TAFT CARRIES OHIO BY $4,000.
Democrats Win on Governor by About
10000 Plurality.

Cincinnati, o. Nov. 5.-Taft carried
his home state by $4,000 at the same
time the Democrats elected Judge
Harmon to be governor by 10000 plu-
rality. On these two points fairly COM
plete figures have been received,
few counties from which partial re-
turns were received being estimated,
but the real basis of the statement Is
the actual precinct vote collected by
the Associated Press. Few and scat
tering reports have come in from the
remainder of the state ticket, but 1t is
probably Republican, the Democrats
being about ready to concede the fact,
although none has received exact or
complete figures. The Democrats con-
cede the choice of a Republican legis-
lature by which a United States sena-
tor will be elected to the place now
filled by Senator Foraker. Foraker is a
candidate for reelection, but several
other prominent members of the party
have been suggested by their friends as
willing to take the place.
Under the state constitution the leg
islature is to meet one year from next
January, although the senatorial term
begins on the fourth of next March. II
il should develop on the receipt of full
er returns that the constitutions
amendment to remedy this matter mas
failed it is probable a special session or
the legislature will be called to elect
senator.
No reports have been received TO
show the vote of the minor parties.

SHIPS LEAVE CHINA.
Second Squadron of Snerry Fleet
Departs for Philippines

Annoy, China, Nov. 5.AThe second
squadron of the battleship fleet which
under the command of Rear Admiral
Emory has been in Annoy since October
as the guest of the government of
China brought it's visit to close this
morning, when at o'clock, 1t steamed
out of the harbor bound for Olongapo
to join the first squadron under Admiral
Sperry. The distance to Olongapo is
about 700 miles and the vessels should
reach there early on the morning of
November 8.
The departing warships were given
a demonstration in marked contrast to
the apathy which was noticeable on
their arrival. The hills behind the
beach were black with people who had
assembled to view the spectacle and
the firing of crackers continued for one
hour.
made on board the flagship and at s
O'Clock the entire squadron was under
way. One after another the white
ships glided slowly to their positions and
then together the entire squadron
steamed out of the harbor AS the
American vessels passed the Chinese
cruisers their crews greeted the Off
cials on board with rousing cheers, and
at the same time the Chinese fort
hoisted the American flag beside the
standard of China and saluted the de-
parting guests. This salute was re-
turned by the American flagship.
The cost of the reception has exceed
ed $1000000. The Chinese government
has been lavish in it's attention to the
American officers and men and the final
official function on shore last night the
entertainment afforded by the Chinese
government, was declared by the Amer
leans to have been with the exception
of Australia. second to none. The Chi
nese are delighted with the visit and
they comment especially upon the ex-
cellent department of the American
sailors.
The battleship Georgia, the flagship
of Admiral Emory will leave the fleet
and go to Hong Kong where Admiral
Emory will take liner for home The
flagship will be in Hong Kong for only
two hours. She will then continue for
Olongapo, on the island of Luzon, and
join the other vessels there.

His Majority Exceeds Thirty
Thousand Votes.
Stubbs Also Has a Decisive Plu
rality.
FIGURES STILL COMING
Indicate Republican Governor
Has About 5000.
Effort to Line Up Unions for
Bryan Failure.

Taft's plurality in SO counties of KAN
sas is 31,152, and in the remaining 1s
counties 1t will probably be somewhat
creased. 1t may reach $4,000.
The plurality for Stubbs in 40 coun-
ties reported at Republican state head
quarters is 14,120. Stubbs total plural
lily Will probably be about 2500O
one or the interesting things which
is shown by an analysis of the returns
thus far received is the apparent fizzle
or the effort made by Samuel Gompers
to inject the American Federation OF
Labor into the Kansas campaign.
Gompers sent word to his Kansas lieu
tenants to turn everything loose in un-
Ion labor circles to beat Taft. The
Kansas leaders of the American FEEDER
ation held meetings all over the state
for the purpose of lining up the fed
GRAFTON members. One was held in To-
peka Sunday afternoon. The orators
among the union laborites branded Taft
as hostile to labor. Evidently this sort
OF talk did not weigh very heavily with
the rank and file of the labor unions,
for in some of the strongest union la
Dor towns in the state, the expected
majorities for Bryan failed to mater

pected to give about 5000 majority for

who had taken all sorts of pledges de-
manded by the American Federation OF
Labor, but whom the federation lead
ers said they were not especially sup
porting, ran ahead of Bryan in some
of the big union labor counties.

garding West Virginia.

Wheeling w. Va, Nov. 5.-The Reg

the completeness of the Republican
victory in West Virginia. The plurali-
ties shown are as follows:

