TAFT CONFIDENT
OF HIS ELECTION
BASES BELIEF ON CROWDS He
MEETS
THINKS HE HAS BEEN IN REAL
TOUCH WITH PEOPLE
Republican Candidate Makes unIucIy
Number of Speeches In HIS
Swing Around Circle
In Nebraska
Eny Associated rress.I

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 1T am going
to be elected"
This statement made tonight by VIII
liam H. Taft sums up in a word what
the candidate thinks of the effort OF
his speeehmGking tour thus far.
The belief is based, Mr.. Taft ex-
planned, on the manner of his recep-
ton in states thus far traversed, In
which there were reported to be de-
fections among the Republican ranks.
AS to the national ticket, Mr.. Taft
now believes there is no reason
to doubt that the Republican party
will hold it's own. and should this
prove the case, Mr. Taft says there
is no doubt that he will get the cleo
toral vote of Wisconsin, Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Iowa and Nebraska-the
states in which the disaffection was
supposed to exist.
AZ have been in real touch with the
people," continued MIR. Taft. They
have come to see me and hear me in
numbers far beyond my anticipations,
and what seems of even more inn
portance, they have responded to what
/ have had to say in a way that l
could feel their sympathy. The de-
sire of my audiences today to get in
personal contact with me has been
marked, and shows more than pass
ing interest"
Makes thirteen SpeecneS
Thirteen speeches were made by the
candidate today in a swing around
the southeastern part of Nebraska,
terminating at Omaha tonight, where
.Wo big meetings were held, one Tor
the benefit of the stock yard employees
in South Omaha, the other in the
auditorium.
Throughout the day the crowds were
larger than usual at the short stops.
At Crete, Beatrice, Table Rock ana
Nebraska City the voice of the can
didate was entirely inadequate to reach
the limits of the crowd. At several
of the stops Mr. Taft left his car and
spoke from a platform. At praeti-
cally every sation the local band was
in attendance and the cheers which
greeted the candidate upon his arrival
and departure came with vim.
Throughout the day Mr.. Taft con-
fined his speeches to picturing condi-
tions under the last Democratic ad-
nlinistration and contrasting them
with Republican rule. AS he has done
in the past two days, he did not fall
70 pay his respects to Mr.. Bryan when
ever occasion presented itself. On sew
eral occasions he delivered his labor
speech and declared to be q lie the
statement that he ever declared that
one dollar a day was enough for any
laboring man
Omaha Welcomes Taft
Omaha's reception of the candidate
was in keeping with that accorded him
at Lincoln last night. The Ak Sar
ken carnival was in progress, and the
added illumination OF the city lent a
holiday appearance. No parade was
arranged.
Il reception committee awaited the
candidate at the station. He was
taken for a short automobile ride and
then returned to his car for dinner.
The South Omaha meeting was reached
by automobile and the return was
made shortly after 8 p. m. to the au-
ditorium, where Senator Dolliver had
been speaking to an immense audience
for an hour
