TUFT ELECTED PRESIDENT; BRYAN 15 AGAIN DEFEATED THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WILL HAVE AT LEAST 319 VOTES IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE—OHIO AND INDIANA ELECT DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS, OHIO, ILLINOIS AND NEW JERSEY ARE IN THE REPUB LICAN COLUMN—REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE A MAJORITY IN THE NATIONAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. New York. —The membership of the electoral college which will choose the next president of the United States remained in dispute when the •official counters .in Marylnad aban doned their task for the night Thurs day. According to thr> best informa tion obtainable the number of Repub lican and Democratic electors will be ■determined by a division of Maryland's ■eight votes. Though the splitting of a state's elec toral vote is unusual, it will be re called that in 1904 Maryland elected ■one Republican and seven Democratic electors. Missouri appears to be safely for Taft, to whom the latest returns give a plurality of 4,067. Conceding Mis souri to Taft and leaving Maryland to be split between him and Bryan, the figures show 319 Republican electors assured and 150 Democratic. Latest congressional returns indi cate that the next house of represen tatives will be composed of 216 Repub licans and 175 Democrats, a majority for the Republicans of 41. The following table shows the elec toral vote as indicated by returns up to Thursday night: State Tuft Bryan A laba ma ll Arkansas 9 •California 10 Colorado 5 Connecticut ~ 7 Delaware S ■— Florida a ■Georgia l3 Idaho 3 Illinois 27 • Indiana 15 lowa 13 Kansas 10 Kentucky l3 Jjoulslana !)

West Virginia 7 Wisconsin 13 Wyoming 3 Total 319 156 Taft's plurality in the state of New York is 203,495, more than 28,000 in •excess of Roosevelt's plurality of four years ago. Gov. Charles E. Hughes was re-elected in New York state by 71.150. The United States senate will retain its present Republican majority. Judge Taft has a majority in the city of New York, the first time the big city has given its vote to a Republican jiresidentiai candidate. The Republican pluralities fell off heavily in the middle west in a manner surprising to the Republican mana gers. Representatives Payne of New York and Dalzell of Pennsylvania have been re-elected and the house of represen tatives probably will continue under its •old regime. Mr. Payne will have charge of the new tariff bill in the ex tra session, which Mr. Taft will call Immediately after March 5 next. OHIO. Cincinnati. —At Tuesday's election Ohio polled a vote that sur passed the million ballots deposited four years ago, making a new high record for Ohio voters. Taft carried Ohio by probably over 70,000, while Harmon won by about 20,000. Such figures as have been re ceived on minor candidates, although meager, indicate the probable victory of ail other Republicans on the state ticket. it is reasonably sure that the three constitutional amendments have tailed because they did not in the aggregate reach anywhere near the required ma jority of all \ot.\-i cast at this election, lack of interest thus having cost the state considerable money without any return in the way of settling the; amendments Columbus, -l.ate.st returns show that Curl Anderson, Democrat, has beat» n Congressman Grant 10. Mouser in tie Thirteenth district by about 2,000 votes. This makes a gain of four con gressmen in Ohio for the Democrats. The delegation will stand 12 Republi cans to nine Democrats. The election of u Kcpublicuu to sue ceed Joseph B. Foraker to tlio United States senate is assured by returns in dicating that the Republicans have car ried the general assembly by a sub stantial joint majority. A proposed amendment to the constitution provid ing for a session of the legislature in January next failed of passage. When this became known, it was said that the Democratic governor-elect, Judson Harmon, would have the opportunity to name a senator to serve from the expiration of Senator Foraker's term in March next until the following Jan uary, when the next regular session of the assembly would be held. However, it was disclosed Wednesday that the Republicans plan to ask Gov. Harris to call a special session before Mr. Har mon's term begins, for the selection of Foraker's successor. This could bo called since the term of the legislature begins January 1, ten days before that of the new governor. A special ses sion some time during January is con sidered essential, because of the ex piration of appropriations. Columbus, O. —Gov. Harris announc ed Thursday that he will call an extra session of the legislature. According to a dispatch from Cam bridge, George White, Democrat, con cedes the lection of James Joyce, Re publican, to congress in the Fifteenth district by 52. Congressman Albert Douglas, Republican, telephoned to Co lumbus that he had carried the Eleventh district by 1,200. The Democrats gained in the con gressional delegation, securing