TAFT HAS 457
INSTRUCTED MEN
Fairbanks Has Only Solid State
Delegation Back of
Him.
(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 18th,
Republican delegate-making perioS
closed Saturday and the lists are now
completed for the Chicago convention
| The active rivalry of the candidates
for votes began in February and has
| continued for three and a half months
| There are contests to be decided and
| uninstructed delegates that may be
won over, but the campaigns before
| the Republican voters have all been
ccI Guided.
Secretary Taft is conceded 457 in
structed delegates of the $50 chosen,
if the Texas delegates, thirty-six in
all, may be regarded as instructed.
In spite of the activities of allied can
didates and claims that the result is
still in doubt, most Of official Wash
ington regards the Secretary's nomi-
nation as foregone conclusion. To
his 457 instructed delegates the Secre-
tary's managers add thirty-six dele
gates, nominated in conventions which
passed preference resolutions. A good
portion of those were in Massachu-
setts and Maine. Therefore, ne stands
assured of 1913 votes on the first ballot,
which are two more than a clear ma
jority of the convention.
But, apart from the thirty-six del
egates elected under preference reso-
buttons, there are 1856 uninstructed del
egates and seventy-eight contests.
From those two columns the Secre-
tary can reasonably expect to draw
a hundred votes. There are 223 other
delegates instructed for other candi-
dates, and it would be little surprise
if the Secretary received some CT
their votes on the first ballot. It is
probable he will have a margin of
fully 200 votes when the roll is called.
Vice President Fairbanks is now the
only candidate whose State is solidly
for his nomination, for six seats from
Ohio, Secretary Taft's native State,
are contested. Mr.. Fairbanks has the
thirty votes from Indiana and two
from Kentucky. Two delegates from
Pennsylvania, ex-Representative Phil
lips of Franklin, and Lewis Emory,
former candidate for Governor, have
broken away from Senator Knox and
are now counted in the uninstructed
list. Cannon, Hughes and La Toilette
failed TO get all the delegates in their
respective States of Illinois, New York
and Wisconsin. Senator Foraker has |
two delegates instructed from Georgia; |
Speaker Cannon forty-four from Illi- |
nois; Governor Hughes fifty-seven |
from New York; Senator Knox sixty
six from Pennsylvania, and Senator |
La Toilette twenty-five from Wiscon-
sin.
Secretary Taft will go into the con-
vention with delegates from thirty-five |
States and Territories instructed for |
him. These are:

are insanitary, most dangerous in case
of fire, and in some instances positive
ly immoral; for instance, in a building
occupied by men, women and children,
the board partition between the apart
ments rises as high as the side walls
but there is no ceiling, the rafters all
being exposed and access from one
room to another quite possible.

they are not so used.
