Taft will be the twenty-seventn president
of the United States, the Republican
ticket headed by Taft and Sherman
having swept the country by a
vote which will give him 317 ballots
in the Electoral College against Mr.
Bryan's 166, or only 19 less than Mr.
Roosevelt had in 1904. His majority
will be 151. William J. Bryan suffered
his third and most crushing defeat
in his twelve-year run for President
of the United States.
To enforce his policies President
Taft will have an overwhelmingly
Republican Congress, the Senate being
as strongly Republican as before,
wnd the House increasing its Republican
majority from 57 to 65.
About every so-called doubtful
State went Republican. It was noticeable
that the majorities in the
East were greater than those in the
West. In New York, for instance,
Taft beat the great Roosevelt majority
of 1904, getting 185,796 majority,
as against Roosevelt's 175,000.
The greatest surprise of the election
was the Republican victory in
New York City, where Taft's majority
was 7748. Never before this has
this city gone Republican in a Presidential
election except in 1900, when
it voted for McKinley as against
Bryan: Chanler's plurality in the
city was 67,000.
Taft's plurality on the popular vote
is estimated at 1,087,750, as against
Roosevelt's plurality of 2,545,515
over Parker.
Undoubtedly the great surprise of
the national election was in New
York State. The' ablest Republican
leaders north of the Harlem did not
look for any such overwhelming vote
for the Republican candidate. There
was a still greater surprise below the
Harlem River. Taft carried the city
of New York by more than 9000 plurality
over Bryan. He obtained all
of this in the Borough of Brooklyn.
\ There, where Chanler received 35,000
plurality two years ago, he was
defeated by more than 21,000. It
was a stunning surprise to both Republican
and Democratic politicians.
The old city of New York, now
ealled Manhattan and the Bronx, gave
Bryan less than 10,000 plurality over ,
Taft.* Queens gave him less than
1500, and Richmond, on the revised
figures, gave the Nebraskan 695; so
while Bryan carried New York,
Queens and Richmond counties, he
was overwhelmed in Pat McCarren's
- ?-? * ?i- 4- ur^irZw*
bamwicK. ana so neaviij* i.uai iuwuuley's
majority of less than 4000 in
1900 looks very .small in comparison.
The great Taft vote in Brooklyn carried
through all the Republican members
of Congress whose Feats were
represented in the last House of Representatives
by members of that party,
and all the Senate seats in the
State Legislature now held by Republicans
were also won.
Joseph G. Cannon was re-elected to
Congress from the Eighteenth Illinois
District by a plurality above the normal.
Returns are still incomplete,
but enough figures have been obtained
to show that he will probably
have a plurality of at least 10,500.
President Taft will have with him
an increased majority in the House.
In the Sixtieth Congress Mr. Roosevelt
had fifty-seven majority; in the
Sixty-first, which Mr. Taft had promised
to call in extra session next
spring, he will have sixty-five.

for Congress in the Ninth New
maa dpfpatpd hv Re
publican votes which were cast for
his opponent, Judge Goldfogle.
A noticeable feature of the election
was the increase of the Republican
vote in the Southern States. In Florida,
for example, it increased so much
that early in the evening there was a
report that the State had gone Republican.
Everywhere in the Southern
States along the Atlantic coast
there was this unusual Republican
vote.
lu Illinois, which Bryan's managers
had claimed, there was a smashing
vote against him. Cook County,
where Roger Sullivan is supreme,
went against him by 50,000. The
majority in the State is estimated at
170.000.
Maryland, which was claimed by
the Democrats and almost conceded
by the Republicans?actually conceded,
in fact, by President Roosevelt?
has gone Republican by a majority of
about 5000. Kentucky is for Bryan
by about 15,000.
The biggest surprise was in Sena-1

NEW YORK. ?
New York City.?Governor Charles n
E. Hughes, the central figure in one E
of the bitterest political fights ever J
waged in New York State, is elected c
by an increased majority over two syears
ago. His plurality will prob- 11
ably reach 79,000. With the Gov- a
ernor the entire Republican State
ticket is elected by pluralities in excess
of that given the head of the
ticket. a
The State officers-elect are: j P.
Governor, Charles E. Hughes. ! t]
Lieutenant - Governor, Horace ^
White. ' t
Secretary o! State, Samuel S. d
Koenig.
Comptroller, Charles H. Gaus.
Treasurer, Thomas B. Dunn.

