slugged them over the ropes" That
was Colonel Roosevelt's comment
today on his victory In the Illinois
primaries yesterday. The colonel
was In high spirits over tho news
from Chicago.

Rosevelt's tour thru Pennsylvania
was at jeanette.
'T want to see Pennsylvania do
on Saturday what Illinois did yes
terday and declare for the people

Washington. April 10.-"The re-
suit In Illinois was not unexpected
to those familiar with the situa-
tion." said Representative William
B. Mckinley, director Of the ma
tional Taft bureau today in the
first comment from the presidents
side on the Illinois primary
"The Issues which occupied the
attention of the people Of the state
were so peculiarly local as to cause
the presidential issue to be lost
sight Of 50 far as President Taft
was concerned"
It say advisedly," Mr.. Mckinley
continued, "and for this reason:
"Mr. Roosevelt recently invaded
the state an1 devoted the major
portion Of his addresses to subjects
which had n relation whatever for
the most part TO the issues on
which tho republican party must
meet the democratic party In No
vember. The questions discussed
4 by Mr.. Roosevelt in his speeches
had little to do with the actual
issues which he has raised between
himself ana Mr.. Taft.
ssIn other words. Mr. Roosevelt
anticipated In The campaign In
illinois with all the freedom Of a
fts1i.1iedEed citizen of the state and
met. and talked to voters of Illinois
on the subjects which were upper
most in their m.nds-namely, state
Issues"
The participation OF eight candi-
dates for the republican nomina-
ton for governor resulted in the
complete breaking down of all
party organization" says McKin-
ley's statement, "and new align
ments were brought about"
"These new organizations Mr.
Roosevelt was able to reach by per-
sonal contact and experience which
President Taft could not enjoy
saws Director Mckinley. "The re-
suit in Illinois fiasno bearing wnat-
ever ON the outcome Of the presi-
DENTAL contest in tie republican
party except insofar as 1t expresses
the desires Of 1':r ois based On pure
IL local Issues.
