Republican control of the next national house of representatives is assured, with about the same proportion of strength between the parties. Returns from 355 congressional districts give the Republicans 196 members and the Democrats 159, with 36 missing. The majority necessary for control is 196. In the present house there are 223 JRepublican members and 166 Democrats. e :

With thirty-one United States senafors to be elected by legislatures the Republicans will retain control of both houses of congress, the precise figures being subject to change as final re turns arrive. 7 HUGHES WINS IN NEW YORK Taft Carries the State, lncludfil _ Greater New York, by 188,392. New York, Nov. s.—Party leaders are analyzing surprises fn the Empire state vote whereby Taft, Gov. Hughes

The ZLigonier BDanner.

svon signal victory. What was more surprising than anything else, Taft carried the Democratic stronghold of Greater New York by a plurality of 15,645. He also carried Erie county, another normally Demoeratic territory, by 7,000 but this is 5,000 less than the Roosevelt plurality there. Taft's plurality in the whole state is 188,392, and that for Hughes is 72,820. The legislature is again overwhelmingly Republican. The New York county plurality for Bryan is only about 11,000 with a few districts missing. Brooklyn went for Taft by more than 20,000. Queens and Richmond went for Bryan by small pluralities. Taft had 28,000 more votes than Hughes'in this county. The plurality in the whole city for Chanler for.governor is about 59,000. } : : The New York stete legislature will elect a successor to United States Senator T. C. Platt. It will stand: Senate, 34 Republicans and 17 Demoerats; assembly; 102 Republicans and 48 Demoecr:ats. This is a Republican gain of two senators and seven assemblvmen.

The state’s congressional representation will he divided, as at present, among the two parties, with one change, Hillquit, Socialist, being elected in the Ninth district in place of Riordan, Demoecrat. The next legislature will be Republican in both branches, insuring a Republican suecessor for Senator Thomas C. Platt, who will leave the senate in March.

New York and Buffalo are the only two large cities of the state that have gone Democratic. “I need not say -that I am greatly pléased with the result of -‘the eleeton,” declared Governor Hughes. “I felt certain that the people would indorse the administration of President Roosevelt by electing Secretary Taft, and I consider my own re-election as an approval of the policies pursued by the state administration during the past two years.” .

KEYSTONE STATE STANDS PAT Gives Taft a Big Majority; Nearly as ) Big as Roosevelt's. Philadelphia, Nov. s.—Pennsylvania has gone Republican by a majority of 400,000, the figures being as near as can be arrived at on the returns received. In 1904 Roosevelt carried the Istate by! 505,519, and two years ago Stuart, Republican, was elected governor by 48,435. This city, Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Altoona and other cities have given Mr. Taft pluralities, but Scranton, Wilkesbarre and -towns in which the so-called “labor” vote is strong have gone Democratic. , ;

. The election in Pennsylvania turned almost entirely on national issues, the highest state officer voted for being a judge of the superior court. For that office William D. Porter, Repukiican, has been elected«by a majority of 50,000 over Webster Grim, Democrat.

The vote in the country districts was, as usual, heavily Republican. The state’s representation will again. be Republican in the Sixty-first congress, the Democrats having gained only one seat. The figures will be as follows: Republicans, 24; Democrats, 8. ~

HARMON WINS IN OHIO Taft, However, Will Have a Plurality of 50,000 to 60,000. Cincinnati, 0., Nov. s.—With the heaviest vote in its history, William Taft’s native state gave him a slightly more than normal Republican plurality. but at the same time a Democrat, Judson Harmon, was elected governor. The two winners are residents of this city, and in Hamilton county they received strong support. The plurality of Taft in the state is from 50,000 to 60,000, while that of Harmon is only 5,000 or 6,000. Even these figures, however, may be changed by later returns, although the general fact of Harmon’s victory seems settled. ° The Democrats gainead In the congressional delegation, securing one of the Cincinnati congressmen, although Nicholas Longworth was re-elected. In the Third district, a factional fight among the Republicans aided in the election of the Democratic candidate. Interest in the general result and the slow count delayed knowledge of the legislative result, although it was known the Democrats made some gains. The next legislature elects a ‘successor to Senator Foraker. Delaware—Taft. Wilmington, - Del., Nov. s.—Taft’s plurality in Delaware is 3,000, and .the Republican state ticket, headed by Simeon S. Pennewill for governor and William H. Heald for congress, is 'electe(l by about the same plurality, with the exception that Davis, Republican candidate for attorney general, is probably defeated by Andrew C. Grey, Democrat. o 8

New Jersey—Taft.

