Taft men had the votes TO sweep the con-
vention entirely.
The outcome in New Mexico is regarded
here as demonstrating that when the roll
is called at Chicago to nominate the Re-
publican candidate for President only a
scattering vote will be cast in opposition TO
Mr. Taft. There is every prospect at this
time that the President will break his rec
