JOHNSON MAKES
GAINS IN INDIANA
Senator Winds Up Campaign
With Big Meetings on Eve
\ OF Primary.

INDIANAPOLIS. May the most
strenuous primary campaign ever
conducted In the State closed yester-
day. and the voters OF Indiana will
today express their preference at the
polls.
No candidates for the Presidency
are named on the Democratic ballot
while the Republican ballots bear
names OF Senator Hiram w. John
son, OF California: Major-General
Leonard Wood. Governor Frank o.
Lowden. OF Illinois, and Senator War
rem @. Harding, OF Ohio.
Although the Presidential race
among the four principal aspirants on
the G.. o. p, ticket occupies the chief
Interest and has attracted national
attention because II Is regarded as
coming at a critical time and at the
turning point in the great struggle.
and therefore will reflect national
sentiment in favor OF the one who
gains the verdict in this central State.
other races have added to the spir-
tied night In the Hoosier, common
wealth.
Four Democrats and three Repub-
licans are out for the nomination for
governor.
Senator James =. Watson IL un-
opposed for denomination among the
Republicans, and Thomas TagEart
will receive the Democratic nomina-
tion unopposed.
In addition the thirteen districts of
the State will nominate their candi-
dates for Congress which, with q
number OF city elections. insures a
heavy vote.
In the Presidential night the losers
cannot blame IL onto not having made
sufficient campaign. All aspirants
have stumped the State from border
to border and all were here in the
state at the same time last week
pounding their message to the voters.
Harding and Lowden finished their
campaigns Saturday, while johnson
and Wood remained in the State,
both working on a flying schedule.
It is conceded by those in close
touch with the situation that the night
for FIRST honors has narrowed down
as between Johnson and Wood. The
latter had the race apparently sewed
up a month ago. but the Californian
has come with wonderful squirt
within the last two weeks and has
worked up enthusiasm in his behalf
to a high pitch.

BRITISH LIFT BAN ON
COMBED WOOL EXPORTS

LONDON, May News has boen
received in Bradford from official
sources that the embargo which has
hitherto rested on the export Of high
quality combed wool has been raised.
All qualities can now be exported
except to Boishevist Russia-and 1t
Is expected that the sale of high
quality wool to the United States will
speedily increase and thus assist in
raising the value OF the pound ster-
ling in America.
For over three years the export Of
combed wool has been restricted to
the low qualities in order to enable
the textile industry OF Great Britain
to retain a sufficient quantity to
keep their spinners and looms work
ing, and this announcement of the
board of trade has been received with
much Joy in Bradford and other wool
exporting centers.

CIGAR PRICES GO UP

price.
The smokers fayorlte weed costs
from 8 to 10 per cent more in most
OF Boston's tobacco stores The rea-
SON given for the advance is that
cigars have jumped 81 per 1000, and
that the price of tobacco has crept
upward along with tho cost of labor
and cigar boxes.

TWO CANDIDATES TIED
IN HYATTSVLLE VOTING

HYATTSVILLE, Md. May A.
Councilman T. Hammond Welsh. as
sistant secretary OF the Hyattsville
Building Association was yesterday
elected mayor of Hyattsville for a
term of one year, defeating the in
cumbent, Matthew F.. Halloran. Coun-
Gilman Welsh's majority was twenty
seven.
In the first ward Joseph T. Tritts
received. according to the official re-
turns. sixty-one votes against sixty
for Councilman John A. Johnson for
the two-ycar councilmanic term. A
recount in this ward is likely to be
made on the ground that one ballot
showed votes for both candidates for
mayor, while the voter also chose
johnson. The law is plain that where
candidates are grouped only that
group in which the voting is defec-
tive-in the case where two mayors
were voted for-can be rejected. and
that the ballot is legal so far as
Johnson is concerned and should have
been counted for him. This would
make the vote a tie. 81 to 81 in this
ward.
A tie also resulted in the contest
in the second ward for the two-yesr
councilmanic term. former Mayor Ed

the United States.

All went well until the wagons

now Union Point the wagons with the
heavy machinery mired and stuck in
a mudhole, from which they could
not be eXtricated until the following
spring, when the roads dried hard and
firm so that the wheels could be dug
out. Exaspersted at the state of af-
fairs it was decided to build a rail
road to Athens.
The charter Of the Georgia railway
was granted by the legislature in De-
cember. 1888. Strange to say. the
proposition to build the railroad
seemed to have encountered serious
opposition. The citizens Of Lexing-
ton, Ga, objected to u railroad on ac-
count OF the noise Il made and its
frightening stock. They would not
allow the railroad to pass nearer
than four miles TO the town.
The War Department of the United
States took notice and sent out two

Investigate the railroad.

The road as originally intended
was to run from Augusta. the head OF

Union Point to Greensborough. These
plans were afterward changed SO the
road would connect at a point which
