TAFTS ELECTION VOTE IS ASS GREAT GAINS CONGRESSMEN CLAIMED BY THE TARTY LEADERS Morehead, Cowles and, Grant Probably Elected Big Slump in Democratic Vote and Republicans Are Rejoic ing Over the Result Brooks Runs Behind Ticket in Fifth Distric t-Morehead Leads. THERE was much rejoicing last night at Republican headquarters, state, congressional and county. Scores of people filed in and out, anxious to get a word from ,ihe leaders. Returns showed the election of Taft early in the evening and interest centered largely on the result In the state. At the hour of going to press i looks as If the Republicans have elected congressmen from the Fifth, Eighth and Tenth districts. Special interest was manifested in the returns from the, Fifth district, where both parties claimed the victory. Republicans elaim a safe majority for Morehead, while Democrats claim that Brooks is elected by 1,000 to 1.300 majority. By eight o'clock un Associated Press bulletin' jfiashed the news that the New York World, Xew York Herald, New York American and Brooklyn Eagle announced the election of Taft. The bulletin was flashed upon the canvas and a loud yell went up from the crowd of people kin front, of the canvas. All the early bulletins indicated the election of Taft. At Republican head quarters Chairman Adams was flWed with telegrams from all section of the state announcing the .-results.". These were even more satisfactory, than Jiad been looked for and a general air .'of content was evident at headquarter. The 4-rowd began assemblying at the corner of Market and Elm streets at an early hour and by . eight o'clock the square Was packed. Traffic was at a standstill except for an occasional car or wagon these going through the courtesy of the crowd.';-The. return; came in quick, succession and each one was greeted with a cheer proportioned to the political conviction of the onlookers. By nine o'clock th: crowd had begun to dwindle many going to the Auditorium the rink and tne opera house," where seats were found'' more convenient thali" standing, although a good portion of the people stood at the corner or on tiio steps of the postoffice building until midnight and later. But very little noise or other signs of excitement were noticeable. The crowds were orderly and had. evidently made up their minds that the election was going in 'one direction' only and that there was little use in disagreeing with the returns a they came in from over the telegraph and telephone. Many women and children were watching the canvas on the courthouse and ap parently took as much interest in the result as did the actual voters. One feature that did not escape observation was the fact that the' assured election of Taft to the presidency was not unexpected in Greensboro. This had evidently been discounted some days before, if not weeks, and the result was accepted as a foregone conclusion. ' Chairman Adams was, much gratified at the character of the returns receiv ed at headquarters. AH of them Seemed to point tp large Republican gains ia North Carolina. He says that he is confident that the Tenth, Eighth and Fifth Congressional districts havo gone Republican. The returns so far have been from the eastern and middle counties mainly, and all indicate gains for the Republican ticket, both state and national. Many of the counties are very close, and It will probably require the official count to tell for certain how they have gone. .'-..' .Vews received from Asheville points to Republican vietory in Buncombe, and that Grant is elected to Congress over Crawford by a good majority. , . A dispatch from Raleigh announced tlvit there will be probably a slight re duction from the Democratic majority of two years ago. The figures will be about 40,000 majority for the Democratic ticket. The Eighth and Tenth Congressional districts indications are for .Republican victory. : . . . -.. . '... HEA VJEST VO TE E VER POLLED, IN.
