ROOSEVELT LANDSLIDE
BURItS PRESIDENT TAFT
IN CALIFORNIA PRIMARIES
Women Take Active Part in
Preferential Vote in
Golden State
CHAMP CLARK ALSO WINS
Roosevelt's Plurality Over Presi-
dent Is Estimated At
Least $4,000

SAN FRANCISCO, May l5.-Prao-
ucally complete returns from yester-
days statewide presidential prefer
ence primary today made II certain
that Col Roosevelt swept nearly eV-
erything before him and has defeated
President Taft In the contest for Cal
ifornia's delegates TO the national Re-
publican convention by at least 45,-
900 plurality. On the Democratic
ticket Speaker Clark overwhelmed
Woodrow Wilson, carrying the state
by a 2 TO l vote.
Col Roosevelt swept every congress
sional district in the state, excepting
the Fourth, in San Francisco. which.
on the face OF the returns, went for
Taft by i54 plurality. The friends OF
the president declare they did not
agree TO let the general result OF the
preference primary determine whether
Taft or Roosevelt should get the COM
plete California vote. They insist
that they will claim the delegates
from the Fourth district. and will take
the matter 10 the national convention
in Chicago. Roosevelts managers
say Taft carried the Fourth only be-
cause OF the predominance OF the
silk stocking" element In that dis
trict They jeer at the claim OF the
Taft men, insisting the states delega-
ton must go to Roosevelt as a whole.
Delayed returns from outlying dis
'ricts make exact figures impossible.
but II Is conceded that the Roosevelt
plurality over Taft will not be under
$4,000, while Roosevelt managers as
sert that II will reach $4,000, and that
the colonel may have majority over
the combined votes of Taft and La
Toilette.
he EaFollette men declare the Wis
consin senator carried San Diego and
San Joaquin counties, but the result
Is still doubtful.
The San Francisco result complete,
shows Roosevelt 1925; aft, 1858;
LaFollette, 6,340; Clark's 6,774; VIII
son, 1890.
Practically complete returns from
Los Angeles give Roosevelt 3l,5l4;
aft, 1858; LaFollette, 6,340: Clark,
$500: Wilson, 2,122. Roosevelt car
MED Los Angeles county by about
$4,000.
Returns were very slow in coming
in. but enough has been learned to
indicate that scarcely more than one
half the registered vote was cast. The
women took a keen interest In the
election. The mems vote was extreme
" light everywhere. 4N

Slight Increase Expected When All
School Children Report.

Supt. Alfred Nichols of the Osceo-
Ia township schools announces that the
total enpollment of all Of the schools
in the district yesterday was 1872
In some schools. among them the Tam
arack and Osceola schools and the
Dollar Bay high school, there was an
increased attendance, while in others
slight decreases were reported. En-
rolment figures for the first day of the
last term are not available, and it is
impossible to draw n comparison ex-
cept with the enrolment figures at the
close of the first month Of school last
year. Almost invariably the attend
ance increases during the first month,
and Supt. Nichols is hopeful that the
same will be the case this year, giving
the schools 4 bigger enrolment this
year than last.
One of the most gratifying features
of The enrolment this year is the fact
that the attendance at the Dollar Bay
high school was increased. The enroll
ment yesterday was 80, an increase of
from ten to fifteen over the highest
enrolment in other years. It is expect
ed the 100 mark will be crossed any
day The increases at Osceola and
ramaracll are also gratifying.
