TAFT AND SHERMAN V|CT0RS
Republican National Ticket Given Handsome Majority
in Electoral College.

William Jennings Bryan OF Ne
braska, the Democratic candidate, went
down in the third defeat of his life's
ambition to occupy the White House.
Among the more significant results
were the reelection to congress of
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Serene
E. Payne of the house committee on
ways and means, and the reelection
for third term of Gov. John Johnson
Democrat, in Minnesota.
One of the results SURPRISING the
most sanguine hopes Of most Repub.
licans was Mr.. Taft's carrying the
greater city of New York by a plural
ity which approached 10000. Further
more, his plurality in New York state
will be approximately 1S9,334, exceed
ing by nearly $4,000 Roosevelt's big
plurality of 1904.
Only second in point of general in
terest was the victory of Gov. Charles
E. Hughes, who was reelected by a.
plurality estimated as well above
$4,000 over the vote cast for his
Democratic opponent, Lieut.. Gov.
Chanler. While Greater New York
gave plurality for Taft, 1t gave Chan
Ter a margin of 56,843.
With 81 United States senators to be
elected by legislatures chosen now
or earlier In the fall. The Repub-
licans will retain their control of both
houses of congress.
Mr.. Taft carried practically every
so-called doubtful state except Ne
braska, where Mr.. Bryan was victor
ious. Mr.. Bryan carried Nevada in
addition to the solid south, excepting
Missouri
Republican Piurailties Reduced.
Some of the figures relating to the
Republican slump In certain states
regarded as certainly Republican, are
little short of amazing. Pennsyl.
vania's immense plurality of over $780,.
600 four years ago mas been cut In
two. Illinois, which gave Roosevelt
100000 In 1904. has gone for Taft by
about 10000. The highest claim of
the Republicans for Indiana Is $4,000
az against plurality of $4,000 for
Roosevelt.

Chairman Hltchcock's Statement.

Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock Of
the Republican national committee
made the following statement:
"The returns speak for themselves.
There seem to be no longer any doubt

show that my estimate was correct.
1t looks now. think. as II must

1.-THE plurality in Indiana will be
less than l expected. That in ILL
nois is far more than anticipated.
And so 1t goes: where one state has
not quite come up to the figures | had

far beyond. The latest returns from
Maryland indicate that we have car.
ried that state by about 5000 to TO-.
900 and that is more than l believed
it would give.
