TAFT WILL HAVE 309 VOTES Bryan Will Have 174, According to Latest .. Returns?Democratic Gains in Middle West Amazing. New York, November 1.?Practically complete returns received up to a late hour tonight indicate that Win. 11. Tat't. of Ohio, as president-elect, "will have a vote of 309 in the electoral college. This is within Hi voles of the forecast made hy National Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock, and 07 more than a majority out of the ? total electoral vote of '183. I The most important news of the ! late returns indicates that Maryland, after vacillating during the day, and 1 apparently being safe to Democracy, 1 has been swung into the Taft column. | 1 The unofficial figures give Mr. Taft ! the Slate by 130 votes. Maryland was'' the last (if the doubtful States to be j ^ heard from. Indiana and West Vir- ' ginia, as well as Montana, turned out 1 to be safely Republican. Colorado ' went for Bryan. j( Mr. Bryan lias a total of 174 votes, ' two less than be received in 180(5. Tn 390-1 Mr. I'arker received only 1-10 ( votes, in l!"1!1 Mr. Bryan received 1 ">;"> j ' votes ami in 1890 the N'ebraskan received I7fi votes. Mr. Tail's 30!) j' electoral votes, compared with 33(5 j received by Roosevelt in 1001, 202 re- I ' received by Me.Kinlev in 1000 and 271 I ' received by McKinley in 189'. j' No changes of material interest |: have been reported in the eongres- ^ sional return.; today. The Republi- ' cans will have about the same work-j ' >ng m.ijorii \ in the (iM congress as1' at present, :md .lo>. < . Cannon. ??t" ' Illinois, undoubtedly will succeed hirnself a- speaker. ! . W i-pi'r-en I a t i\es .1 esse Overslreet, of* Indiana, and Hepburn, of Iowa, arc the imo-i conspicuous'among those who have faded of reelection. The senate retains its Republican complexion, although there will be aj' material change in the personnel of the upper bod\ of the national legis-| I'Mure. National Chairman Norman Mack, j of the ! >emocrat ic party, issued a statement tonight in which he declared lie did not believe Mr. Bryan would again be a candidate for the I presidency, lie said he believed that j the N'ebraskan might be ? candidate i for the I'uited Stales senate in 101 I, j provided the legislature of his State! i< Democratic in that year, when the I first vacancy will occur. The latest returns indicate that in I the national bouse of representatives, the Republicans will have 208 members. and the Democrats 172, with eleven districts missing. Judge Tal't's plurality in the Stnlej ot New ork, according to corrected returns late tonight, is 2(13,10."), more than 28,000 in evcess of President Roosevelt's plurality of four years ago. (iovernor Charles F.. Hughes was reelected iu New York State by 71,1.~>9. The returns as between president ami governor indicate a hcavv split t ing of t ickets. The heavy vote in Ohio made figues extraordinarily late owing to the immense si/.e of the ballot. Mr. Taft carried his own State, however, by .">0,000 plurality, a >"duction of! more than 200.000 from the Roosevelt ' vote ot' four years ago. The Demo-j cratic State ticket in Ohio, headed b\ .lndsou Harmon for governor. appears to be safely elected. The State legislature, which is io choose a -tic- ' cessor to Senator Foraker, appears to be in (loiil>! as between the Repubiicans and 1 )emocrals. In Indiana Mr. Taft wa? successful in carrying the Slate bv about 8,000,. but the entire Democratic State tick-i el, beaded by Mr. Marshall for gov-' ernor, was elected. The coitgression- \ al delegations from the State show a gain of seven Democrats. The returns from We-i Virginia.' owing to the mountainous character 'f | be c >:1111 rv, are slow iu cominu in. A -ntliciiMit number of counties and districts nave been heard from, how- i ever, to -how that Mr. Taft lias a safe plurality. Colorado earlv in the day shifted from the doubt ful cidumn to the Bryan I t. The legislature, which i- to clioo e v'iccess.ir to Senator Teller.' a! ? i; apparently Democratic. j Mr. Bryan's victory in his hornet Stale of Nebraska, was a sweeping one. Five of Nebraska's six eongres?- | men will be Democrats, while in the I legislature only 18 Republicans seem j to be elected out of a total of 133 senators and representatives. 21 COUNTIES WET AND 21 DRY.
