TAFT STAYS ON TOP
Roots Ruling on Contested DeleEa-
tiDns Particularly Prejudicial to
RooSeyeIt

Convention Hall. Chicago. Ill. jane
22-Taft's side scored again ye<ter-
day afternoon when. with the Alabama
contest before the convention. ana
with q roll call demanded by Hadley
TO determine whether the convention
should allow any delegates whose
place Is contested. 10 vote on contests.
Chairman Root ruled. as two days
ago. that only those delegates imme-
liately concerned should be debarred
from voting. In the case before the
convention only the two delegates
from the ninth Ala ia ma district were
lcbarred from voting on the accept
ance Of the committees findings.
Credentials Committee Far Behind
Wearied by its long vigil. the ere
| lcntills committee. which had worked
| throu ghOut the night. making slow
progress, went on with the six in the
morning. AT 6 o'clock but fourteen of
| the seventy-twO contested delegates
considered vital by Governor Hliley
| and other Roosevelt leaders in the ap-
| peal from the decisions of the national
| committee. All Of that number, to-
| rytatr with some twenty that the ere
| dentials committee took up on its own
| initiative. were settled in favor of
| President Taft. At 9 o'clock the con-
| test in the seventh Kentucky congress
sional district was settled, two dele
gates being awarded to Taft.
Taft Wins California Contest
| There has been some bitterness over
| the two delegates given Taft from the
| fourth California district than any
! other contest. For an hour and a half
| ~ of
California to instruct for Roosevelt by
| statewide primary majority the Taft
delegates elected in the fourth district.
The Roosevelt men contended that a
state law is superior to a party law
or rule. Their fight was based large
ly on the fact that as the statewide
primary declared for Roosevelt and
that all of the delegates elected should
be instructed for him, even though the
district went for Taft. When the mat
| ter was finally brought to a vote the
Taft men were seated by a vote of 2S
to 16
VIII Go Into Next Week
The prospect of the republican con-
vention extending into next week has
become so imminent from the proceed
inGS thus far that the committee OF
arrangements yesterday took steps &c
hold the Coliseum for such an emer-
gency.
Odds Are in Taft's Favor
There has come a decided slump in
betting on the result of the convention
Although some bets are still being
made at even money, the ruling odd:
are that President Taft will win tn,
nomination. Some Roosevelt hackers
however, are asking 3 to l and 1 to
on their money.
The favorte betting proposition nov
: is on the prospect of bolt. On tn,
. board of trade there are still man,
who believe Roosevelt will be success
: full. There are, however, more of tn
opposite faith.

choice, the vote received for sec
ond choice and third choice. This

TRANSPORTATION Necessary.

Washington, March IA tragic and
unusual incident OF the floods In the
South was learned here tonight when

bles were reported.

body OF Mrs. Norah A. Eanes, from Bur-
lington, y. c.. TO Danville, was held up

in North Carolina. AS It was not safe
TO run train across the newly built

The heavy rains and high winds which
have wrought damage in the South have
subsided, and generally fair weather In
the disturbed section is promised during

crossing roundabout lines.

SAYS. viewed either from the standpoint
of young men and women or their pos
terity The marriages of persons under
twenty-five years old are apt to be the
best from every point of view. Stats

a general rule at the earlier age AS

those who challenge my statement to IN
spect the records Of the divorce courts.
THE average father holds the wrong

induce his son TO marry as soon as pos
