SAYS, AFTER LEAVING THE
PRESIDENT.
DID BRYAN GET MONEY?
Probably Be Found That Secret
Gifts Were Made to Democratic
Campaign Fund.

Washington ID. c.. Oct 31.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is amazed at the re-
ports from some parts of the country
that the John ID. Rockefeller an
nouncement that he will vote for Taft
is taken seriously. The president,
himself. takes the announcement as a
joke. and this afternoon authorized
the following statement:
The president has received numer-
Gus letters and kilograms showing that
this is a trick of Rockefeller's. doubt
less made by an agreement with the
democratic party. and will fail abso-
lutely. 1t is self-evident on its face.
as Mr.. Taft has said. that If Mr. Rookie
feller had really wanted him elected
he would have kept quiet about il.
and that he has come out for him as
being the way in which he can damage
him most"
In addition the following telegram
was made public from the White
House today:
dent: The labor vote will not be de-
ceived by Rockefeller's political trick.
We will bury him with Tom Johnson.

can as Is the state of Ohio. and the

Upon leaving the executive Offices.
Mr.. Kellogg said The president will
say all that is necessary regarding this
last move made by the Standard OIL
corporation to discredit Mr. Taft by
pretending to support him. will not
discuss the matter. To one thing,
however. | wish TO call attention 10
the fact that no immunity from prose-
cution of criminal complaint has been
granted to an officer of the Standard
Oil corporation
The hearing in the case to dissolve
the Standard Oil trust will come up
before the United States circuit court
in ST. Louis in February. The govern
ment is trying to secure material TO
attack the trust along new line. and
it was in connection with such new
material that Mr.. Kellogg said he
called upon the president today.
Unofficiolly It was added at the
White House today that when the facts
became known IL would probably be
found that the Standard Oil corpora
ton had supplied the bulk of the Bryan
campaign fund by means of various
hidden subscriptions If not openly.

INDIANA IS SAFE FOR TAFT, WHILE WA TSON
HAS OVERCOME MUCH OPPOSITION AGAINST
HIM AND WILL BE ELECTED GOVERNOR

will get away from him, the party
leaders believe great majority ,of
the workingmen who have been de-
luded by Gompers and other opposi-
tion speakers into the belief that Wat
sons record on labor questions has
been bad, have had their eyes opened
to the fact that it is not bad and that
Watson has never fought the meas
ures that labor demanded.
There is not likely to be much. if
any, change in the Indiana congress
sional delegation except that DR..
Charles e. Good, republican, is slated
to defeat Congressman Rauch in the
Eleventh district. The other districts
will remain as they are Although
the main effort OF the democrats has
been to defeat Congressman Foster
in the First district and Congressman
CLANCY in the Second district, their
fight has been hopeless. They have
no chance to win in either district.
These are the only districts in which
there has been a real fight by the
democrats.
There is absolutely no way to fig
ure out the next Legislature. If Wat,
son wins the legislature will of
course, be republican by a large ma
jority. If by any chance Marshall
should be elected governor it might
mean a democratic house and repub-
lican senate. This would prevent any
radical or harmful legislation by the
general assembly, for, under any cir
cumstances the democrats cannot con
troll the senate because of the large
number of hold over republican sena.
tors and no bill can be passed unless
both houses vote for it.
Taken as a whole, the situation in
Indiana from republican standpoint
has been better in some campaigns
gone by, but the republicans are go.
ing to carry the state this year, too.

there is nothing in the present situa-

a republican victory.
IOWA.
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 31.-That

to entertain the idea that he may get

CONDITIONS IN WEST
POINT TO JUDGE TAFT.
Republicans Have No Hope of
Carrying Any of the South
ern States Which Will Stand
BY Bryan.

