Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1908-11-05

Gov. Hughes has won over Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler by from $4,000
to 81, 900. Chanler's showing in great
er New York was way below expec-
tations. Up the state, however
Hughes ran far behind Taft, but
will come down to the Bronx with
enough of a lead to secure his vic
tory.
The New York legislature will con-
tinue to be republican by a large ma
jority' insuring the election of sue
cessors to Senators Depew and Plat.
Massachusetts has been carried by
Taft by about 100000. Bryan car
ried the city of Boston by twelve
votes. For governor, Draper Rep.
is successful by 10000.
In Connecticut Taft's plurality is
$4,000.
The returns from Rhode Island in
dictate that it has gone for Taft by
10000.
New Hampshire's plurality for
Taft will be in the neighborhood Of
10000.
Maine has declared for Taft by
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1908-11-05

1000.
In Kentucky, where the race was
hot, there was a Democratic gain
over four years ago. Bryan has
carried the state by an estimated
plurality of 10000.
Oklahoma gave Bryan a good plu-
rality.
The latest returns from Pennsyl-
vania Indicate a Republican plurality
on the national ticket of 250,0O0.
Delaware is for Taft by perhaps
25,OOO.

House of Representatives.

The Republican plurality fell off

New York by a Plurality
That Approximates

New York, Nov. A. Taft has been
elected president by a plurality
which will hardly fall below Mr..
Roosevelt in 1904. Reports indicate
that he had carried all of the doubt
full states, with the possible excep-
ton of Indiana, where the contest is
very close. In this state Mr.. Tafts
indicated plurality is IFS, 900, and he
has carried Greater New York by a
small plurality.
In New Jersey Taft's plurality will
exceed Roosevelt's, apparently, and
the state is Taft's by probably 80, 200.
The returns from Maryland indicate
that Taft has won by probably 3d.
900. Ohio and West Virginia, which
had been cIassed as doubtful states.
have been carried by Taft. Wiscon-
sin, considered to be debatable
ground by democratic managers, is
for Taft by 10000. Minnesota is
for Taft by about $4,000. In many
of the southern states the democra-
tic pluralities fell off.

BRYAN MADE A BIC GAIN
BUT 1T WAS NOT ENOUGH.

81, 900.
New Jersey is in the Taft column
by upwards of $4,000.
Taft is successful in Maryland by
small plurality. The Republicans
claim it by from 5000 to 10000. The
returns indicate the correctness Of
the former figures.
Bryan carried the solid south, the
reports indicating that the negroes
in some of the states-Georgia, for
instance-voted for him in large
numbers.
In the middle west Bryan did not
make the running his managers ex-
pected, Illinois gives Taft a plurali-
ty of at least 10000, ard Gov. De-
neen wins over Adlai E. Stevenson
by an estimated plurality of 100. 900.
Taft carried the city of Chicago by
$4,000. Stevenson had 5000 in
Chicago.
In Indiana the reports indicate
that Taft has carried the state by
the narrowest of pluralities-3 .000it
is estimated, Thomas R. Marshall,
the democratic candidate for COVER
nor, is elected over James Watson.
In Allen county, where Indianapolis
is located, which gave Roosevelt
about $4,000 four years ago. Taft
beat Bryan by twelve votes.
Ohio has gone for Taft by safe
plurality, but the race for the COVER
norship is close. Judson Harmon,
democratic candidate, claiming his
election over Gov. Harris.
Michigan rolled up the usual re-
publican plurality probly 125, 200.
Minnesota provided another old
time republican landslide plurality,
about 100000, according to incom-
plete returns up to this hour. john
son is probably reelected.
Missouri furnished one of the
highest contests anywhere in the
country. Bryan is successful in that
state by less than 5000, according
to the early returns.
Nebraska is claimed by the Re-
publicans by $1,000. although the
Democrats insist that the result is
still in doubt.
Colorado's plurality for Taft will
equal what it gave Roosevelt four
years ago. Generally in the Pacific
coast states. the Republican plurali-
ties are imposing. although in most
cases, a little below the Roosevelt
figures.
Iowa went Repu blican by about
10000.
Kansas leaned to Taft by 10000.
Idaho is Republican by small
plurality
Nevada is Democratic by perhaps
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1908-11-05

of Representatives probably will con-
tinue under its old regime. Mr..
Payne will have charge of the new
tariff bill in the extra session which
Taft will call Immediately after
March A next.
Missouri has returned to the "Sol-
id South" on the presidential ticket
and elected Cowherd as its Cover
