TAFT BEATS ROOSEVELT.

New York, March 26.-The Taft del
egation to the national republican con-
vention to be held in Chicago in June,
were elected in the primary election in
this state today by vote averaging 3
to for the Roosevelt delegates.
The effect of the new primary law
during its first test today demonstrated
the fact that the party in power can
pprpetuate its control of the city or
state government indefinitely.
The first test of the new law resulted
in complete fiasco, due either TO de-
sign or inefiiciency on the part of the
board of elections.
The republican county committee of
Brooklyn communicated with Gov. Dix
today over the long distance telephone
acquainting him with the conditions
at the primary polling places and ask
ing him to declare the election invalid
and order another election for next
tuesday.
Shortly before midnight it was report
ed that Gov. Dix had decided to COM
ply with the request of the Brooklyn
leaders and had ordered another prima-
ry election TO take place next Tuesday,

HITCHCOCK ON BRYAN.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska today issued Il
statement replying to the declaration
of William Jennings Bryan that il
Governor Harmon were Endorsed by
the Nebraska primaries he will not 60
to the Baltimore convention as a del
egate. Senator Hitchcock character
lied the Bryan statement as an at
tempt at dictatorship, which Nebraska
voters would not tolerate.n He added
that while Harmon was his personal
choice, he would vote for any candi-
date Endorsed by Nebraska democrats
Commenting upon Mr., Bryan's OPP
position to Governor Harmon, Mr..
Hitchcock said:
1.-THE assertion made by Mr.. Bryan
that Harmon has the support of wall
street is utterly without proof or foun-
dation so far as / know. When Mr..
Bryan is opposed to man, he first
assumes and then asserts, that Wall
street is for the man. Certainly Wall
street has no reason to be for Harmon.
AS governor Of Ohio, Hartman has
shifted three million dollars of taxes a
year off the people onto the railroads,
which are largely owned by Wall
street interests"

WHY HOOPER'S MAN
QUIT SO SUDDENLY.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 29.-
From a reliable source news came to
the city today to the effect that a real.
ly sensational episode preceded the
sudden resignation of Silas Anderson,
who was until yesterday Warden of
the Brusy Mountain branch of the
state penitentiary.
1t is said that last Wednesday War
den Anderson went TO the home of
Prof. r. A. Hunnicut, near Wartbury,
being in a state of alleged intoXica-
ton. Prof. Hunnicut, it is said, took
Anderson in and cared for him over
night The story goes that the next
morning Anderson offered an insult to
a young daughter of Prof. Hunnicut,
who promptly reported the matter to
her father. Prof Hunnicut went TO
Anderson with the matter and, il is
said, ascertained the facts from him,
whereupon the enraged father admin
istered most severe beating, almost
killing the Warden.
1t is stated that had not a brother
in-law of Prof. Hunnicut interierred,
Anderson probably would have been
killed Following this, Anderson went
to Wartbury, again, became intoXi-
Gated, it Is alleged, and laid down in
livery stable to sleep.
The resignation of the warden was
rendered Friday and no intimation
was given out as to the cause of the
sudden change.

CAUSE and REMEDY.

Uncertainty of the immediate
future is looked upon by many men
of affairs, as blockade to enter
prise and business prosperity, and
this blockade is now quite apparent
throughout the channels of trade.
The Presidential Election; the
efforts of Congress with no fixed
purpose; Organized Labor as a new
factor in politics; together with
other matters of greater or less
import, represent at this time a
chaotic conflict of separate inter
ests, to harmonic which is now the
problem before the country.
All want Prosperity, Peace and
Plenty. Read with care the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, a journal that
prints all the news each day from
every commercial center through
out the world. A barometer Of
causes and effects that points out,

the safeguard therefrom.

quirer is the largest in size and
