THE STATE ELECTION.

Indianapolis News (Rep. If The people of Indiana are to be •engratulated on the election of Mr. Marshall as Governor of the state. He is a man of character and ability. That he will administer the office to which he has been chosen solely In the interest of the people, we do not doubt. An attempt was made to convince the voters that he was the mere tool of the liquor interests. Yet his only offense was in standing on the platform of his party, and In refusing to accept the Republican local option theory when the issue was intensified by the calling of the special session of the Legislature. But the people were not Influenced by such arguments. What is more important, they saw that there were other vital issues to be considered, and declined to accept the views of those who argued that everything would be lost if a special form of local option were not adopted. They saw, too, that the radical theory of temperance was rather forced on the Republican party and its candidate by the extremists, and that both candidate and party would be glad to be rid of it. Neither did sensible people take any stock in the silly twaddle *of W. D. Foulke that Mr. Marshall would debauch the State institutions. In short, the people took the Tbommon-sense view, and elected the better equipped man to the office of Governor. To those who had the good fortune to have a personal acquaintance with Mr. Marshall it seemed absurd to attempt to paint him as a whiskey candidate, as the slave of the brewers. The brewers, we verily believe, crippled his candidacy. Had it not been for their activity he would, in our opinion, have had a larger plurality than he actually received. Some good men on the Republican State ticket suffered defeat, but there never was any reason to think that there would be much discrimination in voting for State candidates. So the whole Democratic State ticket goes through. Possibly the result here may have Important consequences. ■ The Democratic party made a better showing in Indiana than in any other State in the Union. It is stronger today and better fitted to serve the public than at any time since 1892. There is a real unity which may mean much. Indiana Democrats, therefore, ought ♦o have much influence in the deliberations of the national party, ought possibly to be able to point the way to a reconstruction of the party on. progressive lines, and thus -eonceivably do something to give the people another political home than that offered by the Socialists, which today seems so inviting to many. But these larger questions may be left for future consideration.

We only say now that the Democratic party of Indiana, by virtue of Its great and well-deserved victory, ought to be able to exert a powerful Influence for good in the councils of the party. When it made an appeal to the whole people, as it did by the nomination of so excellent a man as Mr. Marshall, the people answered, as we trust they always will. Undier the leadership of the new Governor the party ought to thrive and prosper. We think that the victory of Tuesday is a tribute to the wisdom of a people who refused to be terrified by the ridiculous scare which seems to have swept other States, refused to be frightened out of doing what they conceived to be their duty by any appeal to their fears. The Democratic party of Indiana has a chance to serve the people and so to strengthen itself in their confidence.

POLICY IS ANNOUNCED

Proaident-Elect Tells Business Men What They May Look For from Him. TALKS AT A CLUB BANQUET ■ Ke Mercy for Men Who Sin Against the Statute. All Friendship for Those Who Conduct a Legitimate Business, No Matter How Large Its Operation/ Are.

Cincinnati, Nov. 6.—Speaking to the Cincinnati Commercial club, of which he has been a member for fifteen years, William Howard Taft brought every member of the club to his feet In bis address. “Every business man who la obeying the law may go ahead with all the energy In his possession^.every enterprise which 18 within the Minutes may proceed without fear of tnterfer ence from the. administration, when acting legally; but all Interests within the jurisdiction of the federal government may expect a rigid enforcement of the laws against dishonest methods,” was the keynote of what Taft said. They Rose as One Man. The speech created a profound impression among the substantial business men of the city, who are memben of the club which gave him the dinner, which had been arranged long before* the result of the election could be known, and* they arose as one man to the sentiments he expressed. The speech was preceded by words of friendship and neighborly felicitation on the part of the distinguished guest. Judge Taft told the human side of his campaign Been “Bossed” for Weeks.

“I luive been the subject of a coterie of bosses," he declared, with the greatest good humor, “which the demands of left me no duty but to respond to the tgjlls from 6 o’clock In the morning to midnight—to the calls of the populace—and if I did not respond the crowd, after one minute, made a mighty shout, ’Hurrah for Bryan.’ ” In beginning Taft admitted that it might not have l>een so easy to smile now if the telegrams of cnngratulatlon which pawed between Lincoln and Cincinnati had l>een originated in tills city instead of at the home of the Great Oomiuouer. In this he referred to Bry an’s telegram of congratulation which arrived yesterday.

