The sudden increase in activity, the rush ■and the spontaneity' are everywhere ; evident, ft i$ the real thing, and can not b$ mistaken, If mathematics are npedod to establish 1Sts identity, that la an easy matter, _ Boom Ja the word which applies to the Taft movement only. Several weeks ago there was a Roosevelt boom, hut the president put an end to it When he reaffirmed the declaration he made three' years ago, that under no circumstances would he be a pan- didate again or accept -another nom­ ination, There are other candidates for the Republican presidential nom­ ination, notably the vice president.

Although these con*- putations are' supposed to he impai*. tial, they do not give the other candi­ dates anything more than their, own state delegations. Favorite Sons’ Strength, The Republican national conven­ tion will comprise 080 delegates, Of Whom 9uGWill represent the 46 states and 14 the territories and colonial possessions. A inajprity, or the num­ ber necessary to nominate, is 491.

Placing Hughes* in the foregoing table is not because it is anticipated he will get the entire New York dele- gallon, for at this writing that is very much In doubt. But the 73 votes of the Empire state are placed in this list in order to show just how much the combined strength of the favorite sons, anido from Secretary Taft would bo able to muster If theirs fates were solidly behind them. It Is for the same reason that Wisconsin's 26 votes arc placed to the credit of Ldfollette. Opposition State* Not solid. .

Bo far-, as has been disclosed, Fair- badfis, Canhpft and Knox, who are the avowed candidates, have been un­ able to corral any sentiment in other states than their own. It is different with Secretary Taft. The political leaders of many states, also'state and county committees nn l conventions, have declared fdr him In sufficient number to make it possible to print a tentative list of the dele­ gations of which he is already as­ sured, not counting Ohio.
