indiana SPLITS ON
STATE AND NATION
Taft Gets Electoral Vote. but
Democrats Elect Governor.

indianapolis, Nov 5.-For the first
time since Thomas A. Hendricks was
elected governor on the Democratic
state ticket and U. S. Grant received
the electoral vote of the state for the
Republican national ticket Indiana has
given plurality to the Republican
candidate for president and at the
same time elected the Democratic
candidate for governor. According to
the latest estimate Mr.. Taft received
plurality of about $4,000 and Thorn
as R. Marshall was victorious over
James e. Watson, Republican candi-
date for governor, by about 5000.
The congressional representation
from this state will probably be seven
Democrats and six Republicans.
The legislature is in doubt. Marion
county, with it's twelve members of
the legislature, went heavily Demo-
cratic for the county ticket and car
ried down with it the Republican leg
islative candidates and possibly Con-
gresham Jesse Overstreet. One of
the Republican leaders conceded that
the lawmaking body is very close, but
he adhered to the opinion that the
lead the Republicans have in the sew
cnteen holdover senators will save it
to the Republicans on joint ballot and
insure the reelection of Senator
James A. Hemenway.

TAFT HAS NEARLY
100000 PLURALITY
Hughes Majority in New York
State About 10000.

New York. Nov. 5.-The pluralities
of Taft for president and Hughes for
governor in New York state have not
been materially changed by more
complete returns. With eighty out Of
1863 districts missing, Taft's plurality
has been raised to 199,5S5, an increase
of about 1900 from the earlier esti-
mate, and with ninety-seven districts
missing and thirty-fve estimated
Hughes plurality for governor has
been reduced to 59,S1a
Late returns leave no doubt upon
the election of the full Republican
state ticket by substantial pluralities
all along the line.
While Taft carried New York city
by plurality of over $4,000 Chanler
carried the city by about $4,000 and
Tamnany Hall put in office all of it's
important local candidates.

DEMOCRATIC ON THE
PRESIDENTIAL TICKET
But Missouri Elects a Repub-
|ican Governor.

st. Louis, Nov. 5.-An almost COM
plete reversal of indicated results in
Missouri came when the returns from
the country precincts and the congest-
ed wards of the city came in Nation
ally the state is in doubt, with the
chances slightly in favor of Bryan.
His margin over Taft, however, is so
slender that few counties may wipe
it out.
There is little doubt but that Attor-
ney General Herbert S. Hadley has de-
feated his Democratic opponent, Con-
gresham William G. Cowherd, for the
governorship. With ninety-six coun-
ties heard from more or less complete
ly Hadley had a plurality of close to
10000, the vote in the state having
failed to disturb the margin of $500
with which he left st. Louis. This,
too, despite the fact that Kansas City
gave Cowherd plurality in excess of
5000.
The senatorial race took on a new
aspect also when it became apparent
that the Republicans had a chance to
carry the legislature. If this has hap
pened either Lieutenant Governor Nc
Kinley, Richard G. Kerens or John
Kennish will be elected United States
senator. If the body remains Demo
cratic Senator Stone will probably sue
ceed himself, tic returns showing that
he has a good lead over Folk for the
Democratic nomination.

BRYAN GETS HOME STATE

Lincoln, Neb., Nov 5.-Beginning
with a brilliant victory in his home
precinct, William ]. Bryan reversed a
majority of 1000 in this city, carrying
this Oancaster) county by a hand
some plurality and will win the state
by 10000. His vote was unprece-
dented, Lancaster being counted the
banner Republican stronghold of the
state.
George l.. Sheldon was defeated for
governor by S,OOO Ashton G. Shallen-
berger, Democrat, running slightly
ahead of Bryan.
Republicans are claiming the legis-
lature by slender majorities. In the
First district Congressman d. NJ. Pol

his election is in doubt. He lost heav-
lily throughout the district and Demo

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-From in
complete returns it is estimated that
Taft has carried California by plu-
rality of $4,000 and that seven out of
eight and possibly all of the Repub-
lican congressman have been elected.
The indications are that the Repub-
licans have elected sixteen senators
and fifty-four assemblymen, which,
with the thirteen hold over senators,
will give a majority of forty-six on

for

William Fl. Taft was sitting in the
library of his temporary home, the G..
p. Taft residence, When he gave eX-
preston to the above declaration.
Going more into detail as to the re-
turns he added:
''In my own state and Indiana the
result was very much affected by the
local liquor questions and it is very
difficult to figure out just how it oper-
ated. The sweeping victory in New
York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Connecticut is especially gratifying to

SEVERAL OTHERS SPLIT VOTE
Favor Taft for President, but Elect
Democratic Governors.

i New York, Nov. 5.-While the elec-
ton of William H. Taft as president
Eby large majority of the electoral
vote is an absolute certainty, the re-
suit is so close in Maryland and West
Virginia as to center attention upon
those states. The latest returns indi-
cate that Bryan has carried West Vir-
ginia and Maryland by small plurali-
4 ties.
OF the national figures in the field
1 for governor Hughes was elected in
New York state, Johnson in Minnesota
and Harmon in Ohio.
The returns showed also that Bryan
had won over his own state of Nebras-
Aa. Although Taft carried Indiana,
Ohio and probably Montana all three
Of those states appear to have elected
Democratic governors, Judge Harmon
apparently winning in Ohio and Thorn
as r. Marshall in Indiana.
Il On the other hand, while Bryan car
ried Missouri by safe margin the
election of Herbert S. Hadley, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, is in
dicated.
The uncertainty also extends to sew
/ eral of the legislatures, which will
choose United States senators to fill
vacancies caused by expiration OF
terms, of which there are thirty-one.
Late advices indicate that Montana,
4 up to now listed in the Bryan column,
has given Taft plurality. This would

The returns show a considerable fall
ing off in every county with the excep-
tion of two A heavy vote was polied
throughout the state, due principally
to the many warm contests in the leg
islative districts. The Republicans
hold their own in the congressional
districts if they co not increase their

no change in the Republican represen-
tation in the legislature. In Phila-
delphia the national ticket carried the

Louisville, XIV, Nov 5.-Bryan's
plurality in Kentucky of 1900, nine
and possibly ten Democratic congress
men elected-a Republican loss of two
seats-this is the story of the election
in Kentucky at the close of a day
which was marked by the polling of
the largest vote in the history of the

Taft will secure one of Kentucky's
ballots in the electoral college.

rality Henry B. Quinby, Republican
candidate for governor, will probably
have 1000 plurality, but as majority
is required to elect, the vote of the

st. Paul. Nov. 5.-Governor John
sons plurality over j. F. Jacobson for
governor may exceed 10000 when the
returns are all in, While Taft's plural
ity over Bryan will be more than 1OO,-
O0O
The estimate of plurality for John
son is based upon almost complete
returns from the cities and returns
from about two-fifths of the precincts
outside the Twin Cities. Johnson's
plurality in Minneapolis is 1851 and
his majority in Ramsey county is
around 5000. Returns from about
1000 of about $500 precincts outside
Of the Twin Cities give Jacobson 3d.
70S votes and Johnson $1,000. If the
same proportion is carried through the
rest of the country districts johnson
Ramsey and Hennepin by little over
5000. Adding this to the 10000 in
Hennepin and the 5000 in Ramsey
and he will have at least 10000 plu-
rality.
In the congressional contests Nc
Cleary, Rep, in the Second was de-
feated by Hammond, DEM, the pres
ent incumbent, by an even larger plu-
rality than two years ago. The only
other contest of note was in the First
district, where James A. Tawney,
