Dayton. Ohio. May 15.--In the opinion
Of Theodore Roosevelt the campaign for
the Republican nomination for Prcsi-
dent has now been decided. He dictated
this statement Tonight:
The number Of delegates necessary to
nominate is $50. OF the delegates al
ready elected, without counting the con-
tested delegates, ! have more than five
hundred. OF the delegates yet to be
elected, ! am confident ! will receive
enough to insure my nomination on :he
first ballot.
Colonel Rooscvelts claim was basel
upon a table of delegates prepared by
his secretary. According to his calcula
tion there are nearly five hundred dele
gates already elected and instructed for
Roosevelt, without including any unir
structed or contested delegates.
Colonel Roosevelt said as he went over
the table that he was assured Of enough
votes from the total of uninstructed and
contested delegates to be able to stat,
that of the delegates already elected he
had more than five hundred. He re-
fcrred to several states in which he said
he would receive more votes than are in
Guided i'm the list of delegates now in
structed for him. The table. he added,
did not take into consideration the
chances of obtaining delegates from
Ohio or New Jersey.
4 new broom was tied 10 the rear plat
form of the Roosevelt special train to-
day.
In speaking in Kcnton Colonel Roose-
welt said.
OF uncontestcd delegates that have
been elected we now have considerable
mi ority over Mr.. Taft. On the present
showing it would be impossible to non'i-
nate him except by unfairly and i'm
properly seating delegates who have no
possible claim to sit in the convention.
Colonel Roosevelt began the second
day of his Ohio campaign in Elyria.
where ne made speech before break
fast and ended in Dayton tonight. He
delivered fifteen speeches during the day
to crowds Of large size.
In his speech in Bellevue Roosevelt
said.

EAST-ENDERS SEE
FIREWORKS DISPLAY

A large number of the residents of
the East End gathered on the hills
in and about Fort Kruger last night,
and took in the fire works from that
vantage point. Every bit of display
that went above the tops of the
houses from any part of the city could
be seen from there
The doings on Punchbowl were in
tensified through the fact that the East
Enders could look right into the GRAFT
er. The rockets that were fired from
the waterfront were quite clearly
seen and enjoyed. The burning of
the Kaimiloa was not seen at all from
that point, although there seemed to
be good view of the harbor, and a
good many people waited patiently
for the hulk's burning until nearly
ten o'c-ock, and then went home win
sort of semi-peevish feeling that
part of the program had been omitted.
Hundreds of bursting rockets were
thrown into the sky by the people
along the Kahala beach section, which
made beautiful display. One adyan-
tage that the East Enders had, was
that they could see, every piece of
fire works that was thrown into the
air in any other part of the city.

NO ACCIDENTS
MAR THE SPORTS

That no one was killed or injured
during the motorcycle races at Kapio-
land Park yesterday afternoon is
largely due to the fact that the COM
mittee had the firmness and good
sense TO call of the events for the
most powerful machines, on the
ground that the condition of the
track, and the largeness of the crowd
made 1t unsafe to hold them. "Bill"
Chiffon and Charles Chillingworth
took firm stand on this point.
HI. p Chiffon and H Phillips were
the only starters in the five mile race
for single sylinder machines. which
was won by the latter, leading all the
