County Conventions Today
Show Preference Of New
Jersey Governor
Clark and Harmon Manager
Defy Defeat with Vigorous
Contests
Republican Contest Between
Taft and Roosevelt an
Open Game
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DALLAS, Texas, May Texas
democrats and republicans met in
county conventions today to take the
second step Of indicating their choice
among Wilson, Harmon and Clark,
and between Taft and Roosevelt, as
presidential candidates. Wilson is
the first choice on the democratic
side, while the Taft and Roosevelt
contest is AL open one.
Conventions are scheduled for at
least 243 out of the 249 counties. The
chief interest centers in the question
as to whether the attack will be
made on the apparent landslide by
which Wilson won in Saturdays con-
ventions. Unofficial and incomplete
returns indicate his followers would
have conrolling vote in a sufficient
number Of county conventions today
to assure the New Jersey governor
of more than majority of the 62S
votes in the state convention. Cam
paign managers of Harmon and Clark
do not concede defeat, and promise
vigorous contests today.

trunk HIGHWAY
WATER GRADE
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
NELSON, b. c., May 7:-Unofficial
advices from Victoria are to the ef-
feet that the provincial engineers are
the converts to the water grade for
the portion of the International trunk
highway that will span the lake re-
gion. This probably means that the
fight is won and that the old Dewd-
ney trail across the SUBMITS will no
longer meanace the true interests Of
the big road. The trans4montane route
would require the crossing of divide
5000 feet high, with clear rise of
over 1000 feet from the lake level,
and incidentally the elimination of
the most thoroughly scenic section of
the natural route through the noun
tains. Existing roads along the
shores OF Kootenay lake and in the
Salmon valley leave but little new
construction necessary, and so far as
the lake portion is concerned the
through highway could be opened to-
morrow, as auto parties could cover
the Jake section from Kootenay Land
ing to Nelson by steamer pending
completion of the shore road. 1t
would be no great task for the pro-
vincial government to have the whole
Kootenay portion of the trans'provin-
cial road completed in the season Of
1913 When that is accomplished the
states of Washington and Idaho and
the province of Alberta will have &C.
cess by highway to the Kootenay, and
access to the coast and to the Pacific
highway will be little if any later.
In the matter Of year or two the
Canadian Switzerland will be open to
the world by auto.

No Democratic Doubt.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May John H
Hanna, chairman of the republican,
state central committee and a Taft
leader, said this Afternoon he was in
doubt about the figures received from
Howard county, which on the face Of
the returns went for Roosevelt by a
majority of 80. Taft managers had
no other figures to offer, but said they
wish to investigate the count there
more closely.
All other counties carried by Roose-
welt gave him majorities running from
400 to 100.
Roosevelt leaders said they were
sure OF Howard county and pointed
out the vote there was handled by
election officers appointed by friends
Of Taft. With three from Howard,
Roosevelt will have Sc delegates to
the state convention, as compared
with 6 for Taft. Hanna expressed the
opinion that Taft will control the
state convention. Roosevelt leaders,
however, refuse TO admit this, saying
the personality of state delegates will
cut no figure.
Only one county, Garrett, remained
in doubt on the democratic count, and
the result there cannot change the
