TAFT CLAIMS MD ROOSEVELT
STRENGTH.

Yesterday the campaign managers
for President Taft gave ont III" stale
ment that the president had the nom
ination cinchcd. That out Of Il total
of 1.01G votes in the convention ne
WAS sur, OF $50 or oil more than q
m~aturity-thc proportion required L"
nominnte. AS we have frequently
nointcd out. III" president began M"
active work for the domination uh'li
tho Roosevelt movement scared MN.
He knew mo until a few weeks ago
that he had the nomination, and even
those who were most hostile TO ms
rcciDroritX program We're forced 10
admit his strength. Those VIII" pc
lieved the president was without po-
litical advis, rs rcClSoned without their
host. for i: has developed that h"
was in The hands of the veterans Of
many battles. They lave sensed he
danger and are making ready for III"
biggest pre-convention battle N" ma
ton has ever witnessed.
The managers are following the
old policy of the administration and
are using the band wagon talk in
claiming that everything is for Taft,
so as tn hold the solid south. the
old Roosevelt machine Of which is
coming To life and threatening :" up
set the presidents solid delegation.
The statement given out Yesterday
was not for the country abov" Mason
and DiNon's line. for the public
knows it is prcpostcrous. 1t Was in
tended for the south where the poll
ticians are little and know less about
conditions in the states which elect
Republican presidents.
During the last month n careful
table has heon kept by the Times and
revised and changed as the condi-
tions changed on developed in the
various states showing II strength
of Theodore Roosevelt. Assuming
that the adherents OF Senator LaFol-
letto since his retirement from the
contest. will support Colonel Roosc-
Welt as against President Taft. tho
table stands MS given below. In n
number of states the vote is divided
ovcn-half being given to Roosevelt.
This division is not. arbitrary. hut in
those states tho indications are that
Roosevelt will have tho majority, hut
to lac conservative in our estimate n
to avoid making amy unreasonable or
unfoundcd claims, TIL" benefit of the
doubt is given to the opposition and
the sfates counted half and half. The
table shows the number of probable
votes for Roosevelt and the total of
the state.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1912-02-10

These figures give Roosevelt Il total
Of 557 votes or more than n majority.
We believe it would be we'll within
hounds. based on conditions nj this
time. to add a hundred TO that total.
But as we are not discussing tho
strength of Roosevelt. except to show
the fallacy of the Taft claims. this
addition is not necessary. The figures
quoted prove that Taft has less than
n majority rather than 241 more than
a majority. 1t will he noticed that
neither Wisconsin nor Iowa is in
cludcd in the list above. Both Of
these have favorite sons-LaF Toilette
in Wisconsin and Cunmins in Iowa.
But certainly Wisconsin with its
iwenty-stx votes will not support Taft.
Nor will more than six of the twenty
six of Iowa support him. If these
f~orty-six votes We're added to the $50
given above it would give 6o3 to the
Taft opposition. leaving him 473 in
stead of $50 which his managers
claim-a difference of 307.
We stated that the Taft managers
were good politicians and this is or
rect. They know how to manage a
campaign. But Representative Nc
1Iinley who is the directing genius of
the campaign, is a decidedly poor
political prophet. 1t will he remem-
bered that he was chairman of the
national congressional committee
which conducted the last congression-
al campaign, and that he claimed a
Republican majority in the house be-
fore the election of 40. instead of
which there was a Democratic ma
jority of siXty-nine. and this in view
of the fact that every careful student
of the campaign realized That the
house would be Democratic. AS a po-.
litical measure these overdrawn pre-
dictions NAV be all right but they
shake the public faith in the ability
of the prophet.
