THE BATTLE IN JERSEY, Both Taft and Roosevelt Partisans Satisfied With Outlook. May 26.—President it Roosevelt and Sen- rested today after three days of the hardest campaigning they have experlenced since they be- san the fight for the republican presi- dential nomination.

Senator La Follette has made fewer speeches, but he has addressed many thousand voters in nearly every guarter the state.

The governor asserted that the real instructions given the “unin- structed” delegates on the democratic ticket would be “anybody but Wilson.” The Taft manager expressed satis- faction today with the president's tour of the “commuting zone,” where more than half the population of the stats reside. This part of the state is also the factory district. The Roosevelt leaders say that their candidate will receive a vote from the factory work- ers which will more than offset any vantage Mr. Taft may get from the “business men's” vote. Both sides claim the four delegates at large, who will be eiected by the vote of the whole state, and at least 16 out of the 24 district delegates.
