Veritable Landslide for the
Colonel Yesterday

La Toilette Carried Only One
County In State

San Francisco. May 15.--Returns to-
day from yesterdays state presidential
preference primary are useful only to
determine the exact pluralities rolled
up by Roosevelt and Clark over their
respective opponents for the repub-
lican and democratic nominations for
the presidency.
Rooseyelt's plurality is estimated al
between $4,000 and $4,000 over Taft
and LaF'ollette. Clark leads Wilson by
probably 10000.
Throughout the state the vote was
comparatively light. This is regarded
as surprising in view of the strenuous
campaign waged for the republican
preference and the keen interest thai
everywhere was manifested by huge
crowds drawn by the campaign ora
tors.
Roosevelt probably carried every
county. Even San Francisco, where
determined effort was made by the
Taft managers to make a good show
ing for their candidate. favored the
colonel by a plurality Of 3,4S7. Roose-
welt carried Los Angeles by more than
two to one.
LaFollette found consolation only in
San Diego county which returned him
his only plurality in any division OF
the state The Industrial workers oi
the world troubles there are said tc
have made sentiment for him in that
section, the theory being that the
citizens resented the investigation or
dered by Governor Johnson, a Roose-
velt supporter.
Clark's victory over Wilson was
sufficiently sweeping to justify the
prediction claims of his campaign
managers. He also probably carried
every county and when the vote IL
counted it is expected he viii be found
to have the lead on Wilson, by nearly
| three to one.
