PRESIDENT SURE TAFT WILL
WIN.
Claims First Ballot Will be Enough
for War Secretary-White House
Predictions Regarding Re-,
publican National Conven-
tion.

Washington, January 1O.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, t is said, told White
House callers today taat secretary OF
War Taft Will be nominated on the
first ballot at the Chicago Co1ven-
ton. The friends of the War Sec
retary are apparently very much ell
ed. The president has gone farther,
it is said, and says that Mr.. Taft will
be assured Of at least 600 of the 900
votes Of the convention on the first
ballot. He counts on a solid west, a
solid south, many of the largest mid
die western states and one-half the
New England vote. He thinks that
Mr.. Taft will have a majority Of the
New York votes, especially if Gov
ernor Hughes persists in his non-com-
initial attitude, and several votes
from other "favorite-son" states.
In the opinion Of the president,
Governor Hughes cannot hope for
hearty support as long as the public
is uninformei as to what he stands
for in national affairs, and the other
presidential candidates will nave few
votes in the coming convention ex-
cept those that they may receive from
their own states.
There is reason to believe that this
report accurately represents the pres
ident's belief. The most optimistic
reports nave been coming from the
White House lately concerning the
Taft boom. Many Of the Secretary's
friends are claiming that Taft land
slide is about due, and that delegates
are running for the band wagon from
all directions.
The administration is not letting
up in its efforts to elinch the nomina-
ton of Taft.
There will be conference at the
White House on Monday with the two
Republican referees from Alabama.
Friction has occurred there and the
president wants to smooth it out. Ma
tional Committeeman Scott, of Ala
bama, is in Washington today. He
says that his state will lead the roll
call in the convention by casting its
vote solilly for Taft.
When Congressman Waldo, Of New
York, one Of the leading Republicans
in congress, a1d a man who stands
high in political circles in his state,
was told today that the president was
claiming a signal victory for Taft to
tne entire exclusion Of Governor
Hughes. and that the latter was ap-
parently to be showed under. said:
"Unles the Taft managers steal the
-:ota of the south by absolutely i2nor-
ing the negroes that vote will, in my
opinion. 90 to Senator Foraker. The
nominating convention mas not YET
been held or have any Of the state
conventions which are to select dele
gates to the Chicago convention. /
repeat that unless that Taft people
steal the southern vote it will 60 to
Foraker. It is entirely too early to
make such a claim as is now being
made for Mr.. Taft.'' P. H. MEG.
