The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1908-11-06

It is the same old Bryan tidal wave,
A tidal wave swept William Howard |
Taft into the White House Just as it
swept William Mckinley thither in
1896 and 1900.
Mr.. Tafts majority in the Electoral
College will be at least 100. Govern
or Hughes has been reelected in New
york by plurality of approximately
$4,000. The House Of Representa-
tives is safely Republican Even
"TTncle Joe" Cannon, despite the eff
forts OF Mr. Gompers. has snatched
himself like a brand from the burning
and is reelected in the Danville, Ill,
district by a plurality between 5000
and 1000
The victory for the Administration
and the Roosevelt policies is over
whelming. In word, Mr.. Taft has
carried practically the entire East
from Maine to Virginia and from the
Atlantic to the Alleghenies He has
carried practically the entire Middle
West. His victory in Illinois is so
great that one almost fails to credit
the reports. Cook County, in which
the city of Chicago is situated and in
which Mr. Bryan firmly believed he
had started a political revolution,
was carried by Taft by upward of 49,
600 plurality. In the state Taft beat
BRYAN almost two to one.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
have gone heavily for Taft. Both the
Dakotas are Republican on the nation
al ticket.
Kansas is Republican by at least
10000
Scarce in Kentucky.
Taft has easily even given the Dem
ocratic nominee a close contest in the
border state of Kentucky. Indeed, SO
easily has the Republican candidate
walked in that one wonders why the
Republicans we're so badly scared
nearly working Mr.. Taft and the
White House stenographer to deatf
and generally bending every energy tc
make the victory so emphatic.
The election is big with signiti
canoe. Speaker Cannon Is reelected
Representative Dalzell is reelected
Representative Payne IS reelected
Everywhere that Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Gompers made a special effort q
feat the man he had placed on th~ n
fair list he came to grief. It was thu
first effort of organized labor to aligl
itself with a political party, and l
will probably be the last.
Another significant thing in tn
election is its probable effect on tn
fortune of Tammany Hall. Tamman,
has failed utterly to make good 1t
promises to Mr.. Bryan concerning Tn
Democratic vote in New York ina
BRYAN should not have polled yer
large vote here. approXimating lOO
600 more than Taft, will be oltte
disappointment to all the Bryan 10
lowers. The day before election
DELEGATION of enthusiastic supporter
of Mr.. Bryan waited upon one OF tn
most prominent men in Tamman
Hall and plainly told him that II IAN
mapv did not give Mr.. Bryan q yer
large plurality in New York veng'
ance would be taken on Tammany
the next Mayorality election ana ID
Bryanites would be used to elect
Republican Mayor.
This phase of the voting is caus)n
the gravest apprehension to the MOI
intelligent and conservative member
of the wigwam.
There has been slaughter OF X
nublican gubernatorial candidates
states which Taft has carried. Q
lev Arnold, Democrat, is elected
Rhode Island,, Governor Burke is r
elected in North Dakota; GoVern'
Johnson is. reelected in Minnesot
Some Of the pluralrties for Tart a
enormous. Maine Gives him 6OVg
vermont $4,000; Massachusetts, lO'
