First Presidential
Primary-Iuesdayin
New Hampshire
Roosevelt. Assured of
Five Delegates Even If
Entire Opposition Wins
D. the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press.
CONCORD, N. H., March 9.-Cer-
tainty that President Roosevelt will
receive-willingly or not-a handful
Of delegates pledged to his renom-
ination for as long as he wants them
was evident tonight as New Hamp-
shire's flrst-in-the-N Nation presiden-
tial primary moved quietly toward its
ballot box climax Tuesday.
The contest stood out clearly as
President Roosevelt against the field,
but even if all the opposition can
didates were elected-an apparently
unlikely possibility-he still would
be assured of five delegates. And,
under New Hampshire law, delegates
elected as pledged must stick to their
candidates until released.
Complete Slate Not Filed.
The mathematical certainty that
at least part of the States Demo-
cratic delegation would go to the
convention pledged to the President
developed from the failure. of the
opposition to file a complete slate.
OF the Is candidates for eight places
as delegates at large, II are pledged
to President Roosevelt, to Post
master General Farley, to Vice
President Garner and are running
as unpledged.
New Hampshire has only two con-
gressional districts, each of which
elects two delegates. In the 1st dis
trict two Roosevelt-pledged dele
gates faced opposition from one
Farley delegate and one unpledged.
In the I'd, there were three candi-
dates for the two places, and all of
them were pledged to the President.
In the Republican primary chief
interest was focused on the candi-
dacy of j. Howard Gile of Nashua,
pledged to Thomas E. Dewey, al
though asked by the New York dis
trict attorney to withdraw.
Barometer Of Strength.
Mr.. Dewey's request stripped Mr..
Giles candidacy of some of its polit-
lcal significance, but his vote prob
ably will be watched closely as a
possible barometer of Mr.. Dewey's
strength.
Another likely test of the Dewey
pulling power loomed in the candi-
dacy of James P. Richardson of
Hanover, who, while running as un-
pledged, has expressed a preference
for the New Yorker.
With all the other Republican
candidates running as unpledged,
local interest was stimulated by
speculation as to which four of eight
IN the field for delegates at large
would be chosen. The group in
cluded Senator Bridges, Gov. Muir
ply, Representative Tobey. former
Senator Moses and former Gov.
Spaulding. Several of them have
indicated they would support Sen
ator Bridges for the Republican
presidential nomination.

A Wor thwhile Purge

A cleaner and lar more Satl>fac-
tory registration should result from
the sweeping new enrolment OF vot-
ers ordered 10" Vance county by the
board of elections last Saturday. 1t
will certainly be more accurate than
the old one. which contained the
names Of many persons who have
long since died OF moved from the
county.
The 1889 General Assembly made
it optional with local boards as to
whether or not they would have an
out-and-out new Sjgn-up o. entruSt
to the registrars the task OF sitting
voters. The latter process could
have produced confusion, inaccura-
cies. and. where desired, even IL
regularitieS. Names could have been
left off puypoSely and an alibi OF
oversight set up that could not have
been diSproved Citizens could have
supposed their names were on the
books only 10 appear on election day
and find that they were disqualified.
: Under the plan for complete new
registration all OF this confusion and
uncertainty will be eliminated. AS
it is. every voter will know that he
must register again il ne wishes to
vote. He can 60 to his precinct reg
iStrar and see that his name is IN
scribed and know that ne is on the
safe side.
Ample notice will be given to cit
liens that they mist get their names
recorded now ii they would vote.
Had the JOB been entrusted to reg
istrars. one still would have felt
certain by going in person to assure
his status, and since that we're being
done anyhow, Use OF RIW books will
work but little additional hardship
and require very little more effort.
Separate books for Democrats and
Republicans are to be used in this
new registration, and new and
still different record started for the
general election in November. While
the books will be open again before
the fall balloting, the whole matter
can be arranged now and all at the
same time.
Action OF the election board will,
we believe, meet with the approval
of the public GcncE2lly. 1t fits in
well with the abolition of absentee
voting in primaries, and while new
registration was not made manda-
tory by the 1899 act, that is probably
what the legislature had in mind
and desired 1t is the fairest pro
cedure that could have been adopt
ed.

CONSTIPATION has been vari-

hazard of chess Players" as (by

ailment;" as the Course of civiliza-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Mrs. C. E. B.: what is the diff
ference between warts and moles?"
Answer-Both are elevations of
the skin. Warts are new growths-
benign tumors. Moles are more like
an hypertrophy of the skin. Moles
are congenital, pigmented and rich
in blood vessels. Warts appear at
any time in life-not cong, .lital.
All moles should be removed-they
are potentially dangerous, some
more so than others-by surgical
removal or electric desiccation.
Warts are removed by application
OF astringents or the use of the
x-ray.

ton. Tie doctor says his colon has
not got aUiggle left in it; it is just
worn out from all the salts he has
taken and 1t must haze period Of
rest, but Bert misses his salts"
This letter indicates to me a
whole volume of information about
constipation.
True and False
There are at least two kinds Of
constipation-true and false. False
constipation is greatly in the ma
jcrity. The principal cause of it is
well. indicated in this letter-the
habitual use of cathartics of any
kind.
Cathartics simply irritate the in
side of the bowel and make the con-
stlpatee feel that there is foreign
matter present there and that it
ought to be gotten rid of by more
cathartics. He, therefore, takes
more cathartics and then feels more
uneasy. 1t is a true vicious circle.
One of the most surprising things
in the world is to see how promptly
one OF these cases becomes entirely
normal if he can just be persuaded
to leave off his cathartics for a
while.
The symptoms of false constipa-
ton are we'll illustrated in this let
ter because the only symptoms are
what the patient thinks of the con-
dition. These people are likely to
be morose. They think they are
morose because they are consti-
pated. The fact is, they are con-
stlPated because they are morose.

is atrophic and does not have the
natural oil. Rubbing the skin night

commended.
