REPUBLICAN VICTORY WON
BY TAFT AND SHERMAN
CARRY ALL STATES CONSFD.
Erred DOUBTFUL BEFORE
ELECTION.
Pacific Coast States Give Their
Votes to the Republican
Candidates.

New York, Nov. 4.-The ,xt
President Of the United States y.l be
William Howard Taft, Republican, of
Ohio. The next vice-President will
be James Echoolcraft Sherman, Re-
publican. Of New York.
This is the verdict returned by the
majority Of the 100000 voters OF
the United States. The Republican
candidate has repeated Mr.. Roose-
velt's feat Of carrying every North
ern state. It is probable that Taft
will have 314 votes in the electoral
college, while William Jennings
Bryan, for the third time defeated in
, his efforts to be elected to the high
est office in the United States, will
have 169.
New York states 80 electoral votes
will be cast for Taft and Sherman.
Greater New York has gone Repub-
lican, indCrsing both Taf. and
Hughes.
Reports from all parts of the state
indicate that the vote was heavy, the
efforts of both gubernatorial candi-
dates to bring out the ballots being
rewarded with success. Both the
old parties polled full votes, their
strength not being seriously affected
by the other minor parties.
Most of the great cities of the
country have gone Republican, in
cluding New York and Chicago. St.
Louis has gone Republican, while the
rest of Missouri is heavily Demo-
cratic.
Taft Carried Every Doubtful State.
Taft has carried every doubtful
state in the East and West, includ-
ing New York, Ohio, Indiana, Mary
land and some of the far Western
states, but not including Nebraska,
which seems to have gone for Bryan.
His majority in New York state may
reach 100000, he carried Ohio by
nearly 100000 and Illinois by 1885,
900.
Indiana was extremely close, the
majority there for the head of the
ticket ranging from 5000 to $4,000.
The returns indicate that the far
Western mountain states OF Colorado
and Idaho have also given Taft their
electoral votes.
Missouri has gone for Bryan, as
: was expected. Hadley, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, made a
hard fight, but could not overcome
the normal Democratic majority. The
indications are that Senator Stone
has succeeded in the primary elec-
tion, thus defeating the ambition of
Governor Folk to become United
States Senator.
Iowa has gone overwhelmingly for
Taft, but by a majority much re-
duced from that given to Roosevelt
four years ago, as was expected The
returns from the primaries indicate
that Governor Cummins received a
majority of the Republican vote and
will therefore be indicated as the
choice of the legislature for United
States Senator to succeed the late
William B. Allison.
Central States for Taft.
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the
great central states, with an aggre-
gate of IS electoral votes, have gone
Republican despite the fight made to
bring them into the Democratic col
umn. The success OF Mr.. Taft in
these states, considered vitally nee
essary to his election, has carried
with it the success Of the Republican
state tickets. Governor Deneen in
Illinois and Governor Harris in Ohio,
Republican candidates for re-elec-
ton, retain their seats, and Con-
eressman Watson will succeed J.
Frank Hanly in Indiana. Republi-
can hopes of carrying Kentucky
proved vain in spite of the victory
of Wilson, Republican. in the guber-
material contest last year. The
greater part Of the states congress
sional delegation will be Democrats.
The Pacific Coast states, Ca,i-
fornia, Washington and Oregon have
given their votes to the Republican
candidates, but Nevada, which voted
against Parker in 1904, gave its
votes this year to Bryan. The Da-
kotas and Minnesota are again Re-
publican, but Governor Johnson's
personal popularity has sufficed to
seat him again in the gubernatorial
chair of the North Star State. Wis
consir. Michigan, Iowa and In fact
the whole northwest are Republican.
