Total. ia.
For Senator La Toilette it is stated
that he already has North Dakota with
eight votes, and most of his opponents
among the managers here agree that
while he will have no chance for the
nomination in the convention, he may
get the delegation from Wisconsin II
order to help him in his fight for re.
election to the Senate next fall While
William E. Borah. of Idaho, is not a
candidate. he is usually given the vote
Of his native State. The second choice
of the State is said to be Cummins
Root Is given by only one of the rIva
managers any votes outside of New
York, and there he receives a few In the
South. New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Philander c. Knox is considered a name
with which to help beat the Brumbaugl1
delegates in his native State and is con-
sidered very remote possibility.
See No Chance of Stampede
All of these forecasts of strength over
zap each other III some important In
stances, but added TO the reasonable
figure of 500 votes already attained. the
IA delegates of Connecticut and the 16 OF
West Virginia already conceded to Bur-

Burton in the South and l6 counted for
Cummins in Nebraska. and the Sher-
man. Fairbanks, Burton. Weeks and
Cummins managers declare there Is nc
possible chance of a stampede to ROose-
Welt, because OF a safe working ma
jority of 600 votes
Interesting comments are made by the
managers of each candidate on the
chances of the others. Thus the Weeks
people give Burton 100, La Toilette 40
Sherman 116, Fairbanks %. Cummins 100
Root 30. Knox IS and Dupon 30. In view
of their own claims. this estimate is not
far out of the way. The Burton and
Sherman people also, both report much
under the surface activity for r. Cole
man Dupont. Of Delaware, as a business
mans candidate during the past few
days. and give him arQslnd forty or fifty
delegates. Justice Hughes not being a
candidate for the nomination. the sew
eral mana gers do not admit any particu-
lar votes for him anywhere, except per
haps in the South And the Sherman
Fairbanks, Weeks and Root people are
particularly opposed to him.
Roosevelt is not given more than fifty
votes in the convention at the start by
any of the managers, SO far as present
prospects are indicated. And during tho
coming month no important contests for
delegates in primaries are anticipated eX-

Luck,

Luck is that which has made your sue
cessful neighbor what he is and has con-
spired to prevent you from becoming
what you would like to be. Luck is good
or bad, according to whether you are
contemplating your neighbours successes
or accounting on your own failures.
Luck Is a handy little thing to have
around. for If it does not benefit you 1t
at least affords you an objective kicking
point. Also. the mere mention Of its
name relieves you of the necessity of
making many embarrassing excuses
Luck is a barb which may prevent dis
aster from poaching on your domains
but II 1t does not do this, you at least
have the satisfaction of impaling upon
it all reasons for your defeat,
Luck is perhaps more unlucky than
you are.-Judge.

T0DAY's BEAUTY talk

You can make delightful sham
poo with. very little effort and for a
very trifling cost if you get from
your druggist package of canthrox
and dissolve teaspoonful in a cup
of hot water. Your shampoo is now
ready. Just pour little at a time
on the scalp and rub briskly. This
creates an abundance of thick, white
lather that thoroughly dissolves and
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt. After rinsing, the hair dries
,quickl with a fluffiness that makes
it seem heavier than it is, and takes
on a rich luster and a seftness that
make arranging it a pleasure.-Ady.

Strenuous efforts are being made by
the several candidates for the presidency
who are conducting an active campaign
here to prevent any stampede to Roose-
Welt in the Republican national conven-
ton, and each claims that the number
and quality of pledged and unpledged
delegates favorable to them will make
impossible such a fight as occurred In
1872
Those close to or affiliated with the
respective movements to secure the nom-
nation of either Theodore E. Burton. OF
Ohio; John w. Weeks. of Massachusetts;
Albert B. Cummins. of Iowa; Charles w.
Fairbanks; of Indiana, or Lawrence Y.
Sherman, of Illinois, declare that not
only those men themselves are bitterly
opposed to Roosevelt but that the great
majority of the convention will be con-
servativeS who could not be swayed by
any circumstances that might arise in
Chicago to upset their carefully laid
plans and the promises made to them by
those giving allegiance. They point to
the character of the candidates men,
toned as evidence that the kind Of men
who would be drawn to them would not
be drawn away by impulse.
To Divide Southern Delegates.
agreement has been reached in several
States of the South to divide their votes
between Weeks, Fairbanks and Burton.
The idea. those in touch with these can
didates contend, is to pick men who
will profit by the reduction already made
in Southern representation and act eau
tiously in the convention SO as to re-
trieve the reputation of that section
of the Republican party and particularly
the national committee, before which the
contests will be few. according to pres
ent indications. Heretofore each can
didate has had a set of delegates from
each Southern State and those who con-
trolled the committee or convention have
seated their favorites.
This time the tendency Is to about
equally divide the delegations from Ala
bama, Tennessee. Virginia, North Caro-
lima. Georgia and Mississippi, so as to
give Burton. Weeks, and Fairbanks,
whose managers are exceedingly active
in that part of the country, from twenty
to twenty-five votes apiece. An agree
ment to do this Is not admitted. but the
managers for those three look for such
result All the delegates from the
South will go uninstructed.
The working forces OF the different
candidates here without exception. say
that the number of votes given favorite
sons alone will be one of the most potent
factors in offsetting Roosevelt Thus
they count 81 votes for Elihu Root on
the first ballot, Indiana for Fairbanks
with 90. Iowa for Cummlns with rs. Hi
nois for Sherman with IS. Ohio for Bur
ton with IS. Delaware for Dupont with
6. Wisconsin for La Toilette with 6,
Pennsylvania for Knox with 76, and the
Weeks people confidently look forward
with IS, making a total Of 429. Twenty
four votes already selected in Minnesota
and instructed for Cummins are added,
as are 10 in South Dakota, s in North
Carolina for La Toilette, 8 In New
Hampshire claimed for Weeks. and Il
conceded to Fairbanks in Kentucky. and
the whole number exceeds half of the
convention, or 800

Weeks Claims Sweeping.

Proceeding upon the hypothesis that
some of these votes might be lost after
the first ballot. the managers of the
several candidates figure that this will
be far more than discounted by the total
number counted upon by each as the re-
suit of work already done by them in
the preliminary campaign. The Weeks
men give the largest definite claims.
The manager of the campaign of the
Massachusetts Senator is o. f. Weller,
who ran for governor on the Republican
ticket in Maryland at the last election.
Also in Washington and actively inter-
ested in the Weeks campaign is George
II. Moses. former Minister to Greece.

Bureau and a delegate-at-large from
New Hampshire. 1t is stated for the
Senator that he will have 60 votes in
New England. "a in Missouri 10 in Kan

in Alabama, 6 in Tennessee. . in Ken
lucky, in Oklahoma, in Texas, in
Georgia. In Mississippi, in Virginia, S
in Washington. in Oregon. 4 in Cali
fornla, s in New York and 4 in New
Jersey-16S in all.
AS the Fairbanks people put down two
for themselves in New Hampshire, the
Burton managers contend the fourteen
delegates from Connecticut are for him
and Massachusetts, Is in the throes of a
primary fight to be decided April Is, with
two tickets in the field, one unpledged
and including Gov. Mccall and the other
pledged for Roosevelt, it may be said
that the claims of sixty delegates for
Weeks in New England Is somewhat
nebulous. Yet giving him 30 in his home
State, 10 in Rhode Island, in New
Hampshire, in Maine and in Yer
mont, he will make the figure predicted.
