of
Colorado has apparently settled the
question definitely in favor of Bryan,
but the latter's plurality in that state
Begins to be less thp.n half of that for
Shafroth, the Democratic candidate
for governor, and the ttate legislature
will be safely Democratic.
West Virginia is evidently assured
to Taft. Dispatches indicate a plural
ity of 20,000 or better: but Glasscock,
Republican, for governor, will have
apparently less than half of that.
Reduced Majority in Congress.
The Republican majority in the na
tional bouse of representatives has
been cut, but that party still will have
substantial control. Speaker Cannon
probably will be re-elected. The Re
publicans elected a congressman in
Arkansas and have increased their
representation from Democratic Okla
homa by two.
Taft's plurality in New York stata
has gone well over the 200,000 mark,
while Hughes,' for governor, ha*
shrunk to 70,000 or less.
Mr. Taft carried Ohio by 50,000 plu
rality, a reduction of more than 200,
000 from the Roosevelt vote of four
years ago. The Democrats elected
Harmon governor, but the balance of
the state ticket and the legislature Is
Republican.
Governor Johnson of Minnesota,
Dem., has a plurality of more than
25.000, but Taft carried the state by
nearly 75,000. The balance of the
state ticket and the legislature Is Re
publican.
The Socialists have been disappoint
ed in their widely avowed expecta
tions of casting "a million for Debs"
and in some states have even fallen
below their vote of four years ago. In
general, however, their vote showed a
material increase. As for the Pro
hibition vote its totals present a great
disappointment to those who expected
that the "prohibition wave" that has
swept several states into the "dry"
column during the past two years
would 3how surprising increases In

TWO STATES IN
DOUBTFUL LIST
Missouri and Maryland De
cidedly Close.
TAFT MAY GET 319 VOTES
Missouri Seems Inclined Toward Taft
and Maryland Toward Bryan, but
the Electoral Vote of the Latter
May Be Divided Between the Two
Candidates—West Virginia Firmly
In the Republican Column.
New York, Nov. 6.—With Missouri
and Maryland still wavering between
Taft and Bryan the situation seemed
to be that Maryland was inclining to
ward Bryan and Mitssouri toward Taft,
though the electoral vote of the for
mer state may be divided between the
two candidates. West Virginia has
been settled as belonging in the Re
publican column. The trend of the
news makes it seem likely that Taft
will have 319 electoral votes and
Bryan 164.
Indiana apparently has given the
Democrats a majority eight on joint
ballot in the legislature, which would
assure the return of a Democratic
United States senator in place of
Henienway, a Republican. There is a
rumor that John W. Kern, the de
feated candidate for vice president,
will be chosen. The state has elected
Marshall, Democrat, governor by a
plurality of about 15,000, while giving
Taft a margin of about 10,000.
BRYAN HAS SMALL LEAD.
Maryland Now Appears to Have Gone
Democratic.
Baltimore, Nov. 6.™According to un
official returns received by the Balti
more News from every county in th«
state and from Baltimore city Mary
land is again in the Bryan column by
a very small plurality. The most
careful revision of the unofficial fig
ures was made, with the aid of re
ports from every county and the
wards of Baltimore city, and the re
sult is to show that Bryan leads in
the vote by 210 votes.
The vote is so close, however, that
It 1s possible the complexion may
again be changed by the discovery or'
an ordinarily slight inaccuracy of a
ward or district.
It seems certain that the electoral
vote of the state will be divided an.I
the probabilities art that Bryan, in
the opinion of close political observ
ers, will get a majority of the elec
toral vote.
Taft Has Plurality of 75,000.
San Francisco, Nov. 6.—Returns
from 2,302 of 2,854 precincts in Cali
fornia, with a vote aggregating 319.
322, show a plurality of 74,276 for
Taft. The precincts heard from em
brace all those of importance in thf*
state. The precincts still to report
will probably increase Taft's lead so
|hat the official count will show a plu
rality of more than 75,000.
Senator Newlands Re-Elected.
