told hum the movement had practically
the same sort of support il had in Cali

President Taft said he could not prop

time, because he did not wish to exploit
any advantage which might accrue
through seeking favor with the women
who form the suffrage movement, but he
assured his callers that if they wrote him
after the Republican convention he would
give them his views on the question.

phone. When finally brought TO baIu'
more to-day by messengers they were
found TO give Roosevelt 80 votes ana
Taft ~ making the unofficial taouiauohs
FOR the whole county as already noted
Howard is one Of the smallest counties
of the state. and the total vote 1t re-
surned was only 124
The other feature of the day following
9be primaries was the development oil
the possibility that the delegates electeu
10 the state convention would include
majority Of Taft men, even though their
instructions by the county preference
vote might bind them TO vote for 4
Roosevelt delegation 10 the national con
vention. The Taft leaders made this
claim. and much speculation resulted as
TO the effect on the state convention.
It was pointed out that President
Taft's friends might control the organi-
cation Of the convention, force the adop-
ton Ct a conservative platform and send
delegation TO Chicago which would be
ready to abandon Roosevelt as soon az
i they considered they had fulfilled their
legal duties by voting for him on the
first ballot None of the leaders, how
ever. made any such prophecies.
