advisory and direct primary elections
Tuesday, as Indicated by sufficient re-
turns to warrant a prediction, are as
follows:
For president, Theodore Roosevelt,
republican; Champ Clark, democrat.
For United States senator, L. Y. Sher
man, republican; James Hamilton Lew
is, democrat (uncontested).
For governor, Charles S. Deneen, re-
publican; Edward F. Dunno, democrat.
Roosevelt's manager claims his ma
jority over Taft as from 100000 to $780,,
600. Returns indicate his vote was
nearly to 2 for Taft.
Presidential delegates were not nam
ed on the ballots and will be elected by
congressional districts at large, the eff
feet of Tuesdays vote being only to
serve as a guide to party officials as in
dicating party feeling.
Sherman's Lead Small.
Sherman IS lead over Cullom for the
advisory vote for senator was small.
Deneen IS chief fight was against Sub
bcu Diudily lClSllVu " III bhV
campaign as a candidate of Senator
Lorimer.
Deneen won from the sub-treasurer,
about to 3.
DUNES Majority Dwindling.
The democratic contest for governor
offered more opportunity for conjecture.
At midnight, Dunno had an indicated
majority of 1000 in Cook county, but
Altschuler, his nearest competitor, APP
peared to be running so well in the
state that conservative estimates of
DUNES majority were from 10000 to
10000 in the state.
Congressional returns were delayed.
Cook county voters appeared to favor
B. M. Chiperfeld and William f. Ma
son for the republican nomination for
congress at large, and Lawrence String
er and James p. Bennan or William E.
Williams for the democratic nomination.
Chicago voters voted 2 to 1 against
woman suffrage in the presidential prim-
aries. The question was not on ballots
outside of this city.
Roosevelt Wins in Hostile's Homes.
Roosevelt IS victory was not a respect
er of territory. He carried the home
ward of Congressman William B. Nc
Kinley, Taft IS campaign manager, in
Champaign; he was successful in the
Seventeenth congressional district,
where Colonel Frank L. Smith, the
Taft state manager, lives, and in Joseph
G.. Cannon s home, Danville, Roosevelt
polled 1914 to Taft IS 1927. Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin holds small vote.
In Cook county, where it appeared
heaviest, the Wisconsin senator had an
apparent vote of 14,44O, where Roose-
Welt apparent vote was SS,1444, and
that of Taft $4,000.
Analysis of the Vote.
While Colonel Roosevelt's lead in
Cook county was on a basis of approx
mately eight to five over Taft, returns
from down state indicated he ran
stronger there, in places as high as five
to one, bringing the estimated average
to five to two.
Champ Clark s candidacy met just
the opposite result. In Chicago his
apparent majority, based on more than
three-fourths of the total number of
precincts, was above 10000, or a pro-
portion of about four to one for Will
son. In the state precincts his lead
was in proportion of about eight to
five, bringing the general proportion as
indicated in returns at midnight at
about two to one.
Later Returns.
Chicago complete re-
turns from the city of Chicago, and es-
Inmates based on returns from about
one-half of the state vote outside of
Chicago early Wednesday, show the fol
lowing total in Tuesdays preferential
primary.
For neutrality-suspicious.: Roose-
welt, $4,000; Taft, $4,000; La Fol
lettte, 1000.
Democrats: Clark, $4,000; Wilson,
79,50O.
New York Endorses Taft.
Rochester, n. New York state Is
} delegates at large to the republican
} national convention will not be Gin
: strueted' to vote for the denomination
of President Taft. Instead, the com
mittee on resolutions of the republican
state convention voted almost unani
mously to report a resolution to the
convention tomorrow favoring his re
nomination and urging the entire state
delegation to carry out the party Z
choice.
