MR.. TAFT PLEDGES FRIENDSHIP TO
LABOR.

wish here TO say that, no matter what Iabor
may do under the pernicious influences Of Mr..
Samuel Gompers and those associated with
him in this campaign. IL ! am successful the
political position Of labor organizations will
not deter me in the slightest from doing what
J can to aid proper labor legislation in the
future, and will not in any way diminish my
constant interest in the securing to those who
their livelihood in the sweat of their
brow as near equal opportunity for prog
ress toward better things as human society
can afford them.
] am confident that many Of the wage earn
ing class will support the Republican ticket,
because know their intelligence, and am
that they able to determine their
real interest. and will not be led astray cy

those which Mr.. Gompers is now making 20

William II. Taft at Buffalo last Hight-1
New-York tribune., 1908-10-31

Chairman Hitchcock of the Republican Ma
tionaI Committee issued his official forecast last
night as tabulated above, in which he predicted
the election of Taft and Sherman by an cleo
toral vote of 325 out of a possible 4S3 The
table issued by him includes in the Taft column
all of the states in the table printed In Inc
Tribune on Sunday. with the addition OF Mon
tana and Nevada, which were then placed IN the
doubtful list. It includes all of the states which
have at any time been Classed as doubtful py
the Republican managers. Chairman Hitch
cock now places Kentucky with thirteen votes,
and Missouri with eighteen in the doubtful list.
This leaves 1873 electoral votes for Mr.. Bryan
In the four previous Presidential elections the
Electoral College has been divided as follows:
In 1904 Roosevelt. 1885, Parker, 40; in l9oO'
Mckinley. 292; Bryan, 155; in 1895, Mckinley
271: Bryan, 176; in 1892, Cleveland, 27I; Harri-
son, 233.
The figures given out by Chairman Hitchcock
are based on returns received from the various
states up to the time they were given out All
through the campaign the chairman has been
most conservative in what he has said about
the chances of carrying any particular state In
making mis- forecast he has relied not alone on
the reports of the state chairman. but has had
advices from the county chairmen. as we'll as
independent sources of information The fig
ures have been the object of most careful study.
and Chairman Hitchcock believes that they are
conservative.
The last state to be put in the sure for Taft
coIumn by the chairman was Nevada There have
been some troubles there, but dispatches last
night indicated that everything had been
snnoothed out. Montana and Maryland have
also been recently added to the Taft column.
Nevada Montana and Maryland, in the order
named. would be the first to be cut out II
the table should be pruned down. But if nothing
unforeseen develops in these states Chairman
Hitchcock regards them sure for Taft
Most encouraging adviCes have been received
from Kentucky and Missouri, so much so as to
lead the chairman to class them as doubtful
with Republican tendencies. Kentucky gives
the greatest promise of going for Taft, according
to the reports from there. Republicans in Ten
nessee and Oklahoma have told the chairman
that those states would go for Taft. but the
chairman does not believe there is much founda-
tion for overconfidence there.
Chairman Hitchcock has figures which show
the probable Taft pluralittes in the various
states but he believes 1t to be unnecessary for
him to discuss them, they are subjects for the
consideration of the various state charmen.

BRYAN 4 7 TO I SHOT.
Bet of $40, 900 to $500 Made on
HUGHES in Wall Street.

Betting on the outcome of the election was
more active in the financial district yesterday
than at any time since the campaign opened
state election but there was more Bryan money
in evidence than there has been so far Most
of this money came from Baltimore and Atlanta
to brokerage houses with Southern connections
and was rapidly gobbled up by the Republican
hackers at odds of from : to / TO . to on
Taft. One small bet of 10 to 1 on Taft was
reported on the Stock Exchange.
There was lots of Hughes money in the Street
and considerable amount placed at odds
of from 10 to to 10 to 6 in his favor. II was
reported that some of the bets on Hughes were
placed for Tammany politicians who had given
odds on Chanler earlier in the campaign and
were hedging now that the tide had turned so
strongly in favor of the Governor.
Most Of the betting yesterday was done on the
curb. The following were some of the bets re-
ported: $4,000 to 81 900; $500 to $500. and
S7OO to S100 on Taft. Hughes was supported as
follows: 81 $50 to 81 600; $625 to $500. and $500
to S4OO There r-as plenty of Hughes money Of
fered at 10 to 6, but the Chanler adherents for
the most part wanted better odds.
These bets were reported from Stock Ex-
change houses: $4,000 to 500 Taft, and
$4,000 to $4,000 and 5000 to $4,000 on the
governorship. with Hughes the odds-on favor
ite There was one bet of $1,000 even that
Hughes would carry the state by $1,000 plural

NO .STANDARD OIL GIFT.
Has Not Contributed a Cent, Mr.
Taft Declares.
rRy Telegraph - The Tribune. ]


Buffalo. Oct. 3O-In his speech at Convention
Hall here tonight Mr.. Taft declared that the
Standard oil Company had not contributed
cent to his campaign fund.
Mfr Bryan is greatly troubled about my att-
tude toward the trusts and even more so Dy lhe
announcement that Mr.. Rockefeller is Tor me-
he said IF the Standard OIL were anxious 10
bring about my election, the last thing they
would have done would have been TO advertise
their support Of me. Therefore, this publication
of which Mr. Bryan Is making So much, seems
to me to have little significance in the attempt
to show that the Standard Oil or any other
trust because It hopes for immunity from me.
is supporting me in this campaign. That Is not
the way such things are done.
There is gentleman in your city with
most lively imagination, which Is growing even
Iivener as the responsibilities of the cam
pafgn grow heavier upon him. He conceived
the idea that the Standard Oil Company con-
trbuted a large amount to my campaign fund
in position to state most emphaticaly
that neither the Standard Oil nor any one con-
nected with its mana cement has contributed one
cent to that fund.
The administration is prosecuting standard
Oil, and it intends do until that part
which is evil is stamped out
Mr.. Taft referred. of course. to Norman f.
Mack having lively imagination.
