IOWA

DES MONIES. Nov. 3.-The incom-
plete returns received at 10 o'clock in
6icate that Taft has carried Iowa by a
plurality Of from 40, 900 to $4,000. This
is a tremendous falling of from the
Roosevelt plurality Of 15S.00O of four
years ago but IL represents only a
slight falling off from the normal
plurality.
The entire republican state ticket is
elected, probably by about the same
plurality. Governor A. B. Cummins
probably carried the republican sena-
torial primary over NJ J. Lacey by a
plurality of 10000 to $4,000, a tre-
mendous gain from last June. when he
was defeated by Allison by 11,000.
The indications are that the entire
delegation in congress will be repub-
Iican, a gain Of one over two years
ago. There is close race in the sixth
district between Hamilton, incum-
bent. democratic. and Kendall. re-
publican. Both sides are claiming the
district In the second and first close
districts. Dawson and Kennedy, repub-
licans, are elected by safe majorities.
In the eighth the fight against Hep
burn did not succeed and he is re-
elected.
Ia Des Moines there was a tremen-
dous loss Of votes to the republicans.
due TO the large labor vote for Bryan.
Hull. in the seventh district. was elect
ed by a reduced plurality.

KANSAS

TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 3.-Kansas cleo
tion returns are still very incomplete,
owing TO the long ballot and the late
hour of closing the polls The returns
seem TO substantiate the statement Of
the republican state committee that the
entire republican state ticket, headed
by Walter r. Stubs for governor, has
been elected by about q. 900 plurality
and that Taft's plurality is a few
thousand votes larger. The republican
majority in the new legislature will be
large assuring the election Of J. L.

postmaster general as United States
senator TO succeed Chester l. Long.

COLORADO

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 3-With thou
sands Of scratched ballots yet to be
counted and returns on straight ballots
complete in no city. town or county in
Colorado conditions at midnight are
sucn that it is impossible to give even
an Idea Of how the state has gone.
Il is estimated that more than so per
cent Of the ballots cast throughout the
state were scratched. Outside Of Den
Yer and Pueblo. Bryan and Taft are
running neck and neck on straight bal
lots. with definite returns from no
point.
In Denver Taft seems TO lead, but
the democratic managers say they Will
carry the city and county. In Pueblo,
figuring from returns on straight bal
lots Bryan has the advanta ge.a All over
the state local issues Influenced the
voters and this accounts for the heavy
scra tching. 1T is not likely that definite
statements Of results can be made be-
fore late tomorrow.
