Colorado for Bryan.

Denver, Colo.-Colorado seems sure
for Bryan, and the Democratic State
ticket shows a lead that indicates vic
tory. Scratching has been heavy in all
sections, Denver county's vote being 60
per cent scratches. Estimates at mid
night indicate that Bryan ran behind
the State ticket, and that the Democratic
plurality will be probably nc more than
5000. The vote in all parts of the
State was heavy, with Denver breaking
all records. John +. Shafroth of Den
yer seems to have a safe plurality for
governor. The legislature is very close,
with the Democrats probably having a
majority of members. Charles j. Hughes
of Denver, lawyer has the Democratic
pledge for United States senator.

tracks and other interests which he hac

more than $4,000 and may fall under
that figure.
Vote Very Heavy.
Hughes pulled up steadily up State
The vote was very heavy throughout the
State and it was gotten into the ballot
boxes early. The weather was fine and
the sun helped bring out the big Repub
lican vote. Chanler failed utterly to get
out the votes in Greater New York that
had been expected he would.
The most remarkable feature of the
election was the manner in which Bryan
was slaughtered in New York City.
There is no question that Tammany
traded Bryan for Chanler wherever pos
sible, and shrewd political observers ex'
pected, under the circumstances, that the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
would receive a much heavier vote than
it did.
Taft carried Brooklyn by a substan.
tial majority, apparently in the neigh.
borhood of 10000, while Manhattan did
not give Bryan a sufficient margin to
offset this.
The Republicans are claiming a ma
jority of over 100000 for Taft for the
State and between 5000 and 10000 in
Greater New York, and a majority of
5 0 1000 in the State for Hughes.

Lincoln, Neb.-At 1870 Wednesday
nesday morning, indications were that
Nebraska had gone Democratic by a plu-
rality not far from 10000 for Bryan
and a plurality scarcely less for the ma
tional ticket. AS was confidently ex-
pected, the result was a surprise and a
disappointment to Republican manage
ment, which, while admitting the State
was doubtful on the national ticket, con-
fidently expected the State ticket to be
elected. The tremendous gain for Bryan
in the city of Lincoln was the sensation
of the election. Not only did Mr.. Bryan
reverse a Republican plurality of 1000
in his home city, but he carried it by a
plurality of something in excess of 600.
If this is maintained throughout, Bryan
has won by a little over 5000 aside from
Lincoln and Omaha and Shallenberger is
elected governor by practically the same
plurality.

IOWA BY 4 1000.
Large Loss From Roosevelt Plurality
Labor Vote to Bryan.

Des Moines, Iowa.-The incomplete re-
turns received at 10 o'clock indicate that
Taft has carried Iowa by a plurality of
from 1000 to $4,000. This is a trc-
mendous falling off from the Roosevelt
plurality of $4,000 of four years ago,
but it represents only a slight falling off
from the normal plurality. The entire
Republican State ticket is elected, prob
ably by about the same plurality. Gov.
Cummins probably carried the Republi-
can senatorial primary over Maj. j. +.
Lacey by a plurality of 100000 to $4,000,
a tremendous gain from last June, when
he was defeated by Allison by 1000.
The indications are that the entire

Observation-Disclosures the mea-
greness of the early returns from Ohio,
they seemed to give a fair indication of
the result, although positive statement
of plurality was impossible. All sections
of the State, both city and country, were
included in the first returns, and the
same ratio continued, would give a plu-
rality for Taft for president in his home
State anywhere from 100, 900 up. Cleye-
land, Cincinnati, Toledo and Dayton are
included in the first reports and in all

Topeka, Kan.-The early election re-
turns in Kansas indicate that Taft has
carried the State by $4,000 plurality,
and that the entire Republican State and
congressional ticket is elected by proper
%tionate .pluralities. The State ticket is
running close to the pluralities of Taft
except where Stubs, Republican candi-
date for governor, is being scratched in
every precinct.
1t is not impossible that J. d. Bodkin,
Democrat, may be elected governor.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Four hundred and

the State of Ohio give Taft 3S,4S2,
Bryan 33,1SS. The same precincts in
1904 rave Roosevelt 1876, Parker &c.

the additional returns came in later In
the night, and at l o'clock it seemed
that Taft would receive slightly more
than a normal Republican plurality OF

governor, was debated.

TAFT CARRIES INDIANA.
Marshall, Democrat, Elected Governor by
Small Majority.

indianapolis, Ind.-Judge Taft's plu-
rality in Indiana may not exceed 1000.
1t may even be less than that. At the
Democratic State headquarters Chair
man jackson and his associates have
not yet conceded that Bryan has lost
the State. They say the result is in
doubt, and that Bryan may pull through
by a small plurality. This, however, Is
not generally believed. The returns from
the first 500 precincts reported, com
pared with the vote cast for President
Roosevelt in Indiana four years ago,
show that Taft will run $1,000 behind
the plurality of Republicans in the last
national election. On this basis his plu-
rality would not exceed 1000.
