BEVERLY. Mass Sept 1S.-It de-
veloped today that IN addition to the
written and personal reports Of po-
litical conditions throughout the
country. President Taft is also re-
ceiving telephone accounts from
Chairman Hilles In New York, and. is
at every moment in complete touch
with the general political situation.
It is because Of this fact that the
President has assumed during tht
last few days a much more confident
attitude. He is convinced, IL was
learned today that he will have at
least twenty more than the 266 votes
necessary TO ensure his election in
the electoral college and these flgures
are, both the President and his clos
est advisers claim, very conserva-
tive. The President feels certain that
the popular vote this year will be a
reeord-breaking one and that the
regular Republicans will get the
greatest percentage of the new
vote
IL is conceded Dy Iatt men tnat
the Roosevelt vote will be large in
certain localities, but the only states
that they admit the Roosevelt ticket
has a chance to carry are Kansas
and California Despite the claims
of the Progressives regarding New
York, where the nominations of Oscar
! Straus as the Progressive candidate
I for Governor has strengthened the
Roosevelt movement and Pennsyl-
vania where Finn insists his ticket
will sweep the State, the confidential
/ reports received by the President are
that the regular Republicans will
win out in both instances.
When the President goes to New
York next week. he will carefully
analyze for himself the figures by
