Philadelphia, April 15.-Latest re
turns from the Pennsylvania primaries
OF Saturday only serve to increase the
size of the victory of Colonel Roose-
welt over President Taft in the fight
for delegates to the Chicago conven-

welt will have at least seventy dele
gates and Taft not more than six from

delphia, that comprising Lancaster

Personal Popularity Won Here.
In the Fifth district in Philadelphia
one Roosevelt delegate was elected and
one apparent Taft man got through.

William H. Keller, the two delegates

changes.
Not only have the Roosevelt follow
ers swept the state for their delegates
but they have elected the majority of
the 372 representatives to the state
convention, which will elect twelve del
egates at large to the national. Those
twelve delegates are already counted

nomination being practically uncon-
tested.
