Taft's plurality in Iowa will pass the

on practically complete returns from
two-thirds of the counties of the state,
and it will probably be sustained by
complete returns later. This plural
ity of 10000 is 5000 more than was
given to Mckinley in 1896. and is
more than a normal Republican plu-

MISSOURI,

Returns compiled by the st. Louis
Republic give Taft the electoral vote
Of Missouri by a plurality of 2,1s2 over
Bryan. These returns are complete
from all but three counties. and include
estimates based on partial returns from
the missing counties. The Globe
Democrat places the Taft plurality in
excess Of 1897.
The plurality of Hadley, Republican,
for governor, Is now placed at 1851,
and complete returns from the three

that he has polled the highest vote
ever cast in the state for any Office.
The Legislature IS Democratic on

A radical change In lndiana's rep
representatives was the most striking
feature OF the election. The la est un'
official returns complete give tho
Democratic party eleven members and
the Republicans two. This Is a gain
of sever members for the Democrats.
Taft carried the state for president by
about 5000. The entire Democratic
state ticket is probably elected by a
plurality around $4,000.
The state legislature is probably
Democratic. which means that a Dem
ocratic to Senator James A.
