CANNON AHEAD
IN Ord DISTRICT
Little Chance for Rice to Over
come Lead; Garretson Beat
en- by Kline and Thompson

Indications at 1880 o'clock this af-
ternoon in the third congressional dis
trlct were that County Clerk Bernaro
NJ. Cannon and State Senator Thomas
Brown. both of this city. had been
elected to represent this district as
Democratic delegates to the national
presidential convention. Although
leading in Monmouth county, Melvin
A. Rice, the third contestant in the
race, was so far behind In Middiesex
county that ho was not expected to
secure sufficient votes in Ocean county
to bring him up to Cannon and
Brown, the two leaders.
There was little doubt this after
noon but what the two Johnson ad-
herents had been elected district dell
egates on the Republican ticket. With
Middlesex county complete. ninety
out of ninety-eight districts I'm Mon
mouth and twenty-five out of thirty
four districts I'm Ocean county avail
able. the candidates stood as follows:
William NJ. Thompson, 1892; William
III. Kline. 1922; Ferd Garretson. 3973;
Lewis S. Thompson, S625; David {.
Rose, 1894.
The Monmouth county figures with
eight districts missing for G. o. i.
district delegates follow: w. NJ.
Thompson, 2.059; l.. $. Thompson.
l.912; Kline. 1892; Garretson. 1,24S:
Rose 1.043.
With fifteen districts missing in
Monmouth county Melvin A. Rice was
leading the three Democratic oandi-
dates for district delegate. The fig-
ures were: Rice, 1852; Brown. GsS:
/ Cannon, 1876.
Returns from Ocean county with
twelve districts missing this after
noon found Garretson leading the
Republican district delegate caudi-
dates by a slight margin. The figureS
were: Garretson, 2T0; Rose, 2G7; w.
NJ. Thompson, 259; Kline, 251; l.. s.
Thompson, 234.
Although Garretson was leading in
Ocean county his lead Is not such as
would make up for the handicap
caused by Kline and w. III. Thomp<,
son getting a substantial'lead in Mtd-
dlesex county.
No figures on the Democratic dis
trict delegate contest In Ocean county
could be obtained today. The totals
! for the three men for the county OF
| Middlesex and ninety districts IN Mon
mouth found Cannon leading the eii-
ttire district with 2,743 votes. BroWn
was second with 1888 and Rice third
with 3S5. Rice was so far behind
that only exceptional gains in the re-
| maining county districts and Ocean
county could put him ahead of Gam
non or Brown.
Ocean county, however, has a bis
| Republican vote and the vote for the
| Democratic district delegate cardi-
| dates Is not expected to be sufficiently
heavy to allow Rice to pick up the
1900 votes necessary to put him IN
| the class with Cannon and Brown.
Thus indications are that although
Perth Amboy will not be represented
at the Republican national convention
! it will make up for it by having two
representatives at the Democratic
presidential convention in the persons
of County Clerk Cannon and Senator
| Brown.

HARDING LEADS
WOOD IN OHIO
Is 10000 Ahead of General in
Z State Primaries---V Vote in
Mass. for Organization Men

COLUMBUS, o.. April 2s.-Addi-
tional returns from yesterdays Presi-
dental primary election today gave
Senator Warren G. Harding a lead
of nearly 10000 votes over Major
General Yeonard Wood. The vote
cincts in the state gave Harding 102,z
762 and Wood. e2.97s.
The victory for Harding In the
southern part of the state was sur
prise. 1t was caused by the resent
ment of Cincinnati voters against
Daugherty. the Wood manager, and
Hynieka, the Republican boss of the
city, who had ordered his lieutenants
to throw the vote to Wood. They
did not do SO and Harding carried
the county. which was regarded as
lost to him, by 1000. Wood how
ever. carried Cleveland by 5000 in
the preferential vote and elected his
two candidates for district delegates.
Harding carried Cincinnati, Toledo,
Akron, and Wood Cleveland, Column
bus, Dayton, with youngstown In
doubt. He also received the bulk of
the Republican vote in the rural dis
tricts.
Wood secured the wet vote which
He further had the support of the
colored vote, which is ordinarily re-
garded as marketable
1t was significant of the attitude of
the Anu-Saloon League that it threw
its influence to Wood. He carried
Westerville, the home of that con-
Germ, by five votes, though he strad-
died the issues In his speeches.
The Democratic primaries were rem
dered interesting because of the vote
given to Governor Edwards, the wet
Governor of New Jersey who was an
added starter" his name being writ
ten in Democratic ballots by the cleo
tors IN most of the cities. He prob
ably received 1000 votes in the State.
Governor Cox, who is indexed as
moist. and was opposed by the Anti
Saloon League, had no opposition ex-
cept from voters who wanted to ex-
press their preference for an "out and
out Wet like Governor Edwards.