Bryan Issues a Statement in
Which He Says
1t Is for the Voters to Decide
What They Want.
HE STILL HAS HOPES
That the Principles He Has Ad.
vccated Will Prevail.
He Has No Fault to Find With
Anybody.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 5-william J..
Bryan today issued the following state
ment:
The election has gone against us by
decisive majority. The returns are
not all in and it is impossible at the
present time to analyze them or to say
what causes contributed most to the
fight upon platform which embodies
what we believed to be good for the
American people, but it is for the peo-
pie themselves to decide what laws
they desire and what methods of gov
ernment they prefer. 1 have faith that
the publicity which we asked for will
yet commend itself to the American peo-
pie. that the election OF senators by the
people will be secured, that the iniqui-
ties of the trust will arouse an op-
position that will result in the elimina-
ton of the principle of private monop-
oily. I am confident that the people
will see the necessity for the labor leg
islation and the tariff reduction which
our platform demanded. l am conf1-
dent, too, that the educational work
done in this campaign will result in Sc
curing greater protection to bank de-
positors. The above are the most
prominent reforms for which we labor
ed and believe that these reforms will
yet come, together with more effective
regulation of railroads and independ-
ence for the Filipinos.
'I desire to commend the work of
our national committee. am entirely
satisfied with Mr.. Mack as the chair
man, and with the members of the
committee. I do not see what they
could have done more than they did
and as for myself 1 put forth every
effort in my power to secure victory
for our cause. The nomination came
from the hands of the voters; 1 have
obeyed their command and have led
as best I could. Words will not ex-
press my gratitude for the devotion
which has been shown by millions o1
Democrats during the past II years.
Neither am I able to adequately ex-
press my appreciation for the kind
words which have been spoken since
the election.
"If I could regard the defeat as
purely a personal one. would con-
slider 1t blessing rather than a mis-
fortune, for am relieved OF the bur-
dens and responsibilities of an office
that is attractive only in proportion as
it gives an opportunity 10 render a
larger public service. But I shall
serve as willingly in a private capacity
as in a public one. God does not re-
uuires that we improve the oppor-
tunfties that are presented and 1 shall
be glad to improve the opportunities
for service presented by private life.
I'm this hour of national defeat
find some consolation in the cordial
support given by my neighbors, by the
citizens of Lincoln and by the people
of the state of Nebraska. With a
Democra governor and Democratic
legislature we shall be able to put into
practice so much of the Denver plat
form as relates to state legislation, and
I trust that our state will set an ex-
ample that will be an influence for
good in the nation"

DEBS' VOTE WAS LIGHT.
Will Not Reach More Than Half of
What Was Expected.

Chicago. Nov 5.-The Socialist vote
in Tuesdays election showed a great
falling off from the record in 1904 in
the three principal cities of the country
in which socialism is strongest. Chi
cago Socialists who polled $4,000 votes
in 1904 were given less than $4,000 votes
in the returns and the most sanguine
do not expect that the revised totals
will exceed 21,0 coo votes for Mr.. Debs.
Cincinnati and Cleveland also listed as
strong Socialist centers according to
the leaders of the party, polled great
ly decreased vote.
While admitting the adverse figures
today A NJ. Simons, member of the ma
tional committee of the Socialist party,
asserted that an increase was shown in
the vote this year in the small towns.
Mr. Simons said:
Mr.. Gompers Influenced the labor
vote on which the Socialist party de-
pends to great extent. His words
caused many thousand semisocialists
of radical views to vote for Mr.. Bryan
and also frightened many conservative
labor men into voting for Mr.. Taft We
are particularly pleased with results on
the Pacific coast, where an increased
vote was shown in many towns. We
have received word of gains in Texas
towns. from Missouri and a few towns
in New York"
The total vote for Mr.. Debs, 1t is
estimated will not exceed 100000 in
place of the 100000 which was pre-
dicted by enthusiastic Socialists.

Laughs and Jokes as Though Nothing
Had Happened.

Lincoln, Neb, Nov. 5.-while not car
ing to discuss at this time the present
effect of the Democrat victory in his
home state or analyze the causes, w
J. Bryan in an informal talk to mum
ber of friends who called on him ex-
pressed his pleasure at the result in
Nebraska and the satisfaction 1t af-
forded him to learn of the election OF
so many of his personal and political
friends.
A delegation of nearly a hundred
from Lincoln visited Mr.. Bryan at Fair
view to express to him their confidence
and devotion and to assure him that
such was the sentiment of a majority
Bryan in responding said:
''I am highly gratified over the re-
suit in this state. The national defeat
has not been such disappointment
when we have had SO many things to
console us. 1 hope have convinced
my friends that running for office has
only been an incident to my work.
Ny heart has never been set on hold
ing office, but 1 wanted to do certain
work and it looked as though the presi-
dency might offer the opportunity to do
that work. 1 am sure that in private
life can have the chance to do some
thing One is not required to hold
office in order to do big things. One is
simply required to do those things with
in his reach and that much is within
the reach of each of us.
personally 1 shall find as much joy
being out of Office if the returns show
1 must be as 1 would to be in office.
/ hope still to be of influence to bring
about needed reforms. appreciate very
much the confidence and loyalty of the
people near US. 1t has been the great
est comfort that the election has given
us. The fact that those among whom
we live have shown this confidence we
appreciate more than 1 can tell YOU.
1t has been very kind in you to come
ont here and visit us on this day."
The defeat he sustained did not weigh
heavily on Bryan. He was one of the
most cheerful of those at his home and
laughed and joked good naturedly with
his visitors. Last night Mr. Bryan was
the guest of honor at the banquet at
the State Teachers association, where
he made a short address. He has no
other immediate plans than to rest at
his home following his canvass.

TIe State Senate.


The site senate will have almost its
old time Republican preponderance,
which has made the Democratic vote
almost a negligible quantity.
Out of the SO states senators elected
by the Republicans, there are proba-
bly, Is who are avowed 'progressives"
and friendly to reform legislation. They
will stand by Governor Walter Roscoe
Stubbs in any reasonable railroad reg
ulation, and will form a fighting force
for him in the state senate during his
term of Office which will no doubt be
of great value to him. OF course Is
votes are not enough to control the sem
ate but 1t certainly fixes things so
that there won't be any senate lodge"
of obstructionists, because there are
only 20 more Republican votes possible
which is not a majority of the senate.
The chances are very favorable for
the progressives picking up all the
votes they. need in the state senate to
put through whatever progressive leg
islation they may desire.
