OHIO PRIMARIES TOMORROW
Expected That the State Will Be
Strong for Taft.

Columbus, o., Feb. 9.-The county
primaries at which delegates to the
Republican state convention on March
3 are to be selected will be held
throughout Ohio. An overwhelming
majority of these delegates will be in
favor of William H. Taft for president,
and the convention may be unanimous
ly in his favor.
The dubious spots are Knox county,
which has seven delegates and Cuya-
hoga county, with sixty-three dele
gates. The contest in the latter coun-
ty is the more serious, not only be-
cause of the greater number of dele
gates involved, but by the fact that
the Foraker faction has sought to
big them into court and will, it Is
expected, ask the supreme court to-
morrow for permission to file the case
before that body.

Edward c. Brooks Had Lost All OF
His Fortune.

New York, Feb. 9.-Declaring that
he had lost a fortune in Wall street
through duplicity, +. c. Brooks. who
came from the west a wealthy man a
few years ago, killed himself in an
annex of the Produce Exchange yes
terday by drinking poison.
Entries in diary indicated that
Brooks had sustained heavy losses in
the financial district. One entry, re-
corded losses aggregating 100000 in
single day. Little was known of
Brooks around the Produce Exchange.
1t is said that when he came from
the west few years ago he appeared
to have plenty of money. He was UNI
fortunate in speculation, however, and
of late had been on the verge of pow
erty. Within the past two days he
had made application at the Exchange
for employment, even asking to be put
to work as porter or laborer. He
/ was about 30 years old.

desert him at the convention of 1888,
and thus lost him the presidential
nomination The New York World
acutely comments that Mr.. Sherman
Cmits to explain how he got these
delegates to pledge themselves in the
first place. Again it is freely charged
that Mark Hanna bought the negro
Gel egates for Mckinley in 1896 by
enormous brides. and the charge has
never been very vigorously disputed.
Now comes the accusation that
those evil geniuses who pass by the
common name of Standard Oil, are
buying up the negro delegations from
the south to use them for the discom-
future of Mr.. Taft in the coming re-
publican convention. Certainly some
body is buying them up. In each OF
the states named above from which
come delegates but not votes there is
It strong anti-Roosevelt movement
which seems likely to produce divided
or contesting delegations. Mr. Roose-
welt suggests that the crowd out or
Office is thus seeking to revenge on
| the administration; but his explana-
| ton is too charitable. The wretched
creatures nave no money of their own
IL. finance a political revolt. Some
body is advancing funds to them. If
it is not the Standard Oil pirates, who
| is it? Who has a stronger motive
than they to blight the future of the
Roosevelt policies?
These southern delegates. who rep
resent nothing but their own venality,
and the predatory greed of their pur-
chasers, may possibly control the re-
publican convention, name the next
presidential candidate of the party,
end thus determine the course of our
rational policy for many years to
come. This is too much power for
them to possess. They are entitled
| to it neither by the votes they rep
resent nor by their character 1t is
The plain duty of the northern dele
gates to disfranchise them in the con-
vention. This duty they owe to their
party and also to the nation, for the
people will not tolerate a sale of the
presidency. In former years it might
have been accomplished, but not now
| II is time for the decent majority in
| the republican party to take the bull
| by the horns and end this scandal OF
the negro delegations once for all
By doing so they have nothing to lose
and everything to gain
