MANY DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTIONS TODAY
Michigan, Tennessee and South Caro-
lima Will Name Delegates to
Baltimore.

Chicago, May 15.-Democrats of
Michigan, Tennessee and South Caro-
lima meet in state and district conven-
tions today to elect delegates to Balti-
more. Clark and Wilson were expect
ed to battle at Bay City for Michigan's
twenty-four district delegates and six
delegates at large while faction ap-
parently favors an uninstructed dele
cation.
The fourteen district delegates and
four at large from South Carolina may
be uninstructed. It has been conceded
that the Wilson and Underwood fac
tions will be the strongest at the
Columbia convention.
With four presidential candidates in
the field and less than 20 per cent of
the 1851 delegates instructed, Ten
nessee's twenty-four delegates, wise
acres predicted, also will be unin-
structed. All the candidates will have
some representation on the delegation
it was said.
Republican conventions will be held
in eight Minnesota congressional dis
tricts today at each Of which two dele
gates to the national convention will
be elected. ...
The platform offers only features OF
the Mississippi democratic convention
today, the state primary having given
the twenty delegates to Underwood.

ROOSEVELT IS
EASY WINNER
IN CALIFORNIA
Colonel Defeats Taft by
Plurality, Carrying Every
County in the State;
Clark Downs Wilson.

San Francisco, May 15.-Delayed
returns from remote districts of yes
terday's state presidential preference
primary are useful only to determine
the exact pluralities rolled up by
Theodore Roosevelt and Champ Clark
over their opponents for the repub-
lican and democratic nomination.
Roosevelt's plurality is estimated at
between 10000 and $4,000 over Taft
and LaFollette. Champ Clark leads
Woodrow Wilson by probably 10000.
Throughout the state the vote was
comparatively light.
Roosevelt probably carried every
county. Even San Francisco, where
Determined effort was made by the
Taft managers to make good show
ing, favored the colonel by plurality
|of 3,437.
Senator LaFollette found consola-
ton only in San Diego county, which
returned him his only plurality. The
Industrial Workers of the World
troubles are said to have made senti-
ment for him there, the theory being
that the citizens resented an invest1ga-
ton ordered by Governor Johnson,
Roosevelt supporter. u.
Champ Clark's victory over Wood
row Wilson was sufficiently sweeping
to Justify the prediction claims OF his
campaign managers. He also probably
carried every county and defeated
Wilson by nearly 3 to 1. No organized
effort was made in behalf OF any
other democratic candidate.
The twenty-six delegates won by
Roosevelt and Clark are pledged to
give them full, answering support.

INQUIRIES FROM
CULVERT PEOPLE

Chancery Clerk ellis is receiving
inquiries every day from culvert
manufacturers all over the
country asking for specifications
and information concerning the
car load of culverts that the Board
of Supervisors of this county have de-
cided to purchase for use on the public
roads.
Bids are now being received by Mr..
ellis and the Board will let the con-
tract on May 9Th.
1t is probable that if the metal
culverts prove satisfactory a large
number will be bought. The question
has been up for long while as to
which class of culverts would be the
most practical. The concrete, wood
and metal were considered and it was
finally decided to purchase the latter.
