Say Wilson
Is Defeated

WASHINGTON, May with the
Woodrow Wilson, OF New Jersey. in the
preferential primaries throughout the
country. politicians here are agreed that
he is already a lopeessly beaten can
didate.
In Tennessee he was defeated yesterday
by an overwhelming majority In favor OF
Champ Clark. The Speaker of the House
won. the day and his supporters will or
ganize the State convention next Tues
day.
Wilson with the other candidates re-
ceived nothing more than scattering
votes. Even a combination of the Har-
mon, Underwood and Wilson forces, ac-
cording to the available returns, would
hardly suffice TO prevent Clark from talk
ing over most of Tennessees twenty
four votes in the national convention.
In the First district in East Tennessee
Clark swept over his rivals two to one.
In the Second and Third he ran well.
Only one county in Middle Tennessee
he lost, and that went to Harmon. The
Champ Clark men were amused at this,
because that county is named cheatham
The defeat of the Wilson men in Ten.
nessee is considered by the men here
who have their fingers on the political
pulse of the country as merely another
evidence of the crushing public disap-
proval of Wilson and wisconsin.
The Democratic presidential preferen-
tial primary viii be held in Mississippi
today. 1t is expected that the vote will
be very light and that 1t will not be
more than 30 per cent. of the party's
registered vote.
The only names on the official ballot
are those of Oscar Underwood and Wood
row Wilson. The farmers are busy
planting their belated crops and dis
play little interest in the outcome.

DALLAS. Tex. May 7.-Texas Demo.
Gratis and Republicans met in county
conventions today to take the second
step In indicating their choice among
Governor Wilson, Governor Harmon and
Champ Clark. and between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt as presi-
dental candidates. The first move was
made in Saturdays precinct convention.
The conventions are scheduled for at
least 243 out of 249 counties
Chief interest centers in the question
whether an attack will be made on the
apparent victory of Wilson in Saturdays
conventions. Campaign managers OF
Governor Harmon and Champ Clark do
not concede defeat and promise vigorous
contests.
The first county that reported today
was Wilbarger The two Democratic
delegates to the State convention were
instructed for Clark. The one Republi-
can delegate was instructed for Taft.
The Republicans are entitled to 252 votes
In their State convention, according to
Republican National Committeeman Cecil
Lyon. Numerous Texas counties are so
sparsely settled that the Democrats
sometimes poll only fifteen to twenty
votes at n general election, and the ex-
istencc of Republicans in such counties
is said TO be negligible. 1t Is probable
there Will be no Republican conventions;
