Taft Viewed as Sufficiently
Strong to Roll Up Majority
for State Tickets.
HUGHES ALONE IN DOUBT
Q. O. P. Candidates In New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West
Virginia, Connecticut and
Minnesota Hope to Win.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Oct. 24. The Republican National
ticket will probably triumph In seven
Important states where Republican state
tickets will be badly cut and where Dem
ocratic Governors may be elected. The
states referred to are New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, Con
necticut and Minnesota.
The situation in these states may be
conversely stated as follows: Because of
disaffection in the Republican ranks,
seven .Republican candidates for Gov
ernor are looking to Mr. Taft to poll
sufficiently large pluralities to carry
the state tickets to victory. However
the proposition is stated, the fact re
mains that Mr. Taft will run way
ahead of the state tickets In the states
named, and in those states where Re
publican Governors may be elected,
f ieir election will be cue to the popu
larity of Mr. Taft and National Repub
lican issues.
Expect Hughes' Defeat.
With the election less than two
weeks away, it seems that Governor
Hughes of New York is very likely to
be defeated. That is the prevailing
opinion in New York City, and it Is the
almost uninimous opinion of politi
cal writers who have been studying
affairs in New York State. Outside of
New York City, Hughes is strong: the
srr.al?er cities and the rural districts
are supporting him in most loyal and
enthusiastic fashion, but it is question
able if the large majority he will re
ceive "up state" will be sufficiently
large to overcome the vote that will
be cast against him In Greater New
York.
In the metropolis are centered the
various interests that are opposed to
Hughes and Hughes policies; just as
they are opposed to Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt policies. It may turn out,
through the diversion of many Demo
cratic votes to the Socialist and Inde
pendence League tickets, that the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor will not
get enough Votes in New York City to
overcome Hughes' plurality "up state."
and to that cause, and the possible
overwhelming plurality of Taft must
Governor Hughes look for re-election.
There Is still a possibility that he will
win, but few bets are being made that
way; most bets are on Chanler for
Governor.
Strong Men Nominated.
In Illinois and Indiana the Demo
crats had the good sense to nominate
their strongest men for Governor; the
Republicans blundered in selecting men
who are vulnerable. In Illinois the
demonstrated corruption of the present
Republican administration is being used
with good effect by Democratic cam
paigners, and the state ticket is cor
respondingly weakened. If the Illinois
state election is carried by the
Democrats, it will be due to the
stupidity of the Republican man
agers, more than to the adroitness of
the Democrats in selecting their best
material. Indiana Is paying little at
tention to National issues; the state
campaign is the only one arousing en
thusiasm, and unfortunately the Re
publicans got hold of the unpopular
end of the leading state Issue the
liquor question. Yet. regardless of
what fate overtakes the state tickets
in these states, Taft will likely get
the electoral votes of both.
In Ohio the strongest Democrat avail
able. Judson Harmon, was nominated
to run against Governor Harris, who was
renominated. Harris is .a long ways
from being a strong candidate, and to
make matters worse, the Republican
party Is so badly cut up, while undergo
ing reform, as to make Harris' chances
of re-election comparatively slight.
Much of the knifing to be done In Ohio
will be on the state ticket, which, as
In Indiana, involves the liquor question,
an issue that has been used with good
effect against the old ring Republi
cans. May Pull Harris Through.
If Taft rolls up the kind of plurality
he ought to get In his own state, he
may pull Harris through, but Harris
will have a close call, if not defeated.
The Republicans of Ohio are at a dis
advantage, for they are, In this cam
paign, passing from the control of cor
rupt bosses to the leadership of clean
politicians of the Taft and Burton
type. Naturally, with such a transfor
mation in process, the vote, especially
on the state ticket, will be compara
tively light.
There has never been the slightest
doubt that Taft would carry Connecti
cut, and for some time It was thought
that Congressman Lllley, the Republi
can nominee for Governor, would pull
through, for in the eyes of his old con
stituents, he Is the "one honest man in
Congress." But the fight on Lllley has
been Intense, and the true calibre of
the man was shown when he recently
made public a garbled extract from a
letter written him by the President,
with reference to his attitude towards
the navy, but the garbled extract was
so worded as to convey the impression
that the President was upholding him
in his campaign for the Governorship,
and hoped for his election.
filler's Chances Slim.
The President does want to see Re
publican victory in Connecticut, but
what he thought of Lllley when the
Congressman deliberately misrepresent
ed him, and in a cowardly way used
the letter of the Executive as a cam
paign document, is hardly fit for pub
lication. Lilley's perfidy has been laid
bare, and the exposure has hurt him.
rT.t. nl.r tVifnir Hnilhtflll about ftlln-
nesota is the Governorship, and that is
doubtful only because Governor John
son is running. Johnson was elected
four years ago, when Roosevelt car
ried the state, and it is more than
likely that he will be elected this year,
though Minnesota supports Taft. But
that will occasion no surprise; it has
been expected all along. ,
