The piece discusses political forecasters in campaigns with focus on Grosvenor and Raymond of the Chicago Tribune. Raymond assigns Taft 210 electoral votes from listed states, leaves him 23 short of the 242 needed, implying likely paths to victory.
An editorial rebukes Democratic boasting of virtue in campaign contributions, noting both parties have long accepted and solicited funds. It cites the 1907 bank and corporation contribution prohibition, Roosevelt signing, Denver platform pledges, and Taft’s publicity plan to argue that Col.
