ton with more votes than any other
candidate. Governor Wilson's conven-
ton strength is now represented by
1858 delegates. Speaker Champ Clark,
who is next in the race, has 276 votes
to his credit. 1t is certain that Gov
ernor Wilson will have practically all
of the "a North Carolina delegates as
the result of the action of the county
conventions already held and none of
this strength is accredited to him in
the above figures, which minimize
rather than magnify his convention
vote.
| OF course the great primary victory
scored by Governor Wilson in his own
state was most pleasing to his friends.
1t was essentially a triumph for pro-
gressive Democracy. The fight against
him there was in the name of no can
didate,an was conducted and financed
by notorious boss, who was flayed
by former President Cleveland and
whose opposition is regarded by right
thinking Democrats everywhere as a
badge of honor.
Commenting on the verdict of the
Democrats of New Jersey, who stood
by him as against the bosses, Cover
nor Wilson said, in a statement issued
by him at Trenton:
81 never doubted the result, but
am none the less delighted and crate
full that the Democrats of the state
should have stood by me so generous
ly and with so unmistakable yer
dict. Their approval makes me very
happy because it is their judgmen
of the new regime in our politics il
New Jersey and means that the new
order is to be sustained with stead
fastness and enthusiasm. New Jerse
is permanently enrolled among tn
progressive states"
The following statement was issue
by Chairman E. E. Grosscup, of tn
New Jersey state committee:
Il "The result of the primaries mu!
be taken as a most emphatic endors
ment of Governor Wilson and the pr
gressive policies which he represent
and at the same time as a severe r
Duke to those who have attempted
divide the Democratic party in Il
state. Every effort that could
| made by the disgruntled office-seeke
who formed the backbone of the OPP
sition to the Governor, was used
bring out the vote against him so tn
the result may be accepted as sho
ing the full strength of the opposite
This vote, except in the two distric
of Essex, was absurdly small, in sol
| places not a ballot being cast again
Governor Wilson. There can no lor
er be doubt that Woodrow Wilson
the real leader of the Democratic p
ty in New Jersey"
Governor Wilson's success in
New Jersey primaries was Of swe
ing character, and was an endor
ment of his clean and progressive
ministration, was the comment of r
resentative William Hughes, of N
Jersey, who returned to Washingt
today. Our people will regret to l,
him as governor and as citizen,
they believe he can serve the nat
in higher capacity. and that he ,
be nominated and elected President

JUNE.

The waning of the sweet May moon
June's laughing face discloses,
Her apron filled with buttercups,
Her bosom red with roses.
The blossoms and the bursting bud
Are woven in her tresses,
Every breeze that fans her cheek
Is laden with caresses.
Perhaps you've seen little maid
With lips like ripened cherries
We're going down the meadow path
This afternoon for berries
III tell you more about the walk
Before the summer closes;
So fill a cup to laughing June,
And wreath the brim with roses.
The birds forsake the open plains
And seek the leafy covers
Some months were made for. married
life,
But June was meant for lovers.

CLUE IN TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
Poison Said to Have Been Found il
Bodies Of Murdered Persons.

NOWATA, Okla. March 5.-A new
clue was uncovered in Delaware's
triple tragedy today. when it. was
claimed by chemists that poison had
been found in the corpses of Harvey
Hurst and Miss Elsie Adams. who. with
Mrs. Hurst, were slain and their house
burned over them early in February.
At the hearing of L. c. Harkins. an
admirer OF Miss Adams. and accused OF
the murders, chemists told of finding
traces Of poison. Examination OF
Mrs. Hurst's body was futile, because
it had been so severely burned.
Early in February the bodies Of the
Hursts and Miss Adams were found
in the ruins Of their home at Delaware.
Harkins was arrested. He admitted
he had been at the Hurst home. on the
night Of the tragedy. but protested
his innocence, declaring he was to have
wed Miss Adams The hearing con-
tinues today.