In bringing aljout the sweeping victory
for Governor Hughes the upState
counties and Long Island gave
the Governor more than 125,000, o
while New York City fell far behind fi
the estimated plurality for Chanler, o
giving him only about 58,000. is
Kings County gave Chanler the v
narrow margin of less than 5000. ti
Hughes ran far behind President- c
elect Taft in nearly all of the counties c
above the Harlem, but the name per- L
centage of loss was not maintained
below the bridge. In Queens there
was only 5000 plurality against hin^
and little more than 1500 in Rich- ^
mond. ^
If Hughes had to depend on the j
.State above t^ie Harlem River, and -j
normal Democratic majorities had g
Deen given in tnis cuy, u wouia nave
been a close fit. In Albany County
Hughes was cut more than 2000.
In Erie, where Taft received more
than 6000 majority, the Governor tl
lost the county. It was the same in n
at relative sense in Rensselaer, Onon- E
daga, Oneida, Jefferson. Oswego, St. 1j
Lawrence, Steuben, Ulster, Clinton, ti
Chemung and Ontario. In no county
above the Harlem did the Governor
keep up with Judge Taft's vote, and
in the great majority of counties he ^
was more than fifteen per cent, behind.
1 j
He was badly cut in Schenectady, M
Montgomery and Saratoga. In every 0
county his associates on the State j
ticket ran far ahead of him. The *
lowest man on the ticket outside of p
Hughes will probably have 100,000 ' v
plurality.
NEW JERSEY.Trenton,
N. J.?Revised returns in- g
dicate that Taft's plurality in New 1 n
Jersey will be 90,000 at the least.
The Republicans elected seven of J
the ten Representatives and the Democrats
two, the Sixth District; which
is now represented by a Democrat,
William Hughes, being very close.
The Democrats elected their Congress ?
candidate, Kinkead, in the Ninth Dis- j.
trict, and Hamill in the Tenth. T,hos. i;
Foxhall is the Republican candidate c
in the doubtful district. t
The Republicans have re-elected i
Louderislager in the First; Gardiner
in the Second, Howell in the Third,
Wood in the Fourth, Fowler in the
Fifth, Parker in the Seventh, and
have elected Representative Wylie in p
the Eighth, which now is represented I
by a Democrat, Pratt. c
Both houses of the Legislature will t
bs strongly Republican. c
ILLINOIS. (1
Chicago, 111.?The Republican Na- ^
tional and State tickets gained a complete
victory in Illinois. Taft has carried
the State by approximately 170,000
votes. The Socialist vote showed f
a falling off from that of four years S
ago. Debs in 1904 received 69,225 0
votes. From the returns so far ob- e
tained it seems probable that he will ft
! not receive over 40,000. C

and towns, William H. Taft's pluality
in the State is estimated at

V. S. Cowherd, Democrat. The Reublican
State ticket, although Tuning
several thousand votes behind
ladley, will be elected, and if Repub[can
gains keep up Taft will carry

will be Democratic by four on
Dint ballot.
LOUISIANA.

NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, N. C.?There will probbly
be a reduction from the Demoratic
majority of two years ago in

Jacksonville, Fla.?The election in
'lorida resulted in the usual Demoratic
majority of from 18,000 to
0,000.
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, R. I.?With two-thirds
f the 161 precincts heard from, the
gures indicated a probable plurality
f 16,000 for Taft in the State. This
! about the plurality given Rooseelt
in 1904. The Republican State
Icket. headed by Abraip J. Pothier,
andidate for Governor, has been rucessful
by a smaller marein. The
>egislature will be Republican.

J. Glasscock, the Republican candiate
for Governor, seemed to have
oiled nearly the full Republican
ote, and to have a safe margin.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia, S. C. ? South Carolina
ives Bryan about 50.000 to 60.000
aajority. while the State and Oonress
tickets are overwhelmingly
Jemocratic.
MARYLAND.
Tlaltimorp, Md?Rpnuhlicans and
)emocrats claim the State of Maryind
for the national ticket, but the
ate returns indicate that Taft has
arried the State by 2000. In Balimore
125 precincts out of 221 give
'aft a majority of 1125.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Neb.?Twelve country
recincts outside of Lancaster and
)ouglas Counties show a net Demoratic
gain of four to the precinct. If
his gain is maintained feryan has
arried the State by a small plurality,
iut returns are too scattering to inic^te
anything conclusive. Comarisons
are made with 1900.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux Falls, S. D.?Reports thus
ar indicate that Taft has carried the
Itate by not less than 15,000 or 20,00,
that the Republicans have e'ectd