THEN HE SPEAKS SERIOUSLY Tells His Hearers What His Poltcj is Going to Be. When the laugh had subsided Judge Taft proceeded. “Seriously.” said he. “the indications are already apparent •nd the hopes which I entertain are that the business communities and the: investors of lioth foreign nations and' among our i»eople will take heart In I carrying out the great enterprises which have been projected, and which 1 must lie carried to a determination • if I the country is to reach Its full meed I of prosperity aqd business standing, j “Btwincss meii are to be shown the lines of legality, and are to be directed ' in keeping within the lines of legality.' iwhlrii lines liave been emphasized during the last four years. Buslnem men ! shall know that they are to conform' to the laws upon the statute booksand| that no favors are to be expected for i those wjto Iweak the laws. This shall ■ be so that the men who conduct a legitimate business may understand that' tlie government Is back of them, and does not intend to do anything to interfere with their legitimate advancement.” After the a]tpisuse which met the declaration imd subsided Judge Taft said: "It is a question of the definite knowledge of the statutes and of their clear understanding wldcii slwill make the hmiest progress of our business possible. And that Is. in my lielief. all that Is necessary to make flint pro grees substanfhd and enduring. “1 the difficulties that will arise tn my new cares and I know that there will lie questions which will arise that I do not know of now, and that times will come when many of my friends here Will shake tlieir heads and say. ‘Poor Rill;' but all I ask Is for susjienstpn of judgment until the situation may be understood. Its decision will rest ypon the principles of Mnnd and honest business policies which I have outlined.” He told of the many policies which bad been dictated to him by the local comnoitteeiueii during ftie campaign, and talked of (be whole object of being president, which was to enforce the laws and give every honest endeavor a flair opportunity and. to warn with knowledge h’iU> prou«-< iite with vigor •very «ppareut effort to evade tlie taws and to affect prosperity by dishonest methods.,

WILL IT SPLIT AGAIN?

That Seems Probable in the Case of the Electoral Vote of Maryland. , ; Z THEBE 8 A VERY SMALL MARGIN Miieouri Has Gone for Taft—Hadley Elected Governor. X Deneen in Illinois Has His Vote Cut with a Meat Ax Democrats Gain Nine Members in the National House.

Baltimore. Nov. 6. —The latest development of the election situation Is that Bryan wilt get seven of Maryland’s electoral votes and Taft one. This name division between parties occurred in 1904. Chicago, Nov. 6.—The Republican party will, according to present returns from all < •vgrcssion.il districts in the United States, control the next national house of representatives by a majority of 41. The figures so far received show the election of 216 Republicans and 175 Democrats, a gain for the latter party of 9. The majorities is several districts are reported as extremely close, and It Is |>osslble that in a few Instances the official count may change the figures given in the foregoing.

States That are Divided. The states that send divided delegations are as follows: Illinois, Rep., 19; i Dem., 6. Indiana. Rep:, 2: Dem.. 11. lowa, Rep.. 10; Dem.; 1. Kentucky, Rep., 3: Dem.. R. Maryland, Rep.. 3; Dem.. 3. Massachusetts, Rep., 11; Dem.. 3. Minnesota. Rep., 8: Dem.. 1. Missouri, -Rep.. 6: Dem., 10. Nebraska, Rep.. 1; Deni.. 5. New Jersey, Rep.. 7; Dem..- 3. New York. Rep., 26; Dem., 11. North Carollnn. Rep., 3; Dem., 7. Ohio. Rep.. 12; Deni., 9-, Oklahoma. Rep.. 3; Den)., 2. Pennsylvania, Rep.. 27; Dem.. 5. Tennessee. Rep., 2; Dent., 8. Virginia. Hep.. 1; Dem., 9. Wisconsin. Rep., 10; Dem., 1. . In the Two Close States. | Tfil> situation as to the general ticket in Maryland and Missouri is clearing up.- Careful revision of the mioffleal returns from Maryland give Taft 210 plurality, and unless the official re • turns show miscounts the Maryland . vote will grt t<» Taft, there being one | other prolwibility—another divided delegation. The Democrats continue toj claim the state, however, in Missouri ; the latest returns give Taft 4.235 pluI rality, while Hudley,- Rep., for governj or has nearly 17.000 plurality. At tlie ' same time Stone leads Folk in the liemoi-ratic vote for senator by more J than IR.OOO plurality, while McKinley is more than 13,000 votes ahead of | Kerens for the Republican nomination to the same office. As the Democrats ' will probably control tlie legislature by i • small majority. Stone looks like the J next senaipu Ixoiis gave Taft j 13,374 over Rryhn. I

