her she must give up her daughter or
him. 1t Is reported he said the girl
couldn't enter his home again because
of her notoriety.
Johnson's hearing on the abduction

of the postponement was that the

He was assured johnson was not

Iowa Favors WILSON.

Des Moines. Iowa. Oct. 29.-Defec-
tion OF TAFT republicans to the cause Of
woodrow Wilson may turn Iowa into
the democratic column this year. That
Is the way the situation looks Just
now. However. Mr.. Roosevelt is run
ming hard and fast and is not to be
counted out. His friends and hackers
are legion. and they are as enthusias.
TIC as they are numerous.
Were 1t not that the republican nar.
ty leaders In the state are believed to
nave decided that President Taft can.
not under any twist of circumstances
make a winning fight. there would bo
another story to tell. Well-based re-
ports indicate. that these leaders have
reached just such conclusion. and
by the same token have let It be-
known that the quickest way to de.
1eat Mr. Roosevelt is to vote for Gov.
Wilson. This indicates a vast secret
tide OF republicans, numbered by some
at 100000. toward the democratic side
on November 5.
All straws point with conclusiveness
to this eventuality. Out Of a total of
6,1SS test ballots gathered in Iowa the
distribution Of votes was as follows:
Taft, 1854: Roosevelt. 1916: Debs.
3l2. Wilson, 2,255: Chain. IS.
Comparisons With 1908.
Taft's vote in 1905 was 275.21O:
Bryan's. 20O.771; Chains. 1887. and
Debs'. S.2s7. On the straw vote Taft
will get 30.3 per cent of the total vote.
Wilson 43.5 per cent. Roosevelt c9.o.
Chain 1, and Debs s. On this esti-
mate. therefore. the indicated vote Of
each candidate on November will be:
Taft 100. 800; Roosevelt. 144,279;
Debs, 29.646: Wilson. 214.936: Chain.
4491
The socialist vote looks extremely
strong and the prohibition vote small
compared with four years ago.
On the basis Of switching from par.
ty to party and applying the percent
ages gained from straw vote changes
to the vote of 1908. Gov. Wilson's in
dicated plurality in Iowa would be
the returns. 1t would be 36.4S6. It 10
shown that MIR. Taft will receive 35.5
per cent Of the republican vote. 3.S per
cent of the democratic and 3.4 per
cent of the socialist. or a total per cent
of 21.2.
Wilson's Percentage Nearly 45.
Mr. Roosevelt will get 40 per cent
Of the democratic. and 11.s per cent
Of the socialist-a total per cent Of
27.5. Mr.. Wilson, with 2l.5 per cent
of the republican vote. 81 per cent of
the democratic. and 1914 per cent Of
the socialist. has a total percentage of
449S.
The results in numerals are: TAFT,
104.495: Roosevelt, 136.061: Wilson.
222.547: Debs. 20.632.
If the belief that thousands Of re-
publicans now silent will vote for Mr..
Wilson next month turns out true the
democratic nominee should net a
much larger plurality. Then again.
just on the eve Of election there al
ways Is a certain drifting back to the
'old parties by many who have previ-
ously determined to desert There
fore the situation. despite the Wilson
outlook. is not settled.

Who WOULD TAKE

Question Of Filling Place on
Ticket Being Considered
By Republicans.

Washington. Oct. 2s.-The illness Of
Vice President Sherman. and specula-
ton over possibilities Of his with
drawal from the. republican ticket be-
cause of the precsrtous condition Of
his health, aroused discussion here
today over the probable methods of
filling his place.
that the republican national commit
tee or the executive committee pos
sessed power to flll vacancy upon
the ticket. No one here processes to
know whether the Chicago convention
specifically provided for such an
emergency. The report of the 1908
convention does not appear to show
that such a provision was made then
and the stenographic report of the
convention this year has not yet been
printed.
Should a vacancy occur upon the
republican ticket, either before or
after election. some republican lead
ers here today argued the electors
would have power to vote for any
candidate for vice presidency they
might choose. Precedents were ad-
clared that only party discipline and
honor had in the past hound electors
to vote for their party nominees. No
one suggested. however. that a choice
by the republican national committee
or its executive committee would fail
to receive the support Of the Taft
electors.
Ordinarily should there be no vice
president, the president pro tenn of
the senate would preside over that
body and the line Of succession to the
presidency would be to the secretary
Of state. For the last several months,
however. the present senate has been
unable to agree upon a president pro
tenn and that ONCE has been vacant.
Some time ag4 It was learned to-
day. Chairman Charles d. Hilles Of
the republican national committee
made exhaustive inquiries as to the
necessity of certifying to the various
secretaries Of states. the names of the
republican candidates and ais a result
certified the names Of Taft and Sher-
man for printing upon ballots In al
states. A supplemental petition, how.
ever. probably wf,ild be accepted In
most states where ballots have no,
already been printed. The procedure
where ballots are already printed IL
not known.
Possibility II even a remote one. lat
there might he no republican candi-
date for vice president suggests many
interesting possibilities in the event
that the election should go to the

New York Herald's Poll Shows
Taft Third But Gaining Steadil,

New York. Oct. 2s.-Gov. Wilson
stu well in the lead!
Mr.. Roosevelt second.
President Taft third. but making
gains In many parts Of the country.
These are the relative positions in
the great presidential race. as indicat-
ed by the New York Herald's canvass
Of the nation, and with election only
q week off.
Each Of the three principal rivals
for the great office is gaining in some
sections. All are losing in some.
President Taft has made marked ad-
vances in some sections Of the far
west. He has made further gains in
Pennsylvania- The republicans in
ence with activity. and are making d
real campaign for their nominee. This
sudden reversal Of form on the part
Of organization managers has greatly
stiffened up the Taft men and given
them new hope.
Colonel Gains in Illinois.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made gains in
has developed much strength. He Is
holding his own in practically all the
states where he led last week. Gov.
Wilson has gained also. but, on the
whole. has Just about held his own.
This is accounted for by the theory
that he had a flying start" and could
not be expected to increase his lead.
In a nutshell. the situation. as re-
vealed by the New York Herald's 200,-
900 and more test ballots and reports
from scores Of correspondents. is as
follows:
Gov. Wilson has touched his high
mark. Mr.. Roosevelt has reached tn .
dent Taft Is making slight but steady
"Sympathetic'' Vote Small.
From what can be learned, the at
tempted assassination Of Mr.. Roose-
velt will not greatly strengthen him.
Indications are that there will be an
additional sympathetic or sentimental
suficient to be Of material aid. One
result. however, which is highly i'm
portant from the Roosevelt point of
view, is that the attack upon him has
braced up wavering "bull moosers,'
as they term themselves. and they
are backir~ the nominee. Mr.. Roose-
welt. with new enthusiasm.
Just how extensive the sympathetic
vote will he It is impossible to tell.
The managers Of the Roosevelt cam
paign do not believe It will greatly
help them.
A politician Of years. experience and
Of political Judgment estimated, after
thorough inVeetlgatlOn IN Connecti-
cut. that Mr.. Roosevelt would receive
1000 votes in the Nutmeg state as a
result Of the attack upon him.
With the fight entering it's final
stages, political leaders have now be-
gun to ask ono another II the under
current which. while not Of great
force. has without doubt set in for
President Taft. will be Of suhicient
strength to sweep him into second
Mace and ahead Of Mr. Roosevelt
They are beginning to ask ono an
other also II all the straw votes and
all the personal opinions. which asree
in many instances. are to be upset by
some element which has not yet come
