Citizen received a special from San
joval county, pacing the Andrews
majority at 500. and stating that
every precinct return added to the
size.
A special to The citizen at 2:1s
from Mora county placed Andrews
majority there at 200. which is con-
sefvat.ve.
majority of over 500 votes and
elected the entire Republican county
and Legislative ticket.
Union county at noon today, was
placed in the Andrews column with q
majority OF $50. A telephone mes
sage from Torrance county said that
on the unofficial returns Andrews had
majority of 100 which would likely
be larger.
Probably the greatest surprise the
Democrats received, was the small
majority for their candidate as COM
pared with two years ago in Roose-
welt county. That county gave a ma
jority for Larrazolo yesterday of
about 900.
Dona Ana county gave the Repub-
lican nominee a majority of 1877
OSiAoA NOuHtg tdDuldtGu at
$50 majority for Andrews. This ma
jority In that county. will likely be
larger when the official returns are
all in.
The first reports today were that
ColfaX county had gone Republican
only by few votes. Later, however.
the returns showed that Andrews was
steadily gaining.
II Will likely be some time tomor-
row before enough of the returns are
in to give close estimate on what
Mr.. Andrews majority will be, but
that he has been elected is certain
and his majority will be sufficiently
large to be decisive.
The Democrats today made all sorts
of wild claims but they had no fig
ures on which to base their estimates.
In Bernalillo county, San Miguel
county. and In fact, In nearly every
county where the Democrats had a
ticket up, they traded anything and
everything in an effort to help Lar
razolo. Democratic leaders prepared
fake kilograms from New York Ohio.
Illinois and other states. saying that
Bryan was sweeping the country and
used them 70 influence voters. De-
spite these tricky tactics. the returns
today show that Andrews was elect
ed by a safe majority and that the
people want Andrews and statehood
against the field.

Chicago. Nov 4.-Attorneys repre-

amazed at the answer which has been

The answer was drawn by a young

w. II. Andrews, the Republican
nominee for delegate to Congress was
reelected at yesterdays election by a
majority very conservatively estimat-
ed at about 1000 but which will
probably be larger.
This estimate is based upon the
returns, official and unofficial, which
were received here today.
Enough official returns were re-
ceived from the eastern counties.
where the Democrats hoped for big
majorlties. to show that the majori-
ties were not nearly so great as esti-
mated by the Democratic leaders.
On the other hand, Mr.. Andrews
received good majorities In the Re-
publican counties.
1t is believed that wnen the returns
are all In the estimate OF today will
be materially Increased.
For instance. Mr.. Andrews carried
San Miguel county by a majority con-
ceded to be 600 at noon today and
which continues to grow as the re-
turns come in. This is the home
county OF Larrazolo.
Allowing the Democratic candidate
plenty of latitude, and making the
Republican matorities more than con-
servative. Mr.. Andrews stands elect
ed by some 800 votes or more, as
shown by the table above. Berna-
lillo county, in two precincts yet 10
be heard from. viii undoubtedly raise
the majority above 1000 votes.
Specials to The Citizen this after
noon from reliable correspondents in
both Taos and Rio Arriba counties
indicate that the majorities in these
counties will be larger than those
tabulated. However, the majorities
in each Of these two counties, are
only estimated at 200 and these fig-
ures are conceded 10 be more than
conservative
A special TO The Citizen from Nc
Kinley county today, conceded that
county 10 Mr.. Andrews by 15O votes
on unofficial returns from all pre-
cincts.
In the eastern counties, where the
Democrats had anticipated big Lar
razolo vote, there was considerable
apathy on the part OF the Democratic
voters and enthusiasm and hard work
on the part Of the Republicans.
A scattered but growing Socialist
vote estimated today at 1000 or bet
ter, for the entire territory. also fig
ured IN the election. The Socialist
votes went into the ballot box stra ght
and took strength from Larrazolo.
The strong Republican counties
rolled up the usual maiorities for tho
delegate. Socorro county returns are
not all in. but the majority for An
drews there is larger than the estl-
mate in the above table. Valencia
county Is estimated at 1900 votes
ard enough returns are In 10 indicate
that the estimate is very near cor

New York, Nov. William How

seventh president Of the United

Of one Of the most remarkable cam
paigns in the history of the country.
William Jennings Bryan of Ne
braska, Democratic candidate for the
presidency, went down to the third
defeat of his life ambition to occupy
the White House.
Returns today indicate that Taft
will have 29S electoral votes and pos

passed the most sanguine hope #
the Republicans, was Tafts carrying
the city OF Greater New York by a
plurality OF 1855. His plurality in
New York state will exceed Roose-
velt's big plurality in 1904.
Governor Hughes was rc-elected by
a plurality estimated today at above
$1,000 over the vote cast for his
Democratic opponent. Lieutenant

The precise figures are subject to
change, however.
New England. New York, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania rallied to Taft
with notable majorities. Maryland

placed In the Bryan column. Colorado

column and subject to counter claims.
Nebraska, however, is decisively

Among the more significant results
OF the election were the reelection
