While complete returns are lacking, tt teems probable that the Democrats also have elected governors of Nebraska and possibly In West Virginia. In the latter state the vote is very close, but the Indications are that Cornwell, the Democratic candidate, has outrun the national ticket and will pull through. Montana also reverses her electoral vote on state issues, and electa a Democratic governor. Democratic successes are con fin on to the solid south, in which Kentucky Is Included, and Mr Parker has not carried s single state which did not give iu vote to Mr. Bryan four years ago. Unofficial returns indicate that he has lost some of those Which the Nebraska candidate held for his party. Official figures from some pf the northwestern states may sllghtly change the totals, but based* on the returns available, the electoral vote stands as

There wes no disposition to hope against hope. An state after state sent in Its Republican majority and the wires told the tale of the ballots, bringing even from those commonwealth's upon which they had based their figures of Democratic success, reports of unprecedented Republican majorities, they frankly conceded their defeat and offered no explanation.
