TAFT NOMINATION
APPEARS ASSURED
ON FIRST BALLOT

Impartial Canvass of Situation Shows
Roosevelt is Far Behind.
New York, March 23.-Taft forging
ahead; Roosevelt slipping back.
That is what The New York Her
AIDS impartial canvass Of the Repub-
lican presidential situation shows at
the close Of the third week since Mr..
Roosevelt threw his hat into the ring.
Careful study Of the reports from
unbiased correspondents in all Sec
tons of the country indicates beyond
question that there has been no
spontaneous outburst of Roosevelt
sentiment and that Taft has been gain
ing steadily His nomination seems
assured on the first ballot
In some sections Roosevelt has
made Roadway. In some sections
there is an overwhelming sentiment
for him, as in West Virginia, and in
Northwestern Pennsylvania, but in
States where he was expected to de-
velop his chief strength he lost ground
heavily.
His defeat by La Toilette in the
North Dakota primaries was hard
blow to his canvass. His defeat in
the primaries in Indiana Friday, when
delegates to the State Convention to
be held on Tuesday were chosen,
was an added blow. President Taft
was the victor here.
Where district primaries have been
held in some sections of the West,
Mr.. Roosevelt has won easily. That
has led the managers to demand that
the Taft managers consent to pri-
maries in all States. In complete
control Of the old-time steam-roller,
the Taft managers are gathering in
the delegates in the old-fashioned
way and are refusing to consent to
primaries on the theory that they
would be fraught with frauds in the
absence of proper legal safeguards
which could not be provided, as there
would be no law governing them ex-
cept the law of parties.
Roosevelt Collapse Seen.
Taft lieutenants declare the Roose-
welt boom is on the verge of collapse.
Roosevelt managers assert that they
have by no means given up hope.
The Taft managers are filled with an
that is almost boyish.
The Roosevelt workers are far less
optimistic in their predictions than
they were week ago.
Up to date Taft has 1873 delegates
instructed, pledged or favorable to
him, as against twenty for Mr.. Roose-
welt, two for Senator Cummins and
ten for Senator La Toilette.
The list made out by William B.
manager of President
Taft's campaign, gives Taft five more
delegates than The Herald's table.
They claim the delegates from the
Third Oklahoma and Fourteenth
and seven of the eight New
Mexico delegates.

Drunkenness cut down o1.6 per cent.
Deaths cut down 2o.27 per cent.
But read the official report for yourself, submitted
by Superintendent Anderson and Adjutant Elder,
given below their signatures
If the last legislature had passed other temper
law but this one, its abors would have been we'll
worth while. This report will stand as permanent
rebuke to those who say it does good to put the
saloon away, because the liquor will be gotten anyhow
1t proves that THE FARTHER THE SALOON IS

When the horse Is perfectly free

But when we take the horse into our
