LEGISLATURE TO
Be DEMOCRATIC
G. o. p Leaders Still Hope to Bal
ance State Ticket - Chairman
Richard Schaaf Is Congratulated
For His Splendid Work In This
County.

1t looks as If Indiana has chosen
Taft for president and Marshall for
governor, but the republicans will
not believe it until the last returns
are in.
The state republican central COM
mittee say the result is in doubt and
that Watson will get in by a few
hundred.
The democrats dispute 1t.
Returns from the state editor of the
Indianapolis News to The Times this
morning are to the effect that Marshall
would carry the state by 5000. 1t was
admitted, however, by the Indianapolis
News that only half the state had Civ
mp returns and that the estimate
of 5000 for Marshall was made ON a
ratio basis.
different story is told by Fred Sims
of Indianapolis in a telephone message
to County Chairman Schaaf. MIR. Sims
declared that the result on the govern
orship is very close, and that the rest
of the state ticket is safely republican.
The legislature is safely republican,
and Senator Hemenway will be re-
turned to the senate. He wired his
congratulations to County Chairman

Especial to THE TIMEs.)
BULLETIN.

Indianapolis, Nov. 4, 2:3O p. M
james e. Watson, the republican candi-
date for governor of Indiana, was de-
feated at the polls yesterday by ma
jority which is estimated to be between
5000 and 5000. Thomas r. Marshall
viii be the next governor of Indiana
The republicans in the state have
also lost the legislature and have not
elected more than sixty-efght repre-
sentatfves to the democrats eighty
two. This viii mean the repeal of the
county local option law at the next ses-
sion of the legislature.
1t is believed that all of the repub-
Iican congressman i'm the state have
been defeated except Barnard and
CrumpacIxer. Carl Riddick, chairman
of the speakers bureau of the repub-
Iican state committee, stated that he
believed the rest of the state ticket
might pull through.
He said that I'm a great many of the
counties the head of the state ticket
was knitted yhile the others were not
moIested. In Marion county the state
officers, excepting the. governor, re-
ceived "a majority of about 1900.
BREWERS ON CONTROL.
The brewers are In control of the
executive and Legislative bodies of the
state. According to the republicans In
Indianapolis, there is no limit to what
they are expected to do in the way of
the repeal of the present liquor laws.
Carl RfddicE in statement to The
Times says that the one bright feature
In the whole situation is the splendid
majority which Lake county gave to
MIR. Watson.
"LalKe county is the banner county of
the state" said Mr. RiddicExs s.the whole
state is proud of you. Tell Mr. Schaaf
that we are proud of what he and his
workers have done for the party, even
though it Will avail it nothing in the
face of the overwhelming defeat of the
ticket in other parts of the state"
Carl Riddick says that If Lake coun-
ty gives a larger majority for the rest
of the state ticket than 1T did for Wat
son, 1T lis possible that this county will
save the state ticket, with the excep-
tion OF Watson, for the republicans.

He WILL DELAY CAMPAIGN
Rev. G.. E. Hicks Has Ad-
vices Concerning Coun-
ty Option Fight.

Rev. George Hicks, who is the Off
cial head Of the anti-saloon league in
this district. has received the follow
ing communication from state head
quarters relative to the coming county
option campaign
we want to urge upon our friends
throughout the state who are anxious
to invoke the use of the county local
option law to get rid of their saloons,
that premature contest in any county
may prove fatal to the temperance
cause. The newspapers are publishing
accounts of movements already being
organized in some of the very doubtful
counties to call county option elections.
while the representatives of the
anti saloon league do not claim to be
infallible, yet we believe that no coun-
ty election should be called without
conference with some repres sentative of
the league. 1t should be borne in mind
that partisanship has run high on this
question. and that in some communi-
ties the partisan spirit will not die for
some time to come Then again, in
the event that a reverse comes this
fall to the party which championed the
county option bill, there will be a num-
ber of members of that party in each
community who will be in no frame of
mind to aid in a county option cleo
ton.
THE acts of the legislature will not
be published for a full month yet. On
the whole, we would urge that com
munities be sufficiently deliberate in
bringing on county option elections
that as a result no engagement will en-
sue without thorough preparation for
it. There will not be a county in the
state where sentiment is sufficiently
strong for a winning fight. but that
will have its opportunity within the
next year to bring on an engagement
In Ohio the fields Of contest have been
so judiciously selected that in the first
sixteen county elections the result has
in each instance been victory. Let is
be so in Indiana"

GARY DIDN'T BELLE
HER PROMISES
Unofficial Returns Show
That City Will Give
Snug COP. Majority.

