THE LANC
Republican managers at once
began to put in claims of victory.
Returns irom the up-country
<1?strict b of New York State,
where votiug machines are largely
used, were the n^xt to arrive.
It had beeu predicted for days
that Erie country, including the
heavy vote of Buffalo, might be
taken as an index to the drift
throughout the county. This
proved to be the ce.90 so far as
the national ticket was concern
ed, Mr. Taft having a plurality
of somethiug more than 4,000
votes. Erie county surprisingly,
however, gave Lieut. Gov. Chanler
a|pluralityot more than 3.000
The opponents of Gov. Hughes
were quick to claim a sweeping
victory, but rcturus from the
other large counties and citi> s
soon changed the complexion of
the returns completely. The
vote in Greater New York fur
VI - ? 1 1 J*
mi. vjiHimm was Cieepiy disappointing
to his firends, while the
heavy vote for Mr. Taft, eapec
ially in the borough of Brooklyn,
completely eclipsed the most
sanguine hnpes of the Republi
cans. Gov. Hughes was out
heavily up I ho 8tate, but not ho
deeply as to imperil his election,
once the drift in his favor '*below
the Bronx1' h id begun to
make itself felt
REPUBLICAN SLUMPS.
Some of the figures relating
to tBe Republican slump in
States regarded as certainly Republican
are little short of amazing.

305,000 in 1904, has gone for
Tait by about 170,000. Tlio
highest cl dm of the Republicans
lor Indiana is 15,000 as aga'n-t
approximately 93.000. Iowa,
which gave Mr. Roosevelt 158.00"

Maryland and w est Virginia
are confidently cltimed by tbe
Republicans, but the returns are
too meagre to justify a clast-ifi
cation of either Slute. Masanchuseit?,
New York and New
Jersey were strikin'_'|exception8
to the generally reduced Republican
pluralities.

The votiug throughout the
country hat been exceptionally
heavy, ideal weather conditions
bringing out the country vo'ers

Mr. Taft canied praelicall*
every socalled doubliul State
except Nebraska ,where the mdi
Cations point to a Democratic vie

and Montana, iu addition
to (tie solid South, which include*
