N. JERSEY PRIMARY
WILL PRACTICALLY END APPEAL
FOR VOTES OF REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES.
COLONEL FINISHES TOUR
Taft Will Speak Until the End.-WiE
sons Friends Confident Governor
Will Win Full Dele
cation.

Newark, N. j., May 2S-The New
Jersey state primary election will
bring practically to close the specta
cular campaigns for the presidential
nomination that have resulted this
year from the adoption by several
states of preference laws. The South
Dakota primaries are still in the fu.
ture, but it is believed that the voting
in New Jersey will mark the end OF
the personal appeal for primary votes
that President Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt have voiced in many parts
OF the country.
This state will choose % delegates
to each national convention, four at
large and two each from the IL con.
gressional districts. Each district Sc.
lects its own delegates, but the dele.
gates at large are elected by the vote
of the whole state. The primary law
also permits voters to express a per.
sonal choice for presidential candi.
date, but this preference vote has no
direct bearing upon the delegation.
The delegates to be voted are to be
pledged to Taft, Roosevelt or La Fol.
lette on the, Republican ballots and
on the Democratic ballots for Wood.
row Wilson or marked "uninstructed.
The Democratic fight has been only
between Governor Wilson and his op.
ponents inside the state. The Repub-
lican candidates found no state issues
to aid them and have made their cam
paign largely on personal grounds.
Wilson Confident. .r- ..--.
Governor Wilson's friends declared
that he would win the full state dele
cation with the possible exception of
the members of the Newark district,
the stronghold Of the former United
States Senator Smith, whose re-elec.
tion the governor opposed.
Colonel Roosevelt closed his cam.
paign tour, but the president will
speak up to the hour of the opening
of the polls, making a tour of the farm.
ing and shore towns in the lower part
of the state.
Colonel Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft have
made more than so speeches since
they entered the state last Thursday
Dy duIO Iucy nave CONcIou
New Jersey until hardly any of its
100000 inhabitants has lacked a
chance to see them. Senator La Fol
lette has been in the state for the
last five days and has made nearly
a dozen speeches.
Governor Wilson has spoken three
times and has issued one address tc
the voters explaining why he did not
canvass the state, and attacking his
enemies.
Although the Democratic campaign
has been mild in comparison with the
rush Of the Republican workers, the
result Of the primaries is considered
of unusual importance, since it is
acknowledged that Governor Wilson's
chances at Baltimore would receive q
severe blow if he failed to get at least
good majority of the delegates from
his own state.

.cANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March %,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
~At the present moment eight ship
loads of European immigrants are
afloat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with us during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There is no such startling rec
ord of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be- 1t Is because Canada is
following in it's neighbor's footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which it's neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of $39,000,000, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits OF
$3S, 100000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find single road allot-
ting ten millions for work of its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
