OHIO RoosEvELTs VICTORY.
Out of AZ Delegates Elected i'm the
Ohio Primaries Roosevelt Re-
Ceives 32 and Taft Gets 10
Taft Still in Lead,

Columbus, Ohio, May 22.-Accord-
ing to the latest returns here to-
night from approximately $500 of
the 5l92 precincts in the state, Col
Rooseyelt's delegates to the Nation
al Republican convention carried
yesterday S Ohio primaries by a
plurality of more than $4,000 votes.
1t is scarcely possible that the
final poll of the votes will materially
change the number of delegates for
either side more than one or two.
The best figures available tonight
show that Roosevelt has 80 of the
AZ district delegates selected yes
terday and that the President has 10.
Although later returns on the
Democratic presidential preference
primary vote give Woodrow Wilson
a fighting chance for one or two
more delgates, the New Jersey
mans exact standing will not be
known for several days, when GER
tain belated rural returns have been
secured from dilatory judges who re-
fused to complete the counts in their
precincts before taking a nights
sleep, or for other reasons.
The race between Harmon and
Wilson in the first and second dis
tricts of Cincinnati is undecided also,
although appearances now indicate
that Wilson will carry the two dis
tricts. With only six precincts miss
ing, Harmon is II votes behind. Po-
litical experts do not believe that
these six precincts will change the
result sufficiently to allow Harmon
a majority. The vote is: Harmon,
747S; Wilson, 7549.
Claiming $40 delegates to the Chi
cago convention, or thirty more than
enough to assure him the nomina-
tion, President Taft, in a statement
today, declared he was going into
New Jersey to make assurance
doubly sure" He will leave Wash
ington for Philadelphia at Z o'clock
tomorrow morning, and make his
first political speech at Camden in
the evening.
Our opponents quote from
statement of mine, made in Cleve-
land, that the fight in Ohio, my home
state, much to my qualification,
would be the decisive one," said the
president in his statement, land
would settle the question of my nom
ination. This is true. / shall have
at least seventeen votes from Ohio,
including the delegates-at-large, for
we have every assurance that we
shall control the state convention"

FINGERLINGs ARE PLENTIFUL.
3,OOO,OOO Trout to he Put in the
Streams of Pennsylvania Next
Year by the Fish Commits
SiOner

Harrisburg May 23.-After tour
OF the state, Commissioner of Fish
cries Nathan r. Butler, declares that
he had much more reason to be
pleased than he had expected with
the outlook for a good supply of
trout fingerlings to be planted in the
trout streams of Pennsylvania for
next season. Up to the advent of Mr..
Butler as commissioner of fisheries,
it had been the practice of the Penn
sylvania fisheries department to
plant about 100000 trout fry an
inch long every spring.
AT Cory there are now fully | -
100000 fingerlings two to three in
ches long, at Bellefonte 100000
fingerlings three inches long, and at
Pleasant Mount hatchery 25O,OOO
fingerlings four inches long. BY the
time distribution will begin next fail
all these fish, unless some extraordi-
nary floods or other unlocked for
misfortunes should befall them,
should be from five to seven inches
long, and the anglers of Pennsylva-
MIA can look forward to some very
good trout fishing next year. From
the present outlook the department,
instead of having 100000 finger
llngs to distribute, will have three
times as many and all the fish will
be of excellent size.
No trout have so far been dis
tributed under the administration of
Commissioner Butler except the old
breeding fish that were at the hatch
cries, probably about 10000. Prac-
tically all these were released into
streams in close proximity to the
hatcheries, and they have made fish
ing in those neighborhoods the best
the anglers in those sections ever
encountered. The ponds in which
the breeding fish were formerly kept
are now utilized for the propagation
or the fngerlings under the depart
ments new plan.
The necessary number of trout
eggs for the raising of a supply of
from year to year will be
obtained from private hatcheries in
various parts of Pennsylvania.
