Judge Taft, resting in Cincinnati, eX-
pressed himself yesterday as being more
confident of his election than ever. He
said Ohio, West Virginia Maryland and
Delaware are safely republican, and Ken
lucky is 'debatable.' He believed the
seed had been sown in Kentucky for a
republican victory in 1912, if not this
year.

UTAH REPUBLICAN
BY Bic MAJORITY
The Entire State Ticket is Elected
and Taft and Sherman Electors
Chosen by the Opponents
of Democracy.

Salt Lake City-The state OF Utah
lined up in the Republican column on
Tuesday, the Taft electors having a
plurality of 10000 to $4,000, estimated,
while William Spry was elected gov
ernor, having received $4,000 more
votes than Knight, according to latest
figures The legislature will be al
most solidly Republican, insuring the
return of Reed Smoot to the senate.
Joseph Howell was returned to con-
gress by a handsome majority, while
the entire state ticket has been
elected.
A statement issued by William
Spry, governor-elect. Is as follows:
Il am very well satisfied with the
result. 1t is an evidence that the
people are satisfied to continue the
era of prosperity which they have en-
ioyed under Republican administra
lions.
1T is also gratifying that so many
Republican members of the American
party have returned to their former
affiliations. This is an evidence OF
the beginning of the end for that
party.

HUGHES WINS IN
NEW YORK STATE
Opposition to Race Track and Other
Interests Cuts Down Vote, But
the Governor Has Been
Reelected.

New York.-The state OF New York
has again registered its verdict in ia
yor of the Republican party and in the
election on Tuesday gave plurality
TOR William III. Taft for president of
the United States which may be in
excess of $4,000 votes. The deter
mined opposition of the race track and
other interests which he had antag-
onized during his term of governor
ship cut into the vote of Governor
Hughes and his majority will be about
10000.
AT one time during the receipt of
the returns there was swing for
Chanler which made his friends jubi-
liant and confident that he had sue
oeeded in winning the governorship
ly small plurality, Later returns,
however. wiped out this and made it
clear that Governor Hughes would be
reelected by safe majority. Up
state Judge Taft in many instances
ran ahead of the great vote of Presi-
dent Roosevelt four years ago.
