Roosevelt Wins.
OF seventeen newspapers in wide
ly separated parts of the uniten
States conducting presidential pri-
maries similar to the one recently
held by the Tribune, eleven have re-
ported results showing an over
whelming sentiment for Theodore
Roosevelt as the Republican NOM
NEE. In most instances, tho not all,
it was Charles Evans Hughes who
ran second to the colonel, while in
the polls of four upstate New York
papers, and OF one in Kansas and one
in Missouri, he led Roosevelt.
OF the total number of votes cast
in these seventeen newspaper pri-
maries Colonel Roosevelt got 1881
and Justice Hughes 1892. No other
candidate showed any considerable
strength, the polls seeming to estab-
lish it as the sentiment Of the country
east and west that the fight at Chi
cago must lie between these two lead
ers. Nowhere did Roosevelt 20 down
before favorite son, while Hughes
did in three instances.
Elihu Root usually ran third in
the counts, tho in few instances
some favorite son forced him down
to fourth place, but nowhere did he
receive enough ballots to make him
an important factor in the popular
choice.-New York Tribune.

THE GREAT NAVAL BATTLE.

At the beginning of the war in Eu-
rope every thought was centered on
he navies of England and Germany
1t was along this line that all peo-
pies expected early developments
While there were few naval en-
gagements, they were minor and i'm
material, both as to the units en-
gagged and as to the effects.
These first engagements were be-
tween the ships of Germany that were
out at sea when the war began and
the ships that Great Britain sent out
after them. Soon all the ships Ger
many had out at sea were captured,
sunk or interned. When that was
over the naval activities ceased, ex-
cept for skirmishes here and there in
the North sea and the submarine cam
paign in which Germany has been SO
aggressive.
The reading world had about come
to the conclusion that there would be
no big sea fights. 1t was argued
that Germany would not risk any
great portion Of her fleet in open
battle with England. Notwithstand-
ing this conclusion there have been
reports recently that the German
fleet had gone out into the North
sea presumably to offer battle with
the English ships. These reports
were not taken seriously by many
and for this reason the recent great.
est naval fight of all history came
as complete surprise to the busy
world.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys in
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
uisease OF brain or lungs.