one of the Cincinnati congressmen, although Nicholas Longworth (Rep.) won in his district. In the Third district a fac tional fight among the Republicans aided in the election of the Democratic candidate. Returns so far in show that the Re publicans gained a congressman in the Sixth district by the election of Jesse Taylor over Matt R. Denver, present Democratic member. The Republican claim is at least 16 members in the next Ohio congressional delegation. Cleveland. —The count of the votes east in Cuyahoga county was more than half finished at 10 o'clock this morning. The ratio of Republican gains shown in the early returns of Tuesday night is maintained through out. Taft has carried the county by possibly 15,000. The whole republican county ticket has been elected, with the exception of Charles P. Salen. Mansfield. —Returns -indicate that Bryan will carry Richland county by 700 and Harmon by 200. Sharp, Demo cratic candidate for congress, will car ry the county by about 500, and the vote for state senator is close. The entire Democratic ticket appears to be elected, and Kuebler, "wet" Demo cratic candidate for representative, is a winner over Baxter, "dry" Republi can candidate. Steubenville. —Taft carries Jeffer son county by 2,000, Harris by 1,900. Hollingsworth, Republican, is elected in the Sixteenth district by 4,000. Du vall, Republican for senate, and Gil son Republican for representative, are elected. County ticket is elected. ILLINOIS. Chicago.—The Republican national an • state tickets gained a complete victory in Illinois, although the plurali ties will probably fall short of those obtained by the party in the campaign of 1904. Taft has carried the state by approximately 170,000 votes, although it will be some time Thursday before the exact figures can be obtained. Charles S. Deneen, Republican candi date for governor, ran far behind the national ticket, but has been elected by a plurality of about 100,000 over Adlai E. Stevenson, his Democratic op ponent. Deneen's greatest losses were suffered in Cook county, which is his home. Stevenson, Democratic candidate for governor, carried Chicago by about 8,000. He lost heavily, however, in the state outside of Cook county. The legislature, which is to select a 1 successor to Senator Albert J. Hop kins, will be strongly Republican, and it is likely that Hopkins will be re elected. Danville, 111. —Joseph C. Cannon was re-elected to congress from, the Eighteenth Illinois district by a plur ality considerably above the normal. Returns are incomplete, but enough figures have been obtained to show that he will probably have a plurality of at least 10,000. The result was a HUfpriso even to the friends of Mr. Cannon. NEBRASKA. Lincoln. —Returns on Tuesday's elec tion in Nebraska are far from com pli te ,l)Ut seein sufficiently definite |o confirm the first report that the demo crats won a sweeping victory. While the pluralities for the victorious party CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12, 1908 aro not. phenomenally large they are complete, th? state ticket ami candi dates for congress In most instances running parallel with Bryan, who was expected to lead the ticket by several thousand. Complete returns from a third of the counties and scattering precinct returns from most of there- I mainder show that Bryan will have I a plurality of 10,000 votes and Shallen berger, Democrat for governor, and the | rest of the Democratic ticket will have i about 9,000. But the Democratic victory does not | stop there. Five of Nebraska's six con- J gre -smen are Democratic, only ore Re publican, Hinshaw in the Fourth dis | trict, escaping defeat by 700 votes, al though his district gave Bryan a plur ality. The greatest surprise of all is the overwhelming majority the Demo crats will have in the legislature. CONNECTICUT. 1 New Haven. —The Republicans swept j Connecticut in Tuesday's election fully as completely and perhaps a little more so, as four years ago, Taft carry ing the state by more than 30,000 plur ality and Congressman George L. Lll ley, the Republican candidate for gov ernor, going into office by about 15,000 plurality over Judge Robertson, his op ponent. All the 'lve congressmen are j Republican by pluralities equal to i those of two years ago. The entire Re ! publican state ticket is elected as usual, while the general assembly is | more strongly Republican than for a j good many years. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia.