The Republican national and state
tickets have gained a complete VIC
tory IN Illinois although the ~pluralities
will probably fall short of those OBJ
tanned by the party in the Roosevelt
campaign of 1904. Taft has carried
the state by approximately 10000
votes, although it will be sometime

lican candidate for governor, ran for

More complete returns indicate that
Taft's plurality in Iowa will. pass the
10000 mark. The estimate is based
on practically complete returns from
two-thirds of the counties of the state.
and it will probably be sustained by
complete returns later. This plural
ity of 10000 is 5000 more than was
given to Mckinley in 1896. and is
more than a normal Republican plu-
rality.

INDIANA.
A radical change In Indiana's rep.

feature of the election. The la est un-
official returns complete give the
Democratic party eleven members n

of seven members for the Democrats
Taft carried the state for president by

The Free Press, with Wayne, Glad
