BOTH SIDES CLAIM OHIO
Indications that Roosevelt Men viii
Control State Convention

Columbus, Ohio, May 26.-With If
teen county conventions to be held
for the selection of delegates to the
Republican state convention. the Taft
and Roosevelt forces both claim con-
troll of the convention. Taft leaders
say the results of yesterday give
them more than 400 delegates.
Authentic reports give Roosevelt
102 delegates in the thirty-nve coun-
ties which held conventions yester-
day, against So for Taft, while 81, in
Guiding the big. Cuyahoga delegation
of 3d. are uninstructed.
1t is strongly evident that when the
convention meets one week from fn-
morrow the Roosevelt forces Will con
troll il and name six delegates at
large. A serious jar to the Taft PEG
ple was the action in Cuyahoga coun-
| ty. where the presidents followers
failed to put through instructions de-
claring for Taft. An uninstructed
delegation headed by Senator Burton
was named.
Taft managers here have received
information which leads them to be-
lieye that Maurice Maschke who Is
collector of customs under appoint
ment by Taft, and controls the Guy
ahoga delegation, may desert Tart
when the time comes and throw the
votes to Roosevelt. Matschke was
thought to be wavering month ago,
and also to have made deal with
Walter F. Brown. He was then
summoned to Washington, and after
a conference with Taft managers 1t
was supposed he would be loyal to
the president. Chairman Laylin says
however that Senator Burton whom
the Taft people have chosen for tenn
porary chairman of the convention,
is expected to hold the delegation for
Taft.
That the Roosevelt forces may
control the delegation from Hamilton
county at the state. convention is a
report current here. 1t Is said that
tacit understanding has been reach
ed between the state Roosevelt lead
ers and the Hamilton county delega-
ton that If New Jersey votes for
Roosevelt Tuesday the Hamilton
county delegation will consider the
Taft campaign hopeless and turn to
Roosevelt.

Reports indicate that the DeBoeT
meeting in Woodstock, Saturday
night, was something of a success
despite some unfavorable circumstan
ces. Not all of the prominent resi-
dents were in sympathy with the af
fair, but a band from Montpelier and
significant Windsor county support
helped out. Strategically it was an
invasion of nominal Fletcher terri
tory and, perhaps, Mr.. Fletcher will
find excuse in 1t for an advance on
his part into Mr.. DeBoer's county OF
Washington.-Rutland News.
1t also serves to remind the rest
of the state that there is a state
campaign in progress which most
people had forgotten owing to the
more acute interest in national poll
tics

Roads Yesterday, Today and 7 Tomorrow

Roads Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
The country road which was good
enough yesterday for the horse. la
den with the farmer and his grain
bag. with the grist in one end and
stone in the other, has gone with yes
terday and yesterdays farmers and
yesterdays ways-highways and low
ways-are gone forever
Yesterday the road past his farm
belonged to the farmer but today II
belongs TO the county or state and
tomorrow 1t will belong to the Uni.
ted States. with an invitation to the
world to use 1t.
Yesterdays road was poor because
yesterdays people were poor. They
had a wilderness to penetrate, the
stumps and roots TO obliterate, the
turf of a million years TO pillow and
cultivate. so how could they make
good roads? There was no time to
build good roads; there was no mon.
ey to pay for good roads; there was
no commerce requiring good roads. so
no good roads were built.
They built as good roads as they
needed and II would be foolish for
any generation to build better roads
than are required at the time OF
building. for no man knows what TO
morrow has in store for us. Perhaps
railroads and highways will pass OH
of use, the rights Of way be titled
and the produce of the future bt
carried TO markets In combination ail
and water craft. However. this vii
not happen In our day, so II is VI
TO us to do as we'll for this genera
ton as yesterdays people did fol
themselves.
To-day we have enormous cities e
feed, villages everywhere growing in
to cities. and today's demand is fol
roads that will permit a four ton 'oai
to be hauled twenty miles to tow
before breakfast MIX must b,
brought 80 to- 100 miles. Railroad
cannot be built past every farm, bu
good roads can be built where traffi
is not sufficient TO demand railroad
and yet Is enough to warrant goo,
roads.
: Every citizen travelling in an auto
mobile or hauling with a motor true
has as good a right to be served wit
road for his machine today as ha,
the man on horseback 300 years az
and yesterdays road will not answe
the purpose.
Today demands more miles OF we
graded and properly drained cart
roads than of any other kind. Toda
demands more miles of common wa
er bound maoadam road than ma
ever yet been built. Today the hal
million automobiles and motor truck
demand that near all cities the SUI
face OF the road shall be so hard. $
smooth and so welded together wit
cement. bitumen or something a
good or better, that the wheels sha
not pull the road to pieces or sue
out the binder which holds Il I,
gether.-Horatio s. Earle. Form,

The finding of the congressional
committee that the officers of the
steamer. Californian, were largely
responsible for the awful death list
from the wreck of the Titanic, and
that the most of the dead might have
been saved, is one of the most ter
rife indictments ever brought against
human beings. 1t will tend to make
officers of steamships more respon-
sive to calls for help, even though it
can never bring back a single one OF
those who were left to their fate.

The result in New Jersey again EN-
phasizes the fact that the rank and
file of the Republican voters prefer
Roosevelt to Taft. In the states
which went Republican in 1908
where there has been direct voting
so that a fair comparison could be
made. Col. Roosevelt has so far lee
President Taft by over four hundred
thousand in the popular vote.
