Latest Returns Give the Colonel
66 Votes and Taft SO Votes in
the State Convention
DELEGATION WILL NOT
BE FOR THE PRESIDENT
I'm the State Primaries Clark Has
a Long Lead Over Wilson and
Harmon Will Garry the Vote of
the State of Maryland

BALTIMORE, May 6.-Maryland's
is votes in the national convention
will be cast for Roosevelt and Clark
unless a few election district still to
be heard from change the result reg
istered today by the states first presi-
dental primaries.
According to the latest returns the
delegates to the state convention are
divided as follows: Republicans
Roosevelt So, Taft SO. Democrats
Clark 70, Wilson A, Harmon 4, in
doubt 8, majority necessary to con-
troll So.
Clark and Roosevelt
Clark and Roosevelt leaped into the
lead early with complete delegations
from Baltimore City, which gave them
each 20 delegates. Clark's preferential
vote in the city is greater than that of
. Harmon and Wilson combined. He
defeated Wilson nearly to l and the
New Jersey governor was ahead of
Harmon by to 1.
The sweeping Clark success in Balti-
more was victory for the democratic
organization. In the republican pri-
mary here the Roosevelt organization
down the regular republican organiza-
ton, led by Collector of the Port VIII
liam f. Stone.
Small Vote for Harmon
The small vote polled by Harmon
removed the possibility that the demo-
cratic fight might be settled in the
state convention. Had none of the
democratic candidates won majority
of the delegates, the delegates in
structed for the candidate with the
smallest following would have been
free to swing to one of the other can
didates and control the convention
after the first ballot.
The popular preferential vote has
been lost sight of tonight and probably

CINCINNATI, May 6-President
Taft campaigned through southern
Ohio today, making in all ten speeches,
many of these in q downpour of rain
that drove the crowds of country
folks to shelter. The first speech of
the day was at Jacksonville and the
last tonight in Cincinnati
Many times the president referred
to Roosevelt's charge that he was con-
sorting with bosses and in answer he
called attention to William f. Lynn of
Pittsburg and Walter Brown of Ohio
as the two bosses whom with Roose-
welt had dealings, The president de-
clared he has nothing to do with up
holding or destroying bosses Bosses
he said, were made by local conditions
Even Roosevelt Had Bosses
would you think if Roosevelt were
elected we would not have any more
bosses?" The president said that he
did not recall that during Roosevelt's
seven years of occupancy of the presi-
dental chair that his path was strewn
with the bodies of dead bosses he had
killed.
In regard to the trusts and the
Roosevelt charge that he was subject
to control of the special privilege, Taft
says he had followed Roosevelts pol
icies in every respect but one and that
one was the prosecution of the steel
and harvester trusts
Threat That Perkins Made
The president alluded to the pub
lished statement of George w Perkins
of the steel and harvester trust, that
if he were prosecuted or his company
sued, they would fight. That had

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, May FIN a
statement issued by Colonel Roosevelt
i'll reply to President Tafts speech in
Baltimore last night the colonel says
that Mr.. Taft knew he was making an
untrue statement when he said that
the former president expressed the
opinion that the antitrust law ought
to be repealed.
He again contradicted the president
in regard to the harvester trust case,
saying that at cabinet meeting and
in a private conversation with him
Mr.. Taft repeatedly and emphatically
approved the course actually taken.
The colonel returned this morning
from his Maryland tour, He said he
expected to remain in oyster Bay q
week before starting on his Ohio cam
paign.
Useless to the People
Col Roosevelt's statement follows:
with Mr.. Taft's personal opinion
about me, l have no concern beyond
pointing out the sufficiently obvious
fact that he never discovered that ]
was dangerous to the people until
had been obliged to come to the con-
clusion that he was useless to the peo-
pie.
'But his specific statements as to
the trusts, the crookedness in select
dent, / shall again answer, although
| have answered them specifically in
Massachusetts.
"Mr. Taft knew all the facts about
the harvester trust decision, and he
was present at cabinet meeting
where they were discussed, and at that
cabinet meeting, and also in private
conversation with me, he repeatedly
and emphatically approved the course
taken, just as he repeatedly and en-
phatically approved the course taken
as regards the Tennessee Coal & Iror
company

HE was absent from the country

matter came up again and it appeared
that Mr. Bonaparte had not under
