CANNON REELECTED.
Els Plurality Above The Normal
Strong in Labor Precincts.

Danville, ILL.,, Nov. 4,--Jos. G. Can,
non was reelected to Congress yester.
day from the 18th Illinois district by
a plurality considerably above the nor.
NAL Returns are still incomplete but
enough figures have been obtained ia
show that be will probably have a plu-
raIty of at least 10,50o. This is es-
timated to be in the different counties
in this district as follows;
Vermillion, 6,00o;' roquois, 1900;
Kankakee, 1000; Edgar, 700; Clark,
200, and Cumberland, 100.
The result was something Of sur
prise to the friends of Mr.. Cannon.
The fight made against him by var.
ious church organizations the Anti-Sa-
loon league and organized labor, coup
led with the fact that the Democrats
had for the first time since 1863 a
complete organization in this district
led the Republicans to believe that Mr..
Cannon's plurality would not be over
5000
In the heaviest union labor precincts,
however, Cannon received as large a
vote as he ever received before, and in
home Of them he made decided gains.
The speaker expressed himself ais ex-
tremely gratifed over the vote of con-
fidence given him by his constituents.

WAS NOT SURPRISED.
vice-president-elect Sherman Had An
ticipated Result.

Utica, N. Y, Nov 4.--James S. Sher-
man. the Republican vice. presidential
candidate, received the election returns
at his home on upper Genesee street
this city, surrounded by company of
relatives and friends. The house was
supplied with long distance telephone
connections and direct telegraph wire
from New York and as the bulletins
were read to Mr. Sherman he was con-
graduated by those assembled.
Ii became evident from the start
that the returns were not surprising to
Mr.. Sherman. He has said all the time
that he expected the Republicans would
win and he expressed no surprise as
the returns came indicating that the
state had gone heavily for the Repub-
lican national ticket. He was at his
best, and jobed and talked with dis
visitors in very happy frame of mind.
Congratulations come from all sections
early and the telephones were busy
with the messages that were sent from
home and abroad. A large crowd Of
people assembled in the street in front
of Mr. Sherman's residence, but as no
bulletins were shown from that section
of the city, the crowd thinned out and
the street was quiet
"The result Of the national election
does not surprise me- and Mr.. Sher-
man. For the past month | have been
as sure of Republican success as / am
tonight. The Republican party plat
form and candidate stood for stability
order, confidence, a continuance of pros

THE CHAPMAN MEETINGS.
What One Business Man Has to Say of
Their Results.

Concerning the Chapman meetings
which are to begin at the Methodist
church Thursday evening at 1880
o'clock John Marsellus of the John Mar
sellus manufacturing company of Syra-
euse, n. Y, says:
From my standpoint as a business
man, | believe that the results of the
work accomplished by Dr. Chapman and
his associates have benefited our city
in every way. Impressions in depth
and general effect--far surprising pre-
.ious revival campaigns, and approach
ed in extent and influence only by that
under the leadership OF ID. l.. Moody
have been made not alone in the city
OF Syracuse, but throughout central
New York, which promise much for the
future welfare of the churches. Never
before have men, as class, been so
Never have they appear
ed more responsive. In this aspect
alone, although other encouraging re-
velations are by no means lacking, the
steady support given by the men of
Syracuse, as witnessed in the crowds
of men only who filled the great Al
hambra Auditorium. stamps this whole
as one that is broad, rea-
sonable, sound inspiring and helpful.
The criticisms offered by people pre-
yious to the beginning of this campaign
were all dissipated into thin air when
the plan was actually demonstrated. In
our opinion man has to be actually
uninformed or unreasonable If he can
find fault with the work or the work
ars. The speakers said the singers pre-
sent the messages Of the Gospel in
manner both simple and sincere. There
is no attempt at clap-trap methods;
The appeals are straightforward, unae-
by excitement, and every
feature is temperate and logical"

HUGHES REELECTED
BY ABOUT $4,000
chanler's Slump in Greater New York
Surprising to His Managers.


