Taft Leads In Kentucky Primaries But Fairbanks Challenges
Secretary Taft appears to have won a majority of Kentucky ward and county primaries with Louisville Jefferson County sending Taft delegates to back national convention choices. Fairbanks supporters contest delegations in several districts alleging voter suppression and plan to contest Taft’s delegates in Knox and Pulaski counties. Contests may determine the state convention outcome with totals showing Taft leading in multiple districts while Fairbanks carries others.
Taft 508 Votes in Table of Probabilities
Roosevelt had predicted five hundred votes on first ballot. The New York Herald and Commercial Tribune list Taft at 508 delegates, with 266 from convention held states and 242 from states yet to hold conventions. Contests in North Carolina and Virginia could cut Taft by 48, potentially leaving 460. Tennessee and Virginia boosts, Massachusetts gains, and possible New Hampshire moves noted.