—At 1 a. m., with 18 counties still to hear from, the indica tions are that Taft has carried Penn sylvania by a plurality that will be nearer 400,000 than 300,000. The re turns received show a considerable falling off in every county with the exception of two. The Republicans ; hold their own in the congressional j districts if they do not increase their representation. There is practically no change in the Republican repre sentation in the legislature. In Phil adelphia the national ticket carried the city by about 125,000 plurality. MISSOURI. St. Louis. —The electoral vote of Mis souri is in doubt, late returns from the city of St. Louis and from rural re gions reducing the lead held by Bryan so that it is impossible to say definite ly who has carried the state. The complexion of the next legislature is also In doubt, though the indications are that the Democrats will control it by four or five votes on joint ballot. This would assure the re-election of William J. Stone to the United States senate. The Republican senatorial nomination is in doubt between Rich ard C. Kerens and John C. McKinley. The Republicans have apparently elected Herbert S. Hadley for governor by at least 8,000 plurality and the probabilities are that he has carried the entire state ticket with him. INDIANA. Indianapolis.—A radical change in Indiana's representation in the nation al house of representatives was the most striking featuro of Tuesday elec tion. The latest unofficial returns give the Democratic party 11 members and the Republicans two. This is a gala of seven members for the Democrats. William H. Taft carried the state for president by about 8,000. Thomas R. Marshall and the entire Democratic state ticket are probably elected by a plurality of 15,000. As the returns come in, Marshall's plurality increases, while the vote on the Republican na tional ticket decreases. The legislature is probably Demo cratic, which means that a Democratic successor to Senator James A. Hem enway will probably be chosen. MARYLAND. Baltimore. —With the official vote of one-third of Baltimore city and 21 out of 23 counties complete and estimating the missing districts on the basis of the unofficial returns, Taft had an apparent plurality Thursday night of 170. The indications were that seven Bryan and one Taft electors had been chosen. KANSAS. Topeka.—Returns from 59 counties, complete and incomplete, have been received. These give Taft 22,024 and Bryan 16,417. Late returns are reduc ing the estimated plurality of Taft and of Stubbs, Republican, for governor. Stubbs' plurality is placed at 20,000 to 25,000 and Taft's about 3,000 more. The election of Joseph L. Bristow to the United States senate is assured. MINNESOTA. St. Paul.—lt is conceded by all par ties that John A. Johnson has been re elected governor. The St. Paul Dis patch, Republican, concedes Johnson's 1 election over Jacobson by a majority of from 10,000 to 12,000. Taft carried j the state by probably 80,000. IOWA. Des Moines. —Incomplete returns in dicate that Taft has carried lowa by a ! plurality of front 40,000 to 50,000. This is a tremendous falling off from the Roosevelt plurality of 158,000 of four years ago, but it represents only a slight falling off from the normal plur ality. The entire Republican state ticket is elected, probably by about the same plurality. Gov. A. B. Cum mins probably carried the Republi can senatorial primary over Maj. J. F. Laeey by a plurality of 40,000 to 50,- 000. MICHIGAN. Det oit.—With Tuft and Sherman carrying the state by a large majority, generally estimated at about 100,000, the successful candidate for governor of Michigan is not known Returns from the stati are slower than they have been for years. I.uwton T, Hein uiil, the Democratic candidate for governor, on the returns available at 1:30 o'clock, has an undisputed lead over Gov. P. M. Warner, but the Re publican leaders assert that the late returns will overcome this lead. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston. —William H. Taft and Eben S. Draper, Republican candidate for governor, carried Massachusetts, the former by about 120,000 and the latter by about 60,000 in the light of returns from nearly three-quarters of the state. On the same returns it was evident that the Massachusetts congressional delegation remained unchanged, 11 Re publicans and 3 Democrats. The Republicans also elected their state ticket and the usual majority of members of both branches of the legis lature. NEW JERSEY. Trenton.—Revised returns give Taft a plurality in New Jersey of about 70,- 000. These figures, as the later re turns come in, may possibly be in creased to meet the plurality given Roosevelt four years ago, which was 80,598. COLORADO. Denver. —Estimated pluralities by counties, based on incomplete returns, indicate that Bryan and the entire Democratic state ticket, headed by John F. Shafroth for governor, carried Colorado with pluralities in the neigh borhood of 5,000. The Democrats prob ably will control the legislature by a narrow margin, insuring the election of Charles J. Hughes, jr., as United States senator to succeed Senator Tel ler, Hughes having been indorsed for the position by the state convention. DELAWARE. Wilmington.—Republican State ; Chairman Dupont announced late Tues- I day night that the plurality for Taft I will be 3,000. The state ticket will | have the same plurality with the ex ception of Davis for attorney general : who, he stated, will be elected by 2,400. j All three counties of Delaware gave Republican pluralities and the next legislature will be Republican. VERMONT. White River Junction.