Oklahoma will return to Congress
Bird McGuire, of the First District;
B. L. Fulton, of the Second District;
James S. Davenport, of the Third
District; Charles D. Carter, of the
TTonrth Tiistrlr.t. and Scott Ferris, of
j the Fifth District. The only Republican
is McGuire. The Legislature
I will be ninety per cent. Democratic,
thus assuring the re-election of
United States Senator Gore.
MICHIGAN.
Lansing, Mich.?Returns are coming
in unsually' slow, but the indications
are that Taft will carry Michigan
by 100,000. The Republicans
elect all twelve Congressmen. Hemans,
Democrat, for Governor, has
made large gains. Chairman Diekema
claims the election of Governor
Warner by a plurality of from 15,000
to 25,000.
COLORADO.
Denver, Col.?Indications are that
Colorado has gone Democratic by a
plurality of from 3000 to 5000. and
that the Democrats will control the
Legislature and elect Senator Teller's
successor. Bonynge, Congressman,
First District, is re-elected, as Is Haggott
in the Second District. Burger,
at large, is in doubt.
NORTH DAKOTA.
Fargo, XV. V.?L/aie maicauuua jil
t.hi9 State are that Taft has carried it
by 30,000. In 1904 Roosevelt's plurality
was 50,000. At a late hour it
seemed likely that Burke, Democratic
candidate for Governor, had beaten
Johnson by 5000.
KANSAS.
j Topeka, Kan.?Scattering returns
partially counted from forty Kansas
precincts indicate that Taft carried
Kansas by 35,000, and that the "Republicans
have elected a solid Congress
delegation. The Republicans
have also probably elected their entire
State ticket. The heaviest vote
in the State's history was polled.
IDAHO.
Boise. Idaho.?Meagre reports indicate
Taft'a plurality here at 20,000.
The entire State Republican ticket is
probably elected. Grady for Governor
should have 8000 plurality on
the basis of present returns.
VERMONT.
Burlington, Vt.?The Republican
nlurality fell off . 2688 from that for
Roosevelt four years ago. Taft's plurality
is 27,994. He has 39,488 and
Bryan 11,494.

Augusta. Me.?The returns indicate
that Taft carries Maine by about
30,000. against 38,191 four years
ago. All Congressmen Republican.
ORGEON.
j Portland, Ore.?Early returns indicate
that Taft and Sherman have
carried Oregon by close to 30,000
votes. Complete returns from seventeen
preciilcts give Taft 1422, Bryan
720. Incomplete returns, from twenty
precincts outside of Multnomah
County give Taft 689. Bryan 547. >
OHIO.
Cincinnati, Ohio.?rTaft has more
than a normal Republican plurality
of close to 50.000, while Harris, Republican,
for Governor, was defeated.
The figures at that hour were for the
election of Harmon, Democrat* by
15,000.
IOWA.
Des Moines, Iowa.?Incomplete
returns indicate that Taft has carried
Iowa/ by a nlurality from 40,000 to
50,000. This is a falltnp oft from the
Roosevelt plurality of 58,000 of four
years a?o. The entire Republican
State ticket is elected. The indications
are that the# entire delegation
in Congress will 'be Republican, a
! gain of one over two years ago.
MINNESOTA.
Sf. Paul, Minn.?Taft has carried
this State by something like 100,000.
John A. Johnson has been
elected Governor of Minnesota on the
Democratic ticket for the third consecutive
time over the Republican
candidate, Jacob Jacobson!
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Ind.?Returns indicate
that WllHam H. Taft carried the
State by from 5000 to 15,000 plurality.
Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic
candidate for Governor, leads his Republican
opponent, James E. Watson,
by about 8000 votes.
WASHINGTON.
Seattle, Wash.?Scattered returns
from every part of Washington indidicate
a plurality of at least 4 0,000
for Taft and the State Republican
ticket. The Legislature will );c almost
wholly Republican.
DELAWARE.
Wilmington, Del. ? Chairman Du
Pont, of the Republican State Committee,
claims Delaware for Taft by
2500, and Herald, Renublican, for
Congress by about the same vote.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Va. ? The Republican
State Committee concedes the State
j to Bryan by 15,000, but claims one
Congressman. The Democratic majority
in the State will probably be
smaller than anticipated, probably
not more than 20,000. The returns
are slow. Nine out of ten Democratic
Congress candidates have been
elected.

