ELECT
RESULT

The result OF the election Tues
day by states may be summed up
about as follows:
The southern state were carried
for Bryan by about the usual vote
while the New England states went
for Taft by about the usual major,
tiles. Oklahoma gave Bryan 49,
600. Everything in Nebraska went
Democratic, including the legisla-
ture. Taft carried Indiana by 81
900 but the Democrats carried eley-
en- out of thirteen congressional dis
tricts and the legislature by a ma
Jorlty OF TWO on joint ballot. John
w. Kern may go to the senate.
Ohio gave Taft 100000 less than
Roosevelt got and elected a Demo-
cratic governor. Both parties claim
the legislature, which elects sena-
tor. The Democrats win In Colo
RADIO by a small plurality and also
elect governor and legislature.
Taft's plurality in New York is
2O3,495. Missouri is in doubt on
the national ticket. the Republicans
nave elected governor and the
Democrats have four majority in
The legislature. Maryland is claim
ed by Taft by 149 votes. The Of
dcial count will be necessary to de-
eide II.