Reno, Nev.. Nov. 6.—United States
Senator Francis G. Newlands, Dem.,
has been re-elected by popular vote
by a majority of between 2,000 and
3,000. Both parties have pledged their
state legislators to stand by the result
jf this vote.
WARNER IS RE-ELECTED.
Michigan Governor Has About 9,000
Plurality.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 6.—With a few
country districts still to hear from it
is practically certain that Governor
Fred M. Warner has been re-elected
for a third term by about 8,000 or
9,000 plurality over his Democratic op
ponent, Law ton T. Hemans.
The News gives Governor Warner a
plurality of 5,866 and estimates that
the missing districts will increase
this by 2,600 qiore. The Journal esti
mates the governor's plurality at 9
000.
Apparently but one Democratic
member of the legislature has been
elected, Keppler, for representative ir
the Second Houghton district.
HARMON A SURE WINNER
Other State Officers in Ohio Appear to
Be Republican.
Cincinnati, Nov. 6.—That earlier
statements of Harmon's plurality for
governor of Ohio are fully warranted
by actual count is shown as more re
ports arrive and the statement of 20,
000 plurality will be near the correct
figure. A total of 2,768 precincts out
of 4,430 in the state of Ohio give Har
ris, Rep., 315,950 Harmon, Dem., 335,
062. Returns on the other state offi
cers are meager, but the Republicans
seem to have taken everything below
governoi. The legislature is safely
Republican.
Bryan Congratulate* Taft
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.—William J.
Bryan, the defeated candidate of the
Democratic party for president, sent
the following telegram of congratula
tion to President-elect Taft: "Please
accept congratulations and best
wishes for the success ot your admin
istration."

BRYAN ISSUES
A STATEMENT
Impossible as Yet to Analyze
Causes of Defeat.
LED FIGHT BEST HE COULD
Declare* That If He Could Regard the
Reverse as Purely a Personal One
He Would Consider It a Blessing
Rather Than a Misfortune to Be Re
lieved of the Burdens and Responsi
bilities of the Position.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-—William J.
Bryan has issued the following atate
ment:
"The election has gone against us
by a decisive majority. The returns
6re not all In and it is Impossible at
the present time to analyze them or to
say what causes contributed most to
the Republican victory. We made our
fight upon a platform which embodied
what we believed to be good for the
American people, but it is for the peo
pie themselves to decide what laws
they desire and what methods of gov
ernment they prefer. I have faith
that the publicity which we asked for
will yet commend itself to the Amer
ican people, that the election of sen
ators by the people will be secured,
that the Iniquities of the trusts will
arouse an opposition that will result
in the elimination of the principle of
private monopoly. I am confident that
the people will see the necessity for
the labor legislation and the tariff
reduction which our platform demand
ed. I am confident, too, that the edu
cational work done in this campaign
will result in securing greater protec
tion to bank depositors. The above
are the most prominent reforms for
which we labored and I believe that
these reforms will yet come, together
with more effective regulation of rail
roads and independence for the Fili
pinos.
Commends National Committe*.
"I desire to commend the work of
our national committee. I am entirely
satisfied with Mr. Mack as the chair
man and with the members of the
ccnimittee. I do not see what thev
could have done more than they did
and as for myself I put forth
ever-
effort in my power to secure victory
for our cause. The aomination cam
from the hands of the voters I havij
obeyed their command and have led
as best I could. Words will aot ex
press my gratitude for the devotion
which has been shown by millions of
Democrats during the past twelve
years. Neither am I able to adequate
ly express my appreciation for the
kind words which have been spoken
since the election. If I could regard
the defeat as purely a personal ono I
would consider it a blessing rather
than a misfortune, for I am relieved
of the burdens and responsibilities
(f
an office that is attractive only in pre
portion as it gives an opportunity to
render a larger public service. Hut I
shall serve as willingly in a private
capacity as in a public one. Qod does
not require great thing3 of us be
only requires that we improve the o
port unities that are presented and
rhall be glad to improve the oppor
tunities for service presented by pri
vate life."
WEST VIRGINIA FIGURES.
