ROOSEVELT SAYS HEIS AHEAD
PROMOTERS OF coLoNEL's BOON
ASSERT HE HAS 15o TO
OPPONENTS 4s.
PENNSYLVANIA HAS PRIMARY
WHEN VOTING is COMPLETED IN
KEYSTONE STATE WORK
WILL BE HALF DONE.

Washington, April 13.-More thar
one-half of the 1,070 delegates Il
the republican national convention
will have been selected at the con
clusion of the Pennsylvania primar
les today. Statements issued from
the Taft and Roosevelt headquarters
here show wide divergence in the
claims to the delegates selected uI
to last night.
The Taft claims is: Taft SS9;
Roosevelt 11S; LaFollette SO; Cum
Minis 4; uninstructed 2.
The Roosevelt claim is: Roosevelt
151; Taft 40; LaFollette So; Cum
minis 4; contested 164; uninstructed
LOG.
The chief differences between the
rival managers are in the southern
states where the Roosevelt forces
list as contested all of the delegates
claimed by Taft; in Mississippi,
where the delegation of 20 Is claimed
outright by both sides; and in New
York where SS delegates are listed as
'uninstructed" by the Roosevelt man
ayers, while the Taft managers claim
SO of them and concede seven to
Roosevelt. The six Vermont dele
gates claimed for Taft are held as
'uninstructed" in the Roosevelt
statement.
At the Clark headquarters the fol
lowing statement of democratic del
gates was issued:
Clark 143; Marshall 80; Wilson ~
Burke 10; uninstructed II.
At the Wilson headquarters an esti-
mate of 70 delegates was given as the
Wilson strength, including the dele
cation of North Dakota as second
choice and the Kansas delegation af-
ter the first ballot. Claims were not
made public from other head1uar
ters.
The apparent discrepancy between
the Taft and Roosevelt totals is due
to claims Of the Roosevelt forces to
the entire state of Louisiana, although
most of the district conventions have
not been held. The two headduai-
ters do not agree as to the num:ier
elected in Michigan.

The reason that newspaper advertising is so much
better than any other is because it is definitely recog
nzed everywhere of right and of merit absolutely
legitimate essential part of the newspapers func
ton as much the news and editorials, and a
modify definite and as measurable in value any
other. During the last few years newspaper adver-
Using has made tremendous strides, not only in vol
ume but i'll its essential content of precision and of
efficiency, 50 that its administration has become
definitely recognized profession, almost exact
science. necessary corolary of the great advance
i'll the value of legitimate advertising the decline and
disrepue of every other kind and that which obrudes
itself like the defacing of natural scenery, smugges
itself into notice. like yelled references in plays and
lectures, is not only futile but worse positive ofense
and a reproach to the and the things responsible.
One of the most valuable assets which any store
have is the reputation for being progressive.
