WILSON IN LEAD; TAFT GAINS FAST * Newspaper Forecast Shows Hot Contest of Ballots for Pres= idential Candidates Bull Moose Losing Followers; Thousands Flock to Sup= port of President [Special Dispatch to The Call] NEW YORK. Oct. 12.—The Herald's forecast of the election, which will be printed tomorrow, still shows Wilson far in the lead, with President Taft steadily drawing up on Roosevelt for second place. Of the 154,771 test ballots taken. Gov ernor Wilson has received 65.168, the bull moose nominee 46,316, President Taft 33,759 and Debs 9,508. In commenting on the ballots, the Herald says: "Friends of the president and some of his campaign managers declare that the tide toward the president has set in. They point to a drift to him in Pennsylvania. They say that in nearly every part of the country republicans who 10 days ago were threatening to vote for Governor Wilson to 'save the country from the bull moose* are now streaming back into the Taft camp, fully believing that the-president has a good chance of being elected. "Evidences of this were found.in some sections of the country, notably New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Ore gon. In other sections the Herald's reporters found evidences of a growth in the drift from Taft to Wilson to de feat the bull moose candidates. 'Democrats are satisfied that nothing can prevent the election of Governor Wilson. The campaign managers de clare that they will carry nearly every state in the country. TOO EARLY TOO PREDICT "It is, however, too early to predict what story the millions of ballots will toll on November 5. Cross currents are at work all over the country, and there seems to be a feeling of unrest among voters in many communities, which may bring about a marked change in conditions between now and election day. "Of a total of 39,861 votes taken in the great battleground of the middle west the president received Governor Wilson 15,683 and the bull moose can didates 12 t **3*>. These votes were cast in the states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota and lowa. In Ohio the president has gained. but Governor Wilson appears to be easily in the lead. In Illinois the bull moose continues to be in the lead, but Governor Wilson is pressing him hard. The president is making gains in Chi cago, but apparently is far behind the other two nominees.'* In Indiana, according to the Herald's reporters, Governor Wilson appears ■ ertain to carry the state, barring un- Been developments in Michigan. Gov ernor Wilson is gaining on the bull •ioo.se candidate, with the president running third. Wisconsin is leaning strongly toward New Jersey's governor and Minnesota seems certain for him, with the president and the bull mooser running neck and neck ter second place. lows promises to go for Wilson. Re publicans there are afraid that the president can not be elected and rather than risk the possibility of having the bull mooser in the White House they are threatening to swing in great num bers to Governor Wilson. PROGRESS IN NEW YORK There seems little doubt that the president has made progress in various sections of New York state and in parts of New England. In Rhode Island, Con necticut and sections of Massachusetts. where the bull moose sentiment has been very strong, many manufacturers and business men are declaring openly for the president on the theory that they don't want the tariff interfered with. This is apparently having effect on employes of some institutions which would be injuriously affected by any disturbance of the tariff system. Pennsylvania republicans feel .-onfi dent of victory. Personal inquiries in the keystone state indicate a close contest there. Governor Wilson leads at the present time with the president running second. The straightening out of the tangle over the electors in Pennsylvania has given new hope to the Taft men and they are working desperately for victory. Of the 30 states in which test ballots have been taken Governor Wilson has 23 states to his credit. The bull mooser stood first in rive, Illinois, Connecticut, Idaho. Washington and Michigan. The president led in two, Utah and Wyom ing.
