TAFT CLAIMS ENOUGH
DELEGATES TO NOMINATE

Jersey City, May 24.-'I have
enough delegates to re-nominate me
at the Chicago convention" That
was President Taft's declaration, to-
day, to a score or more Republicans,
who met him at the luncheon given
in his honor by State Senator Fre-
of New Jersey at Somer-
Vile
The Presidents second campaign
ing day through the state was one
of the hardest ever. He motored
over dusty roads of New Jersey,
talked to thousands of persons, who
commute in and out of New York
each day, and continued to attack
Col. Roosevelt.
The crowds that met the president
were large and fairly demonstrative.
His commuter audiences were un-
usually enthusiastic and although
he started ou' in the morning with
but little of the fsh ting spirit he
showed in Ohio. nc wound up as the
day grew olde' and before he made
his last speech, here, tonight, he
was in his old stride, and was talk

LA TOILETTE DECLARES
HE MUST BE PICKED
AS REPUBLICAN WINNER

Newark. N. j., May 24.-'If you
want to look at winner, take a
look at me" said Senator LaFollette
to a big audience in the auditorium
here, tonight. The Senator was near
the close of hard days campaign
ing, which had taken him from the
regions along the ocean shore to
Ashbury Park, Long Branch and
Red Banks, and which was to see
him and his speaking for the night
with an address at Patterson. ..
In his Newark address, LaFol-
lette followed largely the lines of
speeches he had made at other
places during the day He rehears-
ed the history of his campaign and
alluded to what he declared had
been the effort to have him run in
the real interest of another Repub-
lican candidate, declaring that he
was mo stalking horse" for any
body and would never be. Neither
President Taft nor Col. Roosevelt
could win at Chicago and he point
ed to himself as the logical and win
ming candidate for the nomination.

Camden, N. j., May Give are
going to beat the politicians right
out in New Jersey, next Tuesday. /"
said Col. Roosevelt, at the close of
his second days campaigning.
when we got through with them In
Pennsylvania there were not enough
left for coal scuttie."
Col Roosevelt made swing
through New Jersey, today, travel
ing from New York to Atlantic City,
and thence across the southern part
of the state to Camden. From this
city he went to Trenton.
Col. Roosevelt did not mentioa the
name of President Taft during the
days trip. In Camden he replied to
a statement, which Mr.. Taft was re-
ported to have made.
"Mr, Taft says that if my pro-
posal for referendum Of judlciel
decisions were adopted" said the
Colonel there would be nothing to
prevent legislature from repeating
the thirteenth. fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments to the eonstitu-
tion and disfranchising the negroes.

Chicago, May 24--Neither Taft

structed or pledged delegates, the
required number to nominate, in the
cording to opinions expressed during
a discussion of the probable lineup
by members of the national commit
tee, here, today. The members
agreed that the control of the con-
vention would be in the hands OF
the uninstructed delegates but
would vouchsafe no guess as to what
their action might be in the matter
of selecting a candidate.
Test in Committee.
A supporter of Taft, on the COM
mittee, declared that even If Roose-
welt won all the delegates yet to be
chosen, he still would be short of
the necessary $40 votes. 1t is ex-
pected that the first real test vote
between the opposing forces, would
be on the adoption of report OF the
committee on credentials.
Every contest passed upon by the
National committee probably will be
taken before the eommitte on ere
dentials and fought out on the floor
of the convention. The committee,
it is predicted, will be about evenly
divided, and majority and minority
reports are almost certain to be pre-
sented to the convention.

but lightly dealt with in the ordinary

the sport.
