Republicans Retain Control. No changes of material interest have been reported in the congres sional returns. The Republicans will have about the same working major ity in the Sixty-first Congress as at present, and Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, nndobtedly will succeed him self as Speaker.

The Result in New York. Judge Taft's plurality in the State of New York, according to corrected returns is 203,405, more than 28.O00 jt; in excess of President Roosevelt's H plurality of four years ago. Gov. r Charles E. Hughes was re-elected in New York State by 71,150. The re turns as between President and Gov S ornor indicate a heat'y splitting of tickets. The heavy v^te in Ohio made fig ures extraordinarily late owing to the \{ immonse size of the ballot. Mr. Taft ^carried.. hi a .own State, however, by - fi0,000 plurality, a reduction of more than 200,000 from the Roosevelt vote of four years ago. The Democratic State ticket in Ohio, headed by .Tud ?on Harmon for Governor, appears" to be safely elected. The State Legisla ture, which is to choose a successor to Senator Joseph B; Foraker, appears to be in doubt as between the Re publicans and Democrats. In' Indiana Mr. Taft was successful in carrying the State by about 8,000, but the entire Democratic State tick et headed by Mr. Marshall for Gover nor, was elected. The congressional delegation from the State shows a gain of seven Democrats. The returns from West Virginia, owing to the mountainous, character o? the country, are slow in coming in. ? A sufficient number of counties and districts have been heard from, how ever, t(T Bhow that Mr. Taft has a : *safe plurality. Colorado early in the day shifted from tho doubtful column to the Bfyan list. The Legislature, which is to choose a successor to Senator ' Teller, also is apparently Democratic. Mr. Bryan's victory in his home S4aic of Nebraska was a sweeping OHO. Five of K?>hv##Vn ?h'y con gressmen will he Democratic, while-iu the Legislature only 18 Republicans seem to be elected ont of a total of 333 Senators and Representatives. ? r? r - ~ Mr. Taft Talks. . : ? ^ Cincinnati, O., Spcrial.?
