PLURALITY AND ELECTS A
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR.

New York, Nov. 4.--While the cleo
tion of VIM. H Taft as president by
large majority of the electoral vote
was an absolute certainty today, the
result was so close in Maryland and
West Virginia as to center attention
upon those states. The latest returns
during the forenoon indicated that
Bryan had carried West Virginia and
Maryland by small pluralities.
Today's returns showed also T.. It
Bryan had won over his own state OF
Nebraska and that state has elected
a democratic governor.
Indiana Has Democratic governor.
Although Taft carried Indiana, Ohio
and probably Montana, all three of
these states appear to have elected
democratic governors, Judson Harmon
apparently winning in Ohiv, and Thom-
as r. Marshall in Indiana.
On the other hand while Bryan car
ried Missouri by a safe margin, the
election of Herbert S. Hadley. the re-
publican candidate for governor was
indicated. .-s.ga
At IL o'clock it was certain that the
republicans will control the next house

Of Ohio, republican. has been elected
the next president of the United States
and James Schoolcraft Sherman of
New York has been chosen vice presi-
dent. This is the outcome of one of
the most remarkable political cam
paigns In the history of the republi-
cans.
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska,
the democratic candidate went down in
the third defeat of his life's ambition
to occupy the white house. The re-
turns received up to s a. m. today
indicated that Taft would have at least
29S electoral votes, and as the de-
tails came in increasing the fullness
from the west 1t began to look as il
the figures might reach the 325 mark
a claim as assured to him in the ante
election forecast of Chairman Hitch
cock, of the republican national COM
mittee, or possibly even the approxi-
mate s36 achieved In 1904 by Roose-
velt The number necessary to the
choice is 242.
Taft Wins in Gotham.
One Of the results surprising the
most sanguine hopes of most republi-
cans was Taft's carrying the greater
city OF New York by plurality which

1853 districts missing, footed 9,378