Newark, N. J.,, Nov, s—The Republicans swept the state of New Jersey. Taft will have a plurality which will approach and may .exceed that of Roosevelt four years ago, when it was upward of 80,000. Seven of the ten congressmen chosen are Republicans and the Republicans will control both heuses of the state legislature. ‘ . Connecticut—Taft. G New Haven, Conn., Nov. s~The Republicans swept the state of Connecticut fully. as completely, perhaps a little more so, as four years ago, Taft carrying the state by more than

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1908.

$O,OOO plurality, and Congressman George L. Lilley, the Republicitu candidate for governor, going to office by about 15,000 plurality over Judge A. Heaton Robertson, his opponent. Ail the five congressmen are Republicans by pluralities equal to those of two years ago. - ' Rhode Island—Taft. : Providence, R. I, Nov. s.—Figures show a plurality of 16,000 for Taft in the state. This is about the plurality given Roosevelt in 1904. The Republican state ticket, headed by Aram J. Pothier, candidate for governor, has undoubtedly been successful. ThLe legislature will be Republican.

Massachusetts—Taft,

Boston, Nov. s.—Revised returns from Massachusetts give Taft 202,668, Bryan 136,184. Govérnor: Draper, Republican, 187,275; Vahey, Democrat, 141,275. Taft's plurality in the state is estimated -at about 70,000 and Draper’s at about 50,000.. The congressional delegation will stand 11 Republicans and 3 Democrats.

Kentucky—Bryan.

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 5—A Bryan plurality in Kentucky of 13,000; nine, and possibly ten, Democratic congressmen elected—a Republican loss of two seats—this is the story of the election in Kentucky which was marked by the polling of the largest vote in the history of the state. 1

New Hampshire—Taft.

Concord, N. H., Nov. s.—Taft carried the state by about 20,000 plurality. Henry B. Quinby, Republican candidate for governor, will have 4,000 plurality. The legislature will be strongly Republican in both houses and the two Republican congressmen were re-elected. . ’ Vermont—Taft. White River Junction, Vt., Nov. 5. —Complete returns from the state of Vermont give Taft 39,593; Bryan, 11,€BB, and Hisgen, 719. Taft’s plurality is 27,904. Four years ago Roosevelt had 40,677 and Parker 9,800, a Republican plurality of 30,877. : Maryland—Bryan. : - Baltimore, Nov. s.—Returns show that the slight Taft plurality has been wiped out and that Maryland has gone for Bryan. According to these figures Bryan leads by about 1,000. i - Maine—Taft. ¢ Portland, Me.,, Nov. s—Taft and Sherman were given a plurality of 32,000 in Maine, out of a total vote for the two leading parties of 103,000.

j BRYAN SLEEPS WELL ¥ Greets His Callers with a Smile and Looks Over the Morn- { ’ ing Papers. . Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.— Although it was after midnight \v};én\ e actually went to bed, William/ J. Bryan was uap early in the morning. So far as appearances went there was nothing about his manner to indicate the disappointment which he must have felt over the result of the election. He greeted his (:aljiers with a smile and scanned the morning papers for news from states from which no definite returns had been received.

“Before making any statement,” he said, “I want to get the actual results in OkLio, Indiana and Kansas.” For some time during the morning Mr. Bryan talked the situation over with the Rev. Father John Nugent of Des Moines, la., one of his stanchest friends, who was a house guést over night. The two men took a brisk walk to the trolley station, where Father Nugent boarded a car for downtown. . : “Father slept like a baby,” said Mrs. Leavitt, the Nebraskan’s eldest daughter, who still was clinging to the hepe that some report would come which would matarially change the situation. She was in a cheerful mood, as were all the other members of the family. There were no absentees, however, from the breakfast table when the former candidate with bowed head offered up his thanks for the blessings wahich had been bestowed upon him, ; Taft Much Gratified. Cincinnati, 0., Nov. s.—*“l believe 1 am elected by the business men of the country, Democratic as well as Republican; that I received my share of the labor vote and that the farmers generally stood by me. lam very -much gratified.” William H. Taft was sitting in the library of Lis temporary home, the C. P. Taft residence, in the morning when he made the foregoing declaration. He added: “In my own state and Indiana the result was affected very much by the loeal liquor question, and it is difficult to figure out just how it operated. The sweeping vietory in New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut is especially gratifying to me.” e Whnfi Roosevelt Says. Washington, Nov. 5. — President Roosevelt gave his interpretation of the victory of the Republican party at the polls. “This administration,” he said to the newspaper men he received in his office, “bas meant a ;‘lteady effort and progress which ‘should never be allowed to deviate into an unwise radicalism on the one hand or into an unwise conservatism on the other. The nomination of Mr. Taft was a triumph over reactionary ‘censervatism and his election was a triumph over unwise and lmm radicalism.” : G

