I. R. AND HARMON
LEADERS IN OHIO
HARMON WILL CONTROL STATE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Roosevelt's Decisive Support
Was General Througout the
Home State of Taft.


According to returns on hand from
approximately 4500 of the 5192 pre-.
cincts in the state. Colonel Rooseyelt's d
delegates to the national convention
carried Ohio's primaries by plurality
of 25, 900.
1t does not seem possible that final
results will change the number OF del
egates for either side ty more than one
or two. The best figures obtainable
show that Roosevelt has SO OF the AZ
district delegates and that President
Taft has 10. Although late returns
of the democratic presidential prefer
ance primary vote gave Woodrow Will
son fighting chance for ..one or two
delegates, the New Jersey governors
exact standing will not be known for
several days, when belated rural re-
turns have been procured.
Governor Harmon is assured OF a
complete delegation of as delegates
in the Baltimore convention. His
lead now gives him control of the state
demooratic convention which will &C.
lect six delegates at large. 1t also Is
said the convention will provide for
the unit rule which will force the
Wilson delegates selected by districts
to vote for Harmon.
The delegates at-large situation in
the republican pnTty will not be
known or settled until June 8, when
the state republican convention is
convened.
An analysis of the reoapitulated
Roosevelt vote shows that the Roose-
velt strength was not confined to any
particular section of the state or par
ticular class Of citizens. He carried
mining and industrial sections, suoh
as the Hooking Valley as we'll as some
of the Oldest and most conservative
eubur ban communities.

SAY ALL WILL
 SuPPORT TAFT
Connecticut Delegates, Home from Chicago, Predict Col
 lapse of T. B. Movement

The members of the Connecticut :delegation to Chicago, upon their re- turn to New Haven yesterday, all de 4c1ared their belief that the third par- fore November and that all Repubii- cans would be found supporting Pres ident Taft. Some of them declared that the actions Of Col. Roosevelt al Chicago were those of a crazy man dominated by one idea-his own sue cess.
 c Col. % Robert D. Eaton: .The Bull MooSe party won't last long. Those Roosevelt men are little sore just now but time, you know. is a great healer And before fall they'll all be
 Lieut.. Gov Blakeelee: s'Taft will not only be elected but he will also carry Connecticut by a large ma, jority I think the press of the coun- try has been making more of the de- lection among Republicans on account of the Roosevelt fight, than there real- today that there will be two Republi- can tickets, the second headed by Roosevelt, but feel that before cleo ton the Republicans will get in line for President Taft"
 2 County Commissioners J. p. Waiter: ssThe nomination of Taft was the only thing for that convention to have done. It's little too early to predict whether the Roosevelt leaders will come into line, but believe that next fall will see the Republican party united. r don't know where the re- port that Brooker. was going to re- sign from the national committee emanated but I'll say that there IS nothing in it. There semed to be Sentiment in favor of Uieut. Gov. Blakeslee for the nomination for gov ernor among the delegates on our trip."
 Col. I. M. Ullman: Governor Had- ley, practically the real leader or Ine self a Republican, and in favor of the ticket. It is my opinion that all the so-called Roosevelt leaders will be found in the ranks very soon working for the reelection of the president.

 She is instructed for Champ Clark

 "Women's place is the same as mems when 1t comes to voting. How ever, II don't think women should run for office until they break into the game. I'm no. tenderfoot. dear me no. why. I've voted for IS years.
 Certainly, women should have a ballot. They need it for the same reaA hons men do-for their protection. The mother needs it for the protection of her children and for the selection of the men who make the laws that they man-and there are over 5000, 900 of them, according to the 1910 cencus re- ports-needs 1t for their protection.

MANY VICE.
 PRESIDENTIAl
 BOOMLETS NOW !

Baltimore, June 25There was much quiet consideration by the Democratic leaders here. today, of available tim bef for the vice-preeidency. While au- hitting that geographical considera- tions would control and that final se- lection would not be possible until af- ter the head of the ticket had been
 decided upon, the claims of the.vari- ous candidates were discussed by the men who will have the task of decid- ing who is the most available candi- date. If Bryan should be nominated fol President, the general impression was that he would decide upon Governor Wilson, of New Jersey to be his ,run- ming mate although Governor Wilsbn has told his friends that under no cir. cumstances would he accept second in certain circles for Senator O'Gor- man, Of New York He has taken . distinct stand for progressive meas ures ever since he entered. the Senate and it was admitted his popularity in New York would benefit any presi- dential candidate if he could be per- suaded to accept the second place.
 Governor Marshall, of Indiana, also a presidential candidate. had many warm supporters as had Governors Foss, of Massachusetts and Baldwin, or Connecticut Congressman William Sulzer of New York, had a personally conducted boom which he declared was promising Mayor, Preston of fBa1ti- more, has established headquarters and his boomers were declaring that it would greatly aid the party if he were taken on.