Unofficial returns from three pre-
cincts in Gary indicate that it has
come up to the expectations Of the or
ganization there and that the Gary re-
publicans have fulfilled their promise
to give the republican ticket majori-
ties ranging from 400 to 500.
The sixth and seventh precincts,
which are in what is known as the
Patch" and were expected to poll
something of a democratic majority on
account OF the influence of the large
number of saloons which are located
there, gave the republicans a small ma
jority, much to the surprise OF the peo-
pie in Gary themselves.
With the Patch" holding its own,
the rest of the city Of Gary redeemed
itself Republican leaders there say
that the city will give a majority of
500 for the head OF the ticket.
The vote in three precincts came to
THE TIMES office this morning. These
precincts are the worst in the city and
yet the returns are not at all dis
couraging.
These three precincts gave Taft a
majority Of 330 Watson was given a
majority of 10. Tom Grant ran ahead
of Watson and secured a majority of
zoe in these three precincts.
e. w Wickey came out Of these
three precincts with a majority OF 232
Crumpacker's majority in these pre-
cGncts was 139. Apparently the at
tempt to intimidate the voters in Gary
was a failure and it is expected that
when the other four precincts in Gary
come in the majorities which will be
handed to the rest of the county on a
platter will be very acceptable.

DEATH RATE IS
VERY HIGH
Northern Part of State Does
Not Show UP Very Well
In Statistics.
GENERAL AVERAGE IS HIGHER
Great White Plague Leads the
Mortuary Statistics In In

deaths. The southern section reported
a rate of but 11.3 with a total popu-
lation of 722.146, and 66.9 deaths. In
the same month last year the death
rate was the same in this section with
6s3 deaths. and in the month OF Au-
gust, this year, there were 705 deaths,
with rate of 115. Usually the high
est death rate occurs in the southern
section, and for this month this was
true of typhoid fever and pneumonia
cases.

The total number of deaths in the
state was 2.755, making the rate 1913.
Last year for the same month, 2,751

TAFT CARRIES HAMMOND.

From the precincts which have been
heard from in Hammond and which
does not include the first or the four
teenth, It appears that Taft carried the
city by 213. It is expected that this
figure may be increased to $50.
1t is also a fact that Marshall car
ried Hammond. Marshalrs majority in
this city was only 40. however. and
the reports from the two remaining
precincts indicate that his majority
may be reduced to nothing
When Hammond failed to do more
than that for Bryan and Marshall, IT
was foregone conclusion that they
could not carry the county.

Range from 800 to
1900.

The Lake county republican cup of
happiness is running over.
AS predicted by County Chairman
F. Richard Schaaf in Mondays Times
the republican party in Lake county
elected every man on the county
ticket by substantial majorities.
Taft secured majority in the county
of about $500
1t was a local landslide The
stronger candidates literally carried
the weaker ones to victory Returns
are now in from practically all OF
the precincts in the county and the
strongest candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket were showed under by
republican majorities which will not
go under 800 and in many cases will
exceed 5000.
Sheriff Fred Carter who is con-

candidate on the democratic ticket

Simon was defeated by Tom Grant
by a majority which will exceed

MAJORITTEs OVER ONE THOUSAND.
Returns have been received from all

TAFT GETS 311
BRYAN 172
Republican Leader Carries
New York, New Jersey
and Massachusetts.

w. H. Taft will be our next presi-
dent
The laboring men of the country re-
fused yesterday to be delivered by
Samuel Gompers. The sane voters of
the land would not be stampeded by
Bryan's promise.
BY a vote which swept everything
before it in New York, New Jersey and
Massachusetts, but by greatly reduced
pluralities throughout the rest of the
country, William Howard Taft was
elected president of the United States
yesterday.
He will have in the electoral college
total of 81 votes, while William Jen-
nings Bryan will receive 172. This
gives the republican nominee SO more
than is necessary to secure his elec-
ton and a majority over his demo
cratic opponent of 139.
Taft swept the one state upon which
Bryan relied to win-New York. The
republican majority there will be at
least 10000, and it may run to 100000.
Even in New York City, where Tam
many had made promise to deliver
with Boss Murphys fingers crossed
he was beaten, although his hopeful
followers declared he would go up to
the Bronx with 100000 votes to the
good.

They came from all over the country,
beginning with New York and coming
back home to some outlying precinct.
Long before midnight arrived the crowd
had had an opportunity as to the out
come of the presidential election. The
Peerless Leader was beaten for a third
time, but this did not throw enough of
a damper on the crowd to induce it to
leave The Indiana state ticket was in
doubt. and with Bryan's doom sealed,
attention was centered in the fight be-

ana, and Stevenson and Deneen in Illi-

others from doubtful states, toppling
over with a big lead for Taft.
Times Was Authority.
The pictures of Taft, Bryan, Roose-
welt, Lincoln, Mckinley and Cleveland
were displayed occasionally and
brought forth volumes of applause.
The night was pleasant and shielded
by the big building little of the raw
