TAFT Will CARRY
STATE BY $4,000
THOMAS HALL, EXECUTIVE SEC
RETARY OF THE REPUBLICAN
CENTRAL COMMITTEE, GIVES.
OUT SOME INTERESTING fla
UREs BASED ON CANVASS.

Taft will carry North Dakota by at
least $4,000 majority" said Thomas
Hall, executive secretary of the re-
publican state central committee to-
day to Forum representative.
This is the first official prediction
that has been authorized by Mr.. Hall
during the present campaign. He is
very conservative about making
statements and never gives anything
for publication until he has some good
reason for his statement.
"Taft's majority will depend large
ly on the weather" continued Mr..
Hall. IF the day is fine so that the
farmer vote can get out in full Taft
win carry the state by 10000 but it
will not be less than $4,000.
johnson will carry the state by
from $4,000 to 18,000,'' was the fur
ther prediction made by Mr.. Hall. I'm
spite of the bitter fight made by the
democrats, Johnson is gaining strength
every day and we are now certain
that the state will go republican from
the top to the bottom of the list at
election by splendid majority. North
Dakota will have the biggest repub-
lican vote for the national ticket in
the history Of the state this year."
Every Precinct PoIied.
When asked upon what he, based
his predictions Mr.. all stated that
it was from the poll lists which have
been taken in every voting precinct
and the actual r"rults in changing
votes that have been reported to him
from big majority of the voting
80 he
list was taken. y
For instance" said Mr.. Hall, taking
large sheet Of paper from a pile.
on his desk, here is he poll list that
we have secured Of Grand Forks coun
ty. showing every poll list in the
county, the sure republicans in every
precinct, the sure democrats and the
doubtful Of both parties. That poll
list was very carefully taken and is
the result of the house to house can
vass that we have carried on there
don't want you to give all these
figures for those are our confidential
inside information regarding that
county but you can state that using
these figures as a basis we are safe
in predicting that Grand Forks county
VIII give Taft a majority of 200 and
Johnson a majority of 800. From our
figures we find that Grand Forks
county will be one of the closest coun-
ties in the state.
We have just such list as that
OF every county In the state and since
taking them we have been concentrat-
ing our efforts on the doubtful voters
We can carry the state by a good ma
jOrtty without the dnlrfff,,1 xyo+arS 80.
given our share OF them and we will
pile up splendid majority for Taft
ana Johnson, and with the work that
we nave been putting on the doubt
fuP voters there is not the least pos
sibility that we will not set half OF
them and 1t certainly looks reasonable
to believe we will get more than our
half of the doubtful ones"

Rural Mail Carriers Protesting.

Persons dropping money in mail boxes
on rural de livery routes to pay for post
age on unstamped mail matter brought
out wall Of protest from mail carriers
in the rural districts, where the practice
is said to have grown to alarming pro-
portions. The principal complaint is
that the collection of this loose coin,
especially in cold weather, involves a
lot of inconvenience and a waste of val
liable time. So great has become the
question that the PostOffice Department
has taken il up with view Of effecting
a solution Of the difficulties confronting
the rural mail carrier. Those living
along the routes of the rural carriers
are advised first, to provide themselves
with reasonable amounts of postage
stamps, but falling in this, at least to
provide a small tin box in which to de
posit coins meant for postage, and
which should be placed in the mail
boxes along with unstsmped mail mat
ter. These boxes could be easily emptied
by the carrier, and he would not be put
to the necessity of feeling for the coins
in the corners Of the mail boxes, which
s not a pleasant experience, especially
when his fingers are nearly frozen by
the cod.
