IN KENTUCKY
eryan's Plurality Upward Of 1900.
Congressional Delegation.

Louisville. KY, Nov. 4.-Bryan's
plurality in Kentucky of 10000; nine
and possibly ten Democratic con
gressmen elected--a Republican loss
of two seats--this is the. story of the
election in Kentucky at the close of
a day which was marked by the poll
ing of the largest vote in the history
of the state. The ratio of gains has
been consistent throughout the state,
and Mr.. Bryan has undoubtedly add,
ed another thousand to Parker's plur
ality of 1888. In the Fifth district
(Louisville) Taft was victorious by a
plurality of 478. Sufficient returns
have been received to indicate with
certainty the election of Democrats
to congress in all of Kentucky's II
districts except the Ninth and Elev.
enth The Eleventh is solidly Repub-
lican and the Ninth is in doubt. The
figures on the electoral vote indicate
q bare possibility that Taft will Sc
cure one of Kentucky's ballots in the
electoral college.

Illinois.

Chicago, Nov. 4-Returns show
conclusively that Taft has carried the
state by from 10000 to 175,OOO. De-
neen. the Republican candidate for
governor, was elected by a plurality
estimated at from 10000 to $4,000.
The next Legislature, which is to
choose a successor to United States
Senator Albert j. Hopkins, will be
composed of So Republicans and "a
Democrats in the senate and 215 Re-
publicans and 176 Democrats in the

from Illinois will be composed of 19
Republicans and six Democrats. Adlai
Stevenson, former vice president of
the United States and Democratic
candidate for governor, carried Cook

heavily in the rural districts.

Trenton N. j., Nov. 4.-Revlsed re-
turns indicate that Mr.. Taft's plural
ity in New Jersey will be between
$4,000 and $4,000 In all the counties
outside of Essex and Hudson the vote
did not vary greatly from the plural
ity given Mr.. Roosevelt in 1904, when
he carried the state by 1000 Roose-
velts plurality of $4,000 in Essex
county was expected to be cut down
to about 18 900 for Taft, In Hudson
Parkers plurality of 1900 was in
creased to about 1000 for Bryan. The
Republicans elect seven of the ten
congressman and the Democrats two

Indiana.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. Returns
from the election in Indiana indicate
that William H. Taft has carried the
state by from 5000 to $4,000 plural
ity. Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic
candidate for governor, is leading his
Republican opponent, James E. Wat
son, by about 5000 votes. The Re
publican state committee claim the
votes in the rural districts will over
come this lead. Indications are that
the Democrats have gained one and
possibly more congressman from In
diana. Congressman Jesse Overstrest
(R.) of the Seventh district is run
ming a close race with his Democratic
opponent, Charles A. Korbly. The
legislature is still in doubt. The de-
feat of the Marion county Republican
ticket will probably also carry down
with it eight representatives from
the county and may give the legisla-
ture to the Democrats.

This is tremendous falling off from

Shall the Democratic
Party Die?
BYLEO.

"OOh oSO W viz ANN"
World. 1t was the text of an ed
itorial in that able Democratic
paper. It puzzled us not a little
to know why the editor penned
that article at this time. What
was the motive?
The New York World was, un-
til the Denver convention, a
staunch anti-Bryan paper. 1t
said, time and again, that in case
Bryan should be nominated at
Denver defeat was sure to fol-
low. The paper had a map of
the United States printed on its
pages showing how small frac-
tion of the country Bryan could
carry, leaving him hardly any,
thing more than the Solid South.
That map was published repeat
edly in the World, and copied by
other papers, up to the Denver
convention. When that conven-
ton nominated the peerless"
almost unanimously, the World
changed it's tune. 1t no longer
denounced Bryan, predicted his
defeat, or published the map;
but began to uphold Bryan and
to denounce Roosevelt. And all
through the campaign has been
apro-Bryan paper. Imagine our
surprise when a week ago the
paper published that remarkable
editorial, "Shall the Democratic
party die?"
What was to kill the old party?
Was the editor anticipating the
defeat of Bryan, and viewing
that calamity as the death SEN
tence of the old party? Oh, no,
for the editor had witnessed the
defeat of Bryan twice before,
and had seen the Democratic par
ty alive and kicking after each
shock. Surely, one more defeat
will not prove fatal to the party.
Did he see way down in his
inner consciousness the election
of his friend Bryan and conclude
that such a stroke of prosperity
would surely kill the Democratic
party? Perhaps it was so tho't
of. And come to think of it SER
iously there is ground for fear
that Bryan in the White House
for four years would try Democ-
racy to the utmost. Perhaps the
Worlds editor saw what havoc
would follow Bryan's election,
and it made him to ask, Shall
the Democratic party die?'
If that was the trouble in the
editors mind, he is now relieved.
Oh, no, the election of Col. Bry-
an to the presidency will never
cause the death of the Democra-
tic party.
The Democratic party is not
going to die soon, perhaps not at
all. It has survived many de-
feats, and it can stand a few
more, and probably win whole
some victories in the future un-
der a more conservative leader
ship. Col. Bryan is a great ora
tor, but an Indifferent leader; he
is an agitator. but not an admin
istrator. Mere oratory is a poor
equipment for the presidency.
The country has done wisely in
electing a man of deeds rather.
than a man of words.

before the election, but in the
firm belief that William Howard

ty Of the American people. He

The remains of Charles Aubrey, who
disappeared from his home near
Browning, Mont, several days ago,
were found Friday about 300 yards
from the house. His head had been
badly beaten with some blunt instru-
ment. 1t was known that he received
$1,000 recently and robbery is believed
to have been the cause of the crime.
An automobile accident occurred
Sunday afternoon four miles from AL
hambra, Mont, in which the machine
of Henry M. Parchen of Helena was
totally destroyed and four persons in
jured. Mrs. J. G. Sanders of Butte
received a severe cut across the fore
head and her two daughters and Mrs.
D. A. Cheul of Pasadena, Cal, were
slightly injured.
Forest fires have broken out anew
in the Little Belt reserve of central
Montana, and much valuable timber is
being destroyed. More than 1900 acres
have been burned over, and the large
force of forest reserve men is appar-
emily helpless in their efforts to con-
troll it. The fire started a week ago.
bua was apparently subdued, only to
break out again. Assistance is being
sent from Great Falls and from nearby
places.
