The vote for Clark. the Democratic
candidate for President. Is the most nota-
BILE that has ever been given any candi-
didate under such circumstances The
First Precincts report told the story. II
was the Twenty-fonrth Precinct OF the
Twenty-third Ward, and Il gave Clark
forty-fouF votes TO thirteen for Wilson
After that the ratio never fell. but in
creased. and soon became four to one
When f7s precincts Of the 1,49l in Cook
County had reported the vote was.
Clark, se,25I; Wilson. 11.0oS When 5S3
precincts were in the vote was, Clark.
ASS: Wilson, 1S.Sii-virtually the fig-
ures OF the first precinct heard from,
multiplied by 100.
The Clark victory was spread all over
the city. except in the Hyde Park re-
gion. where the University Of Chicago Is
located. The returns not tabulated by
districts indicated the barest possibility
that the Princeton professor might get
the instructions for the Second Congress
sionai District. because OF the silk
stocking vote OF the Sixth and Seventh
wards. but the vote OF the Eighth and
Ninth wards will almost certainly over
come the Hyde Park lead Of the col
legian.
Dunno Carries Chicago.
In the Democratic contest for govern
or. the Sullivan forces threw all the
strength they could muster to Dnnne In
Chicago and helped him with his lead.
The former mayor also carried the dis
tricts that have been strong for him
heretofore-the stock yards. South Chi
cago. and spots on the West Side.
Down the state the contest seemed TO
be largely between Alschuler and cald-
well. and II may take the final official
count to tell who has won. In his home
town (Aurora) Alschuler was given a
strong vote Of confidence. He carried
1t by a total OF LOS to rs for Dunno
Mclean County furnished a sample Of
how the candidates are running down
State. Alschuler getting the plurality,
with a vote of 200 in round numbers
to 1,sOo for Caldwell and but 800 for
Dunno.
In the fight for control OF the county

and In his own precinct.
The Lorimer crowd, though virtually
thrown out OF the Cook County Repub-
lican organization. again managed, as
usual. to keep some OF their old wards.
The organizations Of the Tenth.
Eleventh. Fourteenth. Twentieth. and
Thirty-fourth Wards were conceded to
the Lorimer crowd by the committee
of 100 tonight.
Big Surprise 10 Paftites.
Roosevelfs defeat OF President Taft
was most decisive. The former Presi-
dent carried Chicago and Cook County
by 2o.o0o.i and the State by an estimated
plurality of 5000 Senator La Toilette
was third, but in many counties he ran
a close race to Taft The Roosevelt
organization. headed by Col Chauncey
Dewey. gave out a statement late to-
night that the former President had car
ried the State by 10000. and that while
the average proportion OF his vote to
that of President Taft was two and
half TO one. in places it had been as
high as five 20 one.
The Roosevelt strength was a big sur
prise TO the Taft following here. Roose-
welt carried Macon County, the largest
county in Representative McKinleys
district. and he probably carried both
the Mckinley and the Cannon districts.
In Peoria, the second city in the State.
the colonel's vote was three to one
Joliet. Moline, Decatur, and Rockford
also piled up large Roosevelt majorities.
Many of the large Republican counties
In the agricultural community Roose-
velt carried by three to one. and the La
Toilette vote almost equaleG that of
Taft No Congressional district. as far
as known. was carried by President Taft
The weather was ideal all over the State,
and the vote cast was the biggest ever
known in a primary.
