An overwhelming ma jority of these delegates will be in favor or William 1T. Taft and the convention may be unanimously in his favor
 Under recent decision of the repub- hcan state central committee, 1t will not be necessary to hold actual primaries un- less there is more than one ticket in the held, and by virtue of this ruling in 8 out Of total of SS counties in the state, the regular Taft delegates will be chosen merely by the certifcation of their names.
 In the remaining 36 counties primaries will be held, but in only four of these is there opposition to Taft, and in but one county Cuyahoga, in which is the city of Cleveland, does the fight against him show any sign of consequence.
 The convention will be attended by S15 delegates, of which number Taft is cer- tain to have 745, almost certain of 752 and his political managers are confident that he will have them all
 That Arthur l. Vorys will continue in full control of the management of the canvass for the nomination of William H. Taft for President at the coming repub- lican national convention was made clear by the Secretary of War in a statement which he gave to the press today while passing through Columbus en route to Kansas City, where he will speak at a banquet tomorrow night. The statement in part is as follows:
 Mir. Vorys is in charge of the whole matter and will continue to be so until the end. The general headuuarters will be at Columbus, but MT. vorys himself requested that the assistance of MT. Hitchcock be procured because he felt the need of some one to look after af- fairs in the east and south, and 1t was at Mir. vorys' earnest request that the as- slstance of Mir. Hitchcock was solicited and procured''

No FIattery Necessary

From the Success Magazine"

 'That's just what I said to my boss" interrupted the agent. ''I told him, when he suggested your name to me, that 1t was a relief to call on man who did not expect to be praised and fattered to his face all the time. I tell you. MT. Grump, this city has mighty few men such as you. Nine men out of ten are simply dying to have some one tell them how great they are. but you are above such weakness. Ane one can see that at a glance. I'm glad of it. It's helpful to me to meet a man who rises superior to the petty tactics of the average solicitor. It's real and lasting benefit, and an in- structive experience :"
 Ten minutes later. after a few more such comments on the part of the agent, the man who could not be flattered into signing the contract was asking which line his name should be written on.

 The advance sale of seats for Adelaide Thurston. who comes to the Jefferson theatre Wednesday afternoon and night. opens at the Jefferson box office at o clock this morning. Miss Thurston will be seen in "The Girl From Out Wonder" a play which was so cordially received here last year that she was forced to make a curtain talk. It was something new for a woman to receive so many cur tain calls. and when she made her speech of thanks Miss Thurston reminded the audience that it was the eighth year Bir- mingham had given her just such re- ception. In commenting on the play last year, The Age-Herald said: Miss Thurs ton and her clever little company are en- titled to credit for their interpretation of the book written by Pauline Phelps and Marion Short. for they certainly do make it seem a touching tale of life among the seadogs of the coast"

Must Convince Immigrant.

First of all, you must convince the inn migrant that it is to his interest to go to one place rather than another. You cannot effect any permanent change by persuading few hundred families to go to a particular section, even if you pay all their expenses. It is indispensable that they should be well treated after they get to their future home. Unless they see the prospect of a good livelihood, and above all unless they are treated as friends. you will get none to follow them.
