VOLUiMEXV AKDMOlttf, OKLAHOMA Til UHSDAY KVKNFNCi NOVKM1JK1J 1)0S NUMBER 137 ELECT DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS HARMON CARRIES OHIO Although the republican national ticket has been over whelmingly elected, later returns show democratic gains and many surprises on state tickets. Notwithstanding Ohio's electoral vote is for Taft overwhelmingly, Judson Harmon, the democratic gubernatorial candidate has been elected by probably 20,000. Indiana also has elected a democratic governor and today's returns continue to cut down the Taft plurality and build up the plurality of Marshall, democratic candidate for governor. The only disheartening news to democrats on the late returns is the fact that the electoral vote of Missouri and Maryland may land in the republican column on the final count. Democratic chairmen in both these states however claim that Bryan has carried them. Hadley, republican candidate for governor of Missouri, has carried the state over Cowherd, who ran thousands of votes behind Bryan. New York, N. Y., Nov. 5. Maryland and Missouri held the center of political attention, of the republican and democratic politicians, to say nothing of the voters, when they today began to look over the results of the election Tuesday. Today's dispatches show that the results In these two states are still unsettled. , Leaving Maryland and Missouri out, Taft Is assured of 301 electoral1 votes, Bryan 156. Maryland with eight electoral votes Is claimed for Taft with a margin of 136 votes, and but few districts to bo heard from. In Missouri the late tidings glve Taft the apparently narrow mar gin of 67 votes and seemed to make practically certain the election of a republican governor for the first tlme In 35 years. Hadley's plu rality today appears as 15,148. Indiana democrats have apparently elected a majority of the state legislature and It Is rumored may send John W. Kern, the defeated vice presidential nominee, to the United States senate. It appeared today that the socialists are disappointed In their avowed expectations of casting "one million votes for Debs," but their vote In general showed a material Increase over that of 1904. The prohibition vote totals disappointment to those who expected the "prohibition wave" would show a surprising Increase. Missouri 'Uncomfortably Close. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 5. Unofficial returns to tho Post Dispatch from 114 of tho 115 counties In Missouri, eighty-six counties bolus coinplote, glvo Taft 290.177.

The result in the big democratic counties of the southern part of the state, however, have been slower reach ing headquarters than those in the northern part of the state and the present Bryan majority will be considerably in creased when the result from the southern part of the state is reported.
