NEW ENGLAND FAvoRs. TAFT
Poll Shows He Leads All Other Presi-
Dental Candidates.

Poll Shows He Leads All Other Presi.
Dental Candidates.
Following its poll Of western states
which showed almost a unanimous de-
mand for a candidate thoroughly in
sympathy with Roosevelt's ideas the
Chicago Tribune publishes resume
OF its poll Of the New England states,
which conservative district stands for
President Roosevelt's progressive
policy, more than IS per cent of the re-
publicans ratifying Roosevelt ideas.
Sentiment for the nomination of Sec
rotary Taft or Governor Hughes is
overwhelming, and general opinion
favors both these men on the ticket.
Taft, Of course, is largely In the lead,
having received the votes of 289 re-
publican editors, senators and con-
gressmen, for first choice out Of to-
tai of $40, while Hughes was given
1879 for first choice preference, re-
markable and significant showing for
a public man who has been before the
people for SO short time. A year
ago he was scarcely known except for
his progress in the insurance investi-
cation, while today he is mentioned
as the first, second or third choice in
389 out of $40 ballots, while Taft is
first, second or third in the running
on Ala.
Figures for the secretary of war
show that in New England more than
half Of the ballots mentioned him ss
first choice; one-fifth were for sec-
ond choice, and 10 per cent were for
third.
What is perhaps most surprising of
all is that while two candidates, Taft
and Hughes, who have most frequent
ly been classed as progressive. were
so abundantly popular in New Eng
land, men like Cannon, Fairbanks,
knox and others of the distinctly con-
sentative type, have comparatively
small following. Taking ballots for
first choice Taft has more Than the
others put together, and his only real
competitor is Hughes. For second
choice, Hughes leads Taft, and for
third choice as WE'LL
