THE RESULT ~ rlLlNoIs.

The people of Illinois desire the re
election OF Theodore Roosevelt, to tho
presidency. There is no getting away
from that fact. No matter how much
and how plausible the dope" handed
ont by MIR. Taft's camna!Gn managers.
the figures OF the preferential primary
stand out above everything. Although
we have not so regarded it, a majority
OF the newspapers of the nation have
considered Illinois as u ,dvotrl state
and the people OF tho country have
been instructed to so consider it, The
vote shows that the Illinois voters
want Roosevelt. but when the control
of n patronage machine that spreads
out into every State of the Union Is
with Mr.. Taft. II would be incorrect
TO argue that rs Illinois goes. so the
country goes. There were doubtless
conditions An tho State which went
to swell the Roosevelt ma jority. but
the great bulk OF the voters plainly
wanted Roosevelt
