slephone No. 55
A glorious Democratic victory.
Putnam County Democrats ‘did nobly.”
The Democrats made good gains but they wouldn’t do.
We wonder where Charley Zeis will get his endorsement for recommendation for postmaster.
Think of it. Morgan County went Democrat. Both Moss and Tilden received nice pluralities there. And it is normally Republican by near 300.
Indiana does not afford either party much opportunity to jollify and burn red fire. With Taft elected the Democrats can say little, and with Marshall in the state house the Republicans are not jubilant. It is a stan 1-off so far as the ability to “roast” is concerned.
We trust that the good Republicans who vot nl for Watson and his reput'.ion to save the state will not be too tnuch disappointed in case the Demo, ats do not establish a wideopen s ate. This morning they were propin :ying this result and acted as if they would be very sorry if their prophi ios did not come true. Such *s the political point of view’.
New York, Nov. 4.—The next president of the United States will be William Howard Taft, Republican, of Ohio. The next vice president will be James Schoolcraft Shermah, Republican, of New York. Tills is the verdict returned by the majority of the 15,000,000 voters of the United States. The Republican candidate has repeated Mr. Roosevelt’s feat of carrying every northern state, giving him a clear majority in the electoral college of 113 over William Jennin .s Bryan, the Democratic candidate. Mr. Taft will receive 298 electoral votes to Mr. Bryan's 185. The latter also lost West Virginia, which went to Mr. Roosevelt four years ago, but has gained the one electoral vote which Maryland gave to the Republican candidate in 1900. Oklahoma, the state created since the last presidential election, has enrolled itself, as expected, in the Democratic colmun. The states considered doubtful before the election have gone as follows: Maryland, Democratic; Indiana, Republican; Nebraska, Democratic; New York, Republican; Ohio, Republican, and West Virginia, Democratic. In most of these - Stea >hi voti is close, especially in N w York, where Charles Evans Hughes, Republican, has been re-elected governor by 54.000 votes. Taft has carried the state by 100,000
that office William D. I’orter, Republican, ha lie n elected by a majority of about 50,000 over Webster Grim. D. inncrat. The vote in the country districts was. as usual, heavily Republican. The .-.'ale’s n-presi ntation will again be Republican in the Sixty-first congress, the Democrats having gained only one snat. Tim figures will be as follows: Republicans, 24; Democrats, 8.

DRYAN CARRIES HOME STATE
Democrats Win in Nebraska by Small Majority.
Omaha, Neb . Nov. 4.—Nebraska has gratified the hopes of William Jennings Bryan by going 1) mocratic. Governor George I,. Sheldon, Republican. has been re-elected by a majority of 10,000. The personal popularity of Mr. Bryan in his home state and of Mr. Sheldon accounts for the difference between the governor’s vote and that of Mr. Taft. The state’s present congressional delegation, five Republicans and one Democrat, stands.
Mr. Bryan defeated is still Mr. Bryan, a man of power, entrenched in the hearts of his party. He will not be lost sight of because he has failed to be elected. The campaign has cost some men their reputations, notably the president of the United States. But it has left Bryan as strong with the honest people of America as ever. He will no longer be a political factor. He will always be one of the leaders of American political thought.

Results in the East. Pennsylvania has gone Republican by 250,000 majority and New Jersey by 75,000, the figures in 1904 being 505,519 and 80.598 respectively. Connecticut is Republican save in a few cities and towns, but Congressman George L. Li 1 ley, the Republican candidate for governor, ran behind Mr. Tuft. The lower house of the Sixty-first congress will be Republican by about Its old majority. The senate will remain Republican. Speaker Cannon has won his fight for re-election by his usual majority. Most of the great cities of the country have gone Republican, with the exception of New York and Chicago. In each of these cases, however, the rural Republican majority has been suffi ciently large to offset the Democratic urban vote. St. lamis has gone Republican. while the rest of Missouri is heavily Democratic. Central States for Taft. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the great central stab s, with an aggregate of sixty-five electoral votes, have gone Republican despite the ficht made to bring them into the Democratic column. Governor Deneen in Illinois, Republican candidate for re-election, retained his seat, but Thomas R. Marshall, a Democrat, will succeed Hanly in Indiana, and Harmon, Democrat will succeed Harris In Ohio. The Republican hope of carrying Kentucky proved vain in spite of the victory of Wilson, Republican, in the guberantorial contest last year. The greater part of the state’s congressional delegation will be Democrats. The Pacific coast states, California, Washington and Oregon, have given their votes to the Republican candidate, but Nevada, which voted against Parker in 1904, gave its votes this year to Bryan. Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota are again Republican, but Governor Johnson's personal popularity has sufficed to seat him again in the guberantorial chair of the North Star state. Wisconsin. Michi-t-an. Iowa and in fact (he entire West and Northwest are Republican, but, as noted above, by lowered majorities. The South Still Solid. The ‘‘solid South” is still solidly Democratic, Mr. Bryan polling the usual large majorities. Only in Maryland has the Republican party made serious inroads on the Democratic vote, and in that state not sufficiently to change the result. Delaware, about which some doubt was expressed before the election, has gone Republican. The New England states have gone for Taft and have elected Republican governors, but. the vote in Rhode Island, where the Democrats made a strong fight, is very close. In Massachusetts the Independence party candidate for governor made a good showing. though running far behind the vote of Thomas L. Hisgen last year. New York city has been carried by, Taft, the first time the Republicans have carried the greater city since 1896.
