Revision of the forecast of the Re
publican national, convention published
In The Journal March 20. bringing It to
date, make no great change in the fig
ures then given. The net result of
various revisions la a net gain of 24
for Tsft over Roosevelt as compared
with the tabulation then given.
Taft on the first ballot," therefore,
seems a better guess than ever. The
totals. Including- results in states where
delegates have already been chosen and
estimating other states on an impartial
basis, give Taft (07, Roosevelt S27, La
Kollette 84, Cummins 10, doubtful 100.
levcn days ago the totals awarded
aft 698, Roosevelt 342. La Follette 34,
Cummins 16 and doubtful 88. The to
tal number of delegates is 1078 and the
number needed to nominate is fi40.
But Psw Changes.
: Conventions and primaries held since
the last forecast was published show
that it was remarkably near the truth
as forecasts go. Taft lost a few here
and gained a few there, but the final
balancing gave only a small gain. . Sev
eral transfers have been made from the
Roosevelt to the doubtful column. It
being now apparent tbt his' strength
was In some states overestimated.
: New York. Indiana, Colorado and
Mississippi have held conventions or
primaries since the last forecast In
New York Taft gained five more dele
gates than The Journal forecast had
allowed him, .and Roosevelt suffered a
corresponding- loss. In Indiana Roose
velt fared better than the' forecast, and
took eight of the' delegates that had
been listed for Taft. In Colorado Taft
has- secured eight delegates, where only
six were allowed him, and the other
six are now taken out of the Roosevelt
column and put in the doubtful list
There is no change in Mississippi, where
all the delegates were credited to Taft
Fraud Is Alleffed.
Many of these delegates are contested,
the Roosevelt men alleging fraud in
New York, Indiana andMlsslsslppL The
delegates . listed in the accompanying
table are the "regulars," who are en
titled to . their seats unless unseated
by the national committee which is now
generally conceded to be controlled by
the Taft forces.
1 The chief changes from the forme
forecast, other than in the states above
noted,' are in Connecticut, where four
are credited to Taft' that formerly were
listed as doubtful, four subtracted from
Roosevelt in Kentucky and awarded to
Taft, six taken from Taft In Minnesota
and placed among the doubtful, four
juken from Roosevelt in New Hampshire
snd made doubtful,. four added to Taft
In Ohio from Roosevolt, four taken from
Taft in West Virginia and awarded to
Roosevelt, end six taken from Cum
tijjns and added to Taft in Iowa, o
This is the estimate as revised in
the light of the latest Information and
delegate! already chosen:
, estimate of Strength.
Taft. Roosevelt Doubtful.
