ILLINOIS At WHITE HEAT
All Eyes on Preferential Presl-

TAFT GAINS IN STRENGTH
Impartial Political Observers Ex-
pect President to Garry 15
of 25 Districts.

Chicago, April 1.-Preparatons for the
final efforts in the political battle in Illinois
which will end on Tuesday with the selec-
ton OF the political party standard bearers
IN the state occupied the attention OF lead
ers OF the several campaigns to-day.
For the first time In the history Of the
state, the rank and file OF the voters will
have an opportunity to declare their pref
erence for a Presidential candidate. ILL
nois will also be the first great pivotal state
in the political campaign TO have prefer
entail Presidential vote and this fact 10 a
great extent overshadows the contests over
state offices, some Of which have been run
ming for months.
On the Republican side the contest be-
tween the followers Of President Taft and
the supporters Of Colonel Roosevelt is now
at white heat and each faction hopes for
an expression OF preference from the
voters which will settle the manner in
which the fifty-eight Illinois delegates will
vote at the national Republican convention
next June. There is no doubt that Mr
Taft is stronger in the state to-day than
at any previous time.
The fight has been carried into the 4,26o
voting precincts in the state, and tons OF
literature have been distributed IN the ef-
fort to interest every voter.
Three names will appear on the Repub-
lican ballot for Presidential preference
Taft, Roosevelt and La Toilette. The Dem
ocratc ballot will have the names Of
Speaker Champ Clark and Governor Wood
row Wilson.

Promising for President.

Impartial political observers express the
opinion that Mr.. Taft will carry at least
fifteen Of the twenty-five districts and win
the eight delegates-at-large, giving him
total Of thirty-eight delegates out Of the
states ffty-eight.
1t is expected that Mr.. Taft's support
will come mainly from the business men OF
the state, from the more important manu-
featuring interests and from the rural dis
tricts. Mr.. Roosevelt, II is believed, Will
make a strong showing where union labor
forces are we'll organized. He is strong
with that part OF the farming class when
opposes President Taft for his defence OF
the Payne-Aldrich tariff and strong advo'
cacy OF Canadian reciprocity.
Mr.. Roosevelt alienated from his can
didacy many Illinois voters by his proposal
for the recall of judges and judicial de-
clsions. HIS recent speech in Chicago. IN
which he seriously attacked the party lead
ers in New York, Indiana, Colorado and
other states. where the results Of primaries
and conventions were against him. hurt him
materially.
on the state ticket there are eight Re-
publican candidates for Governor and four
Democratic candidates. Under the new ap-
portionment Illinois Is entitled to two Con-
Cressmen-at-lerGe. and there are nine can
didates for this ONCE on both the Demo-
cratic and Republican tickets
There are four Republican candidates Tor
United States Senator from Illinois and
one Democratic candidate. In twelve OF the
twenty-five Congress districts Of the state
cnly one Democratic candidate Is seeking
nomination, and in five districts only one
Republican has been named.
In Chicago the voters will have chance
to vote on the question of woman suffrage,
and an unusual feature Of primary day Will
be the presence OF women az the polls urg-
ing the voters to cast a ballot in favor of
woman Suffrage.

Columbus, Ohio the doctors ears.
AS soon as he heard what people were
saying he was very quick and en-
phatic in his denial of any intent on
his part to Great such an impression
No, said the Doctor, do not claim to
have any magical cures l do not
claim to have a cure for anything.
Judging from the number Of letters
receive, however, concerning Mrs. Eb-
erlein's case, from people who have
similar complaints, should Judge that
catarrh of the lungs is very prevalent.
The number of people afflicted are in
creasing. In spite of the strenuous eff
forts Of health boards catarrh prevails
more and more every year.
No. l do not claim to have a mir

WHICH

WHICH?
As you 60 by train westward from
the city of st. Louis you note a long
northwest.
The towers are built to hold the big
cables that are to convey electric pow
Or from the Keokuk dam to the city.
The big dam is nearly 200 miles
AWAY, and the power will be conveyed
along seven copper cables running over
the towers.
Sixty thousand horsepower will be
transmitted from the power house at
Keokuk to turn the wheels of hun
dreds of st. Louis factories and pro-
vide light for the city.
st. Louis has contracted for this co.
600 horsepower, which will leave 14O,-
600 to be distributed to other cities.
And
II the demand exceeds this supply
other turbines will be put in sufficient
to double the capacity and make it
0O,OO0 horsepower.
There was no especial problem in
getting this power to ST. Louis.
Here was the need; there was the
power. All that was required was
proper connection between the need
and the power.
However,
One never ceases to wonder not only
at the mysterious phenomena of the
hidden power in electricity, but at the
possibility of conveying this tremen-
dous power hundreds of miles by wire.
But why wonder?
Here is a man of wonderful power.
Where does he get it? Where is the
great dynamo with which he is con-
nected? What Is the connection?
The power Is not wholly in the man
himself.
Every man who has studied himself
well knows there is a power outside
of himself, that somewhere in the uni
verse is a dynamo with which he Is
more or less connected.
What is that power?
He does not know any more than he
knows what electricity is. He can
name 1t, but he does not know it.
But
He does know there is an infinite
power house through which power is
diffused.
And
Which Is the more wonderful. the
distribution through visible connection
Of a physical power or the invisible
connection with an invisible power?

Criqin of Croouet,

The origin of croquet is certainly in
volved in mystery. Some authorities
are of the opinion that it is founded on
the old game Of pale maille," or pell-
nell, from which we have the street
Pail Mall. This is described by Cot
grave in his dictionary as "a game
wherein a round box bowie Is with a
mallet struck through a high arch Of
yron," and a picture of this in Struts
Sports and Pastimes" shows that
these had a strong resemblance to the
croquet implements of today.
