TAFT CONFIDENT
OF HIS VICTORY
Holds Early Morning Confer
enoe-carnegie at Meeting.
At Launching of N. Y.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Before going
to the Brooklyn navy-yard today for
the aunching of the ~superdread-
nought New York, President Taft had
a early morning conference with a
number of Republican leaders at
breakfast. Among the friends and
supporters at the breakfast were
Andrew Carnegie, Otto Barnard,
william Nelson Cromwell, John Hays
Hammond, former Representative
Herbert Parsons, G.. D. Norton, the
Presidents former private secretary.
and Chairman Hilles. of the Repub-
liean National Committee.
Rosy reports came from Republican
national headquarters in che Times
building as the result of kilograms
received from various parts of the
country. A half dozen more States
were claimed IS certain for Taft, and
the visit of the President to New
York was considered of big moment
as a vote-se1tcr.
Ohio was placed in tho G. o. p.
column, with Massachusetts, Maine,
Vermont, Tennessee, Connecticut,
New Hampshire.
President Taft held a political con-
ference of the campaign last night at
the Hotel Maphattan, listened to ''op-
timistically conservative reports of
conditions in various parts of the
East and began to concern himself
flIA@a. Ia
situation in the hope of saving to
the Republican party a fairly good
showing in the two houses.
The President arrived at the Penn
~sylvania station a few minutes before
6 o'clock, accompanied by Major
Rhoades and Secretary OF the Navy
Meyer. There was no crowd to greet
him and the score or so of people who
happened to be about failed to ae-
cord him a single cheer. Preceded by
four motorcycle policemen he went TO
the Manhattan Hotel in an automo-
bile and had dinner there with his
two brothers, Charles p. and Henry
W., Chairman Charles d. Hilles, of
the national committee, and Senator
w. Murray Crane. of Massachusetts.
After the conference President Taft
made the following statement:
"A number of distinguished gentle
men have conferred with me tonight.
We are in entire accord as to the
wisdom the American people would
show If they reelected me; also as to
the reasonable probability that they
will do So
Beyond that statement the Presl-
dent would not discuss the confer
enee.

16,445,OOO MAY
VOTE AT ELECTION
Equal Rights Will Permit 60
900 Women to Cast a
Ballot.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Approxi.
mately 1856, 900 men and $1,000
women In the United States will cast
ballots in the presidential election on
Tuesday next. This estimate was
made by the Census Bureau and
represents as close an approximation
as it Is possible to make in advance
of the election itself. The number of
votes cast in the presidential cleo
ton of 1908 was 14,SSS,442.
There are 26.999, 151 males of ali
races and colors in the United States
who are over the voting age of n,
but 3,75S, 5S7 of these are tu~reign.born
and cannot vote because OF non-citi-
zenship. This leave 90, $50. $50 native
born males of voting age, who. IL
some restriction does not stand in
their way, can avail themselves of
the right of franchise. Census figures
show, however, that only 20 per cent
of potential voters. as they are
called, actually cast their ballots.
The main factors of voluntary dis
qualification, according to the Cen
/ S0S Bureau. arr ltllult w Nplt anu
failure to register. The main factors
of Involuntary disqualification are
| sickness, inability to establish or pos-
sess n legal residence, conviction of
crime and inability to pass State IL
literacy tests.
Illiteracy Is the chief factor in re-
ducing the negro vote. There are app
| proximately $500, 900 negro males of
! voting age. OF these censu officials
| estimate that fully 5000 0 will be
unable to cast ballots because of H.
literacy test laws in several North
ern States. and in most of the South
ern States.
There are six States in which
women will be able to vote this year.
They are California, Colorado, Idaho,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming. III
these States in 1910 there were 1896,
92b females of voting agv, OF whom
654, 7S4 are native born. More than
100000 of them may actually cast bal
lots on election day.
