PEACE! PROSPERITY!! UNION!!! IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. Of course Old Misousri is all right, she is no more the Mystrious stranger, but a member of the family. Consolation is in order for bishop Consolation is in order for bishop Walters, Waldron, Ransom, Trotter, et al. We are very much disappointed in the defeat of A. P. Heywood and cannot conceive where he lost out, his record as a public servant has been above reproach and his friends were nonplussed at his defeat. The Wiley Martein was not in the running with your uncle Mark Higgins. As forecasted in our last issue as a result of the battle of ballots on last Tuesday the principals, as advocated by the Republican party swept the entire country, even poor old Misouri has decided to permanently break the moorings which have held her fast to the old dame of democracy and join the mighty force of progress as set forth by the party of progress. The black phalanx rallied to the standard through out the country and on this occasion as in the past, proved themselves loyal to the great party of progress and prosperity. Locally there is no question but that the splendid organization prevented the democrats from getting almost a clean sweep on the county ticket, and reduced Bryan's plurality to less than 100 votes. So all along the line the colored voter in the campaign of 1908 has rung true. Helena, Montana, Friday, November 6, 1908 The following from Cyrus Field Adams, editor of The Appeal, Chicago, is Self-Explanatory: Chicago, Day after Election Dear Friend: It'S all over now. The most roaring farce, the most exuberant display of idiocy, the grandest exhibit of impudence that was ever paraded before the astonished gaze of the world has at last come to an end, and the political buncoman, false prophet, humbug and fakir, has been retired to the background. The old flag waves in triumph. The country is safe. We are redeemed. Taft has been elected and all classes can breathe free again. What fearful disasters we have escaped! Misery for the poor; disaster for the well-to-do in life. The strong common sense of the common people has averted the calamity. While many were deceived and misled, the great body was open to reason, saw the danger to our country and its benign institutions, and built up an impregnable citadel with their votes, against the enemies of liberty, law and order. With their votes they smashed the most dangerous conspiracy since the overthrow of the slaveholders' rebellion. Democracy, Mobocracy, Ballotbox-stuffingocracy, Bryan, Parker, Daniels, Vardaman, Heflin and Tillman—exeunt omnes. (The curtain falls.) You have been an important factor in producing the good results. Accept Congratulations. Yours faithfully, C. F. Adams The New York Dry Goods Store. Helena, Mont.

The colored voters taking great pride in cutting Judge Horn, and it is safe to say that not a dozen colored voters voted for him, they also called themselves getting even with Phalen for County Attorney on account of his attitude in the Holland case, which was the first Jim Crow Law sought to enforced in this State, and we believe that Mr. Phalen acted without antipathy against the race a majority of the voters did _IS ELECTED _ Election Results Over the U. S. New York, Nov. 4.—General election returns from throughout the United States received up to an early hour this morning show the following re sults: ~~ William H. Taft of Ohio bas been elected president, with 298 votes secure and 13 doubtful. Practically no change is indicated in the complexion of the national house of representatives. The United States senate will retain its present republican majority. Governor Hughes bas been reelected in New York state by about 76,000 plurality. Indiana has gone for Taft by from 15,000 to 18,000 plurality. Bryan apparently has carried Ne braska, although the republicans still claim the state. Ohio returns have been seriously de layed owing to the immense size of the ballot, but Taft has carried the state by a majority ranging from 50,000 to 70,000. ‘Taft Carries New York City. Taft carried New York city by about 11,000 plurality, this being the first time the city bas given its vote to a republican candidate for the presidency since 1896, when McKinley had « small plurality. Mr. Taft received a greater plurality in New York state than Roosevelt did four years ago. The indications point ‘to 202,000 “or Mr. Taft as against 175,- 000°for Roosevelt. The indications are t' at democratic governors have been elected in several of the middle western states that have given their presidential votes to Taft. Mr, Taft bas exceeded Mr. Roose- velt’s plurality in New Jersey and in Massachusetts, as well as in New York. Pluralities Smaller in West. The republican plurality fell off heavily in “he middle west in a manner thoroughly surprising to the republican managers. Speaker Cannon has been reelected by his usual majority. Representative Payne of New Yori and Representative Dalzell of