ALABAMA.
Montgomery. November., 3.—Little
interest is manifested in today's elec
tion in Alabama. Bryan will get the
electoral votes of the state beyond
all question. It is estimated that 85
per cent of the total vote will be for
the Nebraskan.
ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, November 3.—Arkansas
as always, is solidly Democratic, and
Taft will receive only a small vote.
The state election has already been
held and this detracts from the gener
al interest in today's balloting.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, November 3.—Demo
cratic leaders are today declaring that
a Bryan landslide will be shown by

J
the returns, but reports received this
morning from all over the state give
little basis for such a belief.
Japanese exclusion plank in the Dem
ocratic platform has gained votes for
Bryan among the labor element, but
this is not likely to be sufficient to
overcome the usual Republican major
ity. Fifteen constitutional amendments
including a primary election law, and
being voted on today, and this has
aided to bring out a full vote. Cali
fornia is almost certain to be found in
the Taft column, but by a greatly re
duced plurality from that received by
Roosevelt four years ago.
The
CILORADO
Denver, November 3.—Enthusiasm
has marked the campaign just closed
in Colorado and prospects are good for
the largest vote ever polled in the
state. Confidence peravdes the head
quarters of both parties and both the
Republican and Democratic leaders
are predicting success,
will doubtless be close, but indications
are not lacking that Bryan will get
the state's electoral vote. Bryan re
ceived a plurality of 134,882 in 1896
and 29,661 in 1900.
The result
CONNECTICUT.
Hraford, November 3.—Early re
turns indicate that Taft will carry
Connecticut, but by a small plurality,
j Bryan is getting a larger labor vote.
| Many Republicans are Scratching"
' Representative Lilley, the gubernator
ial candidate, and he is thought to be
| in danger of defeat.
DELAWARE.
Wilmington, November 3.—Voting
commenced early today and the polls
were thronged with probabilities of a
heavy vote. Democrats claim only a
fighting chance f<tr Bryan, and politi
cal prophets claim Taft is certain of
the state.
FLIRDIA.
Jacksonville, November 3.—While
some opposition to Bryan has develop
ed among the business interests, the
Nebraskan is assured of the entire
electoral vote of Florida. The Demo
crats have practically no opposition.
GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Ga., November 3.—Georgia
has already held its state election,
and in consequence there is no great
interest in today's election. Bryan will
get an overwhelming plurality, but
Taft will receive many votes in this
city and Savanah.
IDAHO.
Boise, November 3.—Bryan is likely
to get Idaho's three electoral votes by
a small plurality over Taft. The Mor
mon question has been much agitated
during the campaign. Roosevelt's de
nunciation of Moyer and Haywood
previous to their trial, has aroused
prejudice against Taft in labor circles.
The Socialists are casting a heavy
vote but this defection falls equally
on both parties.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, November 3.—That the
twenty-seven electoral votes of 11111
ols will be for Taft, but that Deneen
will have a close race with Stevenson
for the governorship, is indicated by
reports received this morning from
over the state. Business is largely
suspended in this city today and all
the polling places are centers of large
crowds. Hotels, restaurants and cafes
are prepared for an unprecedented
demonstration tonight. Great interest
centers in the Danville congressional
district, where Speaker Cannon is
making a fight for his political life.
Early estimates from the scene of war
are that Cannon will be re-elected, but
by a greatly reduced majority.
NDIANA.
November
Indianapolis,
Hoosierdom is in a ferment of excite
ment today and the greatest political
battle in recent years is on in earnest.
Chairman Jackson of the Democratic
state committee declares that victory
is already assured and that Bryan and
Marshall have carried the state by a
safe majority. Similar optimistic ex
perssions were made at Republican
headquarters. Both sides admit that
the vote will be close. All during the
campaign, Indiana has been the most
doubtful state of the Union, and this
uncertainity is still hovering over the
issue of today's election. An unusu
ally heavy vote was cast all over the
state this morning. The governorship
fight is quite as close as the contest
between Taft and Bryan. The liquor
question has added to the uncertainity
of the situation. It is generally ad
mitted that the Republican party has
regained some of its lost ground dur
the last week of the campaign, but
it may not be sufficient to overcome
the Democratic wave that swept over
the state earlier in the struggle. Vice
President Fairbanks claims that Taft
will have 30,000 plurality.
3.—All
IOWA.
Des Moines, November 3.—Claims
of a plurality for Taft of from 40,
000 to 65,000 are made by Republican
leaders on the basis of returns receiv
ed today from various cities and towns
in Iowa. Roosevelt received a plu
rality over Parker of 158,786, but no
Republican believes that Taft will at
tain to half that figure. Practically all
of the labor vote is going to Bryan,
according to reports from all the in
dustrial centers. The Socialist vote
will be about 8,000, and the Prohibi
tionists will receive a slightly lesser
number.
KANSAS.
Topeka, November 3.—While Taft
will not approach Roosevelt's great
plurality of 127,000 four years ago, he
will probably receive the electoral
vote of the Sunflower state. Estimates
of Taft's plurality range from 25,000
to 40,000. At Democratic headquarters
hope has not yet been abandoned, and
claims are made today that Bryan
will win the state by from 10,000 to
15,000. A big Socialist vote is report
ed from Leavenworth, Pittsburg, Wich
ita and other industrial cities. Al
though disaffection was caused by the
Brownsville affair, the negro vote will
be largely for Taft.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, November 3.—Although
the Taft men claim Kentucky as
"fighting ground," there is little to
indicate that the Ohioan will he sue
cessful in today's election, and the
most conservative estimates place
Bryan's plurality at from 5,000 to 10,
o. Republicans base their hope of
success on the election of Wilson, Re
publican, as governor, but the local
differences which led to that result
on
will not effect the Bryan vote in to
day's contest.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, November 3.—Bryan
will receive practically the entire vote
of Louisiana in the election in pro
gress today,
officers are to be chosen, and the
Democrats have the only tlicket in the
field, there is little interest manifest
ed by the voters.
As only minor state
MAINE.
Augusta, November 3.—Maine will
give Taft a plurality of about 20,000,
and the entire electoral vote of the
State.
greatly reduced in the recent state
election, but that was due to the pro
hibition issue, which does not affect
today's election.
The Republican plurality was
MARYLAND.
Baltimore i November 3.—As one of
the doubtful states, Maryland may
play a large part in determininng the
next president, and the voters are
conscious of the fact and rushed to the
polls early this morning to cast their
ballots. Both Bryan and Taft adher
ents afe claiming the state by small
pluralities. Charges have been made
that money has been used in large
quanties to influence voters, and the
officials of the Baltimore Reform Lea
gue are keeqlng a close watch upon
the balloting and threatening to prose
cute all illegal or purchased voters.
The Baltimore laboring vote is one of
the determining factors, and the
Democrat^ base their claims of vic
tory on the statement that the union
men have been won for Bryan and
that the Republicans will lose much of
the negro vote. The plurality conser
vative tendencies of the Maryland
voters, the Republican leaders assert,
render a Taft victory certain.

