PRESIDENT CONFIDENT.

The President expressed to al his trlends
TO-DAY the utmost confidence regarding his
nomination at Chicago. lie believes that,
wholly irrespective OF New Jersey he has
more than enough delegates TO effect MS
nomination on the first ballot he does no'
regard any Of the primaries which nave
been won by Nj Roosevelt as indicative OF
the sentiment Of the party, for the reason
that IN every instance where Nj. Roose-
welt has been victorious he has polled so
small percentage 81 the total Repuphcah
vote The President has always had MS
nlisgivinzs regarding the efficiency OF pop
ular primaries to afford an accurate indica-
ton Of the wishes Of majority OF the
voters. and he feels that in all the states
where they have been tried they have
faned because of the unvillnsness Of tn
voters 70 go 10 the polls He by no means
rnnimizes Nj Roosevelts ability to work
his supporters UP 70 fury Of enthusiasm
and h regards the small percentage of the
Republican voters who have gone to the
primaries and registered their votes for the
eX-PreSident as significant OF the smalI
amount of Roosevelt sentiment there Is
even in those states in which a majority
OF the votes cast have been Tor him. Thost
who have been investigating the Roosevelt
contests assure the President that there =
nothing TO them, and that the national
committee. acting with the strictest ana
most impartial justice. Will be compelled TO
decide against every Roosevelt contestant.
which will. of course, give the President a
comfortable ma jority.
