The Chicago Tribune makes the
assertion that It's poll Of the New
England states shows that those
states are Overwhelmingly for wiz
liam H. Taft for the Presidential
nomination. It's votes were receiv-
ed from about FIVE hundred and
twenty Republican congressman.
editors. legislators and party lead
ers, He received more votes than
all the Others mentioned for the
place together. The vote was not
taken, however, in reference to
Roosevelt. but shows that Taft IS
the second choice, when 1t comes
to him, as the majority Of all who
would be for Roosevelt are for Taft
in the event Roosevelt does not run.
With Roosevelt out OF the way, Il
the Tribune's vote counts for aught.
it means that the New England
states will be solid in convention
for Taft and give him their eighty
two votes.
On the Presidential proposition
the Tribune has also polled the Mid
die West Republicans, comprising
eleven big States, namely, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kan
sas. The poll shows that Taft is
overwhelmingly the choice of eight
States, with Roosevelt not running,
and second choice in Indiana, Illi-
nois and Wisconsin. which have
.'favorite sons Its figures show
one hundred and sixty votes for Taft
on the first ballot of the national
convention and two hundred and
seventy votes on the second ballot,
from these eleven States alone.
AS Taft, according to the Tribune's
poll. is the choice of eighty per cent.
of the Republicans of Ohio and
seventy seven per cent of the Re-
pubIicans of New York. there IS
every reason to believe he will get
solid delegations from these two
States, which count great deal In
the national convention.
And, thus. if the Taft sentiment
keeps up as the Tribune poll is taken
and the latter shows It as strong in
few more States as in those men
toned, Taft's nomination is a fore
gone conclusion, unless Roosevelt
himself is prevailed upcn to accept
another term, in which event the
Taft and all other forces in the con-
vention will go to Roosevelt, and
Mr.. Taft himself would not expect
the nomination under such circum-
stances.

A Local Dopist,s story.

There is a political dopist in this
neighborhood that knows more
about dope than he does about
politics, as recently emphasized
by the stuff he sent out about Ell
lott Northcott being decided upon
for the governorship. He has not
awakened to the fact that Elliott
Northcott does not want the job and
that his name is not being even re-
motely considered now. The Tele-
gram has always thought Nortcott
would make a good governor, in
truth, has time and again advocated
him for the place, we'll knowing
that he would prove himself fine
governor, but there is no use trying
TO make him take 1t. and, in this
section he was long since taken at
his word, and no one hereabouts.
who knows any politics or that he
declined to take the job, mentions
him in that connection. 1t is only
the dopist who knows dope and not
politics who gets up the fancy
stories such as that about North
colt going to run for governor. The
only real truth in the dopist's story
was that Stuart Reed would be the
next secretary OF state. We all be-
lieve that to be true and we all
want ii to prove true.

MR.. WILL 7. STANFIELD
DIED QUITE SUDDENLY
Well Known Man Passes
Away Here
HIS DEATH QUITE A SHOCK TO ALL
III Health for Some Time Probably

Alone at Home on College
Street Here.
HIS DEATH QUITE A SHOCK TO ALL

Mr. William T. Stanfeld died short
ly before noon yesterday at his resi-
dence here on College street. He was
alone at the time, his family being
out of the city, and the nature of his
death can only be surmised by those
who found him there an hour later.
His sudden death was quite a shock
to his relatives and many friends
throughout the city.
But an hour before he was down
town, and while still weak from re-
cent illness, talked pleasantly and
rather cheerfully of his condition to
friends he met.
Mr.. Stanfeld had been quite i'll for
the past ten days, and had been in
the city hospital during that time
Wednesday evening he had sufficiently
recovered to leave the hospital and
had returned to his residence on Col
Iege street.
Yesterday morning he came down
to the city, but after an hour or two
returned u MS home.
Soon thereafter, Mr. F. P. Harold
who resides next door, was called by
a servant, who reported Mr.. Stanfield
dead. Mr.. Harold made hurried
investigation and quickly summoned
other neighbors and also called ply
stefan.
But Mr.. Stanfield was beyond hui
man aid. Near his bedside was a
phial of acid and a note.
Mr.. Stanfield was born and reared
in Americas and widely known here,
where his genial disposition and affa-
BILE manner won him friends among
all. Except for a few years in the
army, in his youth, all of his life was
spent here.
Besides his wife and little daughter,
Thelma, who recently have been at
Asheville, N. c., Mr. Stanfield is sur
vived by his aged father, sister and
six brothers, to whom the sympathy
of many friends is extended in their
bereavement.
The funeral services will take place
on Saturday, the hour to be announ-
ced tomorrow morning.
