New York, June 9.-Thc Herald says:
Ten days before the national conyen-
ton the friends of President Taft are
more certain he will be nominated
than they have been at any timo in
the last few months. The Republican
National Committee has begun to pass
on the contests. or which there are
enough to decide the nomination. The
reports from Chicago show that most
of them were Instituted on behalf of
the third term candidate and are with
out merit.
All but twenty OF the delegates to
the Democratic National Convention
have been elected. Speaker Clark is
leading with the number OF instructed
delegates and Governor Wilson is sec
ond. 1t is certain. however that
nomination can be made on the first
ballot. but will come after conferences
and combinations, which may bring to
the forefront some Democrat who IS
now without delegates.
With the end of the bluff and blus-
ter which accompanied the primary
campaigns 1t has become possible to
look at the Republican situation with
u clearer vision Despite assertions of
the campaign managers. neither Pres
fdent Taft nor the third term candi-
date has enough uncontested delegates
