Chicago, Oct 24. A summary of the
result of straw ballots taken by Chi
cago, Cincinnati, New York and St.
Louis newspapers, compiled here to
day, Indicates that Taft will carry
Ohio by 80,000, Kansas by' 40,000 and
Maryland by a close margin, besides all
the New England states.
The vote shows that Bryan will carry
Oklahoma by S5.000.
The poll in the southern states in
dicates that the Democrats have slight
ly reduced pluralities In many com
munities in the solid south.
The biggest returns from the straw
vote came from Ohio, but represent only
the cities, with Cleveland and Toledo
not inoludod.
The vote Indicates that the claim of
some Democrats that Kansas is a doubt
ful ' state Is without foundation.
The vote in Maryland was taken In
all seotlons of the state and represents
all Interests. It Indicates that the vot
ing will be so close that the result will
grobably not ba known until the official
allot Is counted, as was the casa four
years ago.
The vote In New England failed to
ahow that Connecticut and Rhode Island
can be called doubtful.
The poll In Oklahoma Indicates that
districts formerly alrtngly Republican
are turning toward the Democratic
candidate.

An admitted defect of these straw
ballots, which are being taken by news
papers for the most part Republican, is
the fact that they do not reach the
farming and laboring classes, which will
decide the coming- election.
Even at that, they show an enormous
falling off in the Republican vote as
Indicated by tha Roosevelt pluralities
in 1904.
Kansas gave Roosevelt a plurality of
126,098; the estimate of these Repub
lican newspapers that Taft will carry
tne state oy tv.uuu snows an aammea
falling off -of over two-thirds. Walter
Wellman, one of the best posted news
paper political writers in tne country,
says Viat If Taft carries Kansas his plu
rality will not be more than 10,000.
Ohio gave Roosevelt a plurality of
256,421; these Republican newspapers
claim that the state will go for Taft by
80,000. Again this is less than one
third of the- Roosevelt plurality, and it
is noticeable that the poll did not in
clude either Cleveland or Toledo, two
cities in which there is a large labor
vote. In Cleveland the opposition to
Roosevelt and to his candidate Is es
pecially strong because of the presi
dent's unwarranted Interference In the
recent municipal election, when he
sought to defeat Mayor Johnson and to
elect Burton.
It Is also worthy of note that the
straw vote in Ohio was confined to the
cities and did not Include the farmer.
Walter Wellman elves Ohio to Bryan.
and It In classed as a doubtful state by
the leading Jew x ora papers.
Maryland Is confidently claimed by
the Democratic managers as safely for
Bryan.

leges tnat wnen ne aeaicaiea tne
streets of Nashville to public Use In
Ms v.- 1908. ha reserved the exoluslve
right to lay and use water mains. As
Nashville, is . part Of the territory in
eluded in Kelsay's application, for a
XT . K , . m. that hfa av.
elusive rights would be infringed upon
snd that Irreparable damage would ba
done him. .
Thla stop puts Keisay "up in tne
air." He nss charged that the op-
tosltlon to tha rrancmse arose irom
hose who own private water plants in
tha Mount Scott seotlon. but this is
denied by those who are opposing his
petition. Stout and Johnson and George
F. Martin -represent Nash, No time
for a hearing on the Injunction haa been
set and the next move would seem to
bs dus from Kelsay in the form of a
motion to aet the Injunction aside. As
the matter now stands he cannot go
ahead with any part Of his project
or his Diana for laying water pips.
The Kelsay franchise Question comes
as another complication in tha annexa
tion question. If annexation goes on
the November ballot the argument of
the campaign to roiwm centers arouna
the water Question. If any consider
able number of the voters were to rely
on Kelsay being able to furntah fire
protection ana water lor general use
next year, as he has promised, this
might have the effect of bringing about
tne aereat OI annexation once more.
