Republicans Sweep the Entire Nation
Like An Avalanche
MR. 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

Mr. Taft Talks.
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. Taft
family mansion, going forth only
once, and then to receive the plaudits

city an opporunity to pay its first
daylight tribute to the President

the election or politics in his address,
but confined himself to the history
of the school, which held for him
many fond memories.

Danville, III., Special. ? Joseph O.
Cannon has been re-elected to Con

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.

Taft's plurality
Roosevelt Very Happy.
Washington, Special. ? 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. Thin is the prob
able story of the election in lven-j
