ROOSEVELT MEN
 CLAIM VICTORY
North Carolina Republican State Convention at Ral-
 eigh Wednesday

Raleigh, N. C., May 12.--Great interest attaches to the republican state conven- ton to be held here next Wednesday when four delegates at large and four alternates to the Chicago convention will be selected. The supporters of Colonel Roosevelt claim they will control the convention overwhelmingly. The Taft forces deny this, but are not making any claims.
 Delegates from seven congressional dis- tricts. including the Second, Fourth, tifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth will be selected tomorrow and Tuesday. The Third district will hold immediately after the state convention. The First and Sixth have been held. Supporters of Roosevelt claim they will control all of these dis trict conventions and send two delegates from each to the Chicago convention in- structed for the former President.
 Friends of President Taft do not con cede this. Although the convention Wednesday is called primarily for the purpose of selecting delegates to the na- tional convention, it is stated that an attempt may be made at this time to in- dorse for d new national committeeman to succeed F. c. Duncan.
 The democratic primaries for county offices will be held May IS. There Is no opposition to the nomination of Locke Craig of Asheyille as the party's candi- date for governor. The fight in North Carolina for delegates to the democratic national convention is between Under wood and Wilson

A Week of Campaigning

Columbus, Ohio, May 12.-From to- morrow morning until tho dawn of the primary election, May 21. there is scarcely a crossroads station in this state so unimportant numerically that 1t does not expect to entertain at least one presidential possibility. Four seek CTS after the nomination for the pres idency President Taft, Colonel Roose- welt. Governor Harmon and Senator LaFollette will tour the state. while lesser lights, United States senators, cabinet members and department heads are figuring on campaigning and speak ing at points where limited train fa- cil.ties and the inability of the can didates to be in more than one place at one time will prevent their appear ance.
 President Taft will begin his cam paign at Marietta tomorrow morning and make more than a dozen import ant speeches during the day. Colonel Roosevelt will begin his speaking Tuesday morning at Bellair and go over practically the same route the Presi-, ! dent WI Ill have taken the preceding day. Altogether Colonel Roosevelt will make more than GO speeches during the time he is here.
 Governor Harmon will begin his speechmaking trip at Wooster Wednes- day night. He will cover many of the points lately visited by Colonel Bryan on his anti Harmon trip and has an nounced that he will speak on the charges made by the Nebraskan that friends of the governor sought unduly to influence Bryan pledged delegates in 1908
 Senator LaFollette will speak only ja the northern counties and accord ing to the present plans, will make only a brief visit.
 4 victory in the presidential pref erence is sought particularly by the q 1ofa the right to name the six delegates at large to the national convention az cording to the call of the state com mittee.
 Republican voters will vote only for the candidates for delegates to the na- t,onal convention. The delegates at large will be named by the state con yention here June and 4. Both Rooss- vel and Taft candidates are in the field

VICTORY FOR TIE
 PHONE COMPANY
Atlantans Who Complained of Rates Failed to Appear
 at Hearing

Atlanta, May 12-(Special.) .)-Atlanta's city council started an investigation of the electric lighting rates charged by the Georgia Railway and Electric company, appropriated money which was given to the railroad commission to make a thorough inquiry, and then ended in compromise with the com pany, through which the people will secure substantial reductions, though not as great as was first demanded.
 This concluded, council thought it must have a real investigation of some sort, so the next subject 1t lit upon was telephone rates. It was announced with a great flourish that people had complained of the telephone service and rates, and after much exploitation, day was set for the big" hearing be- fore a specially designated committee.
 The day-of the hearing came. Every body with complaints had been invited to come up, but nobody put in appear ance except the telephone officials, membefs of the commission and one or two city officials.
 Not a single complaint was made at the hearing. The city electrician, d disinterested witness, made the state ment that the Southern Bell Telephone company had one of the best service plants here he had ever seen, and he did not see how 1t could be bettered.
 President w. T. Gentry produced statistics to show that Atlanta has as low, and lower rates in many instances, than any city of the same population in the country. It was shown that large sums of money are being expended to improve the service, and that the numA Der of complaints from subscribers has been and is being materially reduced.
 This is the substance of what the committee got by advertising far and wide for complaints. There was noth- ing to do but call the investigation off, and this the committee did, the tele- phone company coming out with flying colors.
