HOW EnYAN HEARD THE STORY.
Disappointed In New York, He Waa
Confident to the Last.
At Fairview, his home, William J.
Bryan received the returns, which
early in the told him that, for
the third time, he had been defeated
in the greatest ambition of his life.
Confident of victory to l&e very
last, he was net prepared to believe
that his was lest the plu
ralities of his republican opponent
■ —TTT
Wm. J. BRYAN.
piled up such proportions as to
leave no room for doubt.
When the early returns came in
he made particular inquiries regarding
the state of Now York and found
much encouragement in the gains he
was making up-state over the demo
cratic vote of 1904, but as the figures
continued to be received, he relied on
Greater New York to offset the heavy
l'aft vote above the Harlem river.
Bven in that he was bitterly, disap
pointed , and he soon realizzed that the
state wa3 hopelessly gone and with It
bis prospects of being elected. r '
BRYAN, AND KERN WIN
IN GEORGIA STATE
Approximate Majority Oyer All Is Giv„
en at 20,030.
In complete returns from over the
state of Georgia indicate that Bryan
and Kern carried Georgia Tuesday by
a clear majority over all other candi
dates .
The majority, however, will be
small, probably not over 20,000.
Taft has carfied eight counties and
two others from which the completed
returns liave not been reported are in
doubt, with indications pointing to
the success of Taft. The Taft coun
ties are Chatooga, Forsyth, Haralson,
-Acflntosh, Pickens, "Polk,, Taliafer
ro, Whitfield, Gilmer and Gordon
md are placed In the douJ>t£ul col
, tuun. - f - • • i -:
Watson carried seven »unties, in
cluding big heme oounty of MoDnfflft,
wJtejf
JOHN W. K*«N.
Glascock, Johnson, Lincoln, Oconee,
Screven and Warren.
The Hlsgen and Graves vote all
throughout the state of Georgia was a
negligible Quantity. The indepen
dence party candidates did not carry
a single county.
The counties which gave majorities
to Roosevelt over Parker four years
ago, and which, have not BO far re
ported, include Dawson, Jfennan,
Towns and Union. They are normal
ly republican. . -
Jefferson, which gave Roosevelt a
majority of 110, is put in the Bryan
column this year toy a plurality of
73.
The returns by counties tell their
own story. It will require the offl
cial consolidation of the vote at noon
Wednesday to arrive at the total vote
or the precise majority of the demo
cratic national candidates.
BRYAN CARWtee W8 STATE.
Deolsvle Plurality ls Indicated for the
Democratic Ticket.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3. —Nebraska
probably hag gone democratic by a
decisive plurality with not enough re
turns on which to make an estimate.
Bryan has made slight gains in in
the country precincts, and in the cit
ies the democratic gain is heavy.
Bryan carried Lincoln by 600, over-.
turning a normal republican
of 1,600. ~ w

tAFT MANAGER ON THE RESULT
There Are No Longer Doubtful States
Says Mr. Hitchoock.
' Chairman Hitchcock, of the repub
lican national committee, met the
newspaper reporters In his rooms at
national headquarters and made the
following statement:
"The returns speak for themselves.
There seems to be no longer any
donbtful states. The electoral vote
will show that my estimate was cor
rect. It looks now, I think, as if
I must have underestimated it.
"The returns have exceeded my ex
pectations .
"The plurality in IffMana -was less
than I expected.
"I predicted early in the evening
that Goveftwr Moghee would he elect
ed. To Mr. Mr. Ho*b*B we owe much
and a* a campaigner he ha« helped
wondefally. in Ike national contest.
All of ua 'here at headquarters were
greatly intereetqd in the He has
earned his victory, and we are glad
tor him and -gotteful to him for the
help he has given us."
When Mr.' Hitchcock was asked
what he attributed the victory of the
national ticket to, he replied:
"The people have explained it. It
is not for me to say anything more ex
cept to thank the people.
"t do not think any formal statement
from me, further than what I have
said to you, Is necessary.*'
SHERMAN NOT SURPRISED.
He Said that He Expected the Returns
to Shew Taft'* Election.
James-*-S. Sherman, the republican
vice presidential candidate, received
' the election returns at his home on
tTpper GOnessee street, surrounded by
a company of relatives and friends.
The house was supplied with long
distance telephone connections and a
direct telegraph wire from New York,
and as the bulletins were read to Mr.
Sherman,, he was congratulated by
those assembled.
It became evident from the start
that the returns were not surprising
to Mr. Sherman. He has said all the
time that he expected the republicans
would win and he expressed no sur
prise as the returns came indicating
that tbe state had cone heavily for the
republican national ticket. He Joked
and talked with hie visitors in a very
happy frame of mind. Congratula
tions oame from all sections early
and the telephone wires were busy
with the messages that were sent from
home and abroad.
A large crowd of people assembled
in the street in front of Mr. Sherman's
| residence, but bulletins were not
j shown from that sections of Che city
and the thinned out.