New York, Oct 31.-Taft's star is
pow in the ascendant and the country
will undoubtedly turn to the republi-
can party next Tuesday.
The summary by states of the cleo
toral college appears to make Taft
reasonably sure of $50 electoral votes.
He needs 242. The reports on which
the forecast is based give the repub-
lican candidate the electors of all New
England. Of all the eastern states ex-
cept Maryland. of West Virginia, of
ell the middle west; or all the north
west, of Kansas, Idaho and Utah in
the Rocky moar ain section, and of
the entire Pacific coast. Mr.. Bryan
Is apparently sure of 1855 electors, in
cluding Maryland and entire south.
Kentucky is undecided and Nebras-
ka is doubtful.
States that are uncertain are Col
pradn, Montana and Wyoming, with
Il electoral votes, which have repub-
lican leanings, and Kentucky and
Nebraska, with 21 electoral votes,
with democratic lean1ngs.
Fight for the House.
The house Of representatives will
apparently be carried by the republi-
cans. despite the sensational fight
which has been made against Speak
oil ic Fri 10
reelection of Speaker Cannon appears
to be assured, although he has been
Assailed with more ferocity than any
candidate on any other ticket in the
canvass
New York has been canvassed with
care. The indicated plurality for Mr..
Taft IN the state is about 100000. It
may be more than that. 1t may be
less. Estimates of democratic and re-
publican managers in each county,
together with non-parisan estimates
made with conservatism show a
strong republican vote for Taft up the
etate and no such landslide in New
York city as would be necessary to
give Mr.. Bryan the thirty-nine elect
Ors.
The contest for the goveronrship is
close and perhaps the most remark.
eble which has ever taken place in
the Empire State. Mr. Chanler, who
started in after the Rochester conven-
tion with every prospect in his favor,
has lost ground steadily from the time
Governor Hughes went ON the stump.
Even when Hughes was absent in the
west, he was growing In New York.
The Swing" is now with Governor
Hughes. No human agency can fore
tell with certainty how the state cleo
kion is going.

What Thirteen
Governors Say


Cincinnati Times-Star. the Governors
of several States have sent to that
paper their opinions as to the out.
come of the Presidential election.
Thirteen Governors replied to the tele-
grams of the Times-Star, and their ex-
pressions furnish unusually interesting
reading. The States represented in
the symposium are New York. Ohio,
New Hampshire, Idaho, Wisconsin,
Utah, California, South Dakota, Wash
ington, Massachusetts, Kansas, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, all of which
are placed safely in the Taft column
by their respective Executives. The
gubernatorial predictions which were
made on October "a are as follows:
NEW YORK.
From the reports made to me and
from my own observation l have no
doubt Mr. Taft will carry the State of
New York by a handsome majority
Charles E. Hughes, Governor.
! OHIO.
| am confident the Republican party
will carry Ohio and Judge Taft's plu-
rality will be larger than in any pre-
vious election, except possibly that of
19O4.-Andrew L. Harris, Governor.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
New Hampshire will give the Repub-
1ican ticket substantial plurality,
electing the Taft electors, governor,
both Congressman and a majority of
both branches of the Legislature
Charles M. Floyd, Governor.
PENNSYLVANIA.
In the present campaign the people
of Pennsylvania will decide to main
tain it's record by giving Taft and
Sherman the largest majority of any
State in the Union. From present in
dications it will reach 300, ,000-Edwin
S. Stuart. Governor.
MASSACHUSETTS,.
Republican State campaign heartily
supporting National ticket. Opposi-
ton hopelessly divided and disorgan-
lied Pluralities for Republican
President and Governor should exceed
those Of 1900-Curtis Guild, Jr., Gov
ernor.
KANSAS.
think TAFT will have 10000 major
ity in Kansas. Our entire Congress
ional delegation will be reelected.
The Legislature will be safely Repub-
lican.-E w. Hoch, Governor.
WISCONSIN,.
confidently expect the Republican
majority in Wisconsin to be from
sc, 900 to $4,000. My judgment is that
Taft and the State ticket will be ac-
corded about the same vote.-James
O. Davidson, Governor.
UTAH.
Prospectus indicates that Utah will
surely go Republican on National and
State tickets by big majority.-John
G. Cutler, Governor.
IDAHO.
Idaho will give her electoral vote to
William H. Taft by at least 10000 ma
jority. We are as sure Republican as
Pennsylvania Frank r. Gooding,
Governor.
CALIFORNIA.
Taft will carry California by about
$4,000. The Legislature will be handi.
ly won by the Republicans.-James n.
Gillett, Governor.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
South Dakota is safely Republican.
Taft will carry it by from 10000 to
30,000.-Coe /. Crawford, Governor.
WASHINGTON.
Washington will give Taft at least
As. 900 majority. 1t will elect Repub-
lican Governor and Legislature. Taft's

proval of Republicans of this State