Pennsyl- vania are reelected, and the house of representatives will probably continue under its old regime. Mr, Payno will have eharge of the new tariff bill in the extra session when Mr. Taft will call it after Mareh 4 next. Missouri has returned to the ‘‘solid south’? on the presidential ticket and elected Cowherd as its governor. ‘Washington's Winning Ticket. Governor—Samuel G. Cosgrove. Lieutenant goversor—M. E. Hay. Seeretary of state—Sam H. ‘Nichols. State treasurer—John R. Lewis. State auditor—C. W. Clausen. » ’ Attorney general—W. P. Balk * Commissioner of public lands—E. W. Ross. Superintendent of publie instruction —Henry B. Dewey. Insurance commissioner — John H. Sehively. Washington has given Taft a major- ity close to 50,000 on the presidential tieket, while the majority for 8. G. Cos- grove, republican, for governor, bids fair to run Close to 30,000, and the rest of the republican state ticket will fol- low closely in his tracks, All three con gressmen are elected by handsome ma jorities, and the legislature, which is pledged to oleet Wesley Jones to suc- ceed United States Senator Levi An- keny, will be overwhelmingly republican in both branches. King county will give Taft a plurality of about 10,000. Returns fro mWashington state coun- ties, while very incomplete, indicate that in the nest legislature not more than five democrats will sit in the lower house. The senate will stand 35 repub: lieans to 5 democrats. Spokane County, Too. ‘The combined returns so far received from both city and county give Taft 4370 and Bryan 2280, which maintains the ratio of 2 to 1 in favor of the re- publican ticket. In the congressional race at 3:30 o'clock the returns from both city and county give Poindexter 3283 and Goodyear 1756. For governor at the same hour Cos: grove’s vote in Spokane county is 3276 and his opponent's (Pattison, dem.). 1806, For lieutenant governor Hay, repub- liean, has 2882 and Edwards, democrat, has 1722. The other republican state candidates have about the same vote. “Returns so far available indicate that the entire republican legislative ticket is elected in Spokane county, with the exception of the Fifth district, where Lester P. Edge and John Gray, demo- THE WINNERS IN IDAHO. Senate Will Probably Be Democratic— Defeat for Local Option. Republican winners: Thomas B. Hamer of Fremont for congressman; J F. Ailsbie of Idaho for justice of the supreme court; James H. Brady of Ban: nock for governor; L. H. Sweetzer of Cassia for lieutenant governor; Robert Lansdon of Washington for secretary of state; D. C. MeDougall of Oneida for attorney general; S. B. Taylor of Bonner for auditor; C. A. Hastings of Nez Perce for treasurer; F. C. Moore of Shoshone for mine inspector; S. Bell Chamberlain for superintendent of pub- lie instruction. Late returns from Idaho counties show that the entire state republiean ticket will be elected, J. H. Brady's majority for governor being estimated at 15,000, Taft carrying the state by 20,000. Portions of the republican county ticket in Kootenai will probably be de- feated, us in Shoshone. The legislature is apparently in doubt. The senate will probably be democratic, in whieh case the local option bill will meet defeat. Ou the basis of meager returns south- west Idaho will return © majority of about 5000 for Taft. ‘Montana May Be Bryan. Returns in Montane outside Silver Bow county, where machines were used, ore coming in slowly, but indications point to a complete vietory for the dem- oeratie state ticket and election of democratic presidential electors. Oregon for Taft. Returns indicate that Taft's plurality will exceed 25,000. It is believed he has carried every county in the state. Utah Republican. Utah is republican again this year by a heavy majority, that of the national tieket being much greater than for the state candidates. Taft Leads in California. It is stated that if the Taft figures ‘maintained their ratio of gain as indi- cated in 109 seattering precinets that California would go republican by 60,000 votes. Republicans Win in Illinois. Missouri for Bryan. Seattered returns indicate that Bryan has carried Missouri by 35,000 plur- ality. Taft Sweeps Bay State. ‘The republican national and state can: didates swept Massachusetts, and all 11 republican congressmen were re- elected. Both branches of the legis- lature will be republican, Early esti mates indicate a plurality for Taft of 120,000. Joe Canuon Reelected. Danville, Ill—Joseph G. Cannon has been reelected to. congress by a plur- ality considerably above the normal. Nevada to the Democrats. Republican State Chairman Hum- phreys concedes Nevada to Bryan by 3000. West Virginia to Taft. Returns from West Virginia indicate a slight advantage for Taft, although the margin was so small that the state could still be claimed as doubtfal. Johnson Wins Again. The indications are that Johnson Jearries Ramsey county (St. Paul) by 6500 and the state by at least 25,000, and Taft will earry Minnesota by 80,000. ee 60,000 