Klectoral Vote Not Certain. I The electoral vote, throwing out j Maryland and Missouri, where the pin ralitfes so far are so small as to possibly change either way by the official count, gives Taft 301. and Bryan 156. if both states finally the vote wilKstaijd: Taft 327; Bryan IM If Bryak gets both: Taft, :»1; Bryan, 182. If Maryland goes to Taft he will have 300; if he loses Maryland and wins Missouri he will have 319. If Maryland goes to Bryan be will have 164, and if he loses Maryland and gets Missouri he bave 184. TAFT CAPTURES MISSOURI - . . • • ■ .? * t* i. ■ l. Complete Returns Give Him * Fluratify of 4,233. St. Ixniia, Nov. 6.—Returns compiled for every county in Missouri give Taft a plurality over Bryan of 4,235. While reports are not in from every county yet the returha are full enough to make a Republican victory in this state mi the national ticket a certain

The plurality of Herbert S. Hadley,’ Republican, for governor, has reached 16,993. Whether he has carried with him the rest of the Republican state ticket has not yet been determined. He has run far ahead of his associates, however, in most of the 114 counties of the state, but the, Republican state committee insists that.the minor state candidates will receive pluralities no less than that given to Taft. The Democrats seem to be assured of control of the general assembly by 6 votes on joint ballot. In the bouse -the Republicans have 73 members and the Democrats 69. The senate, however. is Democratic by the ratio of 22 12. >’<»r United States senator Stone has n lead over folk of 18,829 for tlie Democratic nomination, and Kerens is behind McKinley about 15,000 for the Republican nomination. MARYLAND MAY BE SPLIT 4 State Continues To Be Clairfied by ■ Y' Both the Parties. Baltimore, Nov. 6.—-When the official counters of the vote in this state concluded their first day’s labor the electoral vote of the state remained in dispute. According to tby best information obtainable the propprtionate number of Republican and Democratic electors will be determined by a division of Maryland’s eight votes. It Is generally conceded, except by the rival leaders, that Maryland’s vote In the electoral college will be spilt. Neither of k the chairman of the two great parties will concede anything to the opposite side, however. Tfio official canvass of the vote xvas began and <-.,mpleteil in 19 out of 23 counties outside of Baltimore city. In , Baltimore it was but half finished when the board of canvassers suspended its labors at night. Until this count' is completed the result will remain in doubt. In some counties there was a ( wide diffetrnee in tbe- vote on presi- 1 dentist electors on liott tickets, which jnade the situation more complicated. 1 The canvassed portion of the Baltimore city vote showed a gain of 167 for Taft. This added to the unoffiicial! plurality gave him a lead of 1,967 in ! this city. DENE UN’S VOTE IN ILLINOIS It Is More Than 130,000 Behind Thai ot Judge Taft. Chicago. Nov. 6.—Owing to a strong fight made in the Republican party j Against Clmries S. Deneen for governor, tliy figbi being partly factional and partly because of alleged scandals lu the charitable institutions, Deneen’s vote is behind Taft’s more than 150,000. The «hole state Republican ticket is elected by larger majorities than Dencen’s. and his plurality over Stevenson is expected to lie Utile over, if not under. 20.(100. Tbe latest actual figures on rhe total vote of tbe state are as follows: Taft. 005.504: Bryan. 443,551; Deneen. 535.569: Stevenson. 511,638. (look county gave Stevenson a plurality of 15,397. The legislature xvill stand as follows: Senate?—Republican, 38;-Demo-crats, 13. House Republicans,. 89: Democrats. (Ki; Prolilbitionist. 1. Re publican majority’ on joint ballot. 50. There were two other questions before Illinois at the ek-ction —a proposal to issue $20,009,000 in bonds to aid the deep waterway project, and an amendment to the constitution relative to the banking laws. There is apprehension that the deep waterway project hns failed, 'if defeated it will be tin* down st ato vote that did It, as the Chicago and Cook county vote stood: Chicago. 253.306 for the issue, with 43,699 against; Cook county. 278.500 for and 40 t soo agnlnst.

A—Vi(id c Prefili dent-elect Sherman has forwarded to Albany for tiling with the secretary of state a statement of his expenses iu the campaign just closed. In fats cocnmunlcatlou Sherman expresses tbe opinion that he is not, as a matter of fact, obliged to make a statement. He files one, however, in order that there may be no question about it. The
