Mr.. Bryan has not manifested much love

of the House, which had resolved itself
into Committee Of the Whole on the

DECISION NOT YET

Administrations Claims Dis
counted by Contests for
Convention Seats.
MUCH DOUBT EXISTS

President Taft's managers claim that
he has 45s delegates. or within eighty
four Of majority. They concede TO
Col Roosevelt 2Ss delegates. or 3of short
Of majority. In the table put out by
the Presidents friends no allowance Is
made for the contests brought by the
Roosevelt men in the Southern States
A number Of the delegates claimed for
President Taft are not instructed. The
Taft managers lay claim to them as ''in-
structed or pledged for Taft" For ex-
ample, an analysis OF the Taft table
shows that his managers claim all OF the
Southern delegates and make no allow
ance for contests.
They claim twenty in Indiana. Against
the four delegates-at-large and four OF
the district delegates. the Roosevelt men
have given notice OF contests The Taft
managers claim twenty-six In Massachu-
setts. This necessarily includes the eight
deiegates-at-large elected as Roosevelt
men. who have been directed by Col.
Roosevelt 10 vote for Taft. but who
declare they .wiIl not.

delegates from Michigan. against many

The New Mexico State convention re-

since then the Taft managers have

The Taft managers claim eighty

In South Carolina the Taft managers
claim eighteen, IN face OF the fact that
FIVE of the delegates have announced

This analysis Of the Taft claims is

does not challenge the general accu-
racy OF the Taft table. but raises a
doubt as to whether the figures are as
high as the Taft managers claim. The
administration will control the nation

moi PETTY BRIBES
TO GET OFFICE

The distribution OF campaign cigars
or the purchasing of drinks for voters
by candidate for Office is a violation
of the corrupt practices act and sub
jects the donor or purchaser the penal
ties provided by the law, according to
a ruling by Attorney General Hogan
Monday.
The ruling was announced in reply
to a letter from Theodore H. Tangeman
prosecuting attorney of Auglaize coun-
ty. He stated that many candidates
for Office subject to the May primaries
had inquired whether their pursuance
of the old time custom of treating"
and handing out cigars would subject
them to prosecution.
In his ruling Mr.. Hogan stated 1.-The
giving of cigar to voter would con-
stitute the giving of something ofval-
ne, and is expressly forbidden by the
terms of the Kimball act. If one cigar
be given, two might be given, yea, a
whole box might be given. There
would be no limit except the entire
amount the candidate might expend
for his election.
"It is urged however, that persons
who have been in the habit of treating
their friends should not be prevented
from doing so when candidate. 1t is
not the purpose of the act that a man
must change his personal habits. He
should, however, distinguish between
electioneering and the purchasing of
drinks for friends"
