CLARK VIII receive additional strength by
reason OF the Massachusetts primaries is
a matter OF much debate.
In giving Massachusetts presidential
preference primary, the legislature failed
TO make any provision for circle voting
by groups. On the republican ballot
there are three sets OF delegates, eight
for Roosevelt, eight for Taft and one
candidate also pledged to Taft. La Fol-
lette. Roosevelt and Taft appear in the
presidential preference column.
There are sets OF Roosevelt and Taft
delegates in each OF the fourteen congress
sional districts, except the First. where
the Roosevelt candidates will run on
stickers. Republican voters must mark
eight delegates-at-iarge, two district del
egates and for one OF the presidential
candidates.

Governor Wilson, while four are without
pledges. At least three Of the democratic
candidates for delegates at-large who are
pledged to Governor Foss, seem certain Of
election, and 1t is notable fact that al
though Governor Wilson might win the
presidential preference, he could obtain
but one delegates-at-large.
In four Of the fourteen congressional
districts only two delegates are named
and are therefore sure OF election. or
these three are pledged to Foss and II is
generally expected that majority OF the
