Time and again ColonelJEfeodore Rooserelt, the third term party's can
dldate for president of the TJnlted States, has stated that the famous $240,
000 raised by the late B. HHarriman In the fall of 1904 'was for use In th
New York state campaign. He also declared most positively a few weeks ago
that he had ordered Chairman Cortelyou of the Republican national oommlt
tee, not to accept any money from the Standard Oil company in that cam
paign and to return it if any had been accepted. -,
.'On Honday, Sept 30, O. C. Tegethofl, secretary to. the Late B. H. Harri
man, produced the above receipt of the Republican national committee, signed
by Treasurer Cornelius N. Bliss, for Mr. Harriman's Individual contribution
of $50,000 to this "fund, proving conclusively that it was used in behalf of
Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy. The day following John D. Arch bold, president
of the Standard Oil company, produced the documentary proof that his com

predicting bis re-eleotion . He is
certain Roosevelt will be defeated. .
At Republican', headquarters . in
New York, the calculators -are a
little more definite.' - They give
Taft, as matters now atand,f 254
electoral votes. It .takes 266 fo
elest. This would leave -Taft only
12 votes to gain and these. the Re
publicans expect to get in some of
the doubtful States, probably
from Ohio, New Jersey, Main and
Colorado. The Republicans bavs
abandoned California; to Wilson.
Among the doubtful" States, they
claim Maryland.' Delaware," Ten,
nesse, Virginia, Arizona, Kansas,
Nebraska, West Virginia, Nortn

claim for Taft are: Connecticut,

York, Oregon, , Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, tUtahV Vermont,

solid South and the lone States of
