Kentucky Goes Eack to De-

Republican Congress Elected TO
Stand With New Pres
ident.

The election last Tuesday resulted
in almost as great land slide for
the Republicans as four years ago.
The only difference being That in some
States pluraliJes were not so large,
while in Others they We're larger.
New York gave Taft over 100000 ma
jority, which was about $4,000 more
than 1t gave Roosevelt. Governor
Hughes was reelected by 71,0OC major
ity. Taft will nave 800 sure ELECTORAL
votes, and may nave 327. Missouri
seems TO be the only doubtful SiaIe and
it is claimed tua1 rs electolial vote
viii alSogo to Taft, which will bring
tGe total up 20 327. Il IS believed
that the puraiity will lie over l,OOO,-
900. This is a niucn worse defeat iban
Bryan sustained Tue last lime ne ran
for President. Tiae Democrats elected
their State tickei in Indiana, although
tine State will give It's e.ectonal vole
to the Republicans. Il seems Geal
they nave also elected rue Governor IL
OHIO and nave Ie-eiected Governor
Johnson in Minnesota. while upon ufe
other hand, Republicans have elect
ed Governor in Mission and viii gain
a United States SenatOr. The only
bitter thought for tie Republicans Of
Ohio county, is rilat they nave failed
to carry Kentucky Bryan'S plurality
in this State will be about 10000.
Tie Eleventh Congressional district
rolled up The immense majority OF
$4,000 and otrer Republican sections
of the State did well, bul We failed ~
hold our own 10 tne cities and ia tue
western part Of tie Staje. We wal
have three of tie eleven Congross-
men, having lost tie Thnd dis
trict by small plurality, resulting h
the defeat of Dr.. A. ID. James. TIE
majority of Ben Johnson over Dr..
Gaddie being about $500, while AL Of
the counties in this end of tne dis
rtcit roiied up splendid Republican ma
joriTies, Hardin county, and other coun
ties in the upper end of inc diStrhI
came up with Unprecedented majorilies
for the Democrats. In the Fillt Con-
gresslcnal disiriO. where some Repub-
ilcans thought tie Democrats We're
going 10 vote for Taft on accoupi of
me tobacco troubles, tne Democrats re-
ceived the largest majorities winch
have ever been known proving con-
clusively, what many Republicans said
at tue dine, tnat the tobacco war
would not nave any effect on the
presidential e,eciion. There will be
no change in toe United Safes Senate
. and the House of Representatives VIII
have about the same majority for the
Republicans which trey now nave.
Speaker Cannon was reelected by a
large majority, not witnstsnding the
bitter fight when WIS made against
him.

IRENE age of 81 years. About three

One day during the fair, while seate
among a crowd of fair visitors in the
courthouse he became acquainted with
the lady wno three days later became
his bride. she was Mrs Missouri Mer-
rett of this city. Mr. Barlow asked
permission to sit beside ner, and re-
quest was grained. In the conversa-
tiOn tnat ensued Mr.. Barlow asked
Us. ilerrett if she was married and
she replied in the negative. He in
formed ner thar he was also alone in
the world and said J"at probably she
was the woman 10 wanted. A proposal
followed, and Mrs. Merrett asked for
further time, as 1t was So sudden"
Mr.. Barlow called upon per in a day

graphic considerations. 1t is be-
lieved by the managers of both
parties that the result of the cam
paign is likely to hang on the cleo
ton results in the three states
north of the Ohio river-Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio. Taft's greatest
strength will BE- east of the Mis-
sissippi. Bryan's strength will be
west Of the Mississippi. The middle
west will be the fighting ground
and the big delegations which Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio send to the
electoral college are likely to deter
mine the outcome.
Mr.. Bryan will make an effort
to have the platform short. He
has stated his belief that short
declaration of fundamental prin-
eiples would be much more to the
purpose than long and oratorical
periods which nobody ever reads.
"If could have my way" said
Mr.. Bryan recently, "the platform
Woulu De SnOrC enough 10 go OH
a postal card. Let the campaign
speeches do any celebrating that
is needed"
1t Is doubtful, however, whether
Mr.. Bryan will be able to muz-
zle a resolutions committee, or edit
their copy to 800 words.
In any event, the platform will
be slightly more radical than the
republican platform. 1t will EN-.
body the substance of the planks
demanded by La Toilette at Chica-
so and some of those demanded
by Gompers.
Mr.. Bryan will remain at his
home in Lincoln during the con
vention. He will have long-dis
lance telephone at his elbow and
will keep close tab on what hap
pens. During the campaign 1t is
his idea to make two special train
trips. The rest of the time he will
receive delegations at Lincoln.

CORONER AND DEAD
WAGON RUSH MADLY
AFTER DEFuNCT CALF

A dead calf in the river near the
Washington st. bridge this morn
ing caused the police and Coroner
Witter as well as the hurry-up
wagon of the morgue no end of
trouble. 1t was reported to the
police that the calf was dead
human. The police called up the
coroner, who in turn called Smith
& Co.. undertakers, then grabbed
his hat and rushed pell-mell for
the scene of the tragedy. He found
the poor, defunct calf.
Coroner Witter hadn't finished
hopping his perspiring brow when
the morgue wagon reached the
scene. There was some more
hopping up of perspiration over
that clammy corpse of calf. Then
the calf was moored to the shore
and the crematory department or
dered to cart 1t away to the in
cinerator.

Commissioner O'Brien recon-
mended that new bridge be built
and refused to stand sponsor for
the councils action. Funk and
Watkins joined Baldwin in voting
against it.
Councilman Baldwin declared
that $4,000 additional cost of a
new structure at this time would
be cheap in comparison with kill
ing a carload of people. He plead
ed with the council not to take the
step and assume the hazard. Bald
win said the bridge may stand a
few years or only few minutes,
no one was able to tell He said
at was not proper for the council
to fly in the face of the boards
recommendation that a new bridge
should be built.
He declared that several firms
had offered to erect bridge for
approximately $4,000 and were
willing to take chance on the
cost of a foundation. 'If the en-
gineer and the board will recon-
I1clu tudl llC ElCoChl OIL uSeuiC IN
patched, and will assume the re
sponsibiity, then l will be in favor
of carrying out such recommends
tion,' he said.
Mayor Moore was disappointed
with the action of the council. He
said:
"The need Of bridge across the
north channel Is one of the mos'
urgent public necessities confront
ing the city. 1t should be attend
ed to promptly. The money could
be provided by shaving Other
bridge funds"
By authorizing the Mission and
East Olive av. bridges last night
the council practically exhausted

Commissioner O'Brien reported
to the council last night that he,
like others, had failed to secure a
promise from the w. w. P. as to
what it will pay for reconstruction
of new bridges 1t uses. Company
officials gave as their reason that
they will not figure on percent.
age basis, but If the city will sub.
NIT an actual estimate of cost it
will pay certain sum on that.
There is already an agreement
in writing from the company which
was secured when bids for the
new Howard st. bridge was re.
ceived in August, 1906, in which
the company agreed to pay APP
proximately so per cent. The
company, O'Brien stated. absolute
ly refused to make an offer to pay
anything II the work was to be
undertaken by day labor.