JAMES S. SHERMAN, (Vice President-Elect of the TUnited States.) : stgte by a plurality approximating 70,(Xh Taft carsied the state by 175,000 plurality. ; ‘ ' ! Illinois carried the proposition to issue $20,000,000 deep waterways bonds ‘and to amend the banking laws. © The failure of the Lorimer and Yates forces to - deliver the vote against Deneen beat Stevenson. Deneen was beaten in Chicago by about 10,000, but made up. largely for that in the country towns. It is estimated that Steveuson’s' plurality in Cook county will be less than 10,000, Six Democrats for Congress.

The state- will return nineteen Republican members of congress, according to present returns, the Democrats winning in six districts. ; The legislature again is Republican. With twenty hold-over Republican senators the majority party will have forty-one members in the upper branch to ten Democrats, the Republicans having elected twenty senators to five Democrats. Two districes are still in doubt. Of these it -is probable that one will elect a Republican and one a Democrat. | : - Two districts are in doubt as to the election for the house of representatives, but estimating these the returns show the election of 88 Republicans, 63 Democrats, and 2 Prohibitionists.

Insures Hopkins for Senator.

This will give the Republicans on joint ballot for the election of United States senators, 129 votes to 73 for the Democrats, 2 for the Prohibitionists—a majority of 54. All Senator A. J. Hopking has to do to succeel himself in the United States senate is to secure th'e votes of his own party in the legislature. One important change which the returns from the legislative districts indicate is the probable defeat of State Senator Orville S. Berry in the ThirtySecond district. He seems to Lave been defeated by James F. Gibson, Democratic candidate, whose home, as is Mr. Berry’s, is Carthage. -

Wayman Defeats Kern in Chicago. John E. W. Wayman, the Republican candidate for state’s attorney, defeated Jacob J. Kern, the Democratic candidate, by more than 40,000 votes. - The election of Wayman crowned the sweeping victory won by the Republican . candidates for county offices all along the line. The candidacy of William Street, the Prohibitionist to whom the alleged reformers and the disgrunted Republicans attempted to swing the election, flattened out in a dismal failure. He polled to the neighborhood of 35,000 votes, but they made only a drop in the bucket. : Cannon Re-Elected. Vermilion county, the home of Speaker Cannon, has gone 6,000 to 7,000 Republican, with Speaker Cannon running slightly ahead of the ticket and Deneen running behind the head 'of the ticket. The result was something of a surprise even to the friends of Mr. Cannon. The fight made against him by various church organizations, the AntiSalocn league, and organized labor, coupled with the fact that the Demoerats had for the first time since 1863 a complete organization in this district, led the Republicans to believe

that Mr, Cannon’s plurality would not be over 3,000, : MISSOURI VERY CLOSE Hadley Is Leading Cowherd for Gov--5 ernor of the State. St. Louis, Nov. s.—Missouri, which apparently at 'fivrst had gone Democratic by a large majority, is still in doubt on all except the national ticket. The expected plurality of 35,000 for Bryan has been cut by late returns from St. Louis, and from the country precincts indicate that the vote is close and that the plurality may not exceed 3,000 or 4,000 either way. The complexion of the next legislature, which will elect a successor to United States Senator William J. Stone, also is in doubt, and the Republicans hope 'to control that body on joint ballot. . Herbert S. Hadley is leading Willfam S. Cowherd by 15,042 votes for the governorship, according to returns from forty-nine counties, including Kansas City and St. Louis. Practically the same precinets gave, Stone a lead of 9,595 over Folk for the Democratic nomination for United States senator. .

