Grlera' own county of Laurcnta polled only 73 votes for Tsft. Four year* ago Roosevelt received 390 votes In Lau rent, and eight yearo ago McKinley had 395 In the same cotjnty. Bryan's plurality over Taft tbi.* yoar is 32,447, which was only 1,694 under the democratic vote four years ago.

This acounts In a large meas ure to the fine showing male by the Republicans. Four and eight years ago the Republicans captured only 11 counties but this year they got 27.
