TAFT 314; IRYAN TB9; IN ELECTOR! COLLEGE,
REPUBLICANS SHOW SLIGHT LOSS II CONGRESS.
- BRYAN PROBABLY CARRIED NEBRASKA
New York, Nov. 4.—At 1 p. m. the
returns practically assure wu.’Iam
Howard Taft 314 votes In the elector
al college, while William Jennings
Bryan will receive 169.
Bryan carried the sc-call*-! Solid
South with the exception of Mary
land, but only two oyier states, Ne
braska and Nevada.
New York, Nov. 4.—Although Bryan
carried the Solid South, Taft made a
greater advance over any republican
vote polled there since the mconstruc-
tion days.
In the manufacturing and mining
states where the labor unjoin were
strong, there Is little or no indication
that President Gompers of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, aided Bryan
to any great extent.
Bryan seems to have carried N
braska, Missouri and Kentucky, wit
Oklahoma and the Solid South mak
ing up the rest of the Bryan quarto
with probably tho addition of Neva
da.
Speaker Cannon was re-elcctcd a
member of Congress and the next
hous'c will contain 221 republicans, a
loss of only 3, and 170 democrats. The
republican majority of 5J will be de
creased by 6, but still there is a very
good sized working majority.
Tho complexion of the New York
State legislature indicates that tile
republicans hava 62 members while
the democrats have 30, a gain of 2
for the republicans. A republican
will succeed Senator Platt, of New
York.
Taft seems to have swept the Pa
cific and Rocky Mountain states with
the possible exception of Nevada.
Johnson, Democrat, in Minnesota,
survived the Taft landslide, and was
elected by 30,000.
gives Taft a plurality of 30,000.
