WHOM FIRST BALLOT
TAFT CLAIMS HTS NOMINATION
IS ALREADY ASSURED.
His Managers Can See SOP Votes Now
Will Get All South Except Ken
lucky and okIahoma-LeaVes Big
oest States Except New York for
Other Presidential Aspirants.

Secretary Taft expects to be nomi-
mated for president on the first ballot
in the republican national convention.
He expects to get at least SOP votes
out of $50. The number necessary to
nominate is 491.
For the first time since the Taft
campaign opened its managers tonight
reduced their general predictions to
concrete form.
This is the way they line up the va
rious states and sections Of the coun-
try:
States which have declared for Taft
through central committees: Califor-
mia, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Mich
igan, West Virginia and Ohio; total,
1870 votes.
States which are sure for Taft: The
entire south, with the possible excep-
ton of Kentucky and Oklahoma; total,
240 votes.
States which are reasonably sure for
Taft: Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana and Iowa; total, 70.
Territories sure for Taft, IL; grand
total, SOP votes.
In the Probable Glass.
To make up for possible deficiencies
among the states classed as reason
ably sure" the Taft folks expect to
draw from the following, classed as
probable: New York, SO votes out
of a possible 7S; Massachusetts, 80;
Connecticut, IA; Idaho, 6; Oregon, 8,
and Washington, 10; total, 109.
From this district would also come
enough votes to make up for possible
split delegations from Ohio and Iowa.
Classed as possible" are all the rest
of the states of the Union excepting
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois,
which the Taft folks graciously con-
cede to Knox, Fairbanks and Uncle
Joe" Cannon, respectively.
These figures are understood to
have been approved by Charles P.
Taft, the secretary's brother, who left
Saturday for Cincinnati, after a two
days visit in Washington.
Coincidental with his departure was
that of Senator Foraker, also for Ohio
but they did not take the same train.
Taft Has Big Lead in Ohio.
A statement given out at the Taft
headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, says:
Including the counties which acted
today calls have been issued by the
republican committees in 70 counties
providing for the election, under the
full provisions of the call of the state
central committee, of TIC out of a
total of SIS delegates.
In over nalf the counties, including
most of the large ones, and represent
ing over 600 delegates, Taft has been
formally Endorsed by county commit
tees. Taft tickets of delegates are in
the field everywhere. Lake county,
where an independent ticket is prom
ised in opposition to the Taft ticket,
furnishes the only opposition known.
Lake county has four delegates"
