Of measurement was a system of trianglia-

height Of 77,sl2 feet. and IL is believed to

height should not be far from the truth.

for Mr. Taft at Chicago, if. indeed, he
does not receive them all.
Sentiment throughout the state

T. onouncedly in favor of Mr.. Taft's
candidacy. and the drift of public
opinion among leading commercial
and professional men, including those
who do business in New York, Is
strongly toward the secretary of war.
1t was at first supposed that in the
oommuter sections, where a large pro
portion of the voters might easily be
under the influence of New York. that
there would be tendency to espouse
the candidacy of some other man
than Mr. Taft. A CAREFUL survey of
the situation in those communities in
dicates that this is not the case. Not
only is Mr.. Taft's candidacy favored,
but the feeling prevails that New Jer-
sty's delegates should be instructed to
vote for him first, last and all the
time" In reaching the conclusion
that Mr.. Taft IS the favorlte candl-
date of the Republicans in New Jer-
sey, especial effort was made to gain
expressions of opinion from those who
are not classed either as politicians
