Fairview. Lincoln, Nov. 3.-Wm
j. Bryan tonight received at hts
home at Fairview, returns which
early told him that for the third
time he had been defeated in the
greatest ambitions Of his life.
Confident Of victory to the very
last he was not prepared to believe
his cause was lost until the plurali-
ties Of his republican opponent piled
up in such proportions as to leave
no room for doubt. When returns
came in he made particular inquiries
regarding the state of New York,
and found much encouragement in
the gains he was making up state
over the democratic vote of 1904.
Even in that he was bitterly disap-
pointed and he soon realized that
state was hopelessly gone and with
it his prospects Of being elected.
According to the predictions Of
his managers. he was led to believe
that he would be elected without
the aid of the empire state and he
turned his inquiries toward Ohio
and Indiana. Heavy democratic
gain in the thirteenth. Ohio. dis
trict was a source Of satisfaction
to him and indicated that his prop
hesies that Ohio would go demo-
cratic would be fulfilled. He also
cot much comfort out of telegram
from John e. Lamb. stating that In
dications that Indiana was probably
democratic and derived good deal
of satisfaction that his own pre-
cinct had given him a handsome ma
jority and in the reports that he
would carry his home state.
New York, Nov. 4.-Late devel-
opponents of the situation surprised
the political leaders Of both big par
ties tonight and the result may be
vindication of the judgment OF
National Chairman Hitchcock, that
Taft would receive 1926 votes in the
electoral college. Midnight returns
indicate that he Is practically assur-
ed OF 30g votes and that he has a
fighting chance for Missouri's 18
votes which would give him two
more than Hitchcock claimed.
Missouri has been considered as
Bryan's but the plurality that was
turned in tonight from q good part
of the state, including st. Louis.
took the leaders by surprise. II to-
nights advantage is continued, Mis-
souri, will be In the Taft column.
1t is now placed among the doubtful
states.
Another surprise of the night was
the close vote in Maryland, which
is claimed for Taft by the narrow
margin of 1876 votes. The demo-
Gratis no not concede this state and
will not be satisfied with anything
short Of the official count.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4.-W. H. Taft
gave hearty expression to the graft
fication he felt on his election as
president of the United States. Bus
mess, labor and agriculture had sup
ported him, and he declared, his
success would also be the success of
the country. il his ability and en-
deavor could make it so.
