Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1912-05-24

President Taft, according to these
returns, has won delegates from only
the First, Second and Third districts,
with one of the two delegates from
the Thirteenth. These districts, there
fore, assure the president of seven
delegates from Ohio to the national
convention.
The congressional districts from
which the Republican returns are SO
meager as to prevent the making of
any calculations regarding their cleo
tion results are the Sixth Seventh,
Fifteenth and Sixteenth.
In the Democratic primaries Gov
ernor Harmon, so far as can be
learned, has carried the First, Second
Third, Fifth, Seventh, Eleventh and
Seventeenth districts. These victories
assure him of IA delegates to the Bal
timore convention.
Woodrow Wilson appears to have
won the delegates from the Fourth,
Ninth, Fourteenth, Twentieth and
Twenty-first districts. These counted
ten delegates for him.
The districts from which only mea-
6Si iSLul nave DttH IeCtlEeu were
the Sixth, Eighth, Tenth, Twelfth,
Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Eigh
teenth and Nineteenth.
The six delegates-at-larg from Ohio
to the Chicago convention probably
will be instructed for Roosevelt. This
probability is based OH the complexion
of the state convention delegates
chosen, nearly all of whom are of the
Roosevelt faction.
The six to the Baltimore convention
very likely will be instructed for Har-
mon, for the governor appeared to
have big lead over Wilson in the
preference vote. In the call of the
Democratic state convention it was
stipulated that the primary winner
should name the delegates-at-large.

Columbus, O.-Col. Theodore Roose-
welt appears to have won de-
cisve victory in Ohio's presidential
primaries, while Governor Harmon
seems to have led Woodrow Wilson
by narrow margin on the Demo
cratic ticket
OF twenty-one congressional dis
tricts in this state, totals computed
when fewer than half the precincts
had reported, indicated that Colonel
Roosevelt will have 81 of the AZ Re-
publican district delegates to the ma
tional convention and President Taft
seven. The result in four con,res-
sional districts was in doubt.
The same precincts had submitted
gates for Governor Harmon and ten
delegates for Woodrow Wilson had
been chosen. The result in nine con-
gressional districts was in doubt.
Roosevelt Has 27 Delegates.
On the face of the returns which
have been received Colonel Roosevelt
has carried the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth,
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Four
teenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nine
teenth, Twentieth and Twenty-tirst
districts. In the Thirteenth district
the colonel apparently has one of the
two delegates. According to these
figures Roosevelt is assured of 81 del
egates from Ohio to the Republican
national convention in Chicago.

In the death of Gen. William
Booth, head of the Salvation
Army, the world loses its great
est philanthropist. Gen. Booth
has done for the lower classes
far more than tie united efforts
of the churches have done. The
Salvation Army reaches those
who rarely enter the portals of
church. 1t ministers not only to
their spiritual needs but to their
temporal as we'll. It goes on
the presumption that in order to
save a hungry mans soul it is
first necessary to stop hunger's
cravings. The Salvation Army
is mighty engine for righteous
ness and civilization. Better, a
million times better. to die a
Gen. Booth than a Napoleon
BOnaparte.

The standpat Rock County
Herald commends the Sauk Cen
tire Herald because it is friendly
to Knute Nelson and goes on to
urge that Bro. Welles should
take our advice and support
Taft" Not today, dear Rock
county namesake. Here are a
few reasons and lots of people
consider them good. Ta f t
praised the Payne -Aldrich tariff
bill as the best ever; stood pat
behind Jim Tawney whom his
own people repudiated; lined up
with Joe Cannonism; hung on to
Ballinger until the people forced
him to let him go; made things
so uncomfortable for Wiley the
pure food expert that that gen.
tleman W a S forced to retire;
accepted the stolen goods at tile
Chicago republican convention;
and has been mere stool pigeon
for the most corrupt gang of po-
litical tricksters this country
has ever known. No, we don't
propose to stand for that kind of
a man for president. Roosevelt
sized Taft up right when he said:
II do not think Mr.. Taft means
i'll, I think he means we'll, but
he means well feebly. And dur

been surrounded by men who
are neither well meaning nor

The fine crop of grain raised
throughout the northwest this
year is bound to bring blessings
in it's train. The two preced-
ing years were barren years,
hence a good crop is very well
come. Prosperity is abroad in
the air, despite the monsoon of
political hot air and the horde of
political windjammers.

Republican a n d Democratic
machines c h arg e Theodore
Roosevelt with a desire to be in
the limelight. That being the
case why do they persist in di-
recting their searchlights upon
him? They are thus making
him the most prominent man in
the country. But They're so mad
at him aid the cause he repre-
sents that they seem to have lost
their senses. Keep it up, dear
Standpatters, your assaults only
help Teddy" and the Progress
sive cause.

If the Progressive convention
at Chicago had done nothing
more than adopt a platform plank
prohibiting federal office holders
from sitting as delegates in fu-

do much to simplify the political
situation in the South.

A peculiar condition obtains in
the present political campaign.
The Democrats and Republicans
say nothing against each other
or derogatory of the Socialists,
while the Socialists have no
bricks to throw at the Republi-
cans or the Democrats. T h e
guns of all three are trained on
the nominee Of the Progressives.
Why?
