The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-11-04

the United States and James Sher-
man, of New York, has been chosen
Vice-president. This is the outcome of
one of the most remarkable political
campaigns in the history of this Re-
public. William Jennings Bryan, of
Nebraska, Democratic candidate went
down to the third defeat of his life's
ambition to occupy the White House.
The returns today indicate that Taft
will have at least 298 electoral votes
and possibly more. One of the results
surprising even the most sanguine of
the Republicans was Taft carrying
the City of Greater New York by
plurality of 15,645. His plurality in
New York state will exceed Roose-
velt's big plurality of 1904. Governor
Hughes was reelected by a plurality
estimated early today at above $4,000
over the vote cast for his Democratic
opponent, Lieut.. Gov. Chan1er.
While Greater New York gave Taft
more than $4,000 it gave Chanler
margin of 56,S43.
With thirty-one United States SEN
ures chosen yesterday Or earlier in the
Fall, the Republicans will retain con-
troll of both houses of Congress- The
precise figures are subject to change,
however.
The New England states, New
rallied to Taft with notable MAORI
ties. Mary1andts returns early today
dwindled Taft.s plurality as claimed
last night until Bryan appeared to
have narrowly carried the state West
Virginia also is in doubt. If Maryland
and West Virginia are both Bryan
states. Taft still has 291. - electoral
votes.
OF states which at the outset of
the day were generally placed in the
Bryan column, Colorado and Montana
are still subject to counter claims. Ne
braska, however is heavily credited
to Bryan. On the basis of facts alrea-
dy known the table of electoral votes
would be as follows:
States for Taft: California, 10; Con-
necticut, z; Delaware, 8; Idaho, 3; Ill
inois, 81; Indiana, Is; Iowa, 13; Kan
sas, 10; Maine, 6; Massachusetts,, 16;

ginia, Total, Is.
Among the more significant results
were reelection to congress of Speak
er Cannon and Chairman Payne, of
the House Committee on Ways and
Means, and the probable reelection
of Governor johnson, Democrat, in
Minnesota, which state gave Taft a
plurality of 1900,
The vote of Hisgen, of the indepen-
dence party. was meager and did not
materially affect the result. Little is
q, ct kne'yn of the magnitude of the
Socialist and Prohibition vote.
