Theodore Roosevelt when ge Nea the Roonevelt delegates in Obio hhd been elected but force, made Roosevelt's nomination certain. It takes 540 dele- gates to nominate. Discarding the claims of both managers and throwing out all delegates about whom there is any possibility of doubt, there remain to the credit of Roosevelt, with the Ohio returns, 510 delegates. NEW JERSEY FOR T. R. New Jersey, South Dakota and some scattering districts are still to be heard from. South Dakota is certain to go to Roosevelt, and since Ohio voted, New Jersey is not seriously, claimed by the Taft managers These two states alone will give Roosevelt 38 more. Thus his total will be 548, more than enough to nominate. If one were to take Roosevelt's own claims as the basis for figuring, the claims contained in the carefully prepared table published a week ago, the Rodsevelt total would be much larger than this. But just to be within the line of. conservation, I have thrown out over 40 votes about which there is really little question and have failed to credit the Roosevelt account with a number of other votes which I have-every reason to believe | will be his CAN’T STEAL IT NOW. , It does not appear now that even a prejudiced national committee, a committee controlled entirely by Taft forces and willing to go to any lengths to defeat Roosevelt, would be able to accomplish that result. The Roosevelt victories in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Iinoi¢, California, and other primary | States, have given him such a strong following in the conven- ition that his friends will be able successfully to resist any at- jtempt to steal the nomination F is a mortal one and completes the tragedy of a judicial 9 mind in demagogic politics. The sooner the president is retired from the dog fight the better.” ANOTHER MARGIN. In making this forecast, no account has been taken of an- other margin of safety, which is the fact that in the ing fight to organize the convention and have a fair determination jof contests, the Roosevelt forces may safely depend on the del- egations from Wisconsin, North Dakota and Iowa. While jthese are not pledged to his candidacy, they are against Taft jand committed to the people's side in the struggle to overthrow boss rule. There are 42 of these delegates who would join in resisting an effort by the old machine leaders to override the will of the people. In this forecast the results are based on un- | questioned primary instructions for Roosevelt, plus delegates conceded by the Taft forces to Roosevelt, plus only a very, “Naturally, | am pleased with Ohio's ‘impulsive judgment,’ but I be (we could have won without Ohio, My opponents needed substan- fa solid vote there to give them a chance to make a contest at the convention. vietory in Ohio shows that it will be hopeless to try to beat Chicago by unseating our delegates, who represent the popular of the people of Washington, Indiana, Kentucky and elsewhere, HM it be possible for them to win seats by seating delegates elect- frand in Southern states. appreciate what the people of Ohio did.
