In some districts and counties, the Congressional candidates may outperform Taft, while in others, the reverse may be true. Of particular concern is the possibility that illiterate African Americans may inadvertently spoil ballots which have deliberately been made confusing.

President Roosevelt tells Senator Lodge that he believes that the situation in Ohio is improving. He believes that William H. Taft will have a bigger plurality east of the Alleghanies than he had four years ago. He also guesses that they may be slightly favored in Maryland. He believes the majorities will fall off west of the Alleghenies, but does not anticipate losing any electoral votes except perhaps Missouri and Nevada. As an aside, Roosevelt notes that as he has dictated this letter, William Loeb grumbled that the Republicans are going to lose Colorado, although Roosevelt doubts that.
