THE organized workers stood true to

wealth, privilege and power gained a

The part labor took compelled the dis
cussion to be devoted almost exclusively
to the labor question, labor movement
and the principles of right. justice and

and demands are based. Even though
disappointed with the immediate result,
there is no cause to believe that there
will be any loss of faith and confidence

terday or earlier in the fall, and in the
light of the results in the several states
so far as known early today, the Repub-
licans will retain their control of both
houses of Congress, the precise figures
being subject to change as final returns
arrive.
Bryans chief strength seems to have
been in the middle west. There is de-
gree of truth in the saying in vogue here
last night, the east has elected a Pres
ident." New England, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, rallied to Taft
with notable majorities.
Cannon Is Reelected.
Among the more significant results were
the reelection to Congress of Speaker

of the House committee on ways and
means; the election of Representative

SOUTH the reelection for a third term
of Gov. Johnson, Democratic in Mime

decisive plurality for Taft.
1t became early evident that Thomas

meager support and that his vote would
not materially affect the result. Little

and courteous telegram of cCngratula-

.WILLIAM Ii. TAFT"
These messages were today exchanged
between Lincoln. Neb., and Cincinnati.
The message from Mr.. Bryan came
while Mr.. Taft was addressing the gen
eral conference of the Women's Foreign
Missionary society of the Methodist
Episcopal church. He received the mes
sage on his return to his residence and
answered it nj once.
In his address to the women, having
been flatterngly introduced by Bishop }.
C. Hartzell, Mr. Taft gave an enthusiast
tic communication of foreign mission
work. His experience i'll the far east.
he said had taught him the value of
this work in uplifting these people, and
he commented upon the elevatlng effect
of Christianity and especially upon the
heather women. In the Philippines, Mr..
Taft asserted the present degree OF sue
cess in civilization and government was
made possible through the influence OF
christianity.
The speaker was warmly and enthu-
siastilally received by the members of
the conference. Each had provided her
self with II small American flag and the
presence of Mr.. Taft was the signal for
n prcttv demonstration. At the end of
his speech, he was overwhelmed with
personal congratulations on his success
at the polls.
Mr.. Taft will tonight be the honored
guest at the twenty annual dinner
of the Commercial club to be held at
the Queen City club. Mr.. Taft has been
a member of this exclusive organization
for fifteen years and his presence tonight
is to be made much of as a local celebra-
ton

as assured to him in the ante-election
forecast of Chairman Hitchcock of the
Republican national committee, or pos
sibly even approximate the 1856 achieved
in 1904 by Mr.. Roosevelt The number
necessary to a choice is 242.
Several States in Doubt.
The overwhelming Republican victory
which will carry Judge Taft into the
white house is not materially affected, SC
far as the chief result is concerned by
the fact that late today the result in
several states remained in doubt.
The uncertainty also extends to sever.
al of the Legislatures, which will choose
United States senators to ill vacancies
caused by expiration of terms, of which
there are thirty-one.
The uncertainty this afternoon may be
summarized as follows:
Colorado-Returns very incomplete
The state is probably Democratic.
Indiana-For Taft, but for governor
Thomas r. Marshall Oem.), is prob,
ably elected over James E. Watson.
ldaho-Almost certainly for Taft
Legislature probably Republican.
NIissouri-In doubt. claimed by both
parties for President. For governor
Hadley (Rep.) is leading Cowherd Dem.
by $4,000 on incomplete returns.
Maryland-In doubt, but probably fol-
Bryan by about 1000, with four counties
incomplete.
Nevada-Probably for Bryan.
Ohio-Taft's plurality estimated al
about $4,000. Ex-Attorney Genera
Harmon CDem.) claimed to be elected
governor, but Republicans dispute. Dem
ocratic gains in Legislature.

the third defeat of his life's ambition to
occupy the white house.
While the election of Taft by a large
majority of the electoral vote was an alb
SOlute certainty today, the result was
Sc close in Maryland and West Virginia
as to center attention upon those states.
The latest returns during the forenoon
indicated that Bryan had carried West
Virginia and Maryland by small plural
tiles.
Bryan Wins Nebraska.
Today's returns showed also that Bry-
an had won over his own state of Ne
braska and that state has elected a
Democratic governor. Although Taft
carried Indiana. Ohio and probably
Montana, all three of those states appear
to have elected Democratic governors.
Judge Harmon apparently winning in
Ohio and Thomas X. Marshall in Indl-
ana.
On the other hand while Bryan car
RED Missouri by safe margin, the cleo
ton of Herbert 5. Hadley, the Repub-
hcan candidate for governor, was indi-
Gated. At IL clock it was certain that
the Republicans will control the next
House.
The Electoral Vote
Returns indicated that Mr. Taft would
have at least 29S electoral votes, and as
the details came in increasing fullness
from the west, it began to look as if the
figure might reach the 325 mark claimed

Reverses Republican Plurality in His
Native State.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4.-Beginning
with a brilliant victory in his home pre-
ciEct, William ]. Bryan reversed a ma
jority of 1000 in this city, carrying his
UancasteD county by a handsome plu-
rality and will win the state by 10000.
His vote was unprecedented, Lancaster
being counted the banner Republican
stronghold of the state.
George L. Sheldon has probably been
defeated by 5000 votes, Ashton c. Shall
lenberger DEM running slightly ahead
of Bryan. The Republican state ticket
probably has been defeated.
Republicans are claiming the Legisla-
ture by slender majority. In the First
district Congressman E. NJ. Pollard en-
countered the Bryan wave and his cleo
ton is in doubt. He lost heavily
throughout the district and Democrats
claim the election of Mcguire by 500
votes.
