1000 MAJORITY FOR CAMERON.
Gives Smith Chase in COChiSe, Graham
 and GiIa Counties.

Definite information was received this morning announcing the election of Ralph Cameron over Mark Smith by a majority of 1000 votes. Com plete returns have not yet been re- ceived, but Cameron's election is now certain, as he has such a substantial lead that it will be impossible for Smith to catch up. Graham county majority for Smith. will be slightly less than two years ago, being esti- mated now at about 250. Gila county, which has always gone strong for Smith, vii give Smith only a small majority, although nearly all of the democratic candidates on the county ticket were elected.
 Cochise county, which has always given Smith 800 majority, is the greatest surprise in the territory, his majority being cut down to about 100. Maricopa county also gave Smith lead of about 100. It is re- ported that d change took place in Pima county, Smith having carried it by small ma ajority. It past elections it has gone against Smith. Cameron carried the northern counties heavier than any republican candidate has for years.
 This is the first time that Mark Smith has been defeated in eighteen wears.

Clifton Precinct Officers.

The republican nominees for u e precinct offices of Clifton were both elected, John D. Patty being elected by an overwhelming majority and H. Moder receiving a small majority. The race for justice of the peace was the closest that has taken place for many years and to many the result was surprise. The point in favor of the republican candidates was the fact that Clifton went republican. The following is the vote: For justice of the peace-Carlton 3O6: Moder 337. For constable-Nicks 234: Patty 423.
 MT. Patty has been chief duputy under Sheriff Anderson the past two years and his record as clean officer seems to have been well appreciated by the excellent vote which he re- ceived for consta ble The Clifton appointment by Sheriff Anderson is among the best in Graham county today

FOR the third time William Jen- nings Bryan will have to take back seat and be quiet for another four years. Taft, as had been predicted by the leading newspapers of the United States, carried ali of the states that were booked for him and also cleaned up practically all of the doubtful ones. By their votes the people of the United States have eX- pressed their approval of the repub- lican administration, and we are to continue our rapid pace of advance ment. Now that it is over, we want to see business pick up and d speedy recovery of the financial situation. At least the United States is again on d settled basis for four years and everybody can go to work with re- newed energy. There will be no changes in governmental affairs, eX- cept for the better, hence we all have reason to feel good.

THE vote of Clifton was one of the greatest surprises in the county due to the fact that it went republican. Cameron, republican delegate for congress, carried this precinct by four votes and otherwise the republi- cans led the democrats. It had been predicted by many that Ralph Cam eron would receive heavy vote in this precinct, but few people thought that he would lead Smith. The change is due somewhat to the new people who have moved into this dis trict during the past two years.

THE election is over, the light Is finished, and the republicans have received considerably the worst of the deal in the way of county offices. The only consolation for the rcpubll- cans is the excellent showing made in the county, as the majorities have been cut down from the top of the ticket to the bottom. Now that it is all over the best of feeling prevails and we are all friends again for an- other two years. There is one thing certain about this county and that is the fact that both the democrats and republicans have become independ- ent in casting their ballots and in the future it is going to be toss up.

FROM returns thus received and estimated returns from small pre- cincts not yet heard from, it is req sonablv certain that Mark Smiths majority in Graham county will not reach 275, against 306 two years ago. This would indicate that for some reason Smith. has been gradually losing out all oyer Graham.

THE hardest fight ever made against a republican candidate in Clifton was made against Pap Anderson this election, but in spite of ir all he came out with sixty-two votes to the good. His election, however, is due to the independent vote. The democrats made a clean fight and while they did not win, they took their defeat with good grace.

 With eighteen counties still to hear from, the indications are that Taft has carried Pennsylvania by than 300,0 ,0OO. The returns received show d considerable falling off in every county with the exception of two. A heavy vote was boiled throughout. due principally to the many warm contests in the legiSla- tive districts. The republicans hold their own in the congressional dis tr cts, If they do not increase th51r representation.
 Tdft'S plurality in Connecticut will exceed 25,OO0. Lilley, the republican governor, will have over l5,000 plural lty oyer Robertson, democrat.

 Notwithstanding the meagerness of the early returns from Ohio they seemed to give d fair indication of the result, although positive state ment of plurality was impOSsib ble. All sections of the state, both ciCy and county, were included in the first re- turns. and the same ratio continued would give d plurality for Taft for president in his home state of any where from lOD.U)J up. Cleveland. Cincinnati, Toledo aud Dayton are included in the first reports, and in all the Taft vote was very heavy.

is to the effect that 8, 900, 900 people have
banished the saloon in the last year and
that now 40 per cent of the people of

tough. He then scrapes it together
and puts it on piece Of board to cool

he begins to pull out the tough sub
