New York Sept, 13.--Primaries held
throughout New York city today
show the relative positions of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the Old Guard,
who are fighting for control of the
coming Republican State convention
to be practically unchanged.
Roosevelt will have the support of
practically the entire delegation from
New York County, numbering 1870,
while his opponents claim 1O9 of the
142 delegates in Kings, "a in Qneens
and eight in Richmond county.
There We're unsuccessful contests
backed by the Old Guard leaders in
several districts in New York county
while in Kings the friends of Colonel
Roosevelt endeavored to capture some
of the districts heretofore controlled
iby Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff of
the Republican State committee, but
without result.
Mr. Woodruff expected to loose four
districts in Kings in which the lead
ers are recognized as progressives,
but he won in all the others.
AS soon as the results were known
at Republican State heaquarters the
state chairman issued this statement
THE returns from primaries in
Kings county show that while the
districts controlled by Naval Officer
Kracke, Postmaster voorhees,, Con-
gressman Calder and Senator Trav-

of 142 the other 109 will all support
the Kings county organization and
vote to ratify the votes of the State
committeeman from Brooklyn in the
selection of Vice President Sherman
for temporary chairman of the con-
vention. 'essN

man. Harry W. Mack, has lost his
place in the State committee and that
a number of the delegations to the
State convention will support the
State committee in the position which
it has taken nthe matter of tenn
porary chairman.
Mr.. Woodruff, in his statement, also
claims the delegates from Richmond
and Queens.
Although Chairman Woodruff says

Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy for tenn
porary chairman of the convention
against Vice President Sherman have
little realization of the rising tide OF
popular disapproval which Mr.. Roos-
evelts speeches in the West have
caused His assumption of power is
looked upn with wonderment. His
ability to arouse the passions of the
mob is dreaded in every quarter of
the State and every day the menace
of his political ascendency to busi-
ness and to labor is more thoroughly
appreciated.
IL do not believe that his name will
ever be presented to the convention
against the recommendation of the
State committee, for Mr.. Sherman. If
1t is. 1t will as certainly he voted
down in the cause of true Republi-
canism as that the convention will
convene. Thoughtful men all over the
State are aroused to the regretable
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt is today the
most dangerous foe to the world
of business and labor in the United
States. They hope with earnest soli-
citude that the Republican party in
this State will not in its convention
permit him to be the arbiter Of its
policies and th ementor of its
thoughts"

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Abraham Lincoln at one time
worked at the humble profession Of
a lawyer, and although not acknowl-
edged as one OF the brightest In that
class OF work. he usually came out
on top in most OF the cases In which
he was engaged, through saying
something witty at the proper time.
One instance will suffice for the
many which brought him victory.
In addressing jury In suit
against a man named king" Hart
for seizing piece of land from the
plaintiff, Lincoln's client, he opened
his remarks with I'VE don't believe
in kings in this country. We re-
futed that doctrine nearly one hun

trine In this country that we do be-
lieve in, and that is the Monroe Doc
trine. When the kings OF Europe
attempt to seize land in this hemi-
sphere, we apply the Monroe Doc
trine to them and they experience
a change OF heart. Why should we
not apply the same doctrine to Amer
lean kings?"

great man won his case.
