PRIMARY TO BEAT COLONEL
Politicians Say Maryland Law
Kills His Chances There.

Try Telegraph 10 The Tribune
Baltimore, April THE politicians woke
up to-day 10 the fact that the Presidential
primary bill just passed by the Legisa-
ture and so ardently fought for by the
Roosevelt men is the big stick which.
Taft leaders say, will kill any chance the
colonel may have had OF landing even
part Of the Maryland delegates Even
Roosevelt men are horror stricken at the
real import of the bill.
Colonel Darlington. chief Of the Roose-
Welt forces I'm Maryland, said of the new
law: II think 1t is better than the pres
cnt law. hut IL Is not the law that we
wanted"
1t is declared that tho Law destroys the
individuality of the various districts. In
stead OF allowing each district to name
its apportionment of delegates TO the ma
tional convention, the entire sixteen dele
gates will now be named by the state con-
vention. Control OF siXty-fve delegates
TO the state convention will mean a solid
delegation to the national convention.

UPHOLDS PRIMARY RESULTS
Justice Maddox Refuses to Set Aside
Election on Fraud Charge.

Justice Maddox. of tho Supreme Court.
refused yesterday 10 set aside the primary
election in four Brooklyn Assembly dis
tr!ct on the ground that the voters had
been dcfraudcd OF their right TO vote by the
failure OF the printers TO get the ballots
delivered in time. Four applications had
been made. They involved the Republican
primaries I'm the 14th. 10th and 10Th Assem-
bIy districts and the Democratic primaries
I'm the 18th Assembly District.
The Democratic application was made by
owen j. Murphy. the only district leader
who was unseatcd in either party. Justice
Maddox decided that the Board OF Elcc-
tions had complied with the law In pro-
viding the ballots and the delay In the de-
livery OF the ballots by the printers or the
police did not constitute fraud on the
boards part. especially in view Of the per-
mission given voters to make up their own
ballots In the absence OF the official ballots

Tammany man who was quoted in regard
to the primaries of last week in the state
ment that Theodore Roosevelt made on
Sunday night. said Yesterday that he
thought he would have to start a little
Ananias Club Of his own. He was boiling
over with indignation to see himself set
down as saying something that he had
never even dreamed.
There never was a time even in the
long ago. when corruption in politics was
more common than now" he was quoted by
Mr.. Roosevelt az saying. that Tssnmany
would have dared such barefaced viola
ton OF the law and decency as was openly
practised by the Republican organization
in New York City on Tuesday"

gresham Riordan. II was not out of nv
Congress district on primary day, and don't
know anything about conditions anywhere
else. | did not talk TO any one about cor.
ruption at the primaries, and so far as |
know they were conducted In a manner