New York, Nov. 4.--Gov. Charles f.
Hughes has been reelected in New
York state by about $4,000 plurality.
Returns from the up.country districts
OF New York state, where voting ma
chimes are largely used, were the first
TO arrive. 1t had been predicted for
days that Erie county, including the
heavy vote of Buffalo, m ght be taken
as an index TO the drift throughout the
country This proved to be the case so
far as the national ticket was concern
ed. Mr.. Taft having a plurality of
something more than 1000 votes.
Erie county surprisingly, however,
gave Lieut.-G Cnanler plurality of
more than 5000. The opponents of
Gov. Hughes were quick to claim a
sweeping victory, but returns from
the other large counties and cities soon
changed the complexion Of the returns
completely.
The vote in Greater New York for
Mr.. Chanler was deeply disappointing
to his friends, while the neavy vote for
Mr.. Taft, especially in the borough of
Brooklyn, completely eclipsed the most
sanguine hopes of the Republicans.
Gov. Hughes was cut heavily up the
state. but not so deeply as to imperil
his election, once the drift in mis- favor
below the Bronx" had begun to make
itself felt.
Two thousand four hundred and
twenty.six election districts out OF
3,o36 elections districts in New York
state outside of Greater New York,
give Hughes 439,s67; Chanler 33s,3s4;
Shearn 1916. Same districts in 1906
gave Hughes 394,74o; Hearst 272,253.

REcEIyINc rHE RETURNs.
Most Complete Efforts Ever Put Out in
Barre, Last Night.

II was an unenthusiastic crowd which
received the national election returns IN
Barre last night, although the large at
tendance Indicated that there was q
quiet interest taken in the outcome
There was not a cheer or a cat-call as
the various bulletins were announced. In
fact, most of the people seemed 10 have
formed their private opinion how the
election was coming out and the figures
simply bore them ont in their opinion.
The early returns from New York indi-
Gated a Taft victory and when that was
announced the crowd did not linger 10
get the final announcement. A few
faithful ones delayed their home going
until into the early hours of the morn
ing
The Times kept open-house, as usual
on election nights, and the street in
front Of the office was filled with people
until IL became evident that Taft was
elected. The important returns were
bulletined In the windows from time to
time. The Times extra gave the first
news to Washington county OF Taft's
election, and large edition was run Off
20 meet the demand. Newsboys awoke

was sent out on the various rural de-

A novel feature of the evening in
Barre was the work of the New England
Telephone company in throwing its bull
letins on a screen placed between tree
and pole ON the library lot, with the
stcreoptieon set up on the piazza Of the
National Bank building just across Elm
street The efforts of the telephone com.
pany were appreciated by large num-
ber Of people, and the picturing of re-
turns was kept up until an early hour
this morning The bulletins were easily
readable for considerable distance
Various clubs also kept open-house
until early this morning, and special
bulletins were either blackboarded or an
nounced by word of mouth. In fact,
there never were so complete efforts to
get and spread election returns in Barre
as last night The Western Union tele-
graph operator was one Of the busiest
men in the world from six p. M to ap-
six a. M. to-day, while the
operators in the telepohne office scarcely
had time to eat chocolate now and
then.

--Bryan's Plurality Less Than
g1s On0

st. Louis. Nov. 4.--To-day's returns
promise striking reversal of the Mis-
souri vote as indicated last night. The
election OF Cowherd, Democrat, for gov
ernor is in doubt. Bryan's plurality may
be cut from 10000, as estimated, to less
than $4,000. On the early returns from
the governorship, Cowherd led Hadley,
Republican, but it was then seen that
he was running far behind Bryan. Re-
turns from the state came in very slow
iy. due to the large number Of scratched
ballots. The legislature will be Demo-
cratic by 26 on the joint ballot.
