MAhNLAND'o EIGHT ELEcToRS
ARE SPLIT BETWEEN HIM
AND BRYAN.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF the Pres.
ldsntial Election In Other States
Governors Chosen.

New York, Nov. 7.-William Taft
will receive 321 votes In the electoral
college that will choose the next presi-
dent OF the United States. William j.
Bryan gets 1872 votes. .s
This division Of the electoral college
i due to the splitting Of Maryland's
vote. That state, while giving Taft
plurality Of SCI, yet elects six Bryan
electors and two Taft electors. The
total vote cast in the state was: Taft,
116,471; Bryan, 1890. These figures
represent the electors receiving the
most votes.
Missouri. which at first was believed
to have returned to the Democratic
fold at the presidential election, was
found to have given Taft its 10 cleo
toral votes by a plurality of 3,172 over
Bryan. These returns are complete
from all but three of the Ia counties,
and include estimates based on par
tial returns from the missing cOun
ties.
New York's Avalanche.
In New York the most hopeful ex-
pectations of the Republican cam
paign managers were surpassed and
the Empire state swept into the Taft
column and overwhelmed his opposi-
ton with veritable avalanche of
votes. rolling up colossal plurality
of 21S,OGO. In Massachusetts the
Democrats were showed under by the
stupendous plurality Of 100000, while
in New Jersey they had margin of
$4,000, a gain of more than 5000 in
excess of the vote for President
Roosevelt four, years ago.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois,
Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio,
and Indiana each contributed it's share
to the onslaught on the Republican
total of four years ago, so that while
the party has succeeded in giving its
candidate comfortable majority in
the electoral college, the popular vote
has been whitfield down in amazing
proportions.
Indiana Won by Marrow Margin.
The only place where the Demo
Gratis made strong bid for a doubtful
state was Indiana, where they sue
ceeding in holding the Republican
margin down to 5000. AT the same
time the Democrats elected the state
ticket, thus revealinog the bitter hand
to hand character of the fight which
was waged in the Hoosier common
wealth during the last 60 days Of the
campaign.
