Portland. Me-. Nov. Maine has
returned its usual large majority for
the Republican candidate, although
Mr.. Tafts vote did not reach the
36.79i majority polled by Mr.. Roose-
velt In 1904. No state election was
held, as Maine chose a Republican

be James Schoolcraf, sherman. Re
publican, of New York.
This is the verdict returned by the
majority of the $1,000 900 voters OF
the United States. The Republican
candidate has repeated Mr.. Roose
velt's feat of carrying every North
ern state. It is probable that Taft
will have 311 votes in the electoral
college, while William jennings
Bryan, for the third time defeated in
his efforts to be elected to the high
est Office in the United States, will
have 172.
New York states 80 electoral votes
will be cast for Taft and Sherman.
Greater New York has gone Repub-
lican, indCrsing both Taf; and
Hughes.
Reports from all parts OF the state
Indicate that the vote was heavy, the
efforts of both gubernatorial candi-
dates to bring out the ballots being
rewarded with success. Both the
old parties polled full votes, their
strength not being seriously affected
by the other minor parties.
M,t of the great cities of the
country have gone Republican. in

His majority in New York state may
reach 100000. he carried Ohio by
nearly 100000 and Illinois by 1885,
900.
Indiana was extremely close, the
majority there for the head Of the
ticket ranging from 5000 to $4,000.
The returns indicate that the far
Western noun ain states of Colorado
aud Idaho have also given Taft their
electoral votes.
Missouri has gone for Bryan, as
was expected. Hadley, the Repubi-
can candidate for governor. made a
hard fight, but could not overcome
the normal Democrat .ic majority The
indications are that Senator Stone
has succeeded in the primary cleo
tlon. thus defeating the ambition Of
Governor Folk to become United

Iowa has gone overwhelmingly for

duced from that given to Roosevelt

returns from the primaries indicate
that Governor Cummins received a
majority of the Republican vote and
will therefore be indicated as the
choice OF the legislature for United

William b. Allison.

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE
Toft's Plurality Mainly Due 10
Democratic Losses in City
and In Brooklyn.

New York. Nov. 4.--As the result
OF yesterdays election New York
states SO electoral votes will be cast
for William II. Taft and James s.
Sherman. Both the Republican Ma
tional and state tickets are victori-
Gus. Charles Il. Hughes being re-
elected governor.
Taft has won by a tremendous piu-
rality and Hughes by good, safe
margin. Tafts plurality may reach
100000, and he has done the sur
prising thing OF carrying Greater
New York by small figure. Gov
ernor Hughes plurality now Is esti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000. but 1t
may be greater. Shearn, the Hearst
candidate for governor, polled be-
tween 5000 and $4,000 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 Taft's vote upstate
fell OFF heavily from that received
by Roosevelt in 1904, 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. II 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 ]. G..
Phelps Stokes and Robert Hunter
would have more than 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.

Taft and Labor

When on the bench Judge Taft said:
That employees have a right to form
labor unions.
That such unions are a benefit to la
Dor and TO the public.
That they have the right to join with
other unions.
That the accumulation of fund to
aid in a strike is right.
That employees have right to strike
whenever any Of the terms Of their
employment are unsatisfactory,
Mr. Gompers says Judge Taft is OPP
posed to organized labor. Mr.. Com
pers has done lot of talking in his
time and has been a very prolific writ
er, but In all he has said or in all he
has written he has never given organ
lzed labor a more unqualified indorse-
ment than Judge Taft gave when on
the bench.

Anti-iniunctions

Attorney General Wade II, Ellis Of
Ohio, who was a member of the com-
mittee OH resolutions of the Republican
national convention, makes the follow.
Ing reply to the criticisms of the plat
form made by w. J. Bryan. The at
torney general says in part:
The charge made by Mr.. Bryan that
the Republican declaration with re-
spect to the use of the writ of injunc
tion was designed to deceive the la
boring man Is unworthy of a candi-
date for president, and the further
charge that this plank merely declares
the existing law and will give no relief
In those cases in which there has been
an abuse or discretion or the apprehen.
sion of 1t is unworthy of any lawyer
who has examined the question.
THE anti-injunction resolution is a
frank, clear statement of the Republic
an party's position on a question on
which others have been attempting to
deceive labor. The sole basis of any
rational complaint as to the issuance
of injunctiOns In labor cases has been
the use of the writ without notice and
the long delays in some instances which
have interviewed before a hearing Of
the case.
The present statute does not require
any notice at all before the granting of
q temporary order, and 1t is entirely
within the discretion of the court 10
postpone to any time the judge may
see fit the hearing upon the question of
an injunction. The Republican plank
simply declares that notice shall al
ways be given unless an irreparable
injury will result from delay, and in
that case there shall be a speedy hear
ing provided. 1t will meet the approval
Of every right thinking man, whether
an employer or an employee"

that the shops had closed down
and he had nothing to do.
After walking the streets for
a few weeks an finding no work
he went to the bank and DIRE W
out $75, his savings that he had
laid up and kissed his wife and
little ones good bye and started
out to find work. He went to Gin
cinnati and searched in vain for
work. Soon he received a letter
from his wife to come home,
that they were out of money and
they C .uld get nothing to eat.
He came back and placed mort
gage on the little home and got a
few hundred dollars and leaving
a part of that sum with his fami-
ly started out and searched in
vain again for work. Soon the
officers came along and forclosed
the mortgaged and the little
home was sold for debt and the
wife and children turned out in
the cold without shelter while
he wandered from place to place
with the two millions of other
idle men seeking employment
and eating at free-soup houses.
This man voted for achange and
he got it. Now will Ue do like
wise Oh will we vote TO keep the
party in power that can success
fully manage the great financial
affairs of our land and escape

LABOR WORLD FOR TAFT.

In its advocacy of Mr.. Taft. 1t charac-
teriZes him "a true friend of labor and

alternating from him the labor world.
1t says: That Secretary Taft is true
friend of labor is certain, and all the
untrue, ungenerous. vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing TO be the friend of the
wage worker Organized labor cannot
afford to have itself split up into fac
tions on this political issue. That Pres
ident Gompers is wrong In forcing this
most ominous fight is certain, and In
telligent wage workers will certainly

Is there any spot In these United

and forgotten and the Fourth of July
Il meaningless date on the calendar?
One Of the most ridiculous of these
prophecies was contained in speech
Mr.. Bryan made in support of Judge
Parker during the campaign of 1904,
when he attacked President Roosevelt
bitterly. a bis prophecy had 1t that
military deSpotism was sure to follow
the decrease in the size Of the standing
army. In this speech Mr. Bryan also
emphasized the fact that he was then
and always would be a firm believer In
