• TAFT’S VOTE
IS GROWING
WILL P0SSI6 r 327 VOTES
Maryland,jMissouri and Montana
May Increase
The 198 Votes Conceded Yesterday to More
than Republican Chairman
Claimed.
Worse and more of it from a
Democratic standpoint are the later
returns from Tuesday’s election,
and it now seems likely that Wil
liam Howard Taft has been elected
president by a greater majority in
the electoral college than was
claimed for him by his chairman,
Frank H. Hitchcock.
Yesterday the returns indicated
298 electoral votes for Taft, but
later returns today seem to show
that Maryland and Montana have
given Republican pluralities, with
a serious probability of Missouri
also falling in line. These three
states have a total electoral vote of
29, which would increase Taft’s
electoral vote so 327, or two more
than Chairman Hitchcock predict
ed for him on the eve of the elec
tion.
Colorado and Nebraska alone of
the doubtful states have gone safe
ly Democratic, although in Indiana
0 the Republican majority of 93,000
four years ago has been reduced to
• the close margin of 8,000.
New York, however, increased
its Republican plurality and will
give Taft 203,495 and Hughes
71,150.
Mrssouri Seems Republican.
St. Louis, Nov. 5.—Returns com
piled at 1:30 this morning from
every county in the state give Bry
an a lead over Taft in Missouri of
67 votes.
From 18 of the 114 counties,how
ever, complete returns have not
been received and for these coun
ties the statisticians made careful
estimates.
Complete returns from the miss
ing precincts may change the re
sult one way or another, and it is
probable that the official count
alone can determine whether Mis
souri has given its 18 electoral
votes to Bryan or to Taft
The same tables that give Bryan
a lead of 67 votes, give Hadley, for
governor, a lead of 15,148, making,
his election over W. S. Cowherd
an absolute certainty.
This is the first time in nearly
35 years that Missouri has elected
a Republican governor. Returns
■s* from 58 counties iu the state give
Stone for the Democratic senatorial
candidate a plurality of 15,997
over Folk. McKinney is 13,550
votes ahead of Kerns for the Re
publican senatorial nomination.
Indications are still that the
Democrats will control the legisla
ture on joint ballot by four or five
votes.
Close in Maryland.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 5.—The
political pendulum has swung once
more and, on the face of the un
official returns, Taft has carried
Maryland by 159 votes.
Neither side is content with the
figures, which it must be said, are
not so satisfactory as they might be
because of the way in which re
turns from a few of the precincts
of Dorchester and Worcester
counties have been sent in by cor
respondents. In these precincts,
sufficient easily to change the re
sults, the correspondents have fig
ured out the pluralities instead of
sending into their papers the num
ber of votes cast for each candidate.
CHANCERY COURT IN SESSION
Judge Wallace Holding Adjourned
Term Here.
Cases Not Reached at September Term
Being Taken Up by the
Court.
Chancellor J. G. Wallace of
Russellville is holding an ad
journed term of chancery court in
this city today, taking up several
cases which were not reached at
the last September term.
The court wdll be in session to
day and tomorrow.
Almost the entire morning ses
sion was taken up with case of H.
H. Benedict against S. G. Smith.
This is a suit over the possession
of 120 acres of land lj’ing near the
Arkansas river in this county.
Benedict sold the land for $1000 to
C. A. Griffith, who afterwards
transferred it to Smith. The
plaintiff claims that only $200 has
been paid on the land and asks
for the foreclosure ot a vendor’s
lein on the property. The defend
ant claims that the land has been
paid for and also that the statute
of limitations would run against
any claim the plaintiff might have,
and this latter defense involves the
principal part of the contest, as
the deed made by Benedict to Grif
fith was lost without having been
recorded. The plaintiff alleges
that the land was sold in 1S95, and
the defendant, prior to that time.
Milligan Application Denied.
Holding that the coroner’s in
quest under which L. E. Milligan
was committed to jail was regular,
Judge Wallace this afternoon de
nied an application for a writ of
habeas corpus. The court, how
ever, agreed to hear the defendant
on an application for a reduction
of his bail bond, which was fixed
by county Judge Lea at $4000.
Canvass Vote Tomorrow.
The election commissioners will
canvass the votes of this county
tomorrow. The board is composed
of W. H. Duncan, J. B. Higgins
and H. W. Hoover.

SAFE MAJORITY i
FOR WALLACE
Little Rock, Nov. 5, 3 p. m.—
Special.—Sufficient returns have
been received here to remove all
doubt as to the election of Minor
Wallace to congress from the
seventh district.
Little Rock, Nov. 5.—Reports
from the several counties in the
Seventh congressional district
show that Congressman R. Minor
Wallace has been re-elected by a
substantial majority over his Re
publican opponent, S. R. Young.
It was reported in Little Rock
last night, as well as at several
points in the seventh district, that
Congressman Wallace had been
defeated, but there seems to be no
ground for these rumors. It was
reported that Young had carried
several counties in the district but
the returns available last night in
dicated that the Republican can
didate had carried only one of the
eleven counties in the district.
Ouachita county gave him a ma
jority of about 200.
