BRYAN MEETS DEFEAT More Complete Returns Show That the Democratic Candidate Did Not Make as Good a Run as He Did Twelve Years Ago. New- York, Special.? ^Practically complete returns received up to a late hour Wednesday night indicate that William H. Taft, of Ohio, as President-elect, will have a vote of 309 in the electoral college. This is within 1G votes of the forecast made hy ?National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock and (i7 more than a ma jority out of the total electoral vote of 483. The most important news of the late returns indicates that Maryland, after vacillating during the day and apparently being safe:, for the Democracy, has been swung into the Taft column. The unofiVrial figures ' give Mr. Taft the State bv 136 votes. Maryland was the last of the doubt ful States to be heard from. Indiana and West Virginia us well as Mot)-, tana, turned out to be safely Repub lican. Colorado went for Bryan. Mr. Bryan has a total of 174 votes, two less thun he received in 1806. ?In 1904 Mr. Parker received only 140 votes, in 1000 Mr. l^ryan receiv ed 155 votes and i:i 1800 the Nebras kan received 176 votes. > Mr. 'laft's 300 electoral votes com pared with 336 received by Rodse velt in 1904, 202 received -by McKin ley in 1900 and 271 received by Me Kinley in 1896. 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 f resent, and Joseph G. Cannon, of llinois, undobtcdly will succeed him self as Speaker. Representatives ?Tesse Overstreet, of Indian:!, and Hepburn, of Iowa, are the n:os' con spicuous among those who have failed of re-election. The Senate retains its RcivM'wan complexion, although there will lie a material change in the person-?* I of the upper body of the national leg's-! lature. Npotional Chairman Norman V ! Mack, of the Democratic party iss'i-d : a statement in which lie declared .the' he did not believe Mr. Bryan would again be a candidate for the presiden * cy. He said he believed that the Ne braska)! might he n candidate for the United States Senate in 1911. pro vided the Legislature of his State is Democratic in that year, when the first vancaney will occur. ^ The latest returns indicate that in the national House of Representa tives the Republicans will have" 208 members and the Democrats 172. with eleven districts missing. The Result in New tfork. Judge Taft's plurality in the State of New ^ ork, according to corrected returns is 203,495, more than 28.000 in excess of President Roosevelt 's plurality of four years ago. Gov. % Charles E. Hughes was re-elected in New York State by 71,159. The re turns as between President and Gov ernor indicate a heavy splitting of tickets. The heavy vote in Ohio made fig ures extraordinarily late owing to the immense size of the ballot. Mr. Taft rarricd. his own State, however, by ft0,000 plurality, a reduction of? more * than 200,000 from the Roosevelt vote of four years ago. The Democratic State ticket in Obto. headed bv Jud aon 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 bv Mr. Marshall for Gover nor, was elected. The congressional delegation from the State shows a ffain of seven Democrats. ? The returns from West Virginia, owing to the mountainous character of the country, nre slow in coming in. A sufficient number of counties and districts have been heard from, how ever, to show that Mr. Taft has a ?afe plurality. * ? , Colorado early in the day shifted from the doubtful column to the ^ Drvan list. The Legist lature. which is to choose a successor to Senator Teller, also is apparently Democratic. Mr. Bryan's victory in liivhotpc State of Nebraska was a sweeping ? Tclcgraphic Briefs.

Cincinnati, O., Special. ? Early Wednesday William H. Taft gave hearty expression to the gratification he felt on his election as President of the United States. Business, labor and agrienlture, he declared, had sup ported him. His success, he said, should be also the success of the country if his ability and endeavor could make it so. "Please say that I am perfectly healthy but tired," was the message Judge Taft wished tittered for him. With M in. Taft he has enjoyed the pleasant household of the C. P.

Mr. Taft made the princi pal address at the corner stone lay ing of the new building of this school, from which he graduated when a boy.

