Taft, 159; Roosevelt. 9.

The national committee adjourned
early to-day after dis osing of the con-
tests in Mississippi Missouri and North
Carolina, with single exception in the
latter state. which went over, and the
total now stands 159 for Taft TO . for
Roosevelt AS il was not eX-ccted that
the Roosevelt contests would be taken
very seriously" there is really little sur
prise on the part of the Rooseveltites at
the outcome.
"Hc far were those primaries in
which Mr.. Roosevelt won affected BY
the fake contests which, according to
Roosevelt press agent, were got up for
psychological effect and in order that a
tabulation of delegate strength could be
put out that would show Roosevelt hold
ing a good hand in the gamer asked
national committeeman to-day. And IL
these primaries were so affected by the
avowed purpose of the Roosevelt politi-
cal managers, have they not been so
vitiated as to render worthless their re-
sults?"
OF course, there is IL disposition on
the part of the committee to reject dele
gates sele-t ted by such primaries, but IL
is suggested that Mr.. Roosevelt should
go little slow about charging anybody
with f. u. when his own leaders admit
that they tried TO perpetrate a whole
sale fraud on the American people.
Characteristic Of the methods of Mr..
Roosevet's managers is the case in Mis-
sissipi In all the campaign material
put out by Senator Dixon from Roose-
welt headquarters 1t has been categori-
cally asserted that Mr.. Roosevelt had
a majority OF more than 300 In the Mis-
sissipi State Convention. The evidence
in the contest showed Mr.. Roosevelt's
supporters cast twelve votes I'm a con-
vention of more than 200 delegates. But
then. as Mr. welliver showed. 1t was
necessary to distort the truth "in order
that tabulation OF delegate strength
could be put out that would show
Roosevelt holding a good hand I'm the
game"
1t is also characteristic of the Roose
Welt press agent NOih thdt tht tHai -
should be made that the national COM
mttee, by awarding to the Taft dele
gates from the 4th California District
seats in the convention, had repudiated
the preferential primary. OF course. 1t
did nothing Of the kind. The question
of primaries was not an issue. II was
merely a question of district versus
state representation. and the COMMITTEES
decided that. a majority of the Repub-
leans OF the district having voted for
the Taft delegates. they should not be
overruled by the state at large.
Convinced by Mr.. Tawney.

Baltimore. June 13.-Leadng women
cerity of Roosevelt in declaring for
woman suffrage.
Mrs William J Brown. Of the Equal
Suffrage League. says: Il do not sp-
prove of eleventh hour conversions. They
do not appeal to me. If Roosevelt is for
the suffragists at this late hour it is only
for the votes he thinks he can get by It,
He thinks he can fool the women, bur
he cannot. for they are not so easily
fooled. II he openly avowed himself for
suffrage he should have done so long
ago"
He is nothing but a faker." declares
Miss Ellen B. La Motto. Roosevelt is
merely after votes. He sees six good
suffrage states which would give him
million women's votes that are not to be
despised There is nothing sincere about
him. So that he gets the votes of the
suffrage states is all he cares about He
called suffrage an unimportant issue in
The Outlook and now he thinks he is
caught in forked stick, and there is
nothing sincere in his latest stand for
a suffrage plank"
Mrs. Donald Hooker. however. says
she believes the colonel is sincere in his
stand because he is now convinced that
women really want to vote.
Mrs. r. +. Foster declared Roosevelt
is merely coming out for votes for
women in order to win the suffrage
votes. "He has been nicely balanced on
the fence too long, as his suffrage ar
ticles in The Outlook showed, TO be
really a suffragist."

Virtually Confess Defeat by Circulating

LBy STAFF Correspondent Of The Tribune
Chicago, June 13-Ihe first Roosevelt
contestants who had the right on their
side appeared before the Republican Ma
tional Committee to-day and were seat
ed by the unanimous vote Of the commit
tee on motion Of Senator Penrose. Ihesa
were the four delegates -at-large from
Missouri. The Roosevelt delegates from
the 1st and 9th Missouri Districts were
also seated without division. The Tar.
delegates from the Sd, 9Th and 14th Dis
tricts were placed on the temporary roll
without division. The Missouri delegation
now stands twenty for Roosevelt AMI
sixteen for Taft.
Twelve Taft delegates from Mississippi
were added to the temporary roll to-day.
as was foreshadowed by the decision ia
the contests of the delegates-at-large
and in the 1st District yesterday.
Roosevelt managers are confessing de-
feat. They are talking Of compromise
candidate and spreading such ridiculous
stories as that Senator Crane favors the
nomination Of Senator Cummins. They
are also declaring there will be a bolt
of the Roosevelt delegates and that
Colonel Roosevelt will lead a rule-or-
ruin movement TO put Roosevelt electors
on the ballots of those states in which
he controls the organization. They are
giving other evidences that they feel
their situation is desperate, although
they continue to give out statement
that Roosevelt will be nominated on the
first ballot.

ing of Roosevelt delegates and leaders
this afternoon declared he would rather
be right han be successful" and closed
his speech with the declaration that tho
Roosevelttes would defeat President
Taft at whatever cost. Fortunately
even the rank and file of the Roosevelt
supporters have no such intention. Gov
ernor Stubbs also addressed the meeting
and predicted bolt from the Republicans
party, as did Judge Ben Lindsey, now
being exploited by some of the Roose-
Welt leaders as a fit candidate for Vice
President on the ticket with Mr.. Roose-

the Southern white cedar. Swamp

per trees. The water. OF the. juniper
swamp contains a remarkably small
quantity of mineral matter and has

markings looking like the stones and

cludes that all shining, silvery fish
are mirrors. rejecting the dark bot
tom of the pond, and it is only when
such fish come to the surface that the
light shines on them. and they become
visible to the big fish that they prey
on little fish. So long as the little,
silYery fish stay close to the bottom
they look like mud and stones, only
showing their shining silver when
they come ear the top and so are
soon swallowed down.
