The Republican ticket for presidential electors lists thirteen names under Taft and Sherman.

The piece argues Roosevelt's statewide majority over Parker, 158,766, would require massive per-county losses to fall to 58,600.

The report notes Roosevelt carried Nebraska by 86 682 votes and suggests Bryan would need 48 641 Roosevelt supporters to switch for a bare plurality.