CHAIRMAN MACK DID NOT TALK.
He Will Not Comment on Result Until
Later On.
When the election returns began to
come in to democratic natioual head
quarters shortly before 6 o'clock,
Chairman Mack arriving from Buffalo
about that time Tuesday, in company
with State Chaiman Conners. In a
little room overlooking Broadway and
through the windows of which a tre
mendous din came from shouting,
through the street below, the election
bulletins were received by telephone
and telegraph. In the njetu with
"Mr.? Mack, in addition to-VJce Gfeair-'
man, Hudspeth and a number of party
leaders, were Mrs. Mack and others.
Tfie first bulletin that came in was
frocv Buffalo, the home of
chajrman, and it showed that Taft
was leading Bryan. This was quick
ly followed by bulletins from Syracuse
Rochester, Eimira, Watertown ana
Albany, in the order named, all of
which gave Taft a lead over his op
ponent.
Shortly after a dispatch came from
Cincinnati, claiming a plurality of
5,000 for Bryan in the city, and this
was regarded with satisfaction. As
district after district throughout the
state and in Oreater (New York showed
Taft steadily leading Bryan, it seem
ed apparent to the leaders that democ
racy stood a tmall chance of earrying
the Empire State, and news from the
west was anxiously await*!.
Chairman 'Mack stated that he had
nothing to say until later on.

HEARST FILES PETITION
ABOUT HASKELL SUIT
Omaha, Neb. —A petition signed by.
William R. Hearst before a notary
public in New York and asking thai
the |£oo,ooo libel suit filed by Gov
ernor Haskell, of Oklahoma, against
Mr. Hearst in the state court of Ne
braska, in Omaha, be transferred to
the federal court, was filed here by
J. W. Battin, Mt. Hearst's local
attorney.
The basis of the petition is that
as the parties to the suit reside in a
state other than Nebraska, the case
cannot be tried in a state court. There
is a legal question involved in this
as to whether such a case can be
transferred to the federal court.
Ed P. Smith, local attorney for Gov
ernor Haskell, said:
"I would rather try the case in a
federal court, if it has jurisdiction, .
for the reason that ,the state laws of
iNebraska do not allow any punitive
damages, and the federal court does.
Half the amount we are suing for,
1300,000, represents punitive dam.
ages."
HOW TO CURB A COLT),
Be as carefui as 1 -you WttrydEH will oc
casionally take cold, and when you do,
get a medicine of known reliability, one
that has an established reputation and
that is certain to effect a. quick cure.
Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It has gained a world vude
reputation by its remarkable cures of
this most commos ailment, and can al
ways be depended upon. It acts on
nature's plan, relieves the lungs, aids
expectoration, opens the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system to a
healthy condition. During the many
years in which it has been in general
use we have yet to learn of a single
case of cold or attack of the grip hav
ing resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was nsed. which shows con
clusively that it is a certain preventa
tive of that dangerous disease. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic and may be
given as confidently to a baby as to an
adult. For sale by W. S. Martin & Co.
