Ten Of Y Delegates 10 National
Convention 10 Be Chosen.
Both the Taft and Roosevelt Men
Claim Majority Of Delegates.

Portland, Me, April ten of
Names quota of II delegates to the
Republican National convention at
Chicago in June, will be chosen at
Bangor, next Wednesday afternoon.
when the Republican State convention
and the 2, Sd and 4th Congressional
District conventions win be held. Ten
alternates also will be chosen and six
candidates for electors of President
and Vice President will be nominated
The State convention Will name four
delegates at large and each of the
three district conventions, all of which
are called for 2 p. NJ. will select two
delegates. The LIST District convention
was held in Portland, last Wednesday.
when two delegates favorable to the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt We're
elected by a majority of three votes.
Supporters of President Taft and Col,
Roosevelt alike predict victory in the
State convention and in each of the
district conventions at Bangor.
The State convention will consist of
1882 delegates, and of these consider
ably more than half already have been
chosen. According to returns received
by Roosevelt leaders, a slight majority
Of the delegates thus far elected have
either been instructed for the former
President or have expressed preference
for him.
Taft supporters on the other hand
assert that not all of these delegates
have been rightly placed. Both sides
admit that the State contest is close
and that the delegates remaining to be
chosen can easily turn the tide one
way or the other.
AS to the three district conventions.
the same doubt exists. In the 4th Dis
triet, the reciprocity policy of Presi-
dent Taft seems to have figured in the
contest, especially in Aroostook county,
the great potato country. where ac-
cording to the official returns every
delegate so far chosen is instructed
for Roosevelt.
The fight for delegates has not been
waged with the same vigor in the I'd
and Sd Districts as it has been in the
extreme western and eastern parts of
the State. where the 1st and 4th Dis
tricts are located. But both sides in
the central districts are claiming vie
tory.
Wednesdays State convention will
be the only one to be held by the Re
publicans, this year. for. under the
direct primary law, adopted by sthe
Legislature, a year ago. all candidates
for State and county offices are to be
chosen directly by the people. This
