1.-The New York Herald and print
| ed in that paper Sunday, not only
shows the Wilson vote to have
made material gains over that
/ for BRYAN four years ago, but
shows the New Jersey governor,
| far in the lead of his other OPP
ponents, the nearest one being
Roosevelt, with Taft poor third
while Debs, the socialist candi-
date, shows an increase in vote
over his last race.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Taft is still third, the figures
show him to have made consider
able gains since the first forecast
was printed by that paper. This
is credited to the fact that Re-
publicans, who had at first gone
ever to the Bull Moose camp,
have changed their minds, are
returning to the fold. The sup
porters of President Taft declare
that many of the Republicans,
who at first thought his election
impossible and went with the
Moosers are now coming back
and they even claim that this
number will be sufficient to give
Mr.. Taft The election.
TAFT CLAIMS GAINS.
1t is claimed that the president
has made great gains in New
England and that if the election
were to be held now that he
would carry both New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. That, how
lever, is theory.
Straw votes taken by the Her
aid, approximating 10000 and
gathered in twenty-nine States,
taking in only Missuori, Kentucky
and Oklahoma of the Southern
group, put Wilson easilv in first
place. In twenty-three of the
twenty-nine States he is leading;
Roosevelt leads in five and Pres
dent Taft in one. The grand
total of ballots collected by the
Herald UP to this time gives Will
son 1926 Roosevelt, 2O,74s;
Taft, 13,055, and Debs, 1892.
The Herald states that its pre-
pared table, which it prints,
showing the indicated majorities
in the twenty-nine States, is
made up from the best votes taken
by its cauvassers and is not
meant as guide to what will
happen in November. 1t states
that the campaign is now in its
formulative State and changes
are occurring daily.