majority, while the state and congressional tickets are overwhelming. ly democratic. Democrats Take Florida. The election in Florida resulted in the usual democratic majority of from 18,000 to 20,000. Bryan Sweeps Louisiana. Bryan swept Louisiana and the re- turns indicate s majority of 40,000. All seven democratic aominees for congress were elected. Complete democratic ticket will carry by u majority of at least 30,000. Taft in Rhode Island. Returns from 30 districts out of 161 in Rhode Island indicate that Taft bas earried the state. Maine for Taft by 81,500. Maine gave Taft an estimated plural- ity of 31,500. Connecticut Vote for Taft. Taft will carry Connecticut by over 20,000 on the fact of first returns. Lil ley, republican, for governor was elected. Kansas Republican. Returns from Kansas indicate com. plete republican vietory for W. B. Stubbs, republican, for governor; run. ning slightly behind Taft. Chairman Dolley claims the state for the repub licans by 25,000. Bryan Hears the News. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 3.— William J. Bryan tonight received at his home, Fairview, the returns whieh early told him that for the third time he had been defeated in the greatest ambition of his life. Confident of vie tory to the very last, he was not pre- pared to believe that his cause was lost until the pluralities of his repub- liean opponent piled up in sueb propor: tions as to leave no room for doubt. He carried his own precinet by 108 to 82 for Taft. Cincinnati to Honor Taft. As a personal tribute of esteem and respect the Cincinnati Commercial elub ‘Thursday night gave a dinner for Judge William H. Taft, who for many years has been a member of that organiza. a ROOSEVELT IS PLEASED. ‘SRO SHOES, Congrenmates Sect ane Others, Washington, Nov. 3—The president tonight sent the following dispateh to Judge Taft: “T need hardly say how heartily 1 congratulate you, and the country even more.’?

Cincinnati, Nov. 3.—President Roose velt’s telegram to Judge Taft elicited the following reply: “Thank you for your telegram. With out any expression from you I would know how deeply interested you have been in my success and how much you rejoice in it. It is your administration that this vietory affirms, “WILLIAM H. TAFT.” SPENDS MILLION IN FOUR YEARS Young St. Louis Sport at Last Finds All His Effects Seized for Debt. St. Louis, Mo.—‘Jimmy’’ O'Neil, ¢lubman, bestower of big tips and price of St. Louis entertainers, in four years has so reduced his fortune of half a million dollars that attachments and levies on his property are hampering his intended removal to New York city. The O'Neil fortune of $1,000,000 or more, when ‘Jimmy’? shared it with his sister, Mrs. Elenor O'Neil Nolker, was made by their late father, Peter O'Neil, in the lumber trade, after its foundations had been laid in the res- taurant business at the old nnion depot on Twelfth street. ‘+ Jimmy"? O'Neil ’s hospitality is fa- mous in the downtown cafes and elite bars of St. Louis, Every one’s money but his was ‘‘counterfeit’’ when he was in a spending mood, and the stranger and chair warmer was as sure of a drink as an old college friend, Von Buciow Stave, Berlin.—Aceording to the Nord Deutsche Algemeine Zeitung, Prinee von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, of. fered his resignation to Emperor Wil liam in consequence of the publication in London of the interview with his majesty, for whieh the prince took the responsibility, The emperor would not accept the chancellor's resignation and at the same time permitted Prince von Buelow to publish a full explanation so as to meet the unjustifiable attacks that have been made upon his majesty Ontario Town Burned. Smiths Falls, Ont—The town of Pem- broke was devastated by fire Wednes- day, Sixty buildings were, destroyed. ‘The loss is estimated at $500,000, Pem- broke is a town of 5500 inhabitants. Gompers Won't Own Defeat. “Temporarily defeated, but not con- quered,"’ is the way President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor viewed the election in a statement is- sued recently. Latest Returns college. This is within 16 votes of the forecast. made by Chairman Frank! Hitchcock and 67 more than a majority of the total electoral vote of 453. If Nisouri votes for Taft his total may] reach 327. News of the late returns: indiewte that Maryland, after vaeillat-| ing during the day and apparently be-| ing safe for the democrats, bas been swung into the Taft column, The un official figures give Mr. Taft the state by 198 votes, Indiana and West Vir ‘ginia, as well as Montana, turned out ‘to be safely republican. Colorado went for Bryan. If Missouri, whieh late developments place in the doubtful column, goes for Bryan, he will have a total of 174 votes, two less than he feceived in 1896. In 1904 Mr. Parker received only 140 votes, in 1900 Bryan received 155 votes and in 1896 the Nebraskan received 176 votes. Mr. Taft's 309 electoral votes com- pare with 296 received by Roosevelt