Late Return* Show Big Plurality for
Taft.
Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 6.—The
Register has received returns from all
counties of the state and gives de
tailed figures and tabulations showing
the completeness of the Republican
victory in West Virginia. The plu
ralities shown are as follows: Taft,
20,459 Glasscock, Rep., for governor,
7,683. The Republicans made a clean
sweep in the five congressional dis
tricts.
The house of delegates is Repub
lican by a slightly decreased but still
overwhelming majority and the senate
will be composed of twenty-three or
twenty-four Republicans and six i
seven Democrats. No United Stat s
senator is to be elected. Considerable
Democratic gains were made in tii
northern counties, but these were
largely offset by the tremendous and
increased Republican majorities given
'in most counties of the so called
"black belt' of the southern section.
COLORADO DEMOCRATIC.
Late Returns Place Bryan'* Pluralltv
at Over 5,000.
Denver, Nov. 6.—On unofficial re
turns for the entire state, which ar
not likely to be materially changed
Bryan's plurality in Colorado is 5,571
and for governor Shafroth, Dem.
leads McDonald, Rep., by 9,382. Thro
Democrats are elected to congress.
The Democrats control both houses
of the legislature, the senate by 20
IB and the house 51 to 14 and Charles
men by the negro. Charles Brown, a
son of the office*, cbot ia 4ks.' J. Hughes, Jr., will be elected United
Htm by Rica. Btatas senator to *ucaaed\Tellar.

MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1908
WILL BE OVER 25,000.
Johnson'* Plurality f«|s Governor of
Minnesota. I 'BT
St. Paul, Nov. G.—Governor John A.
Johnson's plurality steadily grows as
belated returns come hi and it now
seems probable that it ttfill reach over
25,000-,
The3 vote in the country, which had
been counted on by the Jaeobson u.an
ag^rs to cut down Johnson's lead ia
the cities, ha* simply served to in
crease it
Governor Jdtinson ran twrtleularly
stront in the northern part of the
state and in the very counties which
had been counted on for the Repub
lican candidate. St. Louis? county, for
instance, Johnson carried by 1,000
and all through tlie Ninth congres
sional district he showed unexpected
strength. The Seventh district, Ja
eobson's home, and the Southern coun
ties were more loyal to the Lac qui
Parle man.
It is conceded by friend and foe
alike that Johnson's victory is the
greatest he has yet won. This year
everything was against him the
prejudice against the third term, the
fact that it was presidential year and
that Minnesota went for Taft by a
landslide, the undoubted strength of
Mr. Jacobson as a candidate and the
fact that the Republican party was
united this fall as never before In re
cent years.
VOTE FOR DEBS WILL
NOT EXCEED 500,000
Socialists Fall Far Short of
Their Predictions.
Chicago, Htfv. 6.—The Socialist
vote in Tuesday's election showed a
great falling off from the record in
1904 in the three principal cities of
the country in which socialism is
fctrongest. Chicago Socialists, who
polled 45,000 votes in 1904, are given
less than 19,000 vote* in the returns
and the most sanguine do not expect
that the revised total will exceed 21,
000 votes for Mr. Debs. Cincinnati
and Cleveland, also listed as strong
socialist centers, according to the
leaders of the party. eoJJe»j a greatly
decreased vote.
The total vote for Mr. Debs, it Is
estimated, will not exceed 500,000 in
place of the 1,000.000 which was jwe
dicted by enthusiastic Socialists.
REPUBLICANS HAVE
MAJORITY Of FORTY
Democrats Gain Ten Seats in
House of Representatives,
Chicago, Nov. 6.—According to re
turns from all congrcssionnl districts
in the United States the next national
house of representatives will consist
of 215 Renublicans and 17G Demo
crats. It is possible that these figures
may be changed later by returns from
a few districts from which entire fig
ures have net been obtained.
The present membership of the
house Is 223 Republicans and 166
Democrats and there are two vacan
cies.

Truth and
Quality
Appeal to the Well-informed in way
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
iswcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to tneiaase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved 1 y
physicians, as it is free from all objection
