Clark Follows
Constituents Wishes
BY SPEAKER CHAMP CLARK.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Judging
from many letters and kilograms re-
ceived, the people of the Ninth congress
sional district of Missouri. while be-
fieving and hoping that ! will be nomi-
mated for president, desire that file for
congress, which under the law must
be done not later than June Z if at all
Matters presidential have advanced
so, far that three things are clear:
First viii have long lead al
Baltimore
Second will most probably have a
majority
THIRD Nobody will have a two
thirds majority on the first ballot
do not know whether the two thirds
rule will be enforced 1t never has
been reinforced but once. and that was
against Martin Van Buren,. in 1874 In
all other cases the man who received a
majority was given the necessary two
thirds majority. Nevertheless the two
thirds rule may be enforced. and I may
or may not secure the two-thirds ma
jority
haveI every reason now to believe
will secure the necessary two thirds
but in view of that contingency and
out of respect for the wishes of my
constituents and of the Missouri Demo-
Gratis in 9th houses of congress. l have
concluded 10 file for congress.

T. R. Would Hold Up
Contested Votes

CHICAGO May 29.-That only dele
gates whose seats are not contested will
oe allowed to vote for the temporary
officers of the Republican national con-
vention is the plan of the Roosevelt
faction and the Roosevelt leaders will
make every effort TO see that it is en-
forced
This is the statement of Ormsby Nc
Harg. here to represent Roosevelt in
the delegate contests. McHarg holds
that it would be manfestly unfair to
allow contested delegates to vote on a
question that would influence the set
tlement Of the contests. This is the
same question on which contests in
some states are based
The Taft men say that the demand is
political trick. Roosevelt followers
have contested ESQ seats. and if these
delegates were barred from voting the
Roosevelt forces would have no diff
Guilty in controlling the temporary or
ganization and naming their own Gre
dentials committee.

gers controlling the national commit
tee has reached the point of foolish
conversation. The national committee
are the trustees of the Republican par
ty. They are in the nature of a board
of directors, and certainly no sane man
can believe that that committee could

stroying the Republican party
We did not pretend to control a

COLONEL MAKES
CLEAN SWEEP
IN JERSEY
Taft Fails to Win Any of 20
Delegates Woodrow Viii
son Loses Only Four.

TRENTON, n J.. MAY Returns
from New jerseys first presidential
preference primaries showed today that
Theodore Roosevelt had overwhelm-
ingly defeated President Taft in their
battle for the statet delegation to the
Republican national convention.
Colonel Roosevelts victory was one of
the most crushing blows he has dealt
the president since they began their
contest to win state delegations through
speech making tours,
AS the count conttnued today, the
returns indicated that Roosevelt had
won the complete state delegation,
consisting of four delegate at Large
and "a district delegates. Earlier in
the day it looked as If Taft would save
four delegates.
Roosevelt's plurality over President
Taft and Senator LaFbllette, estimated
from the returns a hand will be be-
tween 5000 and 1OoO0swhen the count
is complete.
On the Democratic side Governor
Wilson was an easy victor. Vdnnng "a
Of the IS delegates. He had apparent
" lost two districts in Essex county
where he was bitterly fought by ex-
State Chairman Nugent. who wanted
the state delegation unrestricted. Re
turns from the Democratic balloting
indicated that Wilson would have a
majority of at least 80, 900.
Great Surprise to Politicians,
The result of the Republican p1dma-
ries was one of the greatest surprises
that the old-line politicians have ever
received in New Jersey The conf
dent prediction of United States Sen
ator F. o. Briggs, Republican state
leader, that Taft would sweep the state
was made after a careful canvass.
The labor vote was the greatest as
set of the ex- president tn his victory
The first returns received after the
primaries closed we're from the silk
stocking districts, where the voting
had been completed early These we're
favorabl TO Taft, but when the re
turns came from districts where fac
tory hands and other workers had
voted after their days toll, It was ap-
parent that Roosevelt would make a
big sweep.
President Taft was expected to poll
heavily in southern New Jersey, but
Roosevelt captured the First district
by large majority.
The Second, containing Atlantic City,
also went to the colonel. The ballots
In the Third were slowly counted, es-
pecially in Middlesex county. the piv-
otal section, but Roosevelt was appar-
emily winner there also.
Labor Vote For = r.
The Fourth. containing Trenton and
Mercer counties went strong for
Roosevelt, he taking both city and
county.
AS the count proceeded today it
looked as If Roosevelt would win the
Fifth by 400 He also took the Sixth
as well as the Seventh.
The labor vote was especially strong
in the Eighth Ninth and Tenth. and 1t
was all for Roosevelt, for he swept the
three districts. In Essex county, where
Taft was expected to win, Roosevelt
was the victor by two to ONE.
Hudson county, containing the E1ev-
enth and Twelfth districts, stood three
thus far counted.
At Princeton the home of Governor
Wilson, the Taft vote was 202 and
Rooaevelts 1886 Wilson had lead OF
ais.
