Claims II eliminates Taft.

The result of Saturdays primary
election in Pennsylvania eliminates
President Taft as candidate for re-
election worthy of serious consider
alton. Whatever course those who
control his actions may see fit to
take to assuage the humiliation OF
his retirement the outcome will be
the same. He will not be candi-
date before the Republican National
Convention. For it IL impossible to
believe that there is either folly OF

Pennsylvania Primaries.

Corrected returns give Theodore
Roosevelt 54 Of the ga district ma
tional delegates with good chances
that the number will be increased to
SIS, as the result of Saturdays pri-
mary election in Pennsylvania. As
his supporters expect to control the
state convention, which will name
~ delegates-at-large, this will give
him total of 66 or possibly 81 out
of the states delegation OF 76
Governor Woodrow wilson, q
New Jersey made Amos: a clean
sweep Of the State. Returns indicate
that he has in the neignborhood Of
10 delegates, bu. the exact number
cannot be ascertained until com
plete count is in. Because of the
split in the Democratic party In
Pennsylvania. some OF the delegates
may change their preference from
one candidate to another.

In Illinois and Pennsylvania.

The astounding results in the
preferential pimaries in Illinois and
Pennsylvania last week serve to indi-
cate that the doctrine of popular
rule as advocated by Col. Roosevelt
Is no idle dream or political fancy.
The man or machine that goes be-
fore the people saying that red
FLOODED Americans are incapable of
administering governmental affairs,
and that they have to have 1t done
by rsonally-eondncted and self
selected machines is going up against
an avalanche of dissenting votes
that will bury him or them beyond
recall"
The vision of the local Roosevelt
advocates and leaders was not OBJ
scured by embarrassed desire to act
subservient to Washington orders
passed along the inc. but their bin
oculars were opened to the fact that
by leaning little toward the people
II Is not difficult feat to ascertain
what Is desired by them They have
also realized, and are displaying
to great degree, the fact, which
politicians never seem to realize
that their strength is in the people
VIII the political managers never
realize that their strength and pow
er increases as they serve the people
and not in thwarting their will The
fight Is clean cut between people
81
who want efficient government, and
machine rule, and we hope that Min.
60 will come out on the right side

LOOKS TOUGH FOR
THE STAND PATTERS
Roosevelt People Claim Victory ii
County Convention.
They Think They Will Make !
Clean Sweep.

The Roosevelt people hope to car
ry the county next Saturday and cap
ture delegates for Roosevelt. The
present machine rule in this county
is up against it and the contest will
be d determined one. The Renegades
as they are called, have offered q
!, compromise, but the Roosevelt peo-
pie feel that they have mapority on
their side and they propose to con-
tend for clean sweep of the bosses
as near as they can make it. In the
opinion of most people the Roosevelt
contingent of the Republican party
in this county have large najcri@
ty of the voters with them and when
it comes to fair test they hope, and
believe they will put a twist in the
steam roller methods that will put
those at the head of boss politics in
this county out of business. Ot
course it is no fight of ours, and We
are not taking part, but lookinlg on
at the situation from an impartial
standpoint the Roosevelt people have
it all over the ringsters il they get
justice, and they proclaim that they
will have square deal or bust 1t
is we'll known that the Roosevelt
sentiment among the people is grow
ing rapidly since Illinois and Penn
sylyania have given the Colonel such
overwhelming majorities and it
would not surprise us If the Roose-
Welt men swept the county. At any
rate, they have the chances to show
the stuff of which they are made in
the contest which comes off on next
Saturday.

The Republicans have a county
convention here on next Saturday and
the Roosevelt people are going to
give. the machine ring element
fight for what they get. Il Is under
stood that the boss element Of the

delegates and othe things they want
to keep the old machine political
methods in vogue, but we look for
real fight that will be worth witness
ing all over the county. Democrats
can look ON with complacency and
hope that some good may come out
of it for better government in this
county. Anything for change.

ever given here, Saturday night,

invited the Orchestral Entertain
ers'' of the "Ridpath Lyceum Blu
reau." This will be rare treat for
all lovers of high class music.
The Orchestral Entertainers Is q
company composed of four sisters
the Misses Gladys, Edith. Frances
and Inez Maurer. For versatility
on musical instruments and max
ing good" their appalled, is seldom
found. In this respect they NIL an
important place on the Lyceum plat
form for there is much demand for
just such a combination and the on
" reason that there are compare
lively few such combinations, Ii be-
cause versatility in music is so apt
to be accompanied by mediocrity.
Especially is there demand for this
kind of an organization where large
door sales are consideration to
the committee. Pictures of numer-
GUS Instruments and promises OF a
widely varied program attract young
and old from far and near.
Some features of the Orchestral
Entertainers Program are as fol-
