Elscted-Tables Tell the Story-The
States In Which Delegates Are Vet
to Be Chosen.
Theodore Roosevelt has already lost
all chance Of denomination for a third
term by the Republican national con-
yention at Chicago In June. On Satur.
day night. May 4. he needed 81 dele
gates to control the convention, and on
that day only $40 delegates remained
to be chosen The 744 delegates al
ready elected are instructed for or
pledged to President Taft. Colonel
Roosevelt and Senator's La Toilette
and Cummins. and Of this number
President Taft has almost two-thirds
for his denomination.
The plain defeat of Colonel Roosevelt
in Massachusetts practically took him
out Of the race. and the action of the
Thirteenth Missouri district In sending
to Chicago delegates pledged to Taft
proved his unlucky undoing. In Mas.
sachusetts the contest was fought un-
der a presidential preference primary
law which had Mr.. Roosevelt's COM
piete approval. The issues raised were
issues squarely between President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt themselves, and
the vote showed this result:
President Taft carried the p%residen
tial preference primary by 1900 plural
ity and had an actual majority over
both Colonel Roosevelt and Senator La
Toilette.
The president carried nine Of the
fourteen congressional districts In the
state.
The Taft alternate ticket was elected
by q plurality as large as the presi.
dents on the preference vote.
The Taft delegate ticket was defeat
ed through a technical error on the
part Of the voters. who were confused
by the presence of an Independent Taft
candidate on the ticket This fact
caused more than $4,000 voters to vote
for nine instead Of eight Taft dele
gates at large. thereby invalidating
their ballots. although their preference
was plainly shown. In recognition of
this fact Colonel Roosevelt himself
has waived his claim to these dele
gates.
Taft's Widespread Support.
The overwhelming victory Of the
president has been hailed by Republic
ans everywhere as the end Of the fight.
and his denomination Is now conceded.
The president will verify the claims
Of his campaign managers made early
in the contest in that he will have a
majority of the delegates 1t Chicago
from the north, south. east and west.
The president has already carried the
r%ockribbed Republican states Of New
Hampshire. Vermont. Massachusetts.
Connecticut. Rhode Island. New York,
Delaware. Indiana. Michigan. Ken
lucky, Iowa. Colorado and Nevada.
The Republican states yet to be heard
from include New Jersey, Ohio, Min
nesota and most Of the mountain and
Pacific states. all Of which are lean
ing to the presidents support
The figures to date. showing the ut

Of President Taft, is contained in the

funds and have done so except that [
have found it desirable to retain for a
while personal distribution of my United
States military telegraph corps pensions
and Pennsylvania railroad pensions to
pittsburg division men and their widows
because my old boys would dislike the
change and so no doubt would others
upon my pension list.
"But the New York corporation has
been made my residuary legatee and all
surplus left after meeting the provisions

In explaining his pension plan, Mr..
Carnegie cited the cases of three former

CLAN GORDON MOVES.
Secures Hall in Bolster Block for Its
Headquarters.

Clan Gordon, No. Il, Order OF Scottish
Clans, has secured lease of the hall
in the Bolster building, which has been
for the past six years under the super
vision OF the local camp of the Modern
Woodmen of America, and in the future
the hall will be designated the Clan
Gordon hall A short time ago the
Woodmen received notification that they
would be obliged to abandon rights to
the hail. owing to property clause that
had been inserted in their constitution
at the last national encampment.
For several years Clan Gordon has
been using the Knights of Columbus hall
for order meetings and assemblages, and
as its offices are now in the Bolster
building. it was thought advisable to
lease the hall The committee in charge
of the hall is composed of the trustees,
John II. Mcdonald, acting as chairman,
Joseph Graham and Charles Leslie. This
committee intends to rent the hall for
orders desiring such rooms for assent
blies and will permit the hall to be used
for banquets and dancing as in the past.
The Woodmen hall has an excellent
dancing floor, and there is possibility
that alterations may be made.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS.
Some of the Things Which the Civic
Federation Has Accomplished.

At this Thanksgiving season, the la.
dies of the civic federation have been
gratefully recalling a few of the things
which they have been fortunate enougi
TO contribute to the welfare and
provement of our city. They recall =
much pleasure the change they v -
to effect in our common severa. - 4rs
ago. They found, it region OF lamps
and hollows, of tangled weeds, OF brush
and untrimmed trees, and after an ex-
penditure of more than a thousand dol
lars, they left il well leraded, with green
trees, which they have ever since cared
for, with n fountain in the center, radl-
ating concrete walks. the trees carefully
trimmed and in their shade many COM
Portable seats, where strangers may wait
in pleasant surroundings.
The sewing school, which was first
held in the emergency room and later in
the basement of the Mathewson building
has always seemed most beneficent
work, and two years ago the federation
decided TO extend its benefits by intro
ducing sewing into two grades of the
public schools throughout the city. This
was done at the solicitation Of Prof.
Mathewson.
The ladies were also glad to remember
that they were the first in Vermont to
establish a playground, with a specially
trained teacher from the Boston normal
school in charge and an equipment OF
the best apparatus procurable. Ihey
also feel proud of the good work done
in the evening school, which they MAIN
tained until the evening drawing school
was started. They also recall that Il
was their federation which beautiticd
many little spots about the city, which
contributed largely to the boys club
while it was with us, equipped the chcm-
istry department in Spaulding high
school, graded Currier park. provided the
expensive portrait OF Leonard 7. Aldrich
for the library, contributed generously
to hospital work and many other things,
some OF which are small Individually,
but aggregate large.
The federation is now working to
carry ON the good things begun, one OF
which is the making. OF a pretty park
at EImwood. where mown walks We're
kept open this summer, trees and shrubs
were planted seats placed and three ar
bors are now in process OF erection,
which will add TO the attractiveness Of
the park next summer.
Do these things seem to you also a
cause for thankfuness, and are you will
ing to express this by contributing to
the "tag- sale" on Saturday of this week !?
So many splendid things could be done
ii each citizen would make an offering
at that time. Should there be anyone
who would like to make contribution
a thankoffering and prefers not to be
tagged they can telephone their will
inpness to Mrs. Charles Wishart or Mrs.
w. Il. Shepard. and it will be promptly
and most gratefully received.

Charles Somers, Young deer hunter

the woods and mountains in search oi
Somers and business here was practical
" suspended to allow all who would to
join the search.
The cause of death could not be de-
terinined by the men who found the
body, but they thought that Somers had
fallen over prccipice and broken his
neck.
The circumstances surrounding som.
cr's death are peculiar in that it oc-
CURED only short distance from the
village and probably in broad daylight.
II is also strange that the body was not
found sooner as hunters have passed
within q few feet of it. Edward Scully,
who found the body, states that he was
within 20 feet of the place Monday
night.

party was composed OF Horace Solway,
Gilbert Vaughan. Edward Delaney and
James Wilson. They had been in camp
several days.
Somers left their camp at seven
o'clock Saturday morning to return to
Arlington and that was the last seen of
him alive. His mother was not worried
as she supposed he had remained at the
camp longer than be had intended.
The rest of the party glme home sun
day evening. but supposing Somers had
returned the day before made no inquiry
and ii was noon Monday before it was
discovered that he was missing.
Parties Immediately started in search
but the snow on the mountain made
travel difficult and had covered all tracks
and signs so that searching at night
availed nothing.
The Young mans rifle was not found

nearby covered with snow II is sup
posed that he was hunting ON his way
home.
The deceased is the son of Mrs. Mary
Somers of School street. He leaves a
twin sister and another sister. Margaret,
