CONVINCED TAFT

Chairman Frank Hitchcock
Receives Figures From
Forty-seven States.
INDIANA NOT DOUBTFUL.
PLACED AMONG THOSE STATES
THAT WILL BE CARRIED BY RE-
PUBLIcANs-oHIoAN MAY CAR
RY MISSOURI.

New York, Oct. 22.-Frank H. Hitch
cock, chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, has received the final
estimate Of the vote for William H.
Taft and William J. Bryan from the
Republican national committeeman in
the forty-seven states of the union.
These estimates convince him of the
election of Mr.. Tart on Nov. beyond
all question of doubt.
According to the figures sent in,
which have been shown to the mem
bers of the executive and advisory COM
mittees of the national committee, they
indicate that Mr.. Taft will carry 80
states with a combined vote in the
electoral college of 33, with a possibil-
ity of carrying three others, with IA
votes additional.
The table allows Mr.. Bryan only IL
states, the solid SOUTH" with 1877
votes in the electoral college, with the
prospect of two doubtful states, with
81 more, a possible total of 15S. Even
if Mr.. Bryan should carry all of the
five doubtful states in Mr.. Hitchcock's
list, he would have only 172 votes in
the electoral college to 81 for Mr..
Taft.
Mr.. Hitchcock's estimate of the
states sure to be carried by the Repub-
licans is as follows: California, 10;
Colorado, 5; Connecticut, Z; Delaware,
S: Idaho, 3; Illinois, 81: Indiana, 10;
Iowa, IS; Kansas. 10; Maine, 6; Massa-
chusetts. 10: Michigan, IA; Minnesota,
IL: Nebraska, 8; New Hampshire, 4;
New Jersey. II; New York, SO; North
Dakota, 4; Ohio, %: Oregon, 4; Penn
sylvania, "a: Rhode Island, A; South
Dakota, 4; Utah, 3; Vermont, 4: Wash
| ington, 5: West Virginia, Z; Wisconsin,
Is; Wyoming, 8; total, 81.
Doubtful, probably for Taft: Mary
land, s; Montana. 5; Nevoda, 8. Prob
able to tai for Taft, 325.
Mr.. Hitchcock's table places the fol-
| lowing states in the column sure to be
carried by Mr.. Bryan:
| Alabama, IL; Arkansas. g; Florida, 5;
Georgia, Is: Louisiana, 9; Mississippi.
10: North Carolina, II: Oklahoma, Z;
South Carolina, 3; Tennessee. II;
Texas, IS; Virginia, II. Total, 127.

Once the dark man gets the first cor
rupting contact with civilization" he
said, nothing will save him but more
civilization. He must be taught some
new industry or taught to have some
part of his own in the white mans in
dustry. And when it comes to a con-
fiict with the white mans vices. he
must acquire the white mans morality
and religion or he is doomed. This

A New York lawyer was called re-
Gently to a hamlet in Berks county,

He was driving along country road
and feared he might have lost his

German woman, who stood looking at

"can you tell me how far it is to the

Is it two, four, six or eight miles?

Mr.. Shaw On Soup Honses

Former Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, in Michigan last spring, made
interesting comment on panics as fol-
lows:
cover 100000 freight cars standing
empty on the tracks; 5000 locomotives
out of commission; one-quartef of the
population of several large cities idle,
and, for the first time in republican
administration, free soup houses"
In Secretary Shaw's case, the hide
must go with the hair" that is, his COM
ment on economic conditions must be
taken zen semble," as the theatrical
critics say. His soundness on bank
guarantee must accompany equally
sound opinion on other mooted ques
tions. Now that Mr.. Taft, against
whom Mr.: Shaw labored, has been
nominated, Mr. Shaw might obtain
leave to extend his remarks in the
record and embellish his terse state
ment relative to soup houses. .... F..
He will easily overcome democratic
objection. and perhaps can get unani-
nous consent, under the rules.

The residents of a town in Massa-

stunned by the knowledge impaired to
them of the reason thereof by the state

that the cause was due to "Aphanizo-

this was added the simple advice: Get

If the republican party is the friend
of the farmer, why didn't it make a
platform demand for the government
to insure him "a reasonable profit" on
his labor, time and products? Mr..
Republican Farmer, just remember that
the republican party demands "a
reasonable profit" for the manufacturer,
but no such thing for you Not only so
but it proposes to make you pay that
reasonable profit" to the said manu-
facturer. -Maysyille Herald
Democratic voters who earnestly
desire the success of their party, be-
cause they believe its policies best

much money is needed for the conduct

it part of their party duty to con

their means. There will be a great
