Returns From Back Counties
j Change Result, With Popular
Vote Almost a Tie.

By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Baltimore, Mil. Nov. 7—Complete
i returns from the southwestern tier of
(counties in Maryland, remote from
railroads and telegraphs, were receiv
ed only this morning, with the result
j that they increased the Bryan vote in
the slate sufficiently to reduce an ap
parent majority of 3000 lor Taft yester
day to almost an even break between
i Taft and Bryan. The totals of the two
candidates are so nearly tied that the
; electoral vote of the slate is divided
between them, Bryan getting six and
Taft two.
Almost identically the same condi
| lions existed four years ago, when the
popular vote in Maryland was 109,497
Ion the highest Hoosvelt elector, and
: 109,440 on the highest Parker elector,
a difference of only 51 votes. The
slight variation in the number of voles
then received bv the several electors
-
on both tickets gave seven ot ihe
! Parker electors a bare plurality, in
some cases less than ten votes, and one
ot the Roosevelt electors a plurality of
51. The electoral vote of the state
I therefore stood 7 for Parker and 1 for
; Roosevelt. This year, with 0 for
Brvan and 2 for Taft, the added repub
i *
lican elector gets in by a scratch over
the next highest Bayrn elector.
Maryland was uniformaly demo
cratic in presidential elections up to
18% by 0000 to .ltd,000 majority, but
! McKinley carried it for the republi
cans in bis first campaign by .‘52.222
j plurality over Bryan, and again in 1000
by L‘5,041. It lias since been demo
I ciatie in state elections by 2000 to 7000
plurality.
Ommitting Missouri, which will re
main doubtful until the official count,
Taft now has 1510 electoral votes, Bryan
155.
Chicago, Nov. 7—The democrats
have demanded a recount of votes on
the governorship in Illinois. They
claim that Stevenson is elected over
Deneen by a small majority. The
face of the returns, according to re
publican headquarters, gives Deneen
20,000 over Stevenson.

| New York, Nov. 7—There is general
j satisfaction expressed every where with
Taft's election. Financial circles are
'responding to the settled conditions
I following the election by again loosen
ing the puree strings in investments.
! Banks generally during the campaign
! had made loans timidly, even in
j Canada and Kurope, as they always do
in presidential years, with the result
i that there is now the greatest surplus
of accumulated reserves in the hanks
| of the United States ever known in
j the history of the country. Many
have from 40 to 00 percent, in re
| serve.
While conservatism is expressed,
all agree that during the next year
there will be plenty of money for
' legitimate enterprises.

The newspapers all over the coun

slated for secretary of the navy under
Taft; Frank B. Kellogg for attorney
general, and several of the Roosevelt

Latest Reports Indicate that Even
the Matanuska Eields Are
Surpassed.
Heds of coal thirty feet in thick
ness and of unexplored scope have
been found in the Talkeetna region
by prospectors who put in the summer
there. Other seams of good quality
apparently of high grade were dis
covered also on the Chulitna river.
■ In extent and quality this new lield
! may even surpass the well known
1 Matanuska deposits.
There remains much of the country
yet to be explored and it is believed
that it will prove to be as rich in coal
: and other minerals as that which has
already been mapped out.