Bryan Silent on Election. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4.—“ Ido not desire to discuss the result of the election at the present time,” said Mr. Bryan after the returns were receiv -d here. “At a laier date I shall probably have something to ^ay, hut now I mu t bog (o be excused.” The Democratic candidate’s own city gave Mr. Bryan a majority.
CONNECTICUT FOR TAFT
Carries State, hut by Greatly Reduced Majority. Hartford, Conn.. Nov. 4.—Despite the efforts made to place Connecticut ; In the Democratic column, the state has given its vote to the Republican andidate. Mr. Taft's majority, however, fell far below that of Mr. Roose-! velt four years ago. Congressman Lil- j ley hak been elected governor by 5,000 | despite the opposition to him on ac count of the submarine boat matter j and the opposition to him In his own party. Five Republican congressmen j have been elected, and the state legislature will be Republican. The leaders of both parties in the | state expressed great interest in thej growih of the Socialist vote, which in- : creased from 2,932 in 1900 to 5,250 this year.
Close Vote in Colorado. Denver. Nov. 4.—Colorado, which gave Mr. Boos- It a majority of 34,-! 582 in 1904. lias gone Democratic, but by less than 5.000. Jesse F. McDonald, however, has been elected governor on the Republican ticket, and throe Re publican representatives have been chosen.
North Carolina. Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 4.—The Democratic national ticket has carried North Carolina by a majority of 30,000, the , Republican ticket making gains | throughout the state. W. W. Kitchin has been elected governor.
Indianapolis. Nov. 4.—For the first time since Thomas A. Hendricks was elected governor on the Democratic state ticket and U. S. Grant received the electoral vote of the state for the Republican national ticket, Ind ana has give» a plurality to the Republican candidate for pn -ident, William 11. Taft, and elected Thomas R. Marshall, Democralic candidate for governor Whether Marshall will carry the r st of the state ticket with him is a matier of conjecture. According to the latest estimate Mr. Taft received a plurality of about 15.000, and Mr. N :~- shall was victorious over James E. Watson, Republican candidate, by
about 8,000.
The congressional representation from this state will probably be seven Democrats and six Republicans. The latest returns credit tho Democrats with six and the Republicans with five members, with two districts in doubt— the Fifth aud Sev< nth, with chances favoring tin I o mocratic candidates. The legislature is in doubt. Marion county with its twelve members of the legislature went heavily Democratic for the county tick't and carried down with It the Rt publican b gialative candidates and possibly Congressman Jesse Oven-trcu l. One of tho Republican leaders who has been looking after the election of state legislators, conceded that the law-making body is very close, but he adhered to the opinion that the lead the Republicans have in the seventeen holdover senators will save it to the Republicans on joint ballot and insure the re-election of Senator James A. Hemenway. Among the things ascribed by the Republican leaders for the defeat of Mr. Watson, the probable loss of the legislature, possible defeat of Congressman Overstreet, and the election of a Democratic county ticket, are the liquor question and the labor vote. Just previous to the election Governor J. Frank Hanly called a special ses sion of the legislature, and a countylocal option law was passed after a bit ter fight with the “liberal” element This law was approved by Mr. Watson and the Republican candidates in their speeches, and in the election Tuesday that element worked for the success of the Democratic state and county ticket. There was also much agita : tion against what was termed “county graft” against the county officials oi Marion county, who were Republicans and this was an additional aid to the i Democratic candidates. The Republicans have carried the First, Sixth. Ninth, Tenth and Thir 1 teenth congressional districts; the Democrats the Second, Third, Fourth Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, and Twelfth sure. The Eleventh is doubtful.
