pen, appeared at the Hilldrop Crescent
house. The dentist and the second
Mrs. Crippen" were seen in the house
as late as last Saturday.
The crime is so unusual and sur
rounded by such peculiar features
that the best operatives OF Scotland
Yard have been detailed to seek the
missing dentist.
The dead woman, II she Is really

Not without reason are Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt worried about the
situation In Ohio. NO Republican
state is more precariously Republican.
The great Roosevelt plurality OF
255, 900 In 1904 had practically melted
away In 1908. Mr.. Taft's total vote
was 572,312 to Mr.. Bryan's 502.721,
but Judson Harmon's vote for govern
or at the same election was $50, 1853
to Mr.. Harris 553,1s7. Thus a Demo
cratic gubernatorial plurality Of 49,
373 was balanced against a Republic

Republicans say that the Taft vote
represented the normal Republican
plurality on national issues and that
