practically insures Grant n majority
In the county of 1000.
None the less surprising are the re-
turns in the county for the office of
joint representative. Edward Mickey
defeated Ed Simon. in the precincts
from which returns have been received.
by a majority of S3S. Whiting will
add $50 to this and Gary will tack on
another $50. making Wickey's majority
in the county approximately 1.200. This
exceeds the widest dreams of the re-
publicans.
REITER LEADS TICKET.
Virgil S. Reiter leads the county
ticket In the precincts which have
already been heard from his majority
is 1888. 1t was one of the most SPLEEN
did victories of the day. 1t is believed
that when Gary and Whiting are heard
from this figure will be increased to
1000 and perhaps to 1900.
Judge Refers strength is shown by
a comparison with the of E. D. Crum-
packer, who has usually lead the ticket
in the county. Crumpackers ma
jority in the precincts which have been
heard from is 1893 and will be in
creased by the Gary and Whiting vote
to 2,100 or 1000.
| STRENGTH ExCITES WONDER.
! The strength of James E. Watson in
Lake county is one of the inexplicablt
surprises which confronted the tabula-
tors of the returns. It was generally
conceded that Watson's strength II
Lake county would be reduced to on,
half of that of the candidates who lead
the ticket
| Instead of that Mr.. Watson is known
to have polled s,O46 votes to 3,5S,
polled by Marshall. This gives him
clear majority of 2,46o votes on tn
face of the returns which have alread!
been received within the strength tina
he is known to have in Gary and Whit
ing it is believed that this majorit!
will reach 5000 easily and will prob
ably exceed that figure. 1t may b
said that the returns on the Watson
vote are more complete than on tina
of any other candidate.
William H Kliver was returned a.
easy victor over his opponent, NJ H
which Mr. Kliver received in the pre-
from indicate that he has carried tn
county by 1900 to 1000.
AS the rest of the candidates on tn
county ticket. Willis c. Mcmahon an
Charles Greenwald had no oppositio
for the respective offices of Judge c
the Lake circuit court and prosecutin
attorney for Lake and Porter coun
ties and secured about the same ma
jorities as the leaders on the ticket.
Johnson ran well and easily defeate
! his opponent, Andrew ]. Smith for tn
office of county auditor. DIR. Shanklil
the republican candidate for corone
ran like wildfire and defeated his oppo

to be 1000 to $500.
Richard Schaaf, sr.. the candidate fc

TAFT IS ELECTED

North Caroline and other states in
which some thought Taft had a chance,
are returning about the normal demo-
cratic pluralities.
Meager returns from the Pacific coast
indicate a Taft sweep in all those states
except Nevada.
Ore conspicuous factor of the result
is the obvious failure of organized la
Dor to make effective warfare upon

ed almost everywhere. 1t apparently
made no serious impression upon the
republican majorfties in such cities as
New York. Buffalo Albany. Troy. Cin-
cinnati and Cleveland, where it threat

enough votes to Bryan in Ohio and In
diana to make great reduction of the
former republican majorities, but with
out affecting the results.
Was big Surprise.
New York city affords one of the
greatest surprises of the election.
Instead of giving Bryan the 100000
so confidently claimed by Bosses Muir
ply and McCarren, Taft has actually
carried the metropolis.
This is the second time a republican
candidate for president has carried New
York city, Mckinley having a plurality
of 81 900 in 1896. Four years later
Bryan carried the city by $4,000. and
in 1904 Parker carried it by 100000
Two years ago Chanler carried 1t fol
lieutenant governor by 10000, and this
year the democratic leaders felt sure OF
from 10000 to 1000 for Bryan. Ever
the republicans conceded the city t.
Bryan by $4,000, and probably there are
no more surprised men in the country

him for the splendid work he has done
In the campaign.
The first returns frem Indiana, which
came mainly from the cities, Indicated
Bryan was running ahead of the Par
ker vote fin the state in 1904 at an aver
age of about forty votes to the pre-
cinct. This was based on thirty-six
precincts. sixty precincts showed the
average to be only twenty-seven to
the precinct. This indicates that out
side townships were not voting SO
strongly for Bryan the cities. Mar
shall. however, showed heavy gains
over Bryan and returns indicate he
may carry the state, even If Bryan
does not.
VigO County for Bryan.
Reports received by. the republican
state committee indicate that Clinton
county will give Taft plurality of
350 and Watson 200. Reports to the
republican committee from Delaware
county are that eleven out of thirty
four precincts gave Taft 1887; Bryan,
1.ys0; Watson, 1880; Marshall, 2,44S.
Wayne county reported that Watson
will have 1000 and Taft 5000. Re-
ports from Vigo county showed that
fourteen out of forty-one precincts
gave Taft 1855; Bryan, 5000. In these
same precincts Watson fell far behind,
receiving 4,529 to MarshaIi-s 6.279.

Fargo, N D., Nov. 3.-with Taft
leading by 5000 in 800 precincts in the
southern part of the state heard from
at midnight, the race for governor
grows alarmingly close, Burke. the
democrat having 1906, and Johnson,
republican, II. 800. The loss that John
son suffers In the cities is being more
than made up in the rural districs.
The northwestern part of the state,
Johnson's home, is still to be heard
from Practically no reports have been
received on United States senator,
which was voted with separate ballots.
Marshall, who led at the primary, will
doubtless be recommended to the state
legislature.
The total vote over the state will ex-
coed that of two years ago by 20 per
cent. The majorities of Hanna and
Gronna, republican candidates for con-
gress, are increasing with additional
returns, and their majorities will be
close to that of the republican presi-

"Taft," SAYS Minnesota.

st. Paul, Nov. 3.-While the early re-
turns indicated the election of Governor
Johnson by a plurality from 10000 to
1000 the later returns from the coun-
try districts have greatly modified this,
offsetting the large vote of the cities
and towns for Johnson by definite
gains for Jacobson, republican, for
governor. The returns at midnight are
far too definite. however, to accurately
forecast the result
Chairman Frank Day of the demo
cratic state central committee and
Chairman A. D. Brown of the republt-

willing to give figures and say the

New JERSEY Is Republican

Newark, n J.. Nov S.-The repub-

today. Taft will have a plurality which
will approach and may exceed that of
Roosevelt four years ago. when it was
upward of $4,000. Seven OF the ten
congressm chosen are republicans
and the republicans will control both
