BEVERLY, Sept 1S.--It developed
today that, in addition to the written
and personal reports of political con-
d'tions throughout the country, Pres
fdent Taft is also receiving telephone
accounts from Chairman Hilles in
New York and is at every moment in
complete touch with the general polit-
ical situation. 1t is because of this
fact that the president has assumed
during the last few days much more
confident attitude. He is convinced,
1t was learned today, that he will have
at least 90 more than the 266 votes
necessary to insure his election in the
electoral college and these figures
are, both the president and his closest
advisors claim, very conservative.
The president feels certain that the
popular vote this year will be a rec
ord-breaking one and that the regular
republicans will get the greatest per
centage of the new vote.
1t is conceded by Taft men that the
bull moose vote will be large In Ger
tain localities but the only states that
they admit the Roosevelt ticket has
a chance to carry are Kansas and
Cal al'fornia. Despite the claims of the
progressives regarding New York
where the nomination of Oscar Straus
as the progressive candidate for gov
ernor has strengthened the Roosevelt
movement and Pennsylvania where
Finn insists his ticket will sweep the
state, the confidential reports receiv.
ed by the president are that the reg
ular republicans will win out In both
instances.
When the president goes to New
York next week he will carefully ana
lyze for himself the figures amassed
by Chairman Hilles.
President Taft was greatly pleased
! today by telegram from Arthur
Clark of Manchester, N. H.. stating
that New Hampshire will re-affirm
4 in November the loyalty to you which
1 it displayed last SPRING
/ The telegram added that Taft sen
timent in the granite state was ever

course-where he played until lunch

The taking of testimony was con-
stinued today and Edwin P. Grosvenor,

Attorney Grosvenor today introduc-
ed as evidence in the hearing of the
ternational Harvester Company, a
copy Of the contract which governed
the purchase of the Osborne company,
of Auburn, N. Y, at that time, 1908,
the largest independent manufacturer
OF harvesting machinery in the United
States.
The purchase according to the con-
: tract was made by George w. Per
kins, as chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the international Harvester
! Company. The purchase price was
s4,50o,0oo. The charge was made to-
day by Grosvenor that after the pur-
chase was made, the Osborne COM
pany was masqueraded as an indepen-
dent company
Grosvenor today entered as exhibits
copies of the contracts for the pur-
chase of the keystone company, at
Sterling, H., and the Altman and
Miller company, at Akron, Ohio
After these plants were bought the
government charged, they stopped
manufacturing harvesting machinery
and began making machines and i'm
plements which would not put them
in competition with the international
company.
In Minnesota, Grosvenor said dur
: ing the hearing today, the OUTFIT OF
j binder twine and machines at the
' state prison keeps the international
: from having complete monopoly and
keeps the price down.

NEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 1S.-In the
language of the street, Governor Will
son has made good as rear-plat-
form campaign speaker. When he
started on his first long trip, which
took him across Ohio and Indiana,
through Illinois and Iowa and on up
through South Dakota to the Twin
Cities some of the members of his
campaign committee were a little
dubious over whether he was the
kind OF rapid-fre campaigner who
could please the crowds in brief "rear-
end" speeches.
They are worrying no longer. Roose-
velt or Bryan in his palmiest days
never "got away with it" in more ef-
fective fashion. Wilson hasn't the
magnetism of Bryan nor the dramatic
touch of Roosevelt, but he has a
friendly heart-to-heart, good natured
manner, and dry humor that delight
his curious auditors. for they are cur
ious. They show plainly by their
faces that they want to see what this
fellow Wilson looks like.

now by reason of circumstances which

AT a South Dakota town the gov
ernor made a hit by saying:
Il am not So much interested in

am interested in my friend, Mr. E. S
Johnson, who is on board with me
and who am deeply anxious you
should make governor. My very
/ strong advice is to vote for him, and
then, if you want to throw in vote

Governor Wilson was at dinner al
one point, when big crowd called fol
him. He left his meal half finished

"I was eating my dinner when We

lonstrated when he said:

In outlining his party's trust pro
