ROOsEVELTS BIG ::
LEAD OVER TAFT
Actual Figures Where Electoral
Votes Are Necessary.
IN SURE REPUBLICAN STATES
A Carefully Prepared Analysis Of Vote
for All EMBELLISHMENTS Made
So Clear That There Can Be No
MISLEADING the Choice Of the Repub-
lican Voters Thus Far Expressed.

There are 80 states, having 371 cleo
toral votes, out of which to gain the
266 electoral votes necessary to elect
Republican president. The remain
ing Is states. with 100 electoral votes,
are surely Democratic. says the New
York Evening Mail.
OF course 1t is not expected that the
Republicans will carry all OF the 81
states not conceded to the Democrats,
but they are all known politically as
"debatable" territory and most OF
them will be claimed" by partisans
until the vote in each is counted next
November
The task Of the Republican national
convention at Chicago on June IL will
be to determine the presidential candi-
date whose popularity will insure the
greatest number OF electoral votes
from these 80 possibly Republican
states. OF the 80 states, % have
chosen their delegates, three have
held caucuses or county conventions
that definitely foreshadow their atti-
tude, and eight have yet to elect dele
gates or clearly indicate their choice.
An accurate line on the sentiment
of the states whose electoral votes are
necessary to elect Republican presi-
dent can be had, therefore, by study
OF the table of delegates printed here
with.
The figures show that Colonel Roose-
welt has long lead over President
Taft among the Republicans in Re-
publican states. The tabulation can
not be truthfully challenged. for 1t
gives Mr.. Taft every vote to which he
is entitled.
The one statement that may be dis
puted is the vote OF New YOrk-7V
Taft, 20 Roosevelt. There will be at
least 20 New York delegates for
Roosevelt, however, at Chicago, and
any canvass of the 80 men will justify
this estimate The figures are not set
down here without sound basis for do
ing so.
The results to date in the ~ Repub-
lican states (having 538 delegates)
are as follows:

What Nine States Say.

Nine states have now held preside J.
tial primaries-or what have amoust-
ed to presidential primaries-North Da-
kota, Wisconsin, Illinois. Pennsylvania.
Nebraska, Oregon, New Hampshire.
Massachusetts and Maryland
These states-the only ones In
which there has been free chance
for the expression of the popular will
are to be represented by 256 dele
gates in the Chicago convention. OF
these delegates 40 are instructed for
President Taft and ZIG against him.
The president has carried but two Of
the nine states, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts. and these two by slen-
der pluralities. On the other hand. in
the other states, except Maryland,
where the result is close, the major
ties against the presidents renomina-
ton have been overwhelming. North
Dakota voted against him 20 to l, Wis
consin 3 to /, Illinois nearly 8 to l,
Pennsylvania, 2 to l. Nebraska to
/, and Oregon, 6 to 1. Combining the
votes in the nine preference states 1t
dUg6dIS tudt VI CAC &SSRoOAASsAAS WAAV
have had a chance to express them
selves directly approximately 8 out of
4 are opposed to President Taftss re-
nomination. The record is such as
to give plausihility to the claim that
il in all the states there was way
of ascertaining the party's will the
number of Taft delegates at Chicago
would be pitifully few.
1t is fairly demonstrated in these
nine states-all Republican states ex-
cept Maryland, which is doubtful
that the rank and file Of the Republic
an party does not desire the renomina-
ton of President Taft. The evidence
is so overwhelming that the president,
as self-respecting man, has but one
course open to him, and that is to
yield to the party's WILL 1t Is incred-
ible that he will lend himself to any
besotted attempt on the part of his
foolish managers to force his renom-
ination by the use of delegates from
states where his party has no genu-
inc existence.-New York Globe.

Three Republican states. Idaho Il
delegates), Washington (14), West
Virginia (16) and four congress dis
tricts in Kansas have held local con-
ventions or caucuses and indisputably
chosen delegates who will elect Roose-
welt men. There are no contests in
any case. These aggregate 46 Roose-
welt national delegates made up OF
three full state delegations. still to
be elected in Kansas.
1t is entirely fair, therefore, to add
these 46 to the 538 delegates formally
elected. The result would then be as

MISS JARVIS Of PHILADELPHIA WAS
THE FOUNDER Of MOTHERS DAY

The custom of observing Mother
day, which has been observed in Dew
lis Lake for the past two years, is now
nation wide movement. Inquiries
have been many regarding the origi-
nator of the day. The following TAX
en- from the Weekly Florists Review,
will be of interest:
Mothers; day broke out sporadically
all over the United States in 1908.
That first year, when it was undertake
en- to trace the origin of Mothers day
and find what it was all about, it prov
ed no easy task. The Federation Of
Women's clubs, when appealed to at
but said "it's a good idea." Officials
of the Congress of Mothers replied,
eve have no record Of Mothers day,
but the idea is good; we shall call at
tention to it at our next annual meet
ing" Finally the search for the found
er of the day led, through the city edit
or of Chicago daily, to Miss Anna
Jarvis, 2031 North Twelfth street, Phil
adelphia, who confessed to having con-
ceived the idea in the desire to COM
memorate the anniversary of her moth,
er's death. It was not only the thought
Of laying some flowers on mother IS
grave, but it occurred to her that it
would be a beautiful tribute to all
mothers, the living as well as the dead
if their children, on given day, would
unite in the simple wearing of white
flowers. She wrote letter about il
to a Philadelphia newspaper early in
1908, and it was this that caused
Mothers day to break out in spots al
over the country.