- CUMMINS WINS IN lOWA Governor Is Elected United States Senator—Hepburn Defeated. Des Moines, la., Nov. s.—The entire Republican state ticket is elected by pluralities ranging from 50,000 to 60,000. Taft’s plurality in the state will be 57,000... Governor Cummins, for United States senator, has won by an overwhelming majority. Returns from nearly every county in the state show his election over Lacey by at least 25,000. The complexion of the next legislature will be progressive Republican. :

Congressman Hepburn admits that he has been defeated by W. D. Jamieson. Congressman Hepburn had been a member of the lower house of congress for sixteen yearS. He declined to make a statement as to what he attributed his defeat.

Kansas—Taft. 4 Topeka, Kan., Nov. s.—The Republicans claim 30,000 plurality for their state ticket and Taft, and the Democrats concede 20,000. Attorney General Fred S. Jackson,” who was opposed by the liquor interests, leads the ticket. The Democrats made inroads on the Republican majority in the legislature, but the election of Joseph L. Bristow, Republican, as United States senator is-assured. - All of the eight Republican congressmen were reelected. Colorado—Clouded. Denver, Nov. 5.-—Although leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties claim Colorado, there is no definite information upon which to base such claims. Complete returns from only thirteen of the 146 precincts in Denver give Bryan a plurality of 631 over Taft. This apparent Democratic lead is no surprise, as these thirteen precincts are in strong Democratic wards. From the state returns are just as incomplete. ,

Oklahoma—Bryan.

Gauthrie, Okla., Nov. s.—Oklahoma has continued loyal to the Democratic party, but the majority has been reduced materially, and Bryan’s lead i 3 only 25,000. The five members of congress, four Democratic and one Republican, "have bég’n re-elected. The legislature is tworthirds Democratie, insuring the re/eélection of TUnited States Senator Thomas: P. Gore, the blind orator.

Wisconsin—Taft.

Milwaukee, Nov. s.—Taft has carried the state by a plurality of 75,000 and will receive Wisconsin’s electoral vote of 13. Governor Davidson, Republican, and the state ticket have been re-elected. The Republicans elect ten congressmen and the "Democrats one. The legislature, which elects a United States senator, is Republican.

Nebraska—Bryan.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. s.—Nebraska is Democratic by a plurality of mearly 10,000, both for Bryan and Shallenberger, governor. ‘The tremendous gain for Bryan in the city of Lincoln was the sensation of the election. Not only did Mr. Bryan reverse a Republican plurality of 1,600 in his home city, but he carried it by a plurality of something in excess of 600.

Michigan—Taft.

Detroit, Mich., Nov. bs.—Both seetions of this divided state have gone Republican, the total plurality for Mr. Taft being 100,000, a Republican loss of 127,715 since 1904. Governor Fred M. Warner, Republican, was given a hot fight by Hemans, his opponent, Both committees are claiming the election of their candidate.

West Virginia—Bryan.

Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. s.—The Register claims the election of Bennett, Democrat, for governor by 12,000 on the basis of the Associated Press compilations of precinct returns, while the Intelligencer claims Glasscock, Republican, successful by at least 10,000 Figures indicate a smail Bryan plurality. ;

Washington—Taft.

Seattle, Wash.,, Nov. s.—Taft has carried Washington by 45,000 and Samuel Cosgrove, Republican candidate for governor, will duplicate the Taft plurality. The entire Republican state ticket is elected. .. The election of Wesley L. Jones to succeed Levi Ankeney as United States senator is as-

Utah—Taft. : Salt Lake City, Nov. s.—Taft has carried the state by 20,000 plurality. Spry, the Republican candidate for governor, *was heavily cut by the American party voters in Salt Lake county, but his plurality in the state will run close to 12,000. The legislature will undoubtedly be Republican. Minnesota—Taft.. "Bt. Paul, Minn.,, Nov. s.—Returns show Governor Johnson’s re-election by a majority of 10,000 to 15,000. The cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth gave Johnson a plurality of about 20,000 over his Republican opponent, J. F. Jacobson, Taft's plurality will be between 80,000 and 100,000.

Texas—Bryan.

