NEW YORK, Nov. 4-William Howard
Taft of Ohio, republican, has been elected
twenty-seventh president of the United
States and James Schoolcraft Sherman OF
New York has been chosen vice president.
This is the outcome of one of the most re-
markable political campaigns in the his
tory of the republic
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska,
the democratic candidate, went down in
the third defeat OF his lite's ambition to
occupy the White House.
Returns today indicated that Mr.. Taft
would have at least 2sS electoral votes.
One of the results SURPRISING the most
sanguine hopes Of most republicans was
Mr.. Taft carrying the greater city of New
York by a plurality of 1855. His plurality
in New York state will considerably ex-
ceed Roosevelt's big plurality of 1904.
Hughes IL Reelected.
Governor Charles e. hughes was re-
elected by plurality estimated today
as well above 5000 over the vote cast
for his democratic opponent, Lieutenant
Governor Chanler. While Greater New
York gave plurality of more than 5000
for Taft, it gave Chanler a margin of 56S4S.
With thirty-one United States senators
to be elected by state legislatures, chosen
yesterday earlier in the fall, the repub-
licans will retain their control of both
houses of congress, the precise figures be-
ing subject to change, however.
New England, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania rallied to Taft with not
able majoritie5. Maryland's returns today
dwndled Tafts plurality, as claimed last
night, until Bryan appeared to have mar
rowly carried the state
Returns late this evening placed West
Virginia in the republican column and In
dicated that the electoral vote of Missouri
is still in doubt.
:. a. How They Now stand.
OF the states which at the outset of the
day were generally placed in the Bryan
column, Colorado and Montana were still
subjects of counter claims. Nebraska,
however, has been decisively credited to
Bryan On the basis of the facts known
early today, the table of electoral votes
would De as follows;

so far as the chief result is concerned. by
the fact that late today the result in sew

The uncertainty also extends to several
of the legislatures which will choose United
States senator's to fill vacancies caused by
expiration of terms, OF which there are
thirty-one.
The uncertainty this afternoon may be
summarized as follows:
Colorado-Returns very incomplete. rhs

Indiana-For Taft. but the governor.
Thomas r. Marshall is probably elected
over James Il. Watson.
Idaho-Almost certainly for TAFT Legis-

This administration has meant a steady

Fancy muffs will be fad of the
season. and In them there is q chance
for employing all the cleverness in
design and needlework that woman
possesses. In nun brocade and
feathers may be most charmingly
combined. and neckpiece to match
may be evolved. Black velvet with
black ostrich tips can be worked to-
gether with astonishingly artistic re-.
suits, while artificial flowers. either
as substitute or In combination, are
lovely.

The Smart scarfs.

: Just at the present moment the
silks being used for the manufacture
OF the smartest scarfs have patterns
which would seem to owe their In
spiration to various phases of nature.
Fruits and flowers figure very largely
In the designs now as do all sorts OF
towering plants and vines. The new.
est scarfs of this type show another
phase Of nature In their design. They
have round balls of color suggesting
suns crossed by feecy clouds. AS the
majority OF these scarfs are made OF
gray brocade, the cloud effect is per-
fectly apparent. One had red Guns =
while dark blues and browns also ap-
pear In some OF the patterns.

All sorts Of berthas are used for

times these berthas are Of broadcloth

but In nearly every instance they are
shaped like the erstwhile popular

To accompany these berthas there are
