be James Schoolcraft Sherman, Re-
publican, of New York.
This is the verdict returned by the
majority of the 100000 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 81 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 Taft 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
W TIC OtiCl luiDOI DdIlleS.
Most of the great cities of the
country have gone Republican, in
Guiding New York and Chicago st.
Louis has gone Republican, while the
rest of Missouri is heavily Demo-
cratic.
Taft has carried every doubtful
state in the East and West, includ-
ing New York, Ohio, Indiana, Mary
land and some of the far Western
states, but not including Nebraska,
which seems to have gone for Bryan.
His majority in New York state may
reach 100000, he carried Ohio by
nearly 100000 and Illinois by 49,
600
Indiana was extremely close, the
majority there for the head of the
ticket ranging from 5000 to Is, 900.
The returns indicate that the far
Western mountain states of Colorado
and Idaho have also given Taft their
electoral votes.
Missouri has gone for Bryan, as
was expected. Hadley, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, made a
hard fight, but could not. overcome
the normal Democratic majority The
indications are that Senator Stone
has succeeded in the primary cleo
ton, thus defeating the ambition of
Governor Folk to become United
States Senator.
Iowa has gone overwhelmingly for
Taft, but by majority much re
duced from that given to Roosevelt
four years ago, as was expected. The
returns from the primaries indicate
that Governor Cummins received
majority of the Republican vote and
will therefore be indicated as the
choice of the legislature for United
States Senator 10 succeed the late
William B Allison.
Central States for Taft
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the
great central. states, with an aggre-
gate of 65 electoral votes, have gone
Republican despite the fight made to
bring them into the Democratic coll
umn. The success of Mr.. Taft in
these states was considered vitality
necessary to his election. Governor
Deneen in Illinois was reelected. but
Governor Harris in Ohio was defeat
ed by Harmon, Democrat. and Con-
gresham Watson, Republican, was
defeated for governor by Marshall,
Democrat, in Indiana. Republi-
can hopes of carrying Kentucky
proved vain in spite of the victory
of Wilson, Republican, in the guber-
material contest last year. The
greater part of the states congress
sional delegation will be Democrats
The Pacific Coast states, Cali
fornia, Washington and Oregon have
given their votes to the Republican
candidates. but Nevada, which voted
against Parker in 1904, gave its
votes this year to Bryan. The Da-
kotas and Minnesota are again Re
publican. Governor Johnson's per-
sonal popularity has apparently suf-
feed to seat him again in the guber-
Material chair of the North Star
state, although his reelection is not
certain. Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa
and in fact the whole northwest are
Republican.
The South Still Solid.
The solid South" is still solidly
Democratic, Mr.. Bryan polling the
usual large majorities. Maryland,
about which some doubt was ex-
pressed before the election, is prob
ably Democratic. Delaware is con-
ceded to the Republicans. The
New England states have gone for
Taft and have elected Republican
governors, but the vote in Rhode Is
land, where the Democrats made a
strong fight, is very close. In Massa-
chusetts the independence party can
didate for governor made good
