IN New York state by about 10000
plurality
Indiana has gone for Taft by from
$4,000 to $4,000 plurality.

braska, although the republicans still
claim the state.
Ohio returns have been seriously de-
iayed owing to the immense size Of the
ballot, but Taft has carried the state

u 600 plurality, this being the first
time the city has given its vote to a
republican candidate for the presidency
since 1896, when Mckinley had small
plurality.
Mr. Taft received greater plurality
an New York state than Roosevelt did

TO 100000 COR Mr.. Taft as against 49,
600 for Roosevelt.

governors have been elected in several
or the middle western states that have
given their presidential votes to Taft.
Mr.. Taft has exceeded Mr.. Roose- |
yeit's plurality in New Jersey and in
Massachusetts, as well as in New York. |

heavily in -he middle west in n manner
thoroughly surprising to the republican
managers.
Speaker Cannon has been reelected
by his usual majority

and Representative DaIzell of Pennsvl-
vania are reelected, and the house of

Washington has given Taft major
ity close to $4,000 on the presidential
ticket, while the majority for S. G. Cos
grove, republican, for governor, bids
fair to run close to 10000, and the rest
of the republican state ticket will fol |
low closely in his tracks. All three con
gressmen are elected by handsome ma
joritics, and the legislature, which is
pledged to elect Wesley Jones to sue
coed United States Senator Levi An
keny, will be overwhelmingly republican
in both branches
King county will give Taft plurality
of about 10000.

licans to s democrats.
