Fairview, Lincoln, Nov. 4.--Bryan
carried his precinct, LOG to So for
Taft.


Fairview, Lincoln, Neb, Nov A.
William ]. Bryan received the earli-
est election bulletins in his private
Office at Fairview, in company with
Mrs. Bryan and Private Secretary
Rose. His two daughters, Mrs. Ruth
Leayitt and Miss Grace Bryan, and
his son, William Jr., were on the
front porch, where a battery of tele-
graph instruments and operators
took care of the returns. Governor
w. S. Jennings, of Florida, cousin
of Mr. Bryan, was member of the
group. A small group of friends and
newspaper men were present.
Mr.. Bryan joined the porch party
after a time and heard the figures
read as they were taken from the
wires. He scanned the New York
returns closely, and the failure of
the greater city to give him larger
majority was plainly disappointing
to the candidate.
| do not desire to discuss the
result of the election at the present
time, said Mr.. Bryan after the re-
turns were received here. 'At a
later date | shall probably have
something TO say, but now l must
beg to be excused"

CHAMBER BY A LARGE
MAJORITY.
Next Legislature VIII BE Republican,
Which viii Choose Successor
to Senator Platt.

New York. Nov. As the result
of yesterdays election New York
states SO electoral votes will be cast
for William H. Taft and James S.
Sherman. Both the Republican Ma
uonal and state tickets are victori-
Gus, Charles f. Hughes being re-
elected governor.
Taft has won by a tremendous plu-
rality and Hughes by good safe
margin. Taft's plurality may reach
100000, and he has done the sur
prising thing of carrying Greater
New York by a small figure. Gov
ernor Hughes plurality now is esti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000, but it
may be greater. Shearn, the Hearst
candidate for governor. polled be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 in Greater
New York.
Taft's great plurality was due al
most wholly to Democratic losses in
New York and Brooklyn The fig
ures show that Tafts vote upstate
fell off heavily from that received
by Roosevelt in 1894, but Bryan's
vote in New York and other counties
making up the greater city slumped
heavily from Parker's, and even
from his own vote in 1900.
There was great disappointment
in the local candidates of the Social
list party 1t had been looked on as
an assured thing that Morris Hill
quit would be returned to Congress
as the Socialist party candidate in
the Ninth District, and that j. G..
Phelps Stokes and Robert Hunter
would have more than a fighting
chance of election as assemblymen
for the Eighth and Sixth districts.
The next legislature will be Re-
publican in both branches, insuring
a Republican successor to Senator
Thomas c. Plat, who will leave the
senate in March.
