INDIANAPOLIS, November 4.-For the
first time since Thomas A. Hendricks was
elected governor on the democratic state
ticket and U. s. Grant received the electo-
raj vote of the state for the republican
national ticket Indiana has given a plu-
rality to the republican candidate for
President and at the same time elected a
democratic candidate for governor.
Whether Thomas r. Marshall. the gov
ernor-elect, will carry the rest of the
state ticket with him is a matter of con-
lecture. According to the latest estimate
Mr. Taft received a plurality of about
1900 and Mr.. Marshall was victorious
over James E Watson, republican candi-
date, by about 5000
Congressman Elected.
The congressional representation from
this state will probably be seven demo-
Gratis and six republicans. The latest re-
turns credit the democrats with six and
the republicans five members. with two
districts in doubt-the fifth and seventh
with the chances favoring the democratic
candidates.

Among the reasons ascribed by the re-
publican leaders for the defeat of Mr.
Watson, the probable loss of the legisla-
ture, possible defeat of Representative
Overstreet and the election of a demo
cratic county ticket are the liquor ques-
tion and the labor vote. Just prior to
the election Gov. ]. Frank Hanly called
a special session of the legislature and a
county local option law was passed after
bitter fight with the liberal element
This law was approved by Mr.. Watson
and the republican candidates in their
speeches, and in the election yesterday
the liberals worked for the success Of the
democratic state and county tickets.
There was also much agitation against
what was termed county graft" against
the county officials Of Marion county, who
were republicans, and this was an addi-
tional aid to the democratic candidates.

IN DOUBT.

William Howard Taft will be the
next President of the United
States and he will have a strong
republican Congress to support his
administration. Apparently MIR.
Taft's popular plurality will be very
close to the figures recorded for
Mr.. Roosevelt four years ago.
y striking feature of the result,
in view of the attention which Mr..
TAFT had paid to them, was the sub
stantlal way in which the southern
states gave increased recognition
to the republican candidates. In
Texas the national ticket did not
gain much, but the republican can
dldate for governor made SUR
prising run. In Virginia the demo-
cratic plurality was reduced to
about 5000 for Bryan. Taft's
vote in Louisiana ran 1000 ahead
OF the Roosevelt vote.
In Tennessee the Bryan vote fell
below the vote for Parker. Ar
kansas, South Carolina and Missis-
slppl showed about the least
change from the traditions of the
solid south. About 100 900 votes OF
white men were cast for Taft in
North Carolina, compared with
1900 for Roosevelt in 1904 and
$4,000 for Mckinley in 1000.
May Lack Majority in Georgia.
The TAFT vote in Georgia made
such gains that the Bryan cleo
toral ticket may not have the ma
jority of all the votes cast, as the
Georgia constitution requires, in
which event the legislature will
choose the electors. In Florida
the republican vote was consider
ably increased.
In the east the Taft vote makes
it apparent that Bryan was hope
lessly Objectionable to the cleo
tors. New York city went for
Taft by about $1,000. owing to a
plurality of 10000 for Taft in
Brooklyn, fifteen times as large
as Roosevelt's plurality there in

with the Roosevelt plurality of

plurality of about 10000

tremely in doubt, both sides

proach, if not to surpass, the
plurality of So,59S for Mr.. Roose

Big Vote in Labor States.
In manufacturing and mining
states, where the labor unions are
strong, there is little indication
that President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor
aided Bryan by "delivering' any
labor votes. Pennsylvania rolled
up an old-time republican ma
jority.
Illinois went for Taft by about
100000. Other republican pl,1rali-
ties of familiar size are re-
ported from Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Michigan, Ohio, Maine, Oregon,
California and similar traditional
republican strongholds. Indiana is
safely in the Taft column, but
Bryan seems to have carried Ne
braska, Missouri and Kentucky,
with Oklahoma and the solid south

quota, with the probable addition
of Nevada.
Some Significant Results.
Among the more significant re-
suits were the reelection to Con-

Chanler's Vote in Greater Citv Ran
Below Expectation Of Demo-
cratic Leaders.

NEW YORK, November 4.-The repub-
lican tickets, state and national, have
made clean sweep of New York state.
Taft has won the electoral vote by a
majority probably greater than that given
to Roosevelt four years ago. His lead
over Bryan for the entire state may reach
100000.
For the first time since 1900. when it
gave its vote to Mckinley, Greater New
York broke away from the democratic
column and gave a plurality for Taft
His plurality for the four counties is

Lewis s. Chanler's (dem) plurality for
governor in Greater New York was co.
3SS on the complete returns.
Gov. Hughes has been reelected by a
plurality over Chanler that will be about
1000. Republican State Chairman Wood
ruff claims this figure. but Democratic
State Chairman Corners held out to the
last in the hope that Chanler would pull
through
Vote Heaviest in Years.
The vote cast was the heaviest in many
years throughout the state. In most of
the districts, specially in Greater New
York, Hughes ran behind Taft. Early re-
turns indicated that this discrepancy was
great, but as the full counties came In it
was seen that the falling off would not be
great.
The largest falling off in the Hughes
vote, as had been expected, was in the
boroughs of the greater city.
Chanler's vote in the city ran far be-
low the expectations of, every one includ-
ing the republican leaders He developed
great strength in Kings county, and this
taken in connection with the heavy Taft
vote there, was regarded as evidence of
trading the assumption being that Sena-
tor McCarren traded Bryan votes for
Chanler votes very successfully. In Man.
haitian and the Bronx, while Bryan ran
behind Chanler, there was not so much
evidence of trading.
Greater City the Surprise.
The great size of the vote cast was
shown by the fact that, although Taft
polled a much bigger vote than Roosevelt
did in almost every precinct, his plurality
over Bryan in most Of them was not as
large as that of Roosevelt over Parker in
1904.
The sweeping character of his victory
was attributed to the entirely unexpected
reversal Of the ordinary run of elections

excellent article by Samuel Armstrong
Hamilton on the subject. Among the
many valuable pointers given out by
Mr.. Armstrong we quote:
THE seedlings which have been
started for early use in February will
need attention this month. No matter
where they may be growing--in house,
hotbed, cold frame or greenhouse
they must be cooled on a little, as the
outside air moderates. or they will
grow too rapidly. 1t must be kept in
mind that the ideal Seeding is one
