news in regard to the vote this county

support rendered the republican presi-
Dental candidate.
However. the republican party lead
ers were disappointed at the majority
given Watson. Indications prior to the
election all pointed to the fact that the
republican gubernatorial candidate
would be given good support In this
county, and Chairman Bowman and
District Chairman Haas predicted that
Watson would carry the county by p
900 or $500. II is probable that the
Official count viii reduce Watson's ma
Jority in this county to less than 500.
Barnard Gets 1.34e.
Barnards strong showing in this
county was a surprise TO democrats
and republicans alike Some months
ago there was considerable feeling
here against Judge Barnard This. to-
gether with the fact that Wayne was
the home county of the democratic
congressional candidate. the Rev. T.
Fl. Kuhn, led the republican leaders to
believe that Mr.. Barnard would only
carry the county by a small majority.
However, he received a majority of
1.348 over Kuhn
The closes races on the county tic
ket were between Ladd and Allen for
prosecutor and RatIiff and Cook for
representative. In each case IL was

any republican candidate on the
county ticket, while Ratliff defeated

this was responsible for the small ma,

than governor seems to be slipping.
The concession of the attorney general
is believed to be the first step toward
the general admission. The great
fight that was waged against Watson
was for Marshall primarily but in
many sections the election of the dem
ocratic ticket throughout the list Of
state offices was advocated.
There seems to be no more reason
why the republicans should hope to
secure a single state office. 1t looks
as if a surprisingly large majority in
the precincts not reported alone
could damage the result and nothing
of the kind is anticipated. Unless the
chances for a republican legislature
on Joint ballot materialize. it means a
democratic senator to succeed Hem
enway.
Last night was one OF suspense and
uncertainty in this city. Owing to the
slowness with which returns in this
state We're received. Early returns
showed the state apparently for Bry-
an, later, however, this was changed.
James p Goodrich, republican state
chairman at first claimed the state for
Taft by 1900 plurality increasing his
estimate to 10000, and then dropping
to 3,OO0. Returns were very slow
from all counties with the exception
of those which together with Marion
county have voting machines.
Enough were learned. however,

ed over Watson.
The defeat of Watson was practically
assured although there remained the
bare possibility pulling him through.
His own party leaders, however, had
given him up. 1t was expected Taft
majority had been smashed to nothing
practically.
The vote in Indianapolis probably
the heaviest ever cast in the state.
The amount of scratching was unpre-
cedented 1t is not believed to have
been as general in Indianapolis as
elsewhere in the state. Few arrests
were made here for attempts at illegal
voting or for giving away whisky.
There was no serious trouble reported
from anywhere in the state.
At Evansville both parties were pre-
pared for trouble The sheriff had
extra deputies on duty and the SUI
perintendent of police had a large
force of extra policemen helping him.
There were many challenges and ev-
cry precaution was taken to keep or
der.
Foreigners Challenged.
At Indiana Harbor, 200 foreigners
tried to vote and there were many
challenges. 1t was found many of
the men were not entitled to vote.
Two Italians were arrested at Bloom
ington for alleged Illegal voting. A
negro was arrested at Jeffersonville
on the same charge. At Winchester
several arrests were made for distrib-
uting whisky.

ard Has Been Elected to
Congress From the Sixth
District.
HENRY COUNTY TURNS
OUT BIG BARNARD VOTE.
Kuhn Carries Three Demo-
cratic Counties in the Dis
trict by Good Sized Vote
MuddIe in Decatur.

There is no doubt of the election of
Judge William o. Barnard, of Henry
county as congressman from the Sixth
district Returns from all counties
but Decatur, give Barnard majority
of more than 1000. Thomas Kuhn, of
this city, the democratic nominee, rail-
lied strong in the democratic counties
of Hancock, Franklin and Shelby. In
Franklin county he ran ahead of the
presidential ticket. Wayne county
came about strong for Barnard. Two
years ago, James e. Watson, the re-
by about $40 votes. Yesterday the
county went for Barnard by LAS.
In Henry county the returns have
not been canvassed officially. The es-
innate gives Barnard majority of at
least 1900. Newcastle, the home town
of Barnard, was stronger for him than
had been expected by the Kuhn adher-
ents. Henry county gave Watson a
majority of only about 700.
Union county, the smallest in the dis
trict gave Barnard a majority of 1S5.
Watson carried the county by 224.
The greatest muddle in the district
is in Decatur county. At 2:3O o'clock
this afternoon it was estimated Barn.
ard had carried the county by 200
votes. There was no way to secure
definite returns as the board seemed
unable to cope with the difficulties.
Watsons majority is estimated as the
same as Barnards.
Rush county gave Barnard a greater
majority than it did Watson. Two
years ago Watson's home county gave
him a majority of 9S, but Barnard Sc
cured lead of 2S3 votes. Watson car
ried the county by 512.
Twenty-six out Of twenty-seven pre-
cincts in Hancock county give Kuhn a
majority Of 4SO. The total is expected
to be 500.
In Franklin county Kuhn received a
majority of 915 and Marshall a ma
jority of 959
Shelby county went to Kuhn by a
majority of 5SS, and Marshall Fayette
county gave Barnard a majority of 5433.

New York, Nov. 4.-Taft has carried
the county and Bryan has lost his third
battle for the presidency.
The next house of representatives Is
republican. and the republican party
will remain in control of all branches
of the government after March 4 next.
Taft has q plurality of the popular
vote in the entire county of about l,
100000, against Roosevelt's 2,545, 900
in 1904.
OF the states called doubtful or de-
batable in the campaign, Taft has car
ried nearly all.
He has won New York by plurality
of about 27O,00O due to the amazing
downfall of Tammany and the demo-
cracy in the greatest city in the coun-
try.
Taft actually carried the city of
New York.

The democrats have won governor
ships in Michigan and Rhode Island,

tween Johnson Dem) and Jacobson

Governor Cummins has apparently

pluhalities.
coast indicate Taft sweep in all those
states except Nevada.
Bryan made a much better race for
the presidency than he did in either of
his other campaigns. gaining both in
electoral and popular votes, but made
no serious inroads upon the great re-
publican fortress.
He did better in the west than in
the east. In the west he won his own
state and other states which were for
Roosevelt. but III the east he has made
no headway. and the majorities against
him there are almost as large as they
were in 1900.

Is the obvious failure of organized lab
