12 COLONEL'S OHIO VICTORY GROWS Harmon’s Lead Over Wilson, However, Reduced to Not Over 12.000 on Delegates. COLUMBUS. OHIO. May 23.- Be- ’ la ted returns from Ohio's primary only . serve to emphasize the victory of Colo- I nel Roosevelt over Ptesident Taft, while on the Democratic side the situation is reversed, latest returns gradually cut ting down the substantial lead which [ Governor Harmon held on incomplete , returns, and although he has safely won on the preferential vote, it is esti mated his plurality over Wilson will not exceed 12,000 on the district dele gates Rest information today gives Roosevelt 32 and Taft 10 These fig ures may be changed slightly on an of ficial count, but fiot materially. It poems from present indications that the Roosevelt forces will control the state convention by a vote of 38. to 372. Latest returns indicate Governor Judson Harmon has won 27 district delegatee against 15 for Wilson. The Harmon forces will undoubtedly con trol the state convention, and it is ex pected that they will invoke the unit rule to give Harmon the solid support of the Ohio delegation. T. R.'s Strength General. Analysis of the returns shows that Colonel Roosevelt’s strength was not confined to any one particular part of the state. He ran well among the farmers and in the industrial and min ing communities, while in conserva tive urban localities, where the presi dent had hoped to carry all before hint, Roosevelt sentiment was pronounced, Roosevelt managers made much of an incident involving the town of White House, which gave the colonel a big majority over Mr. Taft. Roosevelt supporters regarded this as an omen of good fortune. In Adams county, where hundreds of voters were disqualified a year ago because of election corruption. Roose velt ran ahead of the national execu tive. Governor Harmon has issued a state- j ment saying that he will have at least | 40 of Ohio’s 48 delegates in the Balti- | more convention.

Brown's two successful campaigns for governor, and an ardent advocate of Woodrow Wilson in the presidential primary campaign in Georgia, specifi cally dentes that he entertains guber natorial ambition now. or that he en tertained it prior to the overthrow of the Wilson hosts in.Geotgia recentlx Mr. Smith declares that if every vote in Georgia uad been east for Wilson he still would not be a candidate for gov ernor. He says lie long ago promised his vote to a personal friend, and he would consider it a dishonorable thing to break that word by opposing him With regard to his congressional booinlet. so called, Mr Smith admits that many friends have written and spoken to him on that subject, ami have urged him to oppose William Schley Howard. He does not say that he will not be a candidate against Mr. Howard; neither does he say that be will be He merely corroborates the story that Uteri' are friends actively advocating him for that office. The Atlanta man does not object to having his political fortunes discussed by friend or foe. so long as the facts are kept straight: but he does object to the insinuation in some quarters that he has traded his former Joe Brown views for a new set of Hoke Smith views, in order that he might obtain some office In supporting Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Smith says he followed his firm conviction of the right—that he was for Woodrow Wilson, and had so announced publicly, long before In derwoods name was mentioned in Georgia Mr. Smith says that when he does get ready to plunge politically, every body will be given ample and sufficient notice. One of the present railroad commis sioners Paul B. Trammell—seