conceive how Roosevelt could Justify
his acceptance of the support of these
eight delegates when they were
elected through some freak of the -pri-
mary law, and could not carry out the
expressed will of the people II they
supported Roosevelt In the Chicago
convention. >s-
Col. Roosevelt took the proper
course in frenouncing his claim to
these delegates. .-
The statewide preferential presi-
Dental vote cannot bind the district
delegates. Each congressional district
selects it's own delegates without In
reference from the voters of any
other part of the state. The statewide
primary vote, however, does, or should
bind the delegates-at-large to support
the candidate shown to be the choice
of the people by receiving the majority
vote In Illinois and Pennsylvania, for
instance, Roosevelt won the prefcren-
tial vote and no contest was offered
by the Taft forces against instrucLing
the delegates-at-large to vote for
Roosevelt.

says q writer in the National Maya
zine, us the congestion of the large
cities and the drift from the farms
and the small towns to the great CEN
ter Of population, and the evils which
have arisen because of this conges-
ton are very serious and very diff
cult to solve. The retailer In the
small town and village as rule is an
independent, economical and level
headed American citizen. It Is GER
tainH a good deal better for the
country at large that he should con-
tinue as such than that he should be
forced to seek employment in the
large cities and become mere clerk
in the huge department stores and IN
the catalog or mail order houses. In
the long run the farmer would not be
greatly benefited, for at present the
retailer is the principal buyer and
distributor of the produce of the
farmer. All the varied products OF
the farm in general way are handled
nv the retailer for the farmer in re-
tlrn for supplies which the farmer
needs. and are by the retailer ship
ned TO the large towns. The farmer
would find it very difficult to market
4 very large part of. his produce with
out the help of the small dealer in the
small towns. Besides, in time of dis
tress and Of poor crops, the retail deal

Il him credit and furnishes him the
necessary material for working his
farm, and In fact is an indispensable
aid to the farmer in all his farm
carnations. u.

A TAFT VICTORY.

President Taft and the friends of
the administration have every reason
10 feel gratified at the result of the
Massachusetts, primary. President
Taft polled the largest vote in the pri-
mary, receiving more votes than
Roosevelt and LaFollette combined.
Taft won In nine of the fourteen dis
tricts, securing eighteen district dele
gates to Roosevelt's ten. He scored
the highest popular vote in the state
and won in the majority of the dis
tricts, clearly showing that he is the
choice of the people of MASSACHUSETTS
as the presidential candidate.
The presidents victory is not
lessened by the fact that under an i'm
perfect primary law the Roosevelt
candidates for delegates at large
ROLLED larger vote than the Taft dele
cate ticket. Indeed. It is difficult to

DOES THE PRIMARY BIND?
Mr. pnouAvo1f large

Massachusetts, elected through the i'm
perfect provisions of a primary law
which does not bind the delegates cleo
ted 10 support the candidate Iece1v-
inn the majority vote of the state, now
declare that they will disregard Mr..
Roosevelt's request that they support
President TAFT Charles s. Baxter,
who lead the Roosevelt ticket, says ne
was elected as a Roosevelt man and
expects to continue as a Roosevelt sup
porter" Two other delegates declared
they would absolutely refuse to abide
by any such request" The other DELE
gates take a similar view. Chairman
Mckinley of the Taft campaign com
mittee declares the defeat of the Tart
delegate ticket was due to 10000 IN
validated ballots cast for nine, Instead
of eight Taft delegates, situation
arising, from the presence of the name
OF an independent Taft candidate for
delegate on the ballot. Mr.. Mckinley
asserts that Taft won clean cut VIC
tory and is clearly entitled to the sup
port OF these eight delegates.
The Chicago Record-Herald, which
has maintained neutral attitude IN
the presidential campaign, shares this
view:
.If," it says, "the advisory primary
does not bind in one place, it does not
bind anywhere. That many Taft sup
porters blundered in voting for nine In
stead OF only eight delegates at large,
thus unfortunately invalidating their
ballots, ID an acknowledged fact; the
moral weight Of these ballots goes, Of
course, to Taft" 49,
The Burlington Hawk-Eye sees no
other course for the Massachusetts
delegates-at.large than to obey the IN
structions of the voters in the prefer
entail primary. II they disregard the
primary vote, the Hawk-Eye believes
they will endanger the welfare OF Mr..
Roosevelt IN Illinois, where the prefer
entail votes have instructed Taft dele
rates to vote for Roosevelt. I'm that
state" the Hawk-Eye says, many Of
the district delegates were selected by
the regular party organizations and
are Taft men. But under the presi.
Dental preferential vote, which went
tor Roosevelt in those districts, the
regular republican organization an
nounced that all the delegates would
vote for Roosevelt in obedience to the
mandate Of the voters. Should the
Massachusetts delegates-at-large refuse
% carry out tho wish Of the repub-
lfcans OF that state, expressed In the
preferential primary, 1t Is not at all
unlikely that the Illinois delegates will
feel absolved from following the ex-
pressed wishes Of the republican
voters In that state. This would give
Taft many more votes than he would
lose through the Reputation OF the
agreement In Massachusetts"
