gin Of rs, 600 to As, 900.
The Taft estimat3 lis the work Of the
forecaster of the county and state CON-
mittees of the republicans. A careful
poll has been taken of Cook county and
Is Others counties. Cook county, with
Chicago, is expected to furnish $1,000
of the Taft plurality.
The rest of the state, estimated on 8
basis of the showing Of the Is counties,
will give $50, 900. 1t is declared thst
Deneen, republican candidate for gov
ernor, will carry the state by plurality
somewhat less. The democratic forecas,
is prepared by the democratic committee.