by 5000.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, Wis.?Taft and Sher*
man have carried Wisconsin with a
plurality estimated at 75,000, and
Governor Davidson, Republican, has
been re-elected by a plurality close
to Taft's. Republicans have elected
nine out of eleven Congressmen, the
Democrats one, with the Fourth District
still in doubt. The Legislature
will be overwhelmingly Republican.
In 105 precincts out of 164 in Milwaukee
County, the vote was: Taft,
19,722; Bryan, 18,761. - The Democratic
candidate for Governor carried
the icounty by about 3000, whileTaft's
plurality in this county is estimated
at 2000.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, Miss.?The returns indicate
that Bryan carried Mississippi
by a majority of over 54,000. All of
the eight Democratic nominees for
Congress were elected. The vote for
Taft showed a slight increase over the
Republican vote in the last Presl
dential election.

MONTANA.
Helena, Mont;.?Taft carried Mon?
tana by about 3000 plurality. Both
branches of the Legislature will be
Republican.
TEXAS.
Austin,Texas.?It is estimated that
the total* vote cast in Texas did not*
exceed 300,000. Bryan has- carried
the State by probably 180,000 over
Taft. The most surprising feature of
the election is the phenomenal vote
cast for John N. Simpson, Republican
candidate for Governor.
. KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky.?Twelve counties
In Kentucky outside of JefTersoc
County give Bryan, 5367 plurality.
The same counties in 1904 gave
Parker 4314 plurality. Indications
are that Bryan has carried Kentucky
by a plurality of 10,000.
ALABAMA.
Birmingham, Ala.?The 'Democva*

ARKANSAS.
Little Rock. Ark.?Bryan's nlural*
ity in thp St?.te will be about 25,000.
Debs will poll about 10,000 votes in
the State, while the other minoi: candidates
will poll about 2000 each.
The Republican vote has been largely
increased because of the large
number of nqgro voters. I /
CALIFORNIA. 1
San Francisco. Cal.?The Republicans
claim the State by 45,000. The
State is undoubtedly safe for Taft.
There was an unusually heavy vote
over the entire' State. In Los Angeles
Congressman James McLaughlin (Republican)
is re-elected by a greatly
reduced yote.
GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Ga.?Georgia has gone for
Bryan by tbe usual Democratic majority
of between 30.000 and 40,000.
Thomas E. Watson, the Populist nominee,
who was canvassing the State
against Bryan, seems to have developed
very little strength. The Indications
are that Bryan will receive
over 400,000 votes, while Taft, Watson,
Hisgen and Chafln combined will
not get over 70,000. Practically no
showing was made by Hisgen and
Graves, the Independence candidates.
It is doubtful if they get 4000 votes
in the State.
NEVADA. ' ,
Reno, Nev.?Indications are that
Bryan carried Nevada Dy a suostantial
majority.
NEW LADING BILL IN FORCE.

