The republican primaries in Ohio were
carried by the Taft forces. Following
the primaries Senator Foraker gave out
this statement: Nobody should be
either surprised or misled by the result
of the primaries held in Ohio. 1t has
been common knowledge for weeks that
these primaries was of such character
that my friends throughout the state
refused to participate. Consequently
there was no opposition to the selection
of Taft delegates. Under such circum-
stances he would of course carry every
thing. That the result of the primaries
does not indicate anything conclusive
should be manifest from the fact that
the total vote polled will not represent
more than ten per cent of the republic
cans of Ohio. There were only two dis
tricts in which there was any approach
to contest, and these contests were
due to the fact that there We're oppos-
ing candidates in each district for the
nomination to congress. In the Sixth
district the Taft candidate was de-
4 feated by 1905, while in the Fifteenth
district, Mr.. Dawes, the Taft leader and
candidate for denomination, is probably
beaten, according to the latest advices
| have received. If there had been 9
primary in which we could have partici

possible, if not probable, all over the

On the net result of the inquiry the
paper bases these predictions:
1. On the first ballot Taft will lack
about $50 of the nomination; his total
may increase in subsequent ballots, but
not sufficiently to nominate him.
2. Hughes will be 125 or more behind
Taft on first ballot, but will increase on
avery ballot until nominated.
3. On no ballot will a majority of
I any candidates vote be transferred to
Taft.
4. The candidate who, although his
vote may be large to begin with, will
loose votes the quickest is Cannon.
5. When majority of Cannon's vote
goes to Hughes, following a breakaway
of some Cannon votes to Taft, the Penn
sylvania vote will follow the bulk of the
Cannon vote to Hughes on the same bal
lot.

Foraker vote will go to Hughes.
