that 1t would be an ideal place to end
his life in quiet and seclusion.
Therefore Kruse entered the Jail
and pays Sheriff Kuhn 81 a day for
permitting him to be prisoner.
This fact was disclosed by an inves-
tigation conducted by Judge Lands

into charges that Sheriff Kuhn was
showing special favors to Dutch"
Heitler. West Side levee character,
serving thirty days for violation of
the white slave act.
Kuhn testified that Kruse was
shown a few favors because he paid

PRESIDENT TAFT
DOOMED TO DEFEAT
WEAKNESS AS CANDIDATE
MORE APPARENT EACH DAY
Republicans Control Only Twenty
Three States and Governors of
/. Eight of These are for Roosevelt
and Against Taft.

Washington, March 16.-Presiden
Taft Is doomed to defeat If he is re
nominated. His weakness as a can
dldate Is being shown every day. TIL,
standpat republicans, who are tn,
mainstay of the Taft campaign, ar,
unable to make any headway. Taft.
weakness as a candidate is clearly
shown by an analysis of the electora
vote.
In only twenty-three of the forty.
eight states is the administration now
in the hands of republicans. These
states have 230 votes in the electoral
college.
There will be 531 votes in the cleo
toral college, making 266 necessary to
elect. 1t is doubtful of the republicans
can hold the states in which they now
have the governorship.
In eight states republican COVER
nors are leading strong opposition to
Taft.
The republican voters in these
states are overwhelmingly in favor of
the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt. and
IL the president is renominated at
the Chicago convention the great
probability is that the normal repub-
lican vote cannot be brought out at
the polls in these states.
In seven other states which now
have republican governors-Califor-
mia, Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota, New
Mexico, Washington, Wisconsin,
ic al
President Taft, such that it is more
than doubtful whether any kind of
campaign that can be conducted in
case the president should be renomi-
mated would be able to bring out the
normal republican vote. These states
have an aggregate of ninety electoral
votes.
This puts 161 electoral votes, from
fifteen normally republican states, in
to the doubtful column the moment
President Taft is declared the nomi-
nee of the Chicago convention.
In case the nominee at Chicago is
Roosevelt, there is reason to suppose
that he would fail to carry many of
these twenty-three republican states.
He certainly would not carry Mary
land an Tennessee.
The Roosevelt fight, therefore,
would have to be made in states
which now have democratic admins
trations. There are twelve of these
states. Colorado, with electoral
votes; Connecticut, I: Idaho, 4; In
diana, Is; Maine, 6; Massachusetts,
is; Montana, 4; New Jersey, IA;
New York, As; North Dakota, 5;
Ohio. "a and Oregon. 5. Total, 153.
Mr. Taft lost Colorado and Nebraska
in 1908.
On any figuring which can be made
in regard to these twelve states now
administered by democratic COVER
nors Taft could not win the votes
necessary in addition to the 230
from states at present republican to
carry him to victory. If Mr.. Taft is
he will start with an
aggregate of electoral votes consid-
erably under 100, and it will be ne
cessary for him to win about IT'S
electoral votes from states that will
properly be classed in the doubtful
or possibly the democratic column.
This is practically certain. The
president will be disastrously defeat
ed If he is renominated.
