DAWSON PILES UP
A BIG MAJORITY
DOMAIN GETS MAJORITY OF 500
IN THAT SECTION.
Especial to The Gazette

Especial to The Gazette.)
GLENDIVE, Nov. 4.-The first esti-
mate that Donlan would carry Daw-
son county by five hundred seems to
have been very correct. With reliable
returns from twelve out of thirty pre-
cincts Donlan has 731, and Norris 1862,
or a majority Of 379. Most of the pre-
cincts vet unheard from are small.
They will probably return a total OF
$50 to 800 votes of which Donlan will
get better than half; bringing his
plurality above the 500 mark. He is
running even with Taft. The rest Of
the Republican state ticket is running
about on a par with Donlan, with
Boyle some what in lead.
In Glendive, Boyle polled about 204
votes more than Taft. It is now GER
tain that Sidney Sanner of Miles City
is elected Judge OF the seventh dis
trict, having carried Custer county,
and polled a large vote comparatively
in Dawson. c. H. Loud, polled a very
small vote here, but his strength in
Custer makes him second in the race
with Theodore Ientz of Dawson, third.
Republicans have elected their COM
(plete ticket here with exception OF
sheriff, Andrew Larson, democratic,
led j. E. Cornell, republican, by less
than a dozen votes until county pre-
cincts were heard from. that pushed
Larson apparently beyond Cornell's
reach. Cardkey, democratic candidate
for county clerk, defeated Wyman, re-
publican, in Glendive and Wibaux, the
two largest precincts of the county,
but later returns from county pre-
cincts have given Wyman a lead Of 70,
with just half the precincts reported.
This is undoubtedly too strong a lead
for Cardkey to overcome.

Merchants Of Japan Greet Pacific
Coast Visitors.
TOXIC, Nov. 4-The various asso-
Citations interested in foreign trade
gave a banquet in this city in honor
Of the representatives Of the Pacific
coast business interests now visiting
in this country. The function vas at
tended by fully 200 business men and
in the speeches delivered there was a
frank and free interchange of views
and ideas, the general tone taken by
the speakers being such as to clearly
prove that all apprehension as to the
possibility of a clash Of commercial in.
terests between the two countries Is
entirely unfounded.
The American speakers showed
keen appreciation Of the receptions
accorded them by the business men
Of all sections OF Japan and the func.
ton as a whole is viewed by all who
attended as being highly significant
and successful; and portending a
great future development in the trade
Of both countries. /.

body.
PORTLAND, Nov. 4.--Reports re-
ceived up to 6 o'clock tonight from
Oregon give Judge Taft a lead Of &c.
617 over Bryan. These returns give
Debs but 3,01O, Chain 133 and Hisgen
ITS. Later returns probably will IN
crease Taft's lead, his total majority
perhaps going 27,500, or more. They
also will slightly increase the size Of
the Prohibition, Socialist and indie
pendence party vote.
The surprises of the election are
the manner in which Taft ran ahead
of the most sanguine predictions-ex-
ceeding as it probably will by some
four thousand the estimate made by
Secretary Macarthur of the Republic
can state central committee and the
smallness of the vote cast for Debs..
Conservative prediction estimates
predicted this at not less than 10000.

TAFT GETS INDIANA, AND DEMO.
Gratis CARRY STATE.
LEGISLATURE
In That Event, There is a Probability
That the Man Defeated for the Vice
Presidency Will be Sent to United
States Senate from Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. "A radical
change in Indiana's representation in
the national house of representatives
was the most striking feature of yes
terday's election. The latest unofficial
returns complete give the Democratic
party eleven members and the Repub-
licans two. This is a gain Of seven
for the Democrats, the former repre-
sentation being nine Republicans and
four Democratic members.
William H. Taft carried the state
for president, according to incomplete
returns, by about 5000.
Thomas r. Marshall for governor
and the entire Democratic ticket are
probably elected by a plurality around
Is, 1000. AS the returns come slowly
rolling in Marshall's plurality in
ttcreases, while the vote on the Repub
lican national ticket decreases.
The state legislature is probably
Democratic, which mean that a Dem
~ocratic ces to Senator James "A
Hemenway will be chosen. IN thi.
connection the name of John w. Kerr
lis mentioned.
The defeat. OF Congressman Jesse
Overstreet and Charles B. Lands, who
were regarded as fixtures in the low
er house of congress, is regarded al
quite a surprise.
Three districts still in doubt arr
likely to return Democratic represent
atives, according to the best informa
ton obtainable and the opinions ex
pressed at the headquarters OF boil
parties.

