TAFT VOTE GROWS.


ties of the state, Taft's plurality con-
tinues to grow, and it is almost certain
that the first nights estimate of 70, 000
will be verified.
Bryan vote in each county exceeds
that for Parker four years ago, and
even Taft has in many instances re-
ceived bigger vote than that accord
ed Roosevelt. The November vote

decrease when the final returns are all

received but one vote. Hisgen's vote

ciaIist vote is not what had been ex-
pected.
