A chain of automobile accidents in

stop reckless driving.

fining George S. Scott, who was driv-
ing an automobile that struck and in
jured Anna Flakenberg, fourteen years
old, $1,000
The charge was assault with

prosecution of automobile drivers.
County Prosecutor Waynan declared
his inten ion to take personal charge
of ali automobile accident cases thai
reach his Office. He declared himself
in favor of an amendment to the safe
law on speeding, making it a criminal
offense.
Mayor Harrison in a message to the
city council urged a revision Of the
city ordinances regulating the speed
of machines. He followed this with a
letter to Municipal Judge Olson, pro-
testing against the release Of speeders
by the city courts after merely nomi-
nal fines had been imposed.

Carries the State Over Taft
By a z to | Vote,
GOV. WILSON ALSO wins
President Has Carried Only TWO Dis
tricts In Hamilton County, His
Home.

Colonel Roosevelt has swept Ohio
| by a 2 to vote, according to returns
received so far. Unless later returns
show decided changes, the only dele
gates which President Taft will have
will be those from the two districts
in Hamilton county, his home, where
the Roosevelt people made no fight.
Roosevelt will carry Toledo by
about 300. He will carry the Ninth
district by about 1900. This will give
Roosevelt 80 out Of the AZ Ohio dele
gates.
In the Democratic contest Wilson
will carry the state over Governor
Harmon. He will carry Toledo and
the Ninth district by 5000. Wilson car
ried Hamilton county, Harmon's home,
by about 1000
So overwhelming is the lead of Col
oneI Roosevelt that it is likely he will
not only carry the nineteen districts
outside of Hamilton county, but also
control the state convention, which is
independently elected to the county
His friends will dictate
the six delegates-at-large
The Taft people centered their fight
upon getting this control, for the con-
vention will adopt a platform and in
struct six delegates-at-large to the Chi
cago convention.
Roosevelt has carried Cleveland by
more than ? to 1 over Taft. He also
carried Columbus and Toledo.
A cold wet spring has put the farm
ers weeks behind in their spring work |
and put them in a position where they |
had to take advantage of every fine |
lay. Consequently they remained in
he fields at work rather than driving
o voting places.
In most of the cities watchers de-
,lared that Republican voters out
numbered the Democrats. In Colum-
'us the proportion was as high as
to l.
This was caused. it was said, by the
unusual interest in the fight for the
republican presidential nomination
nd the unprecedented speaking tours
ust completed by President Taft and
,OlOnel Roosevelt.
