The following news is taken from
Wednesdays Baltimore Sun:
at is the same old Bryan tidal wave,
a tidal wave that has swept William H.
Taft into the the White House, just as
it swept William Mckinly there in 1896
and 1900.
Mr.. Taft's majority in the Electoral
College, it is believed tonight, will be
1856 or more if he gets Ohio and lndianna.
Governor Hughes has been reelected
in New York by plurality of approx
mately $4,000. The House of Represent
atives is safely Republican,. Even "On-
Gle Joe" Cannon, despite the efforts of
Gompers, has snatched himself like Il
brand from the burning, and is reelected
IN the Danville, (Ill.) district by plur-
.lity between 5000 and 900.
The victory Tor the Administration and
he Roosevelt policies is overwhelming.
In word, Mr.. Iait has carried practl-
ally the entire East, from Maine to
diary land, and from the Atlantic W The
.ileyhanies; he has earned PRACTICAL.
ne entire Middle West, although ONO
and lndianna are slow IN reporting HIS
victory in Illinois is SO great that one al
most fails To credit tine reports. Cook
county, in which is Chicago, and in which
Mr.. Bryan firmly believed he had started
political revelation, was carried by
Taft by upward of 10000 plurality. In
the State Taft beat Bryan almost to /.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
nave all gone heavily for Taft. Both the
Dakotas are Republican on the national
ticket. Kansas is Republican by at least
~, 900.
Taft has easily even given the Demo-
cratic nominee a close contest i'll the
border State of Kentuckey. Indeed, 50
easily has the Republican candidate walk
ed in that one wonders why the Republi-
cans were so badly scared, nearly work
ing Mr.. Taft and the White House ste
nographer to death, and generally bend
ing every energy to make the victory so
emphatic.
The result in Ohio was most emphatic.
Although the early returns indicated the
State might be in doubt, the latest esti-
mates are that Taft has carried it by
plurality of anywhere from 1000 up
ward. Cleveland, CINCINNATI, Toledo and
Dayton, all labor centers, gave a very
heavy vote for MIR. Taft.
Some of the pluralities for Taft are
enormous. Maine gives him 81, 900; Yer
mont lS, 900; Massachusetts 100, 900; New
Hampshire ~, 900; Wisconsin rs, 600; Mich
igan lOo, 900; Illinois 200, 600; Pennsylva-
MIA $50, 900. The Pennsylvania figures
are furnished by Senator Penrose.
There haualso been an increase in the
Republican vote in the Southern States.
Twenty thousand more men voted for
Taft in Florida than for Roosevelt four
years before. Virginia's plurality for
Bryan fell to 5000, and the Republicans
have gained member of Congress.
There has also been considerable gain
in the Republican vote in Tennessee,
Georgia and North Carolina.
New Jersey, like New York, has in
creased its Republican plurality. Itgave
80, 600 for Roosevelt in 1904; Taft carries
it by more than was given for Roosevelt.
Complete returns show that Taft car.
ried Baltimore city by l,759 plurality.
The figures show that the claims of the
Bryan men that the labor vote would be
cast almost solidly for the Democratic
candidate did uot materialize. In the
wards where it had been expected the
workingmen would rally to the support
of Mr.. Bryan, regardless of party, they
failed to rally, and, instead, Mr.. Taft
got his full share of the labor vote.
The Maryland delegation in the next
Congress will probably consist of three
Democrats and three Republicans, as at
present. The Democrats gain the First
district, electing Covington, but lose the
Third, where Kronmiller defeats Wolf
Talbot is successful in the Second dis
trict, Gill in the Fourth, Mudd in the
Fifth and Pearre's success in the Sixth
by greatly reduced plurality is also in
dicated"
