In Maryland the majority against

states majorites against him range
from to 1 to 20 to 1. In all the states
together about three out of every four
of the Republicans who voted at the

primaries could be held in ali the states.
there would undoubtedly be no sub
stantial variation from those figures,
and Mr. Taft could by no possibility
have 400 votes in the Chicago conven-
ton. Mr. Taft's chance of renomina-
ton lies solely in securing at Chicago
delegates who will misrepresent the will
