Tonight's returns were watched with
a great deal of interest, not in the be-
lief that they could have any possible
effect upon the national result, but be-
cause of local interest. The heavy vote
in Ohio made figures extraordinarily
late owing to the immense size Of the

Colorado early in the day shifted
from the doubtful column to the Bry-

choose a successor to Senator Teller
also is apparently Democratic.
Mr.. Taft's phenomonally large vote
of New York state continues to attract
attention. 1t is taken by the Republi-

indicating that the Empire state with
its 80 electoral votes, can no longer be
regarded as debatable ground IN q
