Observers ot6er - to the total
number Of votes that will be cast
-Four years ago Bryan received S2.s4s
Virginia ballots. while Taft received
paralleled apathy which exists. It
seems doubtful IL Wilson can poll a.
many votes as were given to the
Democratic nominee for President In
1905 The Republican vote win be d.
vided between Taft and Roosevelt. In
fact. - far a. virgiuia's attitude in
the national contest Is concerned. the
principal interest IL as to whether
Taft or Roosevelt will run second.
II tho local meetings In tho Ninth
District. at which delegates were
chosen to the Republican District Con-
vention. can be taken as q criterion.
IL would seem that . majority Of the
@. O. p. adherents there were SYM
pathizers Of the Bull Moose. 1t =
agreed that har = majority in the Bris-
tol convention. but were either OUT
generated there or else lost part OF
their force because Of personal adj
mirasion for Representative c. f.
Siemp.
Progressive candidates in other dis
trictS are likely to pull out Q gooo
vote for the head II that ticket, 20
that It IL not at all improbable that
~u0u INC Ok1AC1&l vOS08 arc OOOutc0 ~
will be found that Roosevelt has dis
tanced Taft-shis although the states
delegation ut Chicago voted almost
unanimously for Taft II 10 quite q
sporty bet a. between Taft and R3ose-
volt in Virginia.
