that Mr.. Roosevelt received nearly
10000 Democratic votes in the recent
primaries and II was a notorious fact
that he advertised for Democratic
votes in the Massachusetts newspa-
pers. If these figures are correct. he
was really defeated by President Taft
by a majority OF more than 10000 Re-
publican votes.
The effect of the Massachusetts VIC

WASHINGTON, d. c., May DE
spite the utmost eXertions OF Col.
Roosevelt and his supporters. all indi-
cations stlll point to the triumph of
Mr.. Taft in the Chicago convention.
This feeling of security continues to
be based on the theory that a major
ity of the Republican National Com
mittee are friendly In the President
and will decide all contested delega-
tons in his favor Otherwise, the vic
tory of Col. Roosevelt could not well
be avoided. II seems certain that
the members of the National Commit
tee have been thoroughly canvassed
and u decided majority found to act
in behalf of the President.
The loss of Illinois, Pennsylvania
and even Maryland doese not serious
ly affect Mr.. Taft's chances. II other
States regarded as safe come to his
timely assistance all will be well in
the end. The Presidents pride has
been considerably humbled, because
he did not expect reputation in I'LL
nois and Pennsylvania, but success
at the last will contribute some balm
to the sore spots.
No set of figures can be found at
this time on which to prognostiCate
the nomination of Col. Roosevelt at
Chicago Mr.. Taft has had good
safe lead from the beginning and Mr.
Roosevelt entered the race too late
An earlier announcement of his can
didacy might have told different
story.
Say South Is Safe.
Taft managers insist that the South
will remain hitched and there is no
danger of any Southern delegations
becoming alarmed and making a rush
for the Roosevelt bandwagon. This
is denied in the case of Mississippi
where the delegations are supposed
to be much alarmed by the turn OF
events and are awaiting an opportun-
ity to make their peace with the
Colonel's adherents. 1t is declared
that these delegates are safely roped
and nailed down.
Friends of President Taft have
given Col. Roosevelt severe drub-
bling on his utterances concerning
pernicious political activity on the
part of Federal oiliceholders. The
