Adolph Wolfe, head of the firm of Llpman, Wolfe A Co., assigned two reasons in chief for the nation's great vots for Wilson. "First," said he, "it resulted from Roosevelt's entry Into the field. Second," from the misrepresenta tions of Taft and the influence of a mysterious source that continuously told not what Teft had done, but what he had not done.
