Charles Phelps Taft updates President Roosevelt on the electoral situation in Ohio. In general, the national ticket is expected to win a plurality of the votes. Taft also expects Governor Andrew L. Harris to be re-elected, in spite of the damage being done by the liquor question. Henry Archer Williams, chairman of the State Executive Committee, reports that the situation among “the laboring people” has improved in the last few weeks.