[ THANKSGIVING DAY
SET FOR NOVEMBER 26
President Says Life Is Wasted Which
1$ Spent Piling Up Money
Heap Upon Heap.
Washington, D. C.?The President
issued the annual Thanksgiving proclamation
in which he pointed out the
ateady growth of the nation in
strength, worldly power, wealth and
population, and that our average of
individual comfort and -well-being la
higher that that of any other country
in the world. For this, he declares,
Americans owe it to the Almighty to
show equal progress in moral and
spiritual things.
The proclamation follows:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
A PROCLAMATION.
Once again the season is at hand,
when, according to the ancient" custom
of our people, it becomes the
duty of the President to appoint a
day of prayer and of thanksgiving to
God.
Year by year this nation grows in
strength and worldly power. During
the century and a quarter that
has elapsed since our entry into the
circle of independent peoples, we
have grown and prospered in material
things to a degree never known
before, and not now known in any
other country. The thirteen colonies
which struggled along the ssa
coast of the Atlantic and were
hemmed in but a few miles west of
tidewater by the. Indian-haunted wilderness,
have been transformed into
the mightiest republic which the
world has ever seen.
Its domains stretch across the con-"
tinent from one to the other of the
two greatest'oceans, and it exercises
dominion alike in the Arctic and
tropic realms. The growth in wealth
and population has surpassed even
the growth in territory. Nowhere
else in the world is the average of
individual comfort and material wellbeing
as high as in our fortunate
land.For
the very reason that in material
well being we have thus abounded,
we owe it to the Almighty to show
equal progress in moral and spiritual
things. With a nation, as with individuals
who make up a nation, material
well being is an indispensable
foundation. But the foundation
avails nothing by itself. That life is
wasted, worse than wasted, which is
spent in piling, heap upon heap, those
things which minister merely to the
pleasure of the body and to the powe"
that rests only upon wealth.
Upon material well being as a
foundation must be raised the structure
of the lofty life of the spirit if
this nation is properly to fulfil its
great mission and to accomplish all
that we so ardently hope and desire.
The things of the body are good; .the
things of the intellect better; but
best of all are the things of the soul;
for, in the nation as in the individual,
in the long run, it is character that
counts. Let us, therefore, as a people,
set our faces resolutely against
evil, and with broad charity, with
kindliness and good will toward all
men, bat with unflinching determination
to smite down wrong, strive with
all the strength that Is given us for
righteousness in public and in private
life.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States,
do set apart Thursday, the 26th day
of November next, as a day of general
thanksgiving and prayer; and on the
day I recommend that the people
shall cease from their daily work, and,
in their homes or in their churches, ,
meet devoutedly to thank the Almighty
for the many and great blessings
they have received in the past,
and to pray that they may be given
strength so to order their lives as to
deserve a continuation of these blessings
in the future.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal
of .the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington,
tnis tnirty-nrat aay 01 ucioDer m me ;
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and eight, and of the independence
of the United States the one
hundred and .thirty-third.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The proclamation ends: "By the
President Alvey A. Adee, Acting Secretary
of State."

Galien renounced the use of wingSv
which had been recommended by
previous would-be aeronauts, and re- '
placed them by "globes of strbng

covered with skin, and strengthened
at intervals with strong cords wheiei

Raising Tobacco in Maine.
It has apparently remained for
Pope GIbbs to demonstrate in his
own garden, situated about a mile, L^'fl
from the Soldiers' Heme, In Togus,
that tobacco can be successfully "
grown in Mains. Last yoar Mr. '**>%
Gibbs raised about eighty pounds of
tobacco from seventy-nine plants.
This year he raised very nearly the
same amount from only thirty-five
plants, the season being much more
favorable for the growth of the plant
Mr. Gibbs had no difficulty In dfs- '
posing of the tobacco which he
raised last year and which was generally
conceded to be of excellent
quality. He cured It in "his barn,
which has a ventilator and where by
opening the doors he was able to get v
the current of air necessary for the
best results, the conditions being f
quite as favorable as In the best tobacco
curing plants of the South.
The opinion was very generally expressed
last season that while Mr.
GIbbs was successful in raising to- '
bacco in this State it would not be
possible to mature the seed here.
This year he has disproved this idea
by maturing a tobacco stalk more
than seven feet high with an excep- {
tionally well developed cluster of
seeds.?-Kennebec Journal.

PUZZLE SOLVED
Coffee at Bottom of Trouble.
It takes some people a long time to
find out that coffee is hurting them.
But when once the fact is clear,
most people try to keep away from
the thing which is followed by fiver
increasing detriment to the heart,
stomach and nerves.
"Until two years ago I was a heavy
coffee drinker," writes au 111. stockman,
/"and had been all my life. I
am now 56 years old.
"About three years ago I began to
have nervous spells and could not
sleep nights, was bothered by indi-^
gestion, bloating and gas on stomach
afTected my heart.
"I spent lots of money doctoring?
one doctor told me 1 had chronic car ^
tarrh of the stomach; another that I
had heart disease and was liable to
die at any time. They all dieted ine
until I was nearly starved, but I
seemed to get worse Instead of better.
"Having heard of the good Postum
had done for nervous people I discarded
coffee altogether and began to
use Postum regularly. I soon got
better and now, after nearly two
years, I can truthfully say I am
sound and well.
"I sleep well at night, do not have
the nervous spells and am not bothered
with indigestion or palpitation.
I weigh 32 pounds more than when I
jegan Postum, and am better every
way than 1 ever was while drinking
coffee. I can't say too much In praise
)f Postum, as I am sure it saved my
ife." "There's a Reason."