is being made by Democratic politi
cians to day to secure a full vote of
the party, with the hope of putting
Massachusetts in the Bryan column,
but the most authentic forecasts in
dicate a decided pluraliy for Taft al
though not as large as that received
by Roosevelt four years ago.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, November 3.—With pros
pects of a heavy vote, a Taft victory
in Michigan is certain. Few Democrats
are so sanquine as to prophesy a plu
rality for Bryan. A nevol feature of
thte election is the light between Rep
resentative Samuel Smith, Republican
and Frank L. Dodge, Democrat, for
Congressman from the Sixth District.
Congressman Smith is chairman of the
House Committee on the District of
Columbia, and the people and newspa
pers of the national capital have used
every influence to prevent his reelec
tion on account of his record on the
gas and street car company questions.
MINNESITA.
St. Paul, November 3.—Taft will re
ceive a plurality in Minnesota, this
is conceded by prominent Democrats.
At Republican headquarters It is
claimed that the Ohio candidate's plu
rality will be between 30,000 and 40,
00 Popular interest centers in the
gubernatorial fight between Johnson
and Jacobson. The present Demo
cratic chief executive was renominat
ed much against his will, but has
made a strong campaign. His friends
are confident, although it is admitted
that Jacobson has made a good fight
for the Scandinavian vote, which has
been Johnson's great source of
strength.

will carry Mississippi and a solidly
Democratic delegation returned to the
