fcy CnV.e tc The Daily Gateway.
Washington. D. C.% Nov. 5—fI he sure
electoral vote for Taft is now ddi). It
will he increased to d*J7 it the IS
votes of Missouri are found in the final
count to he republican, as latest re
turns indicate they will be by a close
majority.
Returns from all the states the last
twelve hours have increased Taft s
lead both in electoral and popular
majorities, particularly in some of the
doubtful states.
Montana with d electoral votes is
taken out of the Bryan column, where
it was placed by tir>t returns, and is
now for Taft by 4(hh) majority.
Delaware gave Taft H)0 majority.
Colorado and Nevada are the only
other states still in doubt. Many pre
cincts in both are remote from tele
graphic communication.
Brvan carried Nebraska, his home
*
state, by 10.000 majority.
The popular plurality for Taft in
all the states now stands 1,750,000.
Taft carried 20 states, Bryan 15, and
two are in doubt.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 5— Late returns
indicate that Taft has carried Missouri
by a small majority, not exceeding 100.
The vote is so close that only the olli
cial count can determine the outcome,
but the Taft electors are now in t lie
lead. The republican state ticket also
appears to be in the lead, with Had
ley for governor running ahead of the
other candidates.
Missouri’s vote is one of the big sur
prises of the election. It had been
conceded to Bryan by the republi
cans, although they thought they had
a good lighting chance to elect their
candidate for governor. The state
was carried for Roosevelt in 1904 by
25,137 majority, but Folk, democrat,
was at the same time elected governor
by 30,100 majority. The rest of the
state ticket then elected was republi
can. The results four years ago, how
ever, were considered to be due to the
Roosevelt wave and to the unpop
ularity of Parker.
The new legislature of the state is
in doubt.
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 5—Oklahoma
swung into the republican column with
a majority of 21,000 for Taft. It is a
surprise to the republicans. The state
[ went 30,000 democratic at the last elec
tion. The result is due largely to the
disclosures concerning Governor Has
kell during the campaign, when he (
was forced to resign as treasurer of
the democratic national committee.
Many Indian votes were changed from
democratic to republican because of i
Haskell’s alleged connection with aj
plot to buy large plats of Cherokee I
lands far below their value, and the:
10,000 lessees of state school lands re
sented the failure of the state adminis
tration to fulfill its promise to throw
these lands open to purchase.
The state officers elected two years
ago serve for four years.
Oklahoma has 7 electorial votes.
--— i
New York, Nov. 5—The complete
count in Creator New York gives the
city to Taft by 15,000 plurality, the
largest and only plurality ever given j
by the city to a republican candidate j
for president. Parker carried the city ,
over Roosevelt in 1904 by 189,712 to
155,005, a majority of 54,709.
I’aft’s plurality in the state, includ
• ing the citv, is 185,000. Roosevelt’s
plurality in the state, including the]
city, was 175,552 in 1904. Taft t lie re-1
fore carries the state by 10,000 above i
the Roosevelt tidal wave.
The complete change of political j
alignment by New York City is the
greatest surprise of the election.
There are many explanations for it,
but the principal one is the increasing
! opposition to To Tammany hall and
to the democratic party by the German
and Jewish nationalities.
—
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 5—Governor I
Warner is re-elected for a third term .
by 10,000 plurality. The rest of the j
republican state ticket received an av
erage of 80.000 majority. Taft’s plu
rality in the state is 135,000.
The principal opposition to Gov. j
Warner grew out of his alleged con
nection with State Treasurer Frank j
1’. Glazier, a banker, who failed in
100“ with over $000,000 of state money
on deposit in his bank.
Glazier was removed from office by
Gov. Warner, but the governor's op
ponents claimed he neglected his duty
in not discovering the condition of the
state money before the failure.
’
Chicago, Nov. 5—The total popular
vote for Eugene V. Debs, socialist
candidate for president, is close to 750,
000. He received large votes in New
York, Chicago, Milwaukee, and other
cities.

eating the People;
By Cnbie to The Dally Gateway.
Lincoln, Nov. 5—William J. Bryan,
the defeated candidate of the demo
cratic party for president, issued a
statement on the results of the elec
tion in which he says that running for j
ollice is only incidental to his work of

raent can be perpetuated.

Geo. Marx fives Details of Output
on Cache and Other Creeks
in Yentna District.
George Marx, of the Cache Creek
Mining Company, which last week
purchased eight placer claims in the
Yentna mining district, reports that
twenty men worked on Cache creek
this summer, taking out four, live and
six ounces of gold a day. The gold in
that district runs about $17 to the
ounce, he says, and the creeks are
easy to work. The average depth of
the pay is only from three to seven
feet. Any man with a pick and shovel
and a few sluice boxes is capitalized to
operate at once.
Mr. Marx says some ground on
Cache creek paid $100 a day to the
man, and that, too, in spite of the fact
that at times there was only a half
sluicehead of water. Even the tribu
taries of Cache creek, he says, are
good. Nugget, Dollar and Falls
creeks have given the men working
them as good returns even as Cache
creek. On Rambler and Thunder
men have made $15 to $20 a day shov
eling in. He says that the Susitna
valley will be the Mecca for placer
miners for many years, and that new
strikes are made continually.
When Mr. Marx left Seward for the
outside lie intended to return in time
to get in his lumber and supplies for
next season's work.
Charles Sickles, Martin Herman,
and Fred Klingenstein came in from
their work on Cooper creek Tuesday
and sailed on the Santa Clara for the
outside. The rest of the men on Coop
er creek are expected in about the 10th
of the month.
F. W. Small is .remodeling his
building on Fourth avenue, formerly
used for theollice of the Seward Light
and Power Company. John Dubreuil
is doing the work. The ceiling is be
ing raised and a new front put in.
Bill Weaver and Joe Beety returned
from mile 34 on the Alaska Central
railway last evening and brought with
them Mr. and Mrs. Sara Gates and
Frank Bonney.
The Hotel McNeiley has every mod
ern improvement, warm and well light
