RATS CARRY. GERMS
Bubonic Plague Can Be Caught
from Rodents.

1t has been discovered by medical au-
thorities that rats carry the germs Of
this very serious disease. This plague.
az It IS called, has wiped out Asiatic vii
lagos and spreads among the people very
rapidly. The holds Of all the large ships
entering the port Of New York City are
being fumigated with extra care and
five hundred rat traps have been ordered
Up TO date the rats that have been cx-
amined for this germ have not proved
infected. But the authorities are taking
every precaution, because the disease has
been found lately In some countries which
are very near us and from whore mcr-
chandise IS sent to vs. This should be
warning to us about playing with rats on
the wharves or in barns.

PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN
TAFT's MANAGER CLAIMS ,43
DELEGATES.
Many Conventions to BE Held This
Week-Roosevelt on . Weeks

Washington, d. c. President
Taft has 143 delegates to the Chicago
convention. Colonel Roosevelt has Is.
Senator La Toilette has 10, and Sena-
tor Cummins has 2. The Taft man
ayers admit contests in the first
Georgia, the third, fifth and fourteenth
Missouri. the second Tennessee and
the third Oklahoma districts.
On the democratic side Wilson has
10 delegates, Clark has Sc, Marshall
has 80 and Harmon has 9, while IL
delegates are uninstructed.
No delegates are to be elected on
the democratic side this week. The
Arkansas primaries are set for the
twenty-fifth, but the convention will
come later. Speaker Clark confident
ly expects that he will get the Arkan.

Counting the New York primaries,
140 delegates will be elected this
week on the republican side, bringing
the total number elected up to 80,
or more than one-half of a majority
of the convention, which will be 539.
During this week the managers of
the Roosevelt campaign will make
final effort to arouse fresh interest
In their candidate. Mr.. Roosevelt will
campaign in Illinois, Missouri, Min
nesota and Michigan from Tuesday
until Saturday. incidentally, he will
do what he can for himself in north.
ern Indiana. The Taft managers say
they are not worried about the effect
Of the Roosevelt speaking tour.
Senator La Toilette will start April
on his long campaign tour His spe-
cial mission is to oppose Roosevelt
In states where there is insurgent re-
publican sentiment. He proposes to
make a speciality of Nebraska. He
had planned to spend the whole Of
next week in Wisconsin. his home
state, where the primaries are to be
held April 2. but since Roosevelt has
decided not to contest for delegates
IN that state the senator will rest un-
til April 1.
President Taft will make several
speeches in April. He plans to an
swer every speech made by Roose-
velt. The probability is that he will
make one more trip to Ohio before
the delegates are chosen in that state
He is anxious to go into the conven-
tion with at least 500 delegates.