Austin, Tex., Nov. s.—William H. Taft did not make as good a showing in this state as President Roosevelt, who polled 51,242 votes in 1904. The vote this year is approximately as follows: Bryan, 220.000; Taft, 20,000. Thomas M. Campbell, Democrat, has been re-elected governor.

Florida—Bryan.

Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. s.—Owing to a long ballot and a slow count the exact rlsult of the election in Florida will not be known for some time. Bryan has carmried the state, however, by about 20,000, and all three Democratic congressmen were elected.

Oregon—Taft.

Portland, Ore., Nov. s.—Returns from nearly every .county in the state indicate a plurality of 24,000 for Taft. He will carry every county with pluralities ranging from 100 to about 8,000. The Socialist, Prohibition and Independence parties polled about 10,000 votes. e

Georgia—Taft.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 5.— Although Georgia gave Bryan a substantial plurality of about 20,000, Republican gains 'were shown through the state. All the Democratic congressmen were re-elected and the re-election of Senator Clay, Democrat, is assured.

South Dakota—Bryan.

Canton, S. D., Nov. s.—South Dakota gave Taft a plurality of about 23,000. Republicans made a clean sweep of the state on the national and state tickets. They elected both congress-men-at-large and will have a big majority in the next legislature. °

South Carolina—Bryan.

Oolumbia, 8. C., Nov. s.—Soutk Carolina gives Bryan 50,000 to 60,000 majority, while the state and congressional tickets are overwhelmingly Democratic. The Socialists and Independence party pelled a small vote. Nevada—Doubtful. Reno, Nev., Nov. s.—Twenty-five completed precinets out of 210 in Nevada give Bryan, 822; Taft, 748; Debs, 850; Chafin, 142; Hisgen, 24. The returns are slow and much doubt is expressed as to the outcome. Montana—Taft. 2 Helena, Mont., Nov. s.—From reports at hand, which come from strong Dgmocratic territory, Taft has carried the state, but Governor Norris, Democrat, will be re-elected, having shown strength in the northen counties. Idaho—Taft. Boise, Idaho, Nov. s:—Taft has carried the state by more than 20,000, and J. H. Brady (Rep.) for governor and the entire Republican ticket has been elected -by a majority of 7,000. California—Taft. San Francisco, Nov. 5.— Returns show clearly that Taft has carried California by a vote which will fall only slightly below that which Roosevet polled four years. ago.: Taft's plura_.lkgty will be fully 75,000. ? North Dakota—Taft. ‘Fargo, N. D., Nov. s.—The state 1s safely Republican except:for the goyernorship, 'which is decidedly in doubt. Congressman Marshall probably will be elected United States senator by the Republican legislature.

Inteanational Live Stock Exposition at Chicago, Nov. 28 to Dec. 10,190

The organization of the international live stock exposition at Chicago was one of the most i%portant events in the history of the development of the live stock industry.

In December, 1907, there welle on exihibition at this great show 7,523 of the finest meat and draft animals in the world, contributed by 22 states, one territory and four foreign countries. : ] These animals were eutere;d in competition for more than ‘2,4ooLpremiums, aggregating = over §575,000, offered in upward of 600 classes of cattle, horses, sheep and swine, besides packing house and other jnteresting exhibits, ail of which were viewed by Tully 40),000 visitors from nearly every state in the union and foreign countries. » r No such object lesson in everything which pertains to excellencein the breeding, feeding, market, man - ufacturing and distributing of animals and animal products was ever previously. placed before the producers and consumerts in this or any other country. : e

The success of this great annual show has awakened much interest both at home and abroad, and a marked improvement in American flocks and herds has been the result.

The object of this movement is to secure better animals for breeding, marketing and exporting, thus encouraging greater consumption of American animals and meats at Home and abroad. - |

The *‘lnternational” has been a triumphant success from its veiy‘-‘in--ception, and each of its series of exhibitions has been an improvement over all preyious shows. | The next great exhibition will be beld Nov. 28 to Dec. 10, 1908 in the international amphitheatre and about twenty adjoining buildings at the union stock yards, Chicago. Official correspondence with prominent breeders and feeders throughout the country demonstrates that the next show will undoubtedy be most magnificent and successful one of the series, with a larger foreign representation than ever before. Competition bids fair to be most spirited in all breeds, and new features and attractions will be added to the many heretofore included. No progressive farmer, feeder or breeder can afford to miss this leading annual event. : :
