TAFT ON FIRST
BALLOT, IS CLAIM
Director Mckinley Claims President
Has Enough Delegates to As
sure denomination.
OHIO, THEN NEW JERSEY

The pre-conventioA contest for delegate
to the Republican national convention
to be held at Chicago on June IS is prac-
| ticslly ended. A total of s7s delegates
have been selected. leaving only 100 more
to be chosen. Both President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt claim that they have a
suflcient number 70 insure their nomina-
ton. Director Mckinley, of the Taft
bureau, issued a statement last night,
claiming that President Taft will be re-
nominated at the Chicago convention on
the first ballot Mr. Taft has $50 dele
gates TO his credit. or twenty more than
enough TO nominate, according 10 Direc-
tor Mckinley. According TO reports re-
ceived by The Washington Herald, how
ever. President Taft's strength IL APP
proximately 500 delegates, or within
thirty-one of the number required to in
sure his nomination. Col. Roosevelt Is
reported to have 3e5. and needs 145 sddi-
tional to obtain his nomination.
Clark Leads Democrats.
The Democratic race, however, is not
so far advanced as the Republican con-
test. So far 7s4 delegates to the Balti-
more convention have been chosen, Ieav-
ing $50 TO be elected. Speaker Clark
considerably increased his lead over the
other Democratic candidates during the
last week. by his victories in California.
Iowa Wyoming, New Hampshire, and
New Mexico. Speaker Clark has "a
delegates. The other Democratic candi-
dates remained stationary in the last
week
Within the next few weeks the contest
between President Taft and Col Roose-
welt will be pushed with the full strength
Of their respective political managers
The most important political event OF
h. a.
be held in Ohio on Tuesday. when forty
eight delegates will be chosen.
Concede Harmon Victory.
The Republican race in Ohio has COM
pletely overshadowed the Democratic
contest because of the intense personal
bitterness manifested by President
Taft and Col. Roosevelt and because OF
the vital Importance Of the Ohio result
to their respective candidates.. The
Democratic delegates from Ohio are
conceded to Gov. Harmon. Speaker
Clark's name is not on the Ohio ballot,
and Gov. Wilson has made no active
fight in the Buckeye State.
Following the result in Ohio. the
politicians will turn their attention to
New Jersey, which will be the next
State to hold primaries. Both PresI-
dent Taft and Col Roosevelt will be-
gin campaigning in New Jersey as soon
as the Ohio contest is completed. Presi-
dent Taft will leave Washington next
Tuesday for New Jersey, and Will spend
three days speaking in different parts
of the State.
Taft Claims Texas.
The Texas State convention on May
IS, the Arizona State convention on
June 2, and the primaries in South Da-
kota on June 4, will complete the cleo
ton OF delegates.
Director Mckinley claims, in a state
ment issued yesterday, that President
Taft will control % Of the 40 delegates
from Texas
