New Hampshire.
Concord n. H., Nov. 4.-Up to mid
night only about two-fifths of the
vote OF New Hampshire had been
counted and returned. but the indica-
tons were that Taft had carried the
state by about 10000 plurality.
Henry b. Quinby, Republican candi-
date for governor, will probably have
1000 plurality, but as majority Is
required 10 elect. the vote of the
minor parties may cut an appreciable
figure in determining the result.
The legislature will be strongly Re.
publican in both houses and the two
Republican congressman were re-
elected
Oklahoma.
Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 4.-Oklahoma
has continued loyal to the Democratic
party but the majority has been re-
duced materially and Bryan's lead Is
estimated at only $4,000 The five
members of congress, four Democrats
and one Republican, have been re-
elected. The legislature is two-thirds
| Democratic, insuring their reelection
of United States Senator Thomas P.
Gore. the blind senator.
Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov 4.-William II. Taft
and Eben S. Draper, Republican can
didate for governor, carried Massa-
chusetts yesterday. the former by
about 100000 and the latter by about
10000. in the light Of returns from
| nearly three-quarters of the state. On
i the same returns 1t was evident that
the Massachusetts congressional dele,
| cation remained unchanged, IL Re-
publicans and three Democrats.
The Republicans also elected their
state ticket and the usual majority
of members of both branches OF the
legislature
Taft ran far ahead of Draper In
nearly every city and town in the
state, and just missed carrying Bos-
| ton over Bryan, the margin in the
capitol between the two principal
| candidates being 3S7 votes, in a total
of $4,000. 1t was the closest presi-
Dental contest in Boston since 1896,
when Mckinley won the city. James
H. Valley, the Democratic candidate
for governor, ran well ahead of Bryan
in the state. and defeated Draper in
Boston by over 10000
Missouri.
St. Louis, Nov 4-Missouri has
given its electoral votes to William
j. Bryan by plurality estimated at
10000 to $4,000. The governorship ia
in doubt. though William S. Cowherd,
| (Dem.) is leading Herbert S. Hadley
| (Rep), on the early returns. Cowherd,
however. is running behind Bryan,
and there Is possibility that he Is
| defeated.
Returns from the state are coming
\ in exceedingly slow. Scattering re-
turns from about one-rhird of the
counties outside of st. Louis give
Bryan 34,737, and Taft 26.371. This,
however, is but one-tenth Of the vote
/ of the state.
AT midnight it Is impossible to
make an estimate on the outcome of
the senatorial situation in the Demo.
crate party. Returns give William
j. Stone 6,915, and Joseph w. Folk
1894.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 4.-That Baltimore
city is Taft's by about LOO, that the
Democrats have elected Gill, Talbot
and Coyington to congress, and ths
| Republicans Mudd ana Kronmiller. rs