in 1904, 292 received by MeKinley in 1900 and 271 received by MeKinley in 1396. ‘Majorities in Congress. No changes of material interest have been reported in the congressional re- turns today. The republicans will have about the same working majority in the Sixty-first congress as at present and Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois probably will succeed himself as speaker. Representative J. Overstreet of In- diana and Hepburn of Iowa are the most Conspicuous among those who have failed of reelection. The senate retains its present com- plexion, although there will be a ma- terial change in its personnel. States Carried by Bryan. The states certainly carried by Mr. Bryan are as follows: Alabama 11, Arkansas 9, Colorado 5, Florida 5, Georgia 13, Kentucky 13, Louisiana 9, Mississippi 10, Nevada 3, Nebraska 8, North Carolina 12, Oklahoma 7, South Carolina 9, Tennessee 12, Texas 18, Vir- ginia 12, Total 156, All the rest of the states are safe for Taft, with the exception of Maryland and Missouri, where the issue is so close that an official count may be neces- sary finally to determine the result. Changes in Indiana. A radical change in Indiana's repre- sentation in the national house of repre- sentatives was the most striking feature of the election. The latest unofficial returns complete give the democratic party 11 members and the republicans two. This is a gain of seven for the democrats, the former, representation being nine republicans and four demo: ratie members. William H. Taft car- fied the state for president, according to incomplete returns, by about 8000. Thomas R. Marshall and the entire dem- oeratie ticket are probably eleeted by a plurality around 15,000. Bryan Wins Nebraska. Returns on Tuesday's election, whieh, while far from complete, are sufficiently definite to confirm and emphasize the first report that the democrats have made a sweeping victory in Nebraska. Colorado for Democrats. The chairman of the republican state central committee admits that the trend of the count of Tuesday's vote in Col- orado is toward a democratic vietory. Washington Big for Taft. Taft's majority over Bryan in Wash- ington will exceed 40,000, and is likely to reach the 50,000 predicted on the basis of the first returns received. 8. G. Cosgrove, the republican candidate for governor, has had a veritable land- slide, his majority over Pattison ex- eceding 40,000, The state elects three republican congressmen, and the legis- lature will send a republican to the United States senate to sueceed Senator Ankeny. One hundred and fourteen eomplete precincts out of 117 in Spokane county give Taft 10,941, Bryan 6291, Debs 960 and Chafin 373, One hundred and cleven _preeinets complete give Poindexter for congress 10,592 and Goodyear 5977. The vote in King county at 12 o'clock Wednesday, with 16 county precinets and two city precinets to be heard from, follows: Taft 22,178, Bryan 13,912. All republican legislative candidates in Pierce county are elected.

Pray to succeed himself in congress by an estimated plurality of 4500 and elected the entire republican state Oregon for Taft.

Dunne, who has tried many of the bribery and graft eases in this city, has been reelected. Rathdrum Loses County Seat. Coeur @'Alene, Tdaho—Reports from all the precincts in the county, except- ing Sanders, which has about 50 votes, give Coeur d’Alene the county seat -by a vote of 6097 to 1955. Sanders will in- crease this majority by a few votes. London Press Pleased. Loudon—The press of London re- gords the election of Taft as a matter for general and world-wide congratula- tion as it ‘insures the continuance of a poliey’’ which has been greatly ap- proved in England. ‘The policy whieh Mz. Taft has inherited.”’ points out the Evening Standard, ‘is in a large meas: ure accountable for the leap to the front made by America in recent years, and her present position as a power among the powers is due to an unusual extent to Mr. Taft’s labors in close alliance with President Roosevelt.”” SHORT SPORTING ITEMS. | Diamonds valued at more than $1200, and cash amounting to about $15, were taken from the person of Ralph L.

Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. ¥., says: “I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s troubles. I am :.ware that there are imitations in the field, but I always coe that my patients get Fletcher's.” Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the father of thirteea children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Cas- toria has made for itself in the tons of thousands of homes blessed by tho presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse- ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi. ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make aa ex- ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physi clan who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” GENUINE GAS TORIA Always The Kind You Have Always Bought in Use For Over 30 Years.
