TAFT,S CANDIDACY ELAT7ENED OUT.

n one of his speeches in Ohio Mr.. Taft was candid enough to
Il say that his chances for denomination depended on the vote
of his party in Ohio. Mr.. Taft has disastrously lost his
native State, and by his own statement his chances, however
they may have appeared to him, have vanished utterly. II there
Is one State to which the presidential candidate may reason
ably look for party support it is his own. Mr.. Taft personally
never had a doubt of Ohio until after sweeping reverses in other
Republican preferential primary States opened the eyes of his
eocksure managers to the peril there. Then, abandoning his
post at Washington, he threw himself into a campaign of nearly
two weeks that was almost frenzied in it's character, but only to
give more. emphasis to the verdict of the Republican party in
Ohio in yesterdays primaries. In nine Republican States that
previously held preferential primaries the total Republican vote
was: Roosevelt, ~1JO52,00O; Taft, 495, 700, or not far from three
to one against Taft. Ohio swens the antiTaft majority in Re-
publican States. Directly and personally and by every appeal
he could make Mr.. Taft asked for the vote Of his State. His
appeals were respectfully listened to and then he was incon-
tjnently turned down. He told the Ohio Republican voter that
his candidacy depended on Ohio, and the voter took him at his
word and went to the polls and cast a Roosevelt ballot. After
90? How square themselves with the situation? New Jersey
is to vote next Tuesday. 1t matters little now-as far as the
Taft candidacy is concerned how New Jersey will vote, but it is
as plain as daylight that New Jersey will not give it's delegate
delegates for Roosevelt. The logical and necessary thing for the
President to do now is to withdraw his candidacy in favor of
come other candidate. 1t is clearly demonstrated that the rank
and file of the Republican party don't want him and won't have
