KANSAS CITY. MO, May 2e.-F'ed-
eral legislation looking TO the curbing
of wheat speculation probably will be
recommended by the members Of the
Millers National federation, which be
gan three days conference today. 1t
is the desire of the millers to stop the
selling of wheat by men who have no
wheat to deliver, and the buying of
wheat by men who could not accept 1t
if it was offered for delivery.
Another important matter to be taken
up by the millers is the cost of produc-

COLONEL MAKES
CLEAN SWEEP
IN JERSEY
Taft Fails to Win Any of 28
Delegates Woodrow VIII
son Loses Only Four.

TRENTON. \. j., May 29,-Returns
from New jerseys first presidential
preference primaries showed today that
Theodore Roosevelt had overwhelm-
ingly defeated President Taft in their
battle for the state delegation to the
Republican national convention.
Colonel Roosevelts victory was one of
the most crushing blows he has dealt
the president since they began their
contest to win state delegations through
speech making tours.
As the count continued today, the
returns Indicated that Roosevelt had
@-&on the complete state delegation,
consisting of four large
and "a district delegates Earlier in
the day it looked as if Taft would save
four delegates.
Roosevelts plurality over President
Taft and Senator LaFollette, estimated
from the returns at hand viii be be-
tween 5000 and 10000 when the count
is complete.
ON the Democratic side Governor
Wuson-uas an easy victor winning "a
of the IS delegates. He had apparent
Iv lost two districts in Essex county,
where he was bitterly fought by eX-
State Chairman Nugent, who wanted
the state delegation uninstructed. Re
turns from the Democratic balloting
indicated that Wilson would have a
majority of at least 10000.
Great Surprise to Politicians.
The result Of the Republican prima-
ries was one of the greatest surprises
that the old politicians have ever
received in New jersey. The conf
dent prediction of United states Sen
ator r. o. Briggs Republican state
leader that Taft would sweep the state
was made after careful canvass.
The labor vote was the greatest as
set Of the ex- president in his victory.
The first returns received after the
primaries closed were from the silk
stocking" districts, where the voting
had been completed carly. These were
favorable to Taft but when the re
turns came from districts where fac
tory hands and other workers had
voted after their days toll, It was ap-
parent that Roosevelt would make a
big sweep.
President Taft was expected to poll
heavily in southern New Jersey but
.. Roosevelt captured the First district
by large majority.
