Special 10 tnc BONANZA
CHICAGO, oct. Director Mul-
yane, in charge Of the western bu-
reau of the republican national ccm-
mittee, in reviewing the progress of
the campaign during the week. said
today:
illinois is the pivotal state.
"With Illinois in the republican
column. President Taft viii be elect
ed by safe majority in the elector-
al college. He can be elected with
out Illinois because New York is no
longer doubtful. but with this state
giving him it's electoral vote. the
result is assured.
And President Taft will carry
Illinois The only uncertainty al
any time was the extent OF the re-
publican vote which would go to Col.
Roosevelt. We now know that this
viii be minimum The normal re
publican majority in Illinois is $780,
600. Even ii Col Roosevelt polled
on November all the votes he re-
ceiyed in the primary last spring
there would still remain practically
100000 republican votes against him.
AS matter of fact. Roosevelt will
not get 10 per cent of his primary
vote. Our polls in many counties
show that he win not get over / per
cent The danger that Roosevelt
can. by his bolting. attempt 10 organ
ize third party, defeat the republi-
can ticket in this state no longer
exists.
"The republicans OF Illinois are
appreciating the great opportunity
which is afforded them TO continue
the policies and laws which, under
republican administration, have Civ
en- this country unexampled growth
and prosperity and which insure a
continuance of the safe and steady
progress of the past l6 years.
"Our democratic opponents now
realize that Mr. Taft is the one can
didate the must defeat They
know. TOO. that he is gaining
strength every day. Instead Of now
predicting that Woodrow Wilson VIII
be elected without a struggle. they
are fighting desperately TO win.
They have changed their plan Of
campaign Instead Of keeping Gov
ernor Wilson al home to deliver aca.
demic speeches to delegations
which did not appear-they have him
travelling night and day to secure
publicity and arouse enthusiasm.
They confess that the have been
oyeroonfident.
But there is one part of their
campaign which cannot be and will
not be changed The chief demo.
cratic issue is free trade. This is
sue win not win In a country made
great and prosperous by the pro
