No opportunity was given to Thaw

feeling against Thaw on the eve of his
trial the influences that have been
working SO bitterly against him have
not hesitated to resort to crime.

total amount thus distributed up to

obtained by the deposit of ten francs,

one OF the most comprehensive tests
made to ascertain public sentiment
on the presidential
IesI votes fight has been that
bE lhe Of the Chicago Rec
Record-Herald. Herald. the re-
suits of which are
published in this paper today. The
Recori-Herald is a pro-Taft newspa-
ped but it manifests independent
tendencies and has been very fair m
al three candidates. Apparently it
has sought to ascertain the true situ-
alton rather than to aid any particu-
lar candidate with its straw vote That
the Chicago paper is very generous to
Taft is indicated by the fact it places
Oregon in the Taft column when the
presidents chances for carrying this
state are exceedingly poor.
The nationwide canvass by the Rec
"rd-Herald shows Wilson to be in the
lead with Roosevelt second and Taft
poor third. Wilson mas a good lead
in every important eastern state save
Pennsylvania where the three candi-
dates are shown to be almost evenly
matched. From the tests made Taft
has no possible chance to carry
single large state in the union. If his
chances in the smaller states are no
better than they are in Oregon he will
nave difficulty winning them In the
primary campaign Taft polleJ but
1900 votes out of $1,000 republican
votes cast in Oregon. He was badly
distanced by both Roosevelt and Ia
toilette. To claim that Taft can now
carry the state sounds like a Joke.
The result of the test made by the
Record-Herald and by numerous in
dividuals that have taken straw votes
show the contest to be plainly be-
tween Wilson and Roosevelt. The
people were disappointed in President
Taft and consider him as a man who
has been shelved. No amount of ar
gument at this late day can change
this view.
Those who want to make their votes |
count must choose betNee Governor
Wilson and four years more of the
big stick. They must choose be-
tween the surgeon from New Jersey |
who talks softly but cuts deeply and
with skill and the surgeon from Oy-
ster Bay with his loud voice and his
Ratchet. &
