MARCHING
ON AND ON
CLAIMS ON FIRST BALLOT
Looks For Stampede From
Southern States
Baltimore Sum-

Roosevelt goes marching on. HIS
Minnesota victory is followed by i
clean sweep in California. The re-
turns indicate that he wins by more
than $4,000 in spite of the 10000 pro-
gressives who vote for La Toilette,
Taft even lost San Francisco, which
was regarded as certain for him.
Taft had hardly a corpiral's guard
in the North Carolina republican CON
vention, the administration not being
able to hold even its own officehold-
ers This is the first southern state
to go over to Roosevelt bodily. The
moral effect is worth more than the
twenty-four votes it brings.
Tennessee was held in lire only by
main force. But the foru delegates
at-large and most of the twenty dis
trict delegates are pledged to Taft.
Wyoming instructed for Taft, WITH
Hughes, not Roosevelt as second
choice. There was an unexpected
bareback" in Montana, where Tart
carried the county of Senator Dixon,
manager of the Roosevelt campaign.
Chairman Mckinley. with Tennes-
see, Wyoming and Montana, claims
more than 500 for Taft, but he in
cludes the solid southern contingent
and practically all the uninstructed
delegates, though Roosevelt is certain
to get some Of both. From the begin
ming, McKinley's policy has been to
claim everything" and now there IS
little confidence in his claims.
Chairman Dixon puts down All az
sure for Roosevelt with nearly 200
contests against Taft delegates. He
expects Roosevelt to sweep New Jer-
sey (2S), get at least half of Ohio
(24), and pick up 100 or more from
New York and other states not bound
by instructions and from the soutr.
Roosevelt has nearly as many unin-
structed delegates as Taft He is
sweeping state after state, while TAFT
is fighting desperately to hold his
own. The real contest narrows down
to Ohio. That is the battle ground. 4
Taft loses his own state he will be
wiped off the map

STOP Thief
CLARK AFTER THEIR Votes
Champs League In Keystone
State at Work

Washington, May 1S.-Charges that
a wholesale campaign of robbery is
being attempted by Speaker Clara
and his manager, former Senator Du-
Bots in the latters' activities to switch
Wilson delegates TO Clark, were made
by the Wilson headquarters in
bristling statement
The charges are the result of the
repeated claims by the Clark manage
ment that nearly a third of Pennsyl-
vanias delegation to the Baltimore
convention would vote for Speaker
Clark
The basis for attack by the Wilsno
management is letter written by G.
c. Ladner, leader of the Clark forces
in Pennsylvania, to Arthur r. John
son, of Bradford, Pa, a Wilson dele
gate to the Baltimore convention. In
this letter the Clark manager appeals
to the Wilson delegate to desert the
New Jersey executive and climb on
board the Clark bank wagon. MI.
Johnson resented the letter, indig-
nantly replied to Manager Ladner and
then mailed the original letter to Gov.
Wilson. In part the letter is as fol-
lows
Dear Mr. Johnson: The recent
decisive defeats of Governor Wilson
in Massachusetts, Florida and Geor-
ga have eliminated him from the
race. AS | notice that you are q
delegate to the Baltimore convention
| take the liberty of writing you in
behalf of the candidacy of Speaker
Champ Clark. | wish to ask you to
nledge yourself to vote for Speaker
Clark on the second ballot, if a second
ballot is necessary. Should there be
any personal reason which makes j..
inexpedient at this time for you 10
publicly announce your support !
will respect your wishes and refrain
from making your pledge public. Your
ledge, or support, if You so desire,
will be made known only to Speaker
Clark and his general campaign mana
ger Senator Dubois. Please let me
hear from you.
&c. c. LADNER.
President Champ Clark League OF
Pennsylvania
In his letter to Governor Wilson, Mr
Johnson characterized the Clark lead
er's activity as smacking of ward pol
itics, rather than of the deliberations
of the national convention of the
