to tell how many are dead as q result
of the explosion, the estimates varying
all the way from 40 to 60. Tho work

ready Declared for Him-Has 25e

The Chicago Examiner says:


Secretary William H. Taft can al
most read his title clear to the repub-
Iican nomination for president, if the
forecasts of the political leaders are
reliable. Dispatches to the Examiner
from the leaders of IL states and one
territory have declared for Taft.
The states that have declared for
the presidents political executor are
Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North
and South Carolina, Texas, Virginia,
Massachusetts, Arizona, Maryland,
Alabama and Florida. OF course, the
declarations have only been by com
mitteenen and other leaders, and
there is many slip between the
prophecy and the fulflment.
The prophecies, however, give secre-
tary Taft I256 votes in convention
that will take 489 to nominate. Grant
ing that he will also get the 46 votes
of his own state, Ohio, he will have
302, and further granting that now
that he has killed the Cortelyou boom
the president can carry the. other
southern states OF Georgia, Tennessee
and Mississippi-with 70 votes-for
his favorite, when, then Mr. Taft will
have 372, or only lit less than he
needs.
