Roosevelt Vote in
Middle West Large.

In the middle Western states, which
have long been the backbone Of the
Republican party, Colonel Roosevelt
is cutting old Republican lines to
pieces. and in states like Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota and Wisconsin he will carry
away enough Republicans to enable the
Democrats TO win comparatively easy
victories In all OF these states, with
the exception of wisconsin, Colonel
Roosevelt appears to be stronger than
President Taft, but the efforts OF Sen
ator LaFollette in Wisconsin have kept
many voters away from Roosevelt.
While apparently they have not
strengthened Taft sufficiently to insure
him a plurality. they undoubtedly have
aided the chances Of Wilson'S carrying
the state
Wisconsin may be classed as rather
close, az may Minnesota, with the
chance that Wilson will receive about
10000 plurality in each.
The Southern states have little
change to report over previous eondi-
tons. They will cast the normal Demo
cratic strength for Wilson. which means
that he viii get solid vote in the
solid South. whereas President Taft will
receive the bulk OF the Republican vote
except in a few states where Roose.

Stato pride is cutting considerable
hSoro ia the Jersey campaign and
many Republicans of standing have
declared themselves FOR Wilson. Tndi-
cations are that If there ts any change
from the figures given IT will be an in
crease in plurality for Wilson rather
than any decrease
For the first time in history. the state
Of Pennsylvania threatens TO throw its
electoral vote 70 q Democratic candi-
date for the presidency. In the kew
stone State Colonel Roosevelt appar-
emily is much stronger taan President
Taft and the indications are that the

This split in the party is 50 great THAT
many Taft Republicans have tu-Hed to
Governor Wilson, who if the present
estimates are carried out. will be an
easy winner by about 10000 majority
in the state
There is little to be said about the
conditions in the presidents home state
Of Ohio which, from early in the
spring, has been q hotbed of iusuIrec-
ton against the administration. The
only question in the state is whether
Taft or Roosevelt win get large Re-

TAFT appears TO be leading the colonel

The Democrats are standing sol.div
behind Wilson, who win poll more than
100000 votes and receive q plurality OF

Roosevelt Will Lead
Taft in Indiana.

The situation in Indiana and Illinois
is very much like that in Ohio, with the
Democrats standing steady and the Re
publicans split. There never has been a
any doubt about Wilson carrying In
diana but in that state Roosevelt will
lead Taft in the popular vote. Illinois has
oeen long claimed BY the Progressives,
but local conditions have apparently
mado Democratic victory q certainty
Il Governor Wilson doesn't receive
more .hau $4,000 plurality in the state
the best politicians of all parties will be
surprised.
Tho state of>AiarylanG. which has for
several presidential campaigns wavered
in its allegiance to the Democratic par
ty. is preparing to return TO the fold.
All difficulties have been settled in that
state the party ~ united. whereas the
Same conditions Of disruption in the
Republican party prevails as elsewhere.
This inslres the success Of Wilson In
the state, and it is expected that his
plurality viii not be less than $4,000,
with Taft second and Roosevelt third.
In this state there is more notice
.ble Roosevelt movement among the
Democrats than elsewhere. The negro
vote. which was aggrieved at the colo
neYs attitude at the Chicago conven-
ton viii be largely responsible for the
president running ahead Of the Bull
Moose. At one time the Maryland ne
groes were almost unanimous for
Roosevelt and now they are almost SOL
id for Taft.
Tho little state OF Delaware Will show
close vote between Wilson and Roose-
welt. with Taft running third. The
Georgian's investigation leads to the
belief that Wilson will have small
majority over Roosevelt perhaps 1000
In all, the state will cast about 10000
votes.
West Virginia is another state whicn
mas since 1896, been inclined to de-
eart its old Democratic faith. but in
this year apparently a certainty for
Wilson by a ma iority Of between 10000
and $4,000.
Roosevelt is stronger among Repub-
Hcans of the state than Taft, and may
lead the president by $4,000 votes. The

I'VE have so many requests from

we decided to prepare this exhibit

lieve that it is just as important to
give a child book which is artistically

the story is pure and wholesome. There
Is no reason why we should give child

1T is impossible for a book seller to
take the time in the rush of the week

choose books for children. 1t is equally
impossible for the shopper to search

SHOT WRONG MAN.
Deputy Fired at Stranger Who Darted
Away Suddenly.

Raleigh, NJ c., March 27.-A
special from Henderson, N. c., to-
night gives the particulars Of dis
tressing event there this evening, In
which a deputy sheriff named Kit
Davis shot and mortally wounded a
young white man of good reputation
named Walter Cawthorn, an en-
ployee of bagging factory. Caw-
thorn, it is stated, will hardly survive
the night.
The circumstances are given as
follows, in brief:
A report reached the sheriff's Of
flee that a man answering the de-
scription Of a tramp who shot and
killed J. R. King, the trainman at
Norlina last night, had been seen in
the city and the deputy went in
search of him. When he approached
the court house he saw a crowd of
men standing near. He thought
that the suspect had probably been
arrested by other persons and went
to the crowd. When he neared the
men one of them darted away sud.
denly and the deputy promptly fired
at him, the ball taking effect in his
back and penetrating vital parts.
