NEW YORK CITY ANI
By
New York, November 4.?Geni
eral election returns from
"(throughout the United States received
up to an early hour this
morning show the following re
suits:
Wm H Taft, of Ohio, has beer
* elected Preswlent, with 296 votes
secure and 13 doubtful.
Practically no change is indicated
in the complexion of the
National House of liepresenta.
The United States Senate will
^ retain its present Republican
N majority.
_ Governor Chas E Hughes has
been reelected in New York
State by about 76,000 plurality,
Indiana has gone for Taft bj
from 15,000 to 16,000 plurality.
Bryan apparently has carried
Nebraska, although the Republicans
still claim the State.
Ohio returns have been seri
ously delayed owing to the im
mense size of the ballot, bul
Taft has carried the State by z
majority ranging from 50,000 tc
75,000. ~
Taft carried New York city bj
about 11,000 plurality, this be
ing the first time the city ha*
given its vote to a RepublicaE
presidential candidate sine*
vl696, when Mr McKiuley had a
, small plurality.
Mr Taft received a greatei
plurality in New York Statt
* than President .Roosevelt did
four years ago, the indications
pointing to 202,000 for Mr Taft
as against 175,000 for Mr Roose
tx
veil.
Hisgen, the Independence party
candidate for President, received
about 28,000 votes ir
eater New Ycrk.
The indications are that Dem
- ocratic Governors have beer
^elected in several of the Middle
Western States that have given
their presidential votes toTaft.
Mr Taft has exceeded Mi
Roosevelt's plurality in Nen
Jersey and in Massachusetts, as
vcell as in New York.
The Republican pluralities fel
off heavily in the Middle West
in a manner thoroughly supris9

heavy pluralities indicated there
I for Mr Taft seemed at once to
. dissipate any probability of a
"landslide" for Mr Bryan, as
. many Democrats had claimed,
and the Republican managers at

i victory.

; against approximately 93,000.
: Iowa, which gave Mr Roosevelt
. 158,000 plurality in 1904, has
dropped down to about 40,000
for Mr Taft. The return of Mis.

Republican plurality of 25,000

J ? o ?- J
i West Virginia are confidently
\ claimed by the Republicans, but
. the returns are too meagre to

State. Massachusetts, New

reduced Republican plu1

off from the Roosevelt plurality
of 156,000 in 1900.

Representative W S Cowherc
has been elected Governor o

Governor John A Johnson o

I The voting throughout th<
country has been exceptionally
j heavy, ideal weatb r conditions

i Mr Taft carried practically
every socalled doubtful State
I except Nebraska, where the in
idications point to a Democratic
I victory.
Mr Bryan has carried Nevada
and Montana, in addition to the
solid South, which includes Mis
; souri.
Returns from Colorado anc

the latest Republican advices
I are that Taft has carried Mary

THE HALLOWE'EN PARTYPleasant
Entertalnneiit Esleyed
\ by these vbo Attended.
The Hallowe'en party gived
?y the Daughters of the Conederacy
last Friday night at
Cellahan hotel to raise money
or the proposed Confederate
nonument to be erected here
>-as a pleasant and entertaining
fair.
The large billiard room of the
lotel, where the party was giv*
n. was tastefully and bpautiully
decorated for the occasion,
howing the handiwork of the
evoted women whose- hearts
re in this work. That their paient
and pains taking- effort
pas so poorly rewarded by the
Inn attendance is a reflection
jpon our town, which as a rule
sever ready to respond liberlly
to any worthy cause. In
his case we opine that the nonttendance
was due rather to
houghtlessness than lack of inerest
in the cause.
Hut to return to the party,
here were several features of
he evening's entertainment that
r'eie novel and enjoyable and,
ir'itltiil, well managed by the
oung ladies oil whom the reponsibilitv
rested for their
lanagement.
Une ot tlie most attractive
ents was that of the charming
it tie Hallowe'en witch, Miss
iunice Kennedy, who was dressd
in a most becoming witch's
ostume. In her tent the youths
nd maidens were given a picure
of their future lord or lady
nd a written sketch of their
lappiness or unhappiness in
larriage.
Another tent which caused
aughter and merriment was the
allery of famous paintings, of
fhich Miss Belle Ervin and Miss
lelen Scott were in charge.
