Stretched above, as stated was a large

TAFT VERY STRONG
WITH SOUTHERNERS
Canvass Indicates That He
Will Be Their Choice
for Nomination.
NEWSPAPER POLL SHOWS HIM A
FAVORITE, WITH LESS LEAD
HOWEVER THAN HE HAS IN
SOME OTHER SECTIONS.
BY Hearst News Service.

Chicago, H., Sept. 20.-Under The
caption, South For Taft Despite Re
volt" in the Chicago Tribune, Ray
mond, the Washington correspondent
writes in part as follows:
Although the politicians have been
guessing a good deal about it, the &C
tual fact as to the breakup among
the Southern Republicans, as betweeA
the whites and the blacks, was not
fully understood until the Tribune'S
poll was taken.
1.-The Southern states of Arkansas,
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia,
cast a total of 607 votes in the Trib-
une test. 1t is significant that out
of this total there are So, or nearly
10 per cent. of the whole, which were
dictinctly in opposition to the progress
sive policy of President Roosevelt.
According to the tabuiated re-
turns, Taft leads as presidential
choice, as he has in every other Sec
ton of the United States. The re-
turns show that he is the first choice
OF 35S of the voters, with Fairbanks
following with 81, Foraker with AZ,
Hughes with 48 and Cannon with 81
ut is worth remembering at the
same time that while Taft was chosen
by seventy as their second choice,
Hughes rolled up 1913, Fairbanks sc,
Cannon IS, and Knox SO. For third
place Hughes was mentioned by 107,
Fairbanks by 80, Cannon by 112, and
Knox by II.
1T will be seen that while Taft and
Hughes ran ahead, as they do in other
sections, the competing candidates,
Fairbanks, Cannon and Knox, make
much better showing in the first, Sec
ond and third choices in the South,
than they dosin the Northern sections
outside of the 'favorite SON. states:
for instance, Fairbanks is mentioned
by only Ia IN New England, which
section he stumped industriously last
fall,
so, too, Uncle joe Cannon is men
toned for first, second or third choice
by PIT Southern Republicans, whereas
he received only 1877 votes for the six
New England states, although he
swung around the circle and made
speeches in Maine and Vermont dur
ing the height of the campaign last
year.
Putting these two things together,
it seems that the conservative ele-
ment in the South which is made up
partly of disgruntled negroes. partial
ly of disappointed white Office seek
ers, and partially by the property own
ing class which is looking for stabil-.
ity of development, are feeling around
for a candidate to head off Roosevelt
