CONNECTICUT FOR TAFT
Swept the State As Completely As
Four Years Ago.
New Haven, Conn.,’ Nov. 4-—The
Republicans swept the state of Con
necticut in Tuesday's election fully as
completely, perhaps a little more
as four yeors ago, Taft carrying the
state by more than 30,000 plurality
and Congressman George 1 Lilley,
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor, going to office by about 15.000
plurality over Judge A. Heaton Rob
ertson, his opponent. All the five con
gressmen are Republicans piurali
ties equal to those of two years ago
The entire Republican state ticket is
elected, as usual, while the general as
sembly is more strongly Republican
than for a good many years. The
confidence of the Democrats was en-
tirely misplaced, for. their vote in all
directions showed a falling off as com-
pared with two and four years ago.
BRYAN CARRIES HOME STATE
Democrats Win In Nebraska By 10,000
Majority.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4—Nebraska bas
gone Democratic by a plurality of 10,
000 for Bryan and a plurality scarcely
less for Shallenberger, Democrat, for
governor. The result was a surprise
and a disappointment to Republican
managements, who, while admitting
the state was doubtful on the national
ticket, confidently expected their state
ticket to be elected. The tremendous
gain for Bryan in the city of Lincoln
was the wonder of the election. Not
only did Mr. Bryan reverse a Republi-
can plurality of 1600 in his home city,
but he carried it by a plurality of
something in excess of 600,
While returns are incomplete on
congressmen, indications are for the
election of Pollard (Rep.) in the First
district and Hinshaw (Rep.) in the
Fourth. Hitchcock (Dem.) wins in the
Second, and the Third, Fifth and the
Sixth are in doubt

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4.-—"1 do not de
sire to discuss the result of the elec.
tion at the present time,” sald Mr.
Bryan after the returns were received
here. “At a later date I shall probably
have something to say, but now I must
beg to be excused.” The Democratic
candidate's own city gave Mr. Taft a
majority. The result in Nebraska was
a great disappointment to Mr. Bryan.
Kansas Still Republican,
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 4. — Kansas is

year. Mr. Taft's majority in the state

Roosevelt carried the state by 0605,-

The returns received show a consid-
erable falling off in every county with
the exception of two. A heavy vote
was polled throughout the state, due
principally to the many warm contests
in the legislative districts. The Re.
publicans hold their own in the con
gressional districts, if they do not in-
crease th representation, There is
practically no change in the Republi

In Philadelphia the national ticket
carried the city by about 125,000 plu

5000, Two years ago it was 7118. Mr.
Taft received the returns at the home
of his brother, Charles P. Taft. When
his success at the polis was announced
the house was surrounded by a cheer

“the next president” Mr. Taft an
nounced that he would make a formal
statement in the near future.
Delaware Goes Republican.

gress, is elected by about the same
plurality, with the exception of Da.
vis, the Republican candidate for at.

feated by Andrew C. Gray, Democrat.
The successful candidate is a son of
Judge George Gray, and the popularity
of his father counted strongly for him
in all three of the counties.
