The Lorimer Issue in Illinois.

Power Behind the Wallop.'

Deneen, Weyman, Hurburgh and Jones
2S2, ,642-to Smalfs s., ,664. Wayman, who
in Cook county, prosecuted the jack
potters, sought nomination on his record
as an opponent of the elements that
elected Lorimer. Jones made his CAM
paign by attacking conditions responsible
for corruption in the state. Hurburgh
used the same issue.
Yates. Brown and Davis made their
campaigns on the theory and in the hope
that republicans in Illinois were tired Of
fighting and might be induced to unite on
a man who preached harmony. The re-
publicans were not tired, they did not
want harmony. They wanted something
more militant. But the vote for Yates,
Brown and Davis, a total of 1S4JS
would be done an injustice If 1t were
counted in any way for Lorimer. Add it
to the total vote of the other four candi-
dates and you have the full measure of

THEFT OF AN INFANT.
Girl Weakened by Illness Develops
Mania for Children.

NEW YORK, April 13.-A primitive
mother instinct which had developed into
a mania led seventeen-year-old Annie
Boyarsky. her mind weakened by long
illness. to steal a baby from Mount Sinai
Hospital, according to theory upon which
the police are working in their search for
her and the infant. With the babe in
her arms she is believed to be grooming
TO it somewhere in Central Park today
and the police have thrown a dragne.
out to arrest her.
The girl lives in poor circumstances in
East New York. and told her mother
Thursday that she was going to Mount
Sinai Hospital to get baby. The mother
thought her remark was merely another
whim of her daughter. who, she said. had
been talking continually since her illness
of her love for babies.

Fitting Place for Burial.

''It is well that he should be buried here

Here, above the dust OF the soldier who
won fame on three continents. and whose
military record is perhaps unique among
those American-born soldiers. the state
of New Jersey, which gave him his first
command in the war between the states
will raise a monument that will be a mt

Roosevelt's Scattered Forces.

The balance of Mr. Roosevelt's dele
gates are indicative of spasmodic up
heavals here and there. They are merely
surface eruptions and are so widely scat
teered geographically as to represent
nothing more than complimentary vote.
The seven votes he has in New York are
those OF personal friends among the
bosses. as Mr.. Roosevelt delights to term
the New York leaders who have saved the
party in a dozen presidential elections.
The scattering and insignificant nature
Of his support is illustrated by the fol-
lowing figures, which shows his actual
delegates outside of Maine, Illinois, In
diana and Oklahoma:
Kentucky. 1; Missouri, ?; New Mex
leo. L; Vermont, .. AS against this show
ing of delegates for Roosevelt. the table
shows how he is regarded as the genuine
leader Of his party this year. Every
where the party is united and fighting
the democrats. and not among themselves,
PRESIDENT Taft Is the unanimous choice.
In other words. President Taft is the
candidate of the republican party, while
Mr.. Roosevelt is the candidate of discord
and fnsurrection, most Of which has been
brought about by purely local issues
ITO date President Taft already has a
majority of the delegates from ten differ
ent states. BY the time the convention Is
held he Will have solid delegations or
a large majority of the delegates from
every big republican state east OF the
Mississippi river except Maine, Illinois
and Wisconsin, the latter being for Sena-
tor La Toilette unanimously. AS between
Mr. Roosevelt and President Taft, Wis
consin favors Mr.. Taft. West Of the Mis-
sissippi river the President will have dele
gates from every state except North Da-
kota. which was also carried by Senator
La Toilette over Mr.. Roosevelt by an
overwhelming vote, the Taft forces maxi
ing no contest. The President will have
more delegates in the republican national
convention this year than he had In 1908
and his denomination Is an absolute GER
tainty."