him that such was the sentiment of a

Judge Taft wished uttered for him to-
night. With Mrs. Taft, he has enjoyed
the pleasant household Of the G. z.
Taft family mansion today, going forth
only once, and then to receive the
plaudits Of thousands of his fellow
townsmen as they lined the streets and
filed the windows for blocks to wit
ness the parade of the Woodward High
school pupils, faculty and trustees.
Mr.. Taft made the principal address
at the cornerstone: laying of the new
building Of this school from which ne
was graduated when q boy.
The function gave the city an OPP
portunity to pay its first day light
tribute to the president-elect and full
advantage was taken Of it. Judge Taft
did not refer to- the election of politics
In his brief address, but confined him-
selfato the history Of the school, which
held for him many fond memories.
II am going away for a complete
rest Of at least two weeks" said Judge
Taft tonight. No, I am not going to
hold political conferences, neither am
II going to consider cabinet construc-
ton nor political appointments during
this time. It is to be a period Of as
near absolute rest and quiet as / can
make It."
Three thousand kilograms Of congra-
tulation were delivered to Judge Taft
today. They included messages from
cabinet officers, senators, representa-
tiyes, ambassadors, politicians, resi-
dents Of the Philippines and the far
east and personal friends and ad-
mirers.
G. II. Shever telegraphed for himself
and 1000 other laboring men in Okla

FEW CHANGES IN
THE 4. s. SENATE
IT IS REPUBLICAN BY A GREAT
MAJORITY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The pres
ent indications are that the Republi-
cans will have about a two-thirds ma
jority in the United States senate as
the result of yesterdays election, or
practically the same as at present.
OF the ninety-two members of that
body, sixty-one hold over, leaving only
t~hirty-one places to fill, of which
twelve are Democrats and the remain
der Republicans. Alabama, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Maryland already have
chosen Democrats and Kentucky and
Vermont Republicans. The other SEN
ators to whom successors are to be
elected are:
Republicans-Allison Iowa, who will
be succeeded by a Republican; Ankle
ney, Washington; Brandegee, Con
necticut; Gallinger, New Hampshires
Hansborough, North Dakota; Hey
burn, Idaho; Hopkins, Illinois; Kit
tredge, South Dakota; Long, Kansas;
Penrose, Pennsylvania; Perkins, Cali
fornia; Plat, New York; smoot,
Utah; Stephenson, Wisconsin.
All of these will be succeeded either
by themselves or other Republicans.
Democrats-Clay, Georgia; Gary.
South Carolina; Gore, Oklahoma; MIL
ton, Florida; Overman, North Caro-
lima.
All Of these will be succeeded by
Democrats.
The only senatorships remaining in
doubt Ire those in Ohio, Indiana and
Oregon, which are now represented
by Senators Foraker, Hemenway and
Fulton, Republicans. and Colorado,
Missouri and Nevada, represented BY
Senator'S Teller, Stone and Newlands,
Democrats.
Governor Clmmlns OF Iowa is about
to realize his ambition of becoming a
senator from that state. He has many
admirers in Washington and his en-
try upon the scene Of national poll
tics will be observed with keen inter
est. II Indiana should send q Demo
crat in place Of Hemenway it Is sup
posed here that John w. Kern, the
defeated vice presidential candidate,
would be chosen, and he would be the
first Democrat to occupy q senatorial
seat from Indiana since 1899, when
David Thrpie surrendered his Office to
Senator Beverage.
The final figures regarding the re-
suit In the house probably will show
little change in numbers, but there
will be candidates shifting in the per
sonnet Of that body.
The defeat Of O'ieay by Hammond
in the second Minnesota district
brings to mind the fact that he Ne
signed his position % second assist
ant postmaster general to make the
recent race. Republicans generally
are delighted with their gain Of two
members from the new state Of Okla,
homa. Tue change will give the Re
publioans three Of the ave members Of
the house from that state.

The result Of the national election
