McGraws pitching problem begins on opening day

Stahls troubles this respect will not begin until
he has worked Wood and Collins There will be some
thing to ponder then in regard to starting Wood
again with one days inserting Bedient, oBrien

is scheduled for Boston.

Boston. May 1. - Massachusetts
emerged today from her first presi-
dental preferential primary election
to find that the republican voters had
expressed preference for the re-
nomination of President Taft, but
notwithstanding this had given Theo-
dore Roosevelt half of the thirty-six
delegates to the national convention.
The democratic voters of the state
expressed preference for Spea ker
Clark. although Il majority of the
delegates to the Baltimore convention
will be pledged to Governor Foss.
Returns from 1867 out of 1850
election precincts give the republi-
cans the following results:
LaFOllette 1,756: Roosevelt 71,2OS;
Taft 74.sOS.
Delegates at large: Baxter (head-
ing the Roosevelt group) 74,121;
876.
Democratic presidential prefer
ence): Clark 19.903: Wilson 9,206.
Delegates at large: Coughlin
(pledged to Governor Foss) 17,O5O;
Williams (for preference candidate)
l8.256.
Just how Massachusetts could send
an evenly divided delegation to Chi
cago while on the preference vote
President Taft has plurality of
$500 over Roosevelt is partly ex-
planned by the wording of the state
presidential preferential primary law
which was enacted two months ago.

have his vote recorded is compelled
10 mark each delegate-at- large of his
party. there being no circle for voting
by groups.
The law enabled hundreds of voters
to mark eight names in the delega-
t1on headed by c. S. Baxter and styled
for Roosevelt" and then express a
preference for Taft in another part
of the ballot.
Another incident which some say
may have had a bearing on the cleo
tion Of the Roosevelt delegation at
large with the Taft preferential, was
the sandwiching in of the name of
former State Senator Frank Seibert-
ich pledged for Taft" between the
Roosevelt and Taft groups. Seibert-
ich claimed today he was i'll treated
by the Taft managers and therefore
ran independently.
Reports from manv precincts show
that hundreds of ballots were thrown
out because the voters invalidated
their ballot by voting for nine instead d
OF eight names, beginning with Sci
hartich and going through the entire
regular Taft column of eight names.
The space between the name Of Sci
bertich and the Taft group was slight
Every one of the eighteen Taft
delegates is pledged to Taft" while
all of the eighteen Roosevelt dele
gates are for Roosevelt.
The delegation to the national re-
publican convention, under the pres
ent scheme will be twenty-six for Taft
and ten for Roosevelt.
