In the rear.
That is the situation In the two
great battles for Presidential nomin.
atoms now being wsged throughout
the nation. az indicated by The
Herald's country wide poll.
In the number Of delegates gathered
In during the week the President led
his rivals. He attained 80 as aEsinst
eight for Mr.. Roosevelt and -four for
Nc. Cummins.
The eight for delegates on each side
Is becoming one OF the most specta-
cular contest OF It's kind over witness
ed In the country. Especially IN this
true on the Republican side. with
President Taft and Theodore Roose-
veit both making speeches In debat-
able sections.
Up to the present time 672 OF the
l.Vts delegates who will sit IN. the Re
puollcan convention have been elect
eo' vi these 415 are either instructed
TOT the President or have announced
that they would vote for him. Mr.
Roosevelt has 207 delegates, which Is
S55 short OF a majority. There are
900 delegates yet to be elected. and
the best judgment at the present time
is that President TAFT will obtain from
the Q the 125 needed to give him a
majority.
Bay State Primaries.
The chief event OF the present week
Will be the primary elections in Mas
for the selection OF dele
gates TO the national convention. Mas
sachusetts has % delegates. and the
contest there will be watched with
the keenest interest throughout the
country.
On the Democratic side 400 dele-
gates have been chosen. Speaekr
Clark leads with 14s delegates. Gov.
ernor Wilson ranks second with IFS.
Representative Underwood stands
third with the "a delegates from his
state lined up behind him. Speaker
Clark. so far as popular sentiment
goes. has been making much Roadway
during the last week. From all of the
Information, Il would appear that
Governor Wilson still stands first as
the popular favorite. Governor Har.
mon appears 10 have lost strength In
his own state. due TO his failure 10
obtain delegates in other states. No
Democratic delegates vera elected
last week. but the various candidates
were preparing for a battle to the
hilt" in many states.

suggestion OF a possible break in the
Taft ranks of southern delegates. Two

Babylore of Farce Islands.

From the Atlantic
If child cries while it is being bapuz-
ed it will have a good voice and sing well
at the ballad dances. The water must
never be allowed to run down into the
baby's eyes, or it will have "seconI
sight" This is not a happy gift. and the
godmother who is holding the child tits
it at the right moment SO the water
flows back over the forehead. The man
who carries a baby boy to and from the
church goes as fast as possible, SO the
bow will be strong at the oar and sure
footed on the jelds. This, you observe,
for the boy baby. No such trouble 10
taken for a mere girl. But. for both
alike, there is this precaution: never
leave a child alone before 1t is Tap
tized. Until then it falls easily into tina
power of evil spirits. and is in danger OF
being carried away by Hulderfolk. These
underground creatures are not the little
people, or the brownies. In size and APP
pearance they resemble human beings
They have boats and 60 10 the fishery:
they have cows. sheep (that are always
gray, dogs large black hounds that
often have light on the end of the
tails); but one thing the Hulderfolk lacs,
and that Is souls. II. however. they can
take away Farce baby and substitute
one of their own. and 1t Is baptized, then
that child will have q soul.

Bob indeed, distresses us with the ans
nouncement that he has quit his fiddle
and will never play again. We might
spare his other musical accomplishments
with better grace.
AS a fiddler Bob Taylor was essentially
the best of democrats. He was the ex-
ponent Of Jeffersonian simplicity In mel
ody. He was on record against the high
denounced grand opra' as the epitome.
and he hated the affectation of violin
virtuosity typified in Yanny Kubelik as
being contrary to nature. He reveled in
a good old tune, pronounced "toon" and
not "tewn," and, as we have delighted
to note ere this, he would leave his horse
hitched at a camp meeting and walk
fifty miles to play Turkey in the Straw"
and call the numbers for a barn warming.
Brier Patch and Leather Breetches"
were included in his repertoire. all learned
by ear. and with plenty of rosin on the
bow. which was a principle of his. he
could make his fiddle outsing a kettle
outbuzz bumblebee. outhum a sawmill
and tickle the heel o. a negro a half mile
away into a syncopated spasm. Bob
Taylor could cast out devils with his mu-
sic He could cure human misery. He
vote. He could make even a standpatter
dance.
Alas, that he has hung up the fiddle and
the bow at a time when the full strength
Of the democratic orchestra Is most
needed in the land!
