THE TAFT BANDWAGON.

In the progressive contest for dele
gates to the Republican National Con-
vention the combined opposition to
Secretary Taft has demonstrated thus
far strength that falls far short of
being impressive. Barring the fact
that four states that viii each cast a
large vote in the selection of the presi-
Dental candidate are either actually or
concededly committed to the support of
a ''favorite son, the entire opposition
vote to the Ohio candidate is not only
scattering, but of insignificant volume.
And the signs Of the weakness and in
sincerity of the favorite-son program
are constantly multiplying and magni-
Tying. For instance, Illinois is conced-
edly for Speaker Cannon, and will send
a delegation for Cannon to the conven-
ton. But it will be secondarily, as to
three-fourths of its voting strength at
least a Taft delegation. The Peoria
county convention, which met last
week, passed a Cannon resolution which,
in the windup, is emphatically Taft
resolution.
AS it is in Illinois, so it is in New
York, Pennsylvania and even Indiana.
The delegation from each Of the states
will be solid for the home candidate
the favorite son-as a courtesy. The
logic of the existing situation is Just
as. accurately gagged, however, in New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois
as it is in other states that are depend
ed upon to supply Republican MAORI
ties in presidential elections and which
are not being at the outset embarrassed
by any 'favorite-son" candidate.
When New York breaks and the break
may come before the result of the first
ballot is announced there will be
rush for the Empire State representa-
ton to Taft. tits even now a pretty
safe prophecy that there will bea siren
Uous race on the part of delegations
from the. favorite-son states to get into
the Taft columns as early and as grace
FULLY as the decencies Of the situation
viii permit.
The Taft column, at the end of last
week, still maintained the ratio of two
votes to every one of the opposition.
And the tabulating Of 800 votes for Taft
to "a for the opposition is upon a count
ing that comedies to the opposition all
the contested votes. This is, of course,
too liberal by half, There may be
contesting delegation from every one Of
the Southern States that, in fact.
seems to3be the predetermined plan of
the forces that are opposing the Taft
candidacy but even if there should be
and if such opposing delegations
should be admitted to the convention.
which latter is not at all likely, the nom
mating result Twill not be controlled
thereby. The Republican presidential
candidate will be. made.by those states
which usuallyl turn in Republican ma
jorities at national elections, and by the
combinediyote of..these states Mr.. Taft
will be nominated.

DEMOCRATIC CONTESTS.

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. with
the gubernatorial nomination still
unsettled and with prospects of live
ly sessions ahead involving fights be-
tween Charles F. Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hall and State Senator
Patrick Fl. McCarren of Brooklyn,
over the contested seats in Kings
county. the Democratic state conven-
tion met today at noon. Senator Nc
Carren had made official his prev
iously uttered threat to bolt the con-
vention if any one of his delegates
should be unseated. The McCarren
delegates were unseated by the state
committee last night. This was not
unexpected. Senator McCarren took
to the convention today a resolution
which he declared he would present
at the earliest possible moment call
ing for a complete reorganization of
the state committee and the election
of a new membership. If the Nc
Carren delegates are unseated by the
credentials committee Senator Nc
Carren will carry the fight to the
floor of the convention.
ChanIer Leading.
Lieut.. Gov. Chanler this morning
was apparently the leading candi-
date for nomination for governor.
Tammany's leader, Murphy. mas ex-
pressed an opinion in favor of Su-

tinued efforts to convince Murphy
that Lieut.. Gov. Chanler's strength

The feature of the election was the

were almost entirely in the rural dis
tricts and show the popularity of Mr..
Gardner, Democratic candidate. who
for years had been head of the state
