The amount deducted represents the

With regard TO the deduction for
the abstract business, the officers
point to the decision in the case OF
Perry against Big Rapids, in which
abstract records are exempted from

ILLINOIS is HOLDING
PRIMARY ELECTION TODAY


r----------
stepped today in the opening sessions
OF the state convention the question
OF instructing New York's Big Four
for President Taft.
Today,s session of the convention
was devoted TO organization and
threshing out the pla.Sorm question.
The fight over instructions, which
has grown very bitter, was conduct
ed under the surface and, as much
as possible behind closed doors. The
fight on Roosevelt and his policies
was conducted In the open.
Previous 10 the meeting OF the
convention routine. While this was
going on the lieutenants of Vice-Pres-
ident Sherman were landing active
support TO Senator Root and the fed
eral ONCE holders who we're leading
the fight for an instructed delegation.
Advocates OF such action were GER
tain that State Chairman Barnes IN
tended TO yield gracefully and permit
unanimous instructions because or
his friendship for Sherman. who II Il
said has the promise OF the Taft lead
ers, that IL New York instructs for
the president they will support the
vice-president for denomination.
City Comptroller PGendergast, OF
New York, as next friend OF Roose-
Welt. expected TO oppose personally
certain planks OF the platform that
reflected on Roosevelt.
A driving snowstorm failed TO dam
pen the ardor or the delegates. but
II set back the program because dele
gates were held up by delayed trains.
Just before the convention met,
Senator Root said:
I'VE need only few more delegates
10 instruct, and We Will have them
shortly
