TAFT AS VOTE GETTER.

with the opening of the Roosevelt
dent Taft for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination, the New York
World has delved into the records OF
the past to determine the relative
vote-getting capacity of the two men.
The assumption is made with good
reason that the next Presidential cleo
ton will be determined in the States
of New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Missouri.
In 1904 Roosevelt polled S59,5i3
votes in New York; in 1908 Taft
polled $1,000.
In 1904 Roosevelt polled GOO,O95
votes in Ohio; in 1908 Taft pollcd
572,3l2
In 1904 Roosevelt polled 3GS, 2S9
votes in Indiana; in 1908 Taft pollcd
34S,993.
In 1904 Roosevelt polled G32, G4j
votes in Illinois; in 1908 Taft polled
629,929
In 1904 Roosevelt polled 32l ,449
votes in Missouri; in 1908 Taft polled
BAT ,2O3.
Taking these five States together,
Roosevelt polled 2,7Sl,99l votes to
Taft's 2,769,5O7. a difference in ROose-
velt's favor of only l2,4S4.
MIR. Roosevelt, however" com
mcnts Re World, was running
against Judge Parker, who proved to
be the weakest candidate the Demo
Gratis ever nominated for President
Mr. Taft was running against Mr.
Bryan, who polled more votes than
were ever before cast for a Demo
cratic Presidential candidate. In the
five States referred to, Mr. Bryan In
| 1900 had pollod 2,3l3,S35 votes, but
Judge Parker four years later pollet
only l926,9lS, showing that 1861
| Democrats in these States who sup
ported Mr. Bryan in 1900 refused t.
support Judge Parker in 1904. Ye
with this tremendous advantage II
the matter of opponents, Mr.. Roose
welt in 1904 received only l2,4S4 NOR
votes than did Mr.. Taft in 1908"
So 1t appears from this, that, whit
not discrediting the popularity of MI
Roosevelt. President Taft is a vote
getter of the first order when it come
to tough fight Admittedly that |
what the President is up against now
and II Is one of the situations i
which he has always made good.
