Expectation Of the election of
solid Roosevelt delegation from Ohio
has mounted high, following Roose-
yelt's sweep OF Pennsylvania, Hi
nois, Nebraska and Oregon in direct
primaries in which the voters had
freedom 10 express without hIndrance
their presidential preference The
Illinois result, a two TO one victory
for Roosevelt the Official vote being:
Roosevelt, 2669ll; Taft, 12S,5O1; La
Toilette, 43,3l7, sent Roosevelt stock
skyrocketing.
The Pennsylvania result totally
unexpected, for Senator Bois Pen
rose, state boss and Taft leader, had
boasted Roosevelt would have less
than a dozen delegates, was the cleo
tion o. 81 pledged Roosevelt dele
gates and uninstructed delegates.
That result was a stunning blow to
the Taft cause,
It's effect on the Taft candidacy
was admitted to be "deplorable" by
Senator Crane Of Massachusetts as
he left the White House after a talk
about It with the president. From
the silent Crane that meant ss much
az the admissions of other Taft lead
ers that the presidents denomination
had become wholly improbable.
