AN ASSAY OF TAFT CONTESTS

Talk about liberality that tends to
enlargement of theheart, how does the
Sc -.osity with the other candidates

hundred and nineteen seats were in
dispute, involving nineteen states and
territories. Of the 219 seats the Taft
crowd annexed ZIG for themselves
and let Foraker have three. Mathe-
matically speaking. the candidates
other than Taft got 1888 per cent of
the contested delegates, while the
secretary got the other 9S.612 per
cent, the figures representing about
the proportion of justice melted out to
the anti-Taft men.

It was worse than a simple case of