—Complete re turns from the state of Vermont give Taft 39,592; Bryan 11,688 and Hisgen | 719. Taft's plurality is 27,904. Pour ! years ago Roosevelt had 40,677 and Parker 9,800, a Republican plurality of 30,677. The Prohibition vote this year shows a gain for the entire state of 45 votes over four years ago. WEST VIRGINIA. Wheeling.—While fuller figures Wed nesday showed that Taft had carried West Virginia by a safe plurality of several thousand, the state ticket may not have gone through with him, Ben nett, Democrat for governor, having the better of the argument in probably half the state. On these figures Ben nett had more than 1,000 plurality, but | the figure was so small that the Repub licans found satisfaction in the possi j ble overturning of iliat amount and they claimed the entire state ticket. DELAWARE. Wilmington.—The returns from rural I New Castle county and from Kent anil j Sussex, the two lower counties in Dela ! ware, are unusually slow in coming in, j but enough information has been re ; ceived to show that the entire Republi | can state ticket, with the exception of Davis for attorney general, has been elected. Gray, Democrat, for the latter office has probably been chosen by | 2.000 plurality. Botli parties claim the I legislature. CALIFORNIA. San Francisco. —California probablj I gave Taft a plurality of more than 60,- | 000 votes and in addition re-elceted all ! eight Republican congressmen and jchose a Republican legislature. Judge i Frank 11. Dunne was the only Demo cratic judge elected in San Francisco and he was victorious in spite of a vig | orous campaign against him by those : who objected to his rulings while try ing the Ruef and Schmitz graft cases. OKLAHOMA. Oklahoma City.—Complete returns from 40 counties in central and north ern Oklahoma, received by Chairman Thompson of the Democratic state cen tral committee, give Bryan a plurality of 13,000. The counties yet to be heard from are largely Democratic. These probably will increase Bryan's plural ity to 18,000. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee.—Taft and Sherman have carried Wisconsin with a plural ity estimated at 75,000, and Gov. David son (Rep.) has been re-elected by a plurality close to Taft's. The Republi cans have elected nine out of 11 con gressmen, the Democrats one, with the Fourth district in doubt. The legisla ture will be overwhelmingly Republi can. IDAHO. Boise. —Meager reports showing only the trend of the voting indicate that Taft carries the state by 20,000 and the election of the entire Republican state ticket. Brady for governor should have 8,000 plurality on the basis of present indications. Legislature is in doubt. MAINE. Portland. —Maine gave Taft an esti mated plurality of 31,500. John P. Swasey and Frank E. Guernsey, Re publicans, were chosen in the Second and Fourth congressional districts, re spectively, to fill short term vacancies. KENTUCKY. Louisville.—Bryan's plurality in Kentucky 13,000; eight and possibly nine Democratic congressmen elected, a Republican loss of two seats; this is the probable story of the election in Kentucky. MONTANA. Butte. —Advices from throughout Montana indicate that Taft carried the state by 3,000 votes. Charles N. Pray, Republican, is re-elected to congress by about 4,000. The governorship is still in doubt. CONGRESS. Washington, D. C. The indica tions are that the Republicans will have about a' two-thirds majority in the United States senate as the result of Tuesday's elections, or practically the same as at present. Of the 92 members of that body, 61 hold over, leaving only 31 places to fill. Of these 19 are Republicans and 12 Democrats. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Maryland already have chosen Demo | crats and Kentucky and Vermont Re ] publicans. The other senators to | whom successjrs are to be elected are: Republicans—Allison, lowa, who will be succeeded by a Republican; An keney, Washington; Brandegee, Con necticut; Gallinger, New Hampshire; Ilansbrough, North Dakota; Heyburn, Idaho; Hopkins, Illinois; Kittridge, South Dakota; Long, Kansas; Pen rose, Pennsylvania; Perkins, Califor nia; Piatt, New York; Smoot, Utah; Stephenson, Wisconsin, all of whom 1 will be succeeded either by themselves [or other Republicans. Democrats —Clay, Georgia; Gary, | South Carolina; (lore, Oklahoma; Mil ton, Florida; Overman, North Caro- I Una, all of whom will bo succeeded by j Democrats. The only senatorships ! remaining in doubt are those of Ohio, j Indiana and Oregon, which are now j represented by Senators Foraker, Hem < nway and Fulton, Republicans, and i Colorado, Missouri and Nevada, repre j sented by Senators Toller, Stone and ; Newlands, Democrats. iiyili (j: i m ill wfv ISII " \l How many American women in lonely homes to-day long for this blessing to come into their lives, and to be able to utter these words, but because of some organic derange ment this happiness is denied them.
