I'JOODROi'MlSOn WILL SWEEP GQUflTRY New York Herald's Canvass of Situa tion in Eleven 8tatea Indication. New York, Oct. 7. The announce ment of the New York Herald's can vass of voters in eleven states has caused widespread comment in polit ical circles. It shows conclusively that Governor Wilson will sweep the coun try. The Herald baa been carrying on straw votes for more than a score of years, and its canvasses In past years have always been verified In Novem ber. The fact that, the Herald is sup porting Taft and that the Herald's ex pert canvassers placed him third Is evidence enough of . the impartiality of its efforts. In discussing, the Herald's efforts, Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the finance committee of the democratic national committee, said: ' "While we can not help being elated over the forecast of the Herald, which has a reputation for accuracy along these lines, I fear that It may have a bad effect In some quarters. The dem crats are all so confident of winning that tbey do not seem to realize the importance of contributing to the na tional campaign fund. I would like to aerve warning on all good democrats that while victory Is in the air and we are sure of success, we must have more funds to carry on the campaign." The New York Sun, which is also supporting Taft, prints the following review of the Herald's efforts: The Herald publishes its first in stallment of Its country-wide review of the presidential situation, and its In dications are that Wilson is easily leading both Taft and Roosevelt, with Taft running third, according to the straw ballots. More than 24,000 test ballots were taken In various parte of the country. The results in the various states follow: Results by States. - New York, Taft B8S, Roosevelt 1011, Wllosn 1147. Connecticut, Taft 85, Roosevelt 127, Wilson 96. Delaware, Taft 226, Roosevelt 381, Wilson 927. New Jersey, Taft 245, Roosevelt 300, Wilson 477, Pennsylvania, Taft 843, Roosevelt 573, Wilson 567. Maryland, Taft 48, Roosevelt 126. Wilson 193. Oblo, Taft 943, Roosevelt 818, Wilson 1914. Indiana, Taft 891, Roosevelt 1711; Wilson 2100. Kentucky, Taft 773, Roosevelt 1452, Wilson 2764. West Virginia, Tart 232, Roosevelt 530, Wil son 775. Wyoming, Taft 176, Roose velt 118, Wilson 204. Of the total straw ballots taken in all regions the result was as follows: Wilson 11.164, Roosevelt 7147, Taft 4784, Debs 1800. The figures show Roosevelt has drawn 4150 votes from the republican party, 678 from demo crats, 20 from Debs. ' The republican loss from 1908, ac cording to the figures, Is 5997. The democratic gain over 1908 is 2254. The Herald makes no predictions of its own, but merely presents the figure's, which speak for themselves. It also prints the reports from -correspond ents In every state In the Union, which bear out largely the Indicated results of the straw votes. Roosevelt Tide Reached Height. The Herald finds that the Roosevelt tide has reached its height and that the Taft movement Is gaining In some parts of the country. Wilson remains stationary in some sections, gains In others, and, so far as reports show, loses nowhere. The Herald says that Its reports indicate very clearly that Wilson Is leading both the other can didates. Polls taken by the Cincinnati En quirer and the Buffalo Times, along with reports from canvass taken by train pasesngers, give Wilson a sur prisingly large lead. The total votes so far recorded at democratic bead quarters give Wilson 29,754, Roose velt 15,700 and Taft 12,643. The democrats have lost 98 votes to Taft and Roosevelt, while tbey have gained 4208 from Taft. Pivotal State of Illinois. Illinois, for instance, which is con sidered a pivotal state, is the scene of a battle between Roosevelt and Wilson, In which the bull moose has the better of It in all the polls made to date In the Record-Herald's can vass, but where, on the other hand, the defection of republicans to Wil son appears by the straw ballots to be somewhat larger than the move ment of democrats to Roosevelt. Michigan is now a Roosevelt state. Wisconsin is the scene of a neck-and- neck race between Wilson and Taft, with Wilson apparently losing ground and Taft gaining it Minnesota, on the other hand, Is regarded as Roosevelt's by 60,000 were the election held next week, but a strong sentiment has manifested It self within the last tew weeks, and from now on it will be a hard fought contest between the democrats and progressives. The Dakotas are the seat of ram pant Rooseveltlsm, but even there conditions are so mixed that it is no one's victory at present Iowa, like Illinois, contains a great deal of Roosevelt sentiment, but third party complications are favoring Wil son. Indiana le Democratic. Indiana, the home state of Thomas Marshall, democratic candidate for vice president, is regarded as demo cratic this year. t ; On the coast, California U doubtful, but Inclined toward Wilson now; Ore gon is for Taft, while Idaho and Washington are for Roosevelt To the southwest, New Mexico is doubtful, while Arizona looks like a Wilson state. Oklahoma, .where the democrats have a normal majority of 25,000, is Wilson's. In Colorado the canvasses and all other surface' Indications show that Wilson Is holding the democratic vote. Wyoming, normally republican, is tblB -year debatable, and so Is Mon tana. Utah is Taft's Just now. Missouri shows indications of giv ing Wilson a plurality of 20,000 this year. i Kansas Is claimed by all three par ties, while in Nebraska It appears that Wilson will be stronger In Bryan's home state than Bryan himself. Pennsylvania with its thirty-eight electoral votes Is shown by the can vass to favor Taft at the present time. . The "Solid South" gives no indica tion of departing from its ancient democratic solidarity. In Kentucky Wilson will get at least 50 pel' cent of the vote, according to every Indi cation. On the face of the returnsv If the election were held this week Wilson would have a big majority of the elec toral votes. ' HOTEL ARRIVALS Hotel Bryan -W. C. Esters, St. Louis. M. A. Munn, Palestine.
