MARYLAND, MY
MARYLAND" u. R.
GAINS 66 DELEGATES TO PRESI.
DENTS 6a IN THE STATE
CONVENTION.
BALTIMORE FOR LEADERS
Clark Beat Wilson Nearly Two to
One.-Massachuset Recount
Favors Who Are Pledged
To Roosevelt.

Baltimore, May I.-Maryland 10
votes in the national convention will
be cast for Theodore Roosevelt and
Speaker Champ Clark unless the few
election districts still to be heard
from change the result in the states
FIRST presidential primaries. Although
the election was close Colonel Roose-
Welt on the face Of the returns, had
more than enough votes necessary to
control the state convention.
The primaries divided the delegates
10 the state convention as follows:
Result Of the Vote.
Republicans-Roo 66; Taft,
&c.
Democra ts-Clark, r.; Wilson, "A;
Harmon, 4; in doubt, 9.
Majority necessary to control tho
convention, 65.
The state delegates elected are
bound to choose delegation to the
national convention favorable to the
presidential candidates for whom the
people expressed their preference.
Although the popular preference
vote of the state as whole did not
determine the result, it favored Roose-
welt and Clark by pluralities more con-
elusive than the division of state del
egates based on the county preference
vote should. This was due largely to
the sweep which both successful can
didates made in the city Of Baltimore
Speaker Clark led steadily from the
time the first returns arrived from
the Baltimore wards. Early in the
evening it looked as if Colonel Roose-
Welt would win by an equally big ma
jority but shortly before midnight re-
turns from the strong Taft counties in
eastern and southern Maryland put
the president suddenly ahead with 63
delegates to his opponents 81. 1t
was Prince Georges county that de-
cided. Both sides claimed its five
votes until conclusive returns short
ly after midnight placed it In the
Roosevelt column.
The Taft leaders claim that the f1ve
Taft delegates chosen in Baltimore
city, although obliged by their instruc-
tons to vote for Roosevelt, may give
the Taft sympathizers control OF the
state convention and enable them to
elect delegates to the national conven-
ton who would be ready to abandon
Roosevelt as soon as released from
the obligations imposed by the law.
Such situation might arise at the ma
tional convention, they say, if several
hundred ballots failed to result in
choice.
Roosevelt Delegates Gain.
Boston.-Recounts of the vote for
delegates at large pledged to Presi-
dent Taft, cast at the presidential
primaries last Tuesday were complet-
ed and reported from nine cities, in
GLIDING Boston and one town. The
returns showed falling of OF 1877
votes over the figures as announced
at the close of the polls and conse-
quence gain for the Roosevelt dele
gates. In Boston the leader of the
Taft group, Senator Crane, sustained
. net loss of 81 votes.
In Boston, Lynn, Maiden, Taunton,
Lowell Gloucester, North Adam, Sa
lem and Northampton and the town
of North Bridge. 2,947 ballots were
spoilted by the voters marking nine
delegates instead of eight, the num-
Der in Boston being 1,450, or about
13 per cent.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
Des Moines, MAY 5. 1871.

The past week was warmer than US
ual, the daily excess of temperature
ranging from to degrees, and
weather conditions were generally fav-
orsble for rapid progress in farming
operations. Heavy rains on April 28th
and frequent showers during the week
did, however, delay field work to some
extent in southern counties. The warm
rains, and the high temperatures dur
ing the last four days have caused an
unusually rapid growth of all vegeta-
ton, fruit trees are in blossom, and
grass and small grain have made de-
cided improvem ,nt. All fruit trees.
except apples show an abundance of
bloom. Spring sown grain and grasses
have made good start and show .
strong, vigorous stand. Much ground
has been prepared for. corn and some
planting was done in many localities
during the latter half of the week.
With favorable weather planting will
be general during the coming week.
Most of the live stock is in pasture
and obtaining sufficient feed.

Because of what they regard as made
quate compensation. w. A. Brooke, Mont
gomery county's automobile deputy, and
Deputy Sheriff Robert l.. Saunders, who
have been the most active of the county s
officers In enforcing the automobile resu-
lations of the state, will hold up no
more autoists. and 1t is understood that
other of the county officers will follow
their example and go on strike"
All that the law allows an officer is
% cents for each arrest, of which amount
the sheriff of the county gets one-half
leaving the deputy but 37h cents for
each arrest. Deputy Brooke has been
using his own automob le to patrol the
roads and chase autoists and has had to
buy gasoline and pay all other expenses
in connection with the work. Likewise,
Deputy Saunders, who, however, has used
a motor cycle. Recently these officers
have been doing a little calculating and
have discovered that chasing automo-
biles W. tn their own machines and paying
the own gasoline bills and other ex-
penses, has been losing them money fast,
and so they several days ago decided to
foreso the automobile game until, al
least, there is more money in sight in the
shape of fees.
With Deputies Brooke and Saunders out
of it, autoists who happen out this way
need have little fear, for most of the
other officers long nee decided that 31iz2
cents per arrest would not do.
