Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 July 1912 — Taft Stood Third In Straw Vote. [ARTICLE]

Taft Stood Third In Straw Vote.

W. J. Wright attended a meeting of furniture dealers in Chicago last week, and while we do not think that he is a very strong Roosevelt man himself, but rather is a stand-patter, he says a straw vote was of the 3,0 00 traveling furniture salesmen attending the meeting and of these Roosevelt got 1,570-votes; Wilson about 1100 and Taft the remainder. It looks very much as though Taft would wind up about third in the big sweepstakes race in November.
