PittsburS, Pa.-With returns still
i%ncomplete, it is known that Presi-
dent Taft will have only nine dele
gates from Pennsylvania. OF these.
seven are from Philadelphia and two
from Lancaster. Roosevelt will have
all the rest in the state, or a total
of CO, including the twelve to be
selected at the state convention.
The Penrosc-Oliver machine was
shattered.
Even John Dalzell, who has been
in congress for &c years from Pitts
the successful candidate being M.
Clyde Kelly. Dalzcll has long been
one of the foremost leaders in on
gress. Dalzell, together with Payne
and Cannon. practically ruled the
lower house of congress during the
republican regime. Dalzell barely es-
capped defeat in the last election. He
has always been an uncomprising adj
vocate of high tariffs.
Philadelphia, Pa.-Incomplete re-
turns of Saturdays primaries from
every district in the state, give Col.
Rooorevelt Go of the &c delegates
from this state to the republican
national convention. The Roosevelt
men claim Ga.
Col. Roosevelt fairly shattered the
old Penrosc machine which has been
supreme in the state since the pass
ing of Quay, and will control the
state convention. This state owen
ton, in addition TO choosing twelve
delegates TO the national convention,
will select SO presidential electors
four congressmen-at-large and tho
state officials.
The vote Saturday was light, rep
r~esenting about SO per cent of The
/, voters. Woodrow Wilson has "a o
the &c democratic delegates, TIL,
, other two being for Judge Harmon.
5 The Taft men are making few
: claims. Manager Mckinley still say
that Taft will be nominated, Blu
/, many politicians think the result i
: Illinois and Pennsylvania will elm
S mate Taft from the race.
