The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-11-04

NGW 1OTks NONss o-N0pSSA@Ay- N- the same Bryan tidal wave, a tidal wave that has swept William Howard Taft into the White House just as 1t swept William Mckinley thither in 1ss6 to 1900. Mir. Taft's majority in the electoral college will be 139 ac- cording to The New York Herald.
 Governor Hughes has been re-elect- ed in New York by a plurality of ap- proximately 45.0o0.
 The House of Representatives Is safely Republican. Even Uncle Joe" Cannon, despite the efforts of Samuel Gompers, has snatched himself, like a brand from the burning, and is re- elected in the Danville. Ill, district by a plurality between 5000 and 1000.
 The victory for the administration and the Roosevelt policies iE over wheIming In a word, Mr. Taft has carried practically the entire east from Maine to Virginia and from the Allan tic to the Alleghenies. He has carried practically the entire middle west, His victory in Illinois is so great that 0UO Cook county, in which the city of Chicago is situated, and In which MT. !. Ss..--,an-- s' ally believed he had started a political revolution, was carried by Taft by upwards of 10000 plurality. In the state Taft beat Bryan almost two to one.
 Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have all gone heavily for Taft. Both the Dakotas are Republican on the national ticket. Kansas is Republican by at least 30,0OO. Taft has easily given the Democratic nominee close contest in the border state of Ken lucky.
 Organized Labor Lost.
 The election is big with significance because 1t spells disaster for the su- preme effort made by Samuel Gompers to deliver the labor vote of the country to a political party. MT. Bryan is de- feated and badly defeated. Speaker Cannon is reelected. Representative Payne is reelected. Everywhere that MT. Bryan and MT. Gompers male Special effort to defeat the man he had placed on the unfair list, he came to grief. It was the first effort of or ganized labor to align itself with political party, and it will probably be the last. in the opinion of seasoned politicians.
 Another significant thing in the elec- tion is its probable effect on the for tune of Tammany Hall. Tammany has failed utterly to make good it's promises to MT. Bryan regarding the Democratic vote in this city.
 This vote in New York City for President has caused the greatest sur prise. That Bryan's lead should dwin- die to nothing and Taft should finally get small plurality in the city, causes astonishment even to the Republican managers. It is believed that this is due to the tremendous inroads made on the Democratic vote by the Social 1sts.
 The result in Ohio was most em- phatic. Although the early returns indicated the state might be in doubt the latest estimates are that Taft has carried 1t by a plurality of anywhere from 1OO,o 900 upwards Cleveland, Cin- cinnati, Toledo and Dayton, all labor centres, gave a very heavy vote for Mir. Taft.
 Indiana. the scene of one of the most desperate struggles in the campaign, has gone for Taft by a plurality of more than 10000. In this state as well as in Ohio, the shift of labor from Bryan to Taft on the influence of President Roosevelt's letters and Mir. Tafts pledges. 1t is held. caused the final determination in favor of the Republican electors.
 John Johnson Wins.
 There has been slaughter of Re- publican gubernatorial candidates in states which Taft has carried. oney Arnold, Democrat, is elected in Rhode Island. Governor Burke Is reelected fin North Dakota. Governor Johnson ia reelected in Minnesota. Youmans. Democrat, defeats Governor Warner in Michigan almost two to one