A speech to the Women's Foreign Mission Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in annual session here, Thursday morning, and a ban quet of the Cincinnati Comcivial Club Thursday night constitute the public functions which will occupy Judge Taft before he leaves for Ilot Springs, Va..

Speaker Cannon Re-elected. Danville, III., Special. ? Joseph O. Cannon has been re-elected to Con gress by a majority of between (5,000 and 7,000. The returns an? incom plete, but enough of them have been received to show that he will receive his normal vote throughout the dis trict. Somo Details. Some of the figures relating to the Republican slump in States regarded as certainly Republican are little short of amazing. Pennsylvania's immense plurality of over 500 000 to about 40,000 for Mr. Taft. The return in Missouri to the Democracy on the presidential ticket wiped out a Republican plurality of 25,000 four years ago. Maryland and West Virtrinia are confidently claimed by the Republi cans, but the returns are too meagre to justify a classification of either State. Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey was striking exceptions to iho generally reducod Republican pluralities. There has been a shrinkage of the Democratic vote in several of the Southern States, notably in Virginia and Norih Carolina. Mr. Tm ft has carried Wisconsin by a plurality estimated at 75.000, a fnll'Mg from the Roosevelt plurality of ,.,(5.000 in 1f,r> ? Atlanta Court Fixer, Weight Georgia Mulo May Haul. Atlanta, (la.,. Special. ? There is a limit t?? the weight a (Jeorgia mule | Should bo made to haul and this limit I was fixed bv Judge Hrovh's in police court ot 2,500 pounds. Judge Broylos fined C. R. Walker $5.75 because Wal ker's mulo was caught by an enter prising policeman in the act of haul ing a load of 4,032 pounds. Kentucky has pone safely for Mr. Bryan by about 15,000. Governor John A. Johnson of Min nesota, has probably been elected Governor of that Slate for a third term, although the State has gone safely for Mr. Taft. The voting throughout the country has been exceptionally heavy, ideal weather conditions bringing out the country voters in full force. Mr. Taft carried practically every so-called doubtful State except Ne braska. where the indications point to a Democratic victory. M'\ Brvnn has carried Nevada and Montana, in addition to the sjlid South, which includes Missouri. Returns from Colorado and from Maryland are too meagre to form a definite conclusion as to their ulti mate alignment. v How fcho States Voted.

President Roosevelt was greatly elated when he saw by the election bulletins which reached him at the White House that the man who will succeed him to the presidency is William Howard Taft, for whose election he had striven so hard, and that the Republican party had achieved a sweeping victory. North Carolina. Charlotte, N. C., Special.-^-At 3 o'clock Wednesday morning The Ob server had received reports from seventy-four of the ninety-eight coun ties of the State, and the Democratic State ticket, headed by Hon. W. W. Kitchin, is elected by an approximate majority of 30,000. Democratic Chair man Filer at 1 o'clock claimed that the majority would be from 40,000 to 45,000, basing his estimates on re turns from fifty-two counties. Fifty six counties are safely Democratic, twelve are Republican and six nre in doubt. No reports were received on the remaining number, mostly moun tain and extreme eastern counties. Two congressional districts .the 8th and 10th are conceded to the Re publicans. Michigan. Detroit, Mich., Special. ? While Taft has carried Michigan by a ma jority estimated at about 100,000 at 11 o'clock the election for Governor is in doubt, with Hemans, Democrat, leading Warner, Republican, by 7,000. Illinois. Chicago, Special. ? The Republican national and State tickets gained a complete victory in Illinois, although the pluralities will probably fall short of those obtained by the party in the campaign of 1004. Taft haft carried the State by approximately 170,000 votes. Kentucky. Louisville, Kv., Special. ? Bryan's plurality in Kentu^kv is 13.000, eight and pnssiblv nine Democratic Con gressmen elected and a Republican loss of two seats.

Richardson, another iicimo, was voted for by the few Republicans in the Seventh district. The Socialist and Independence tickets made a very small showing in the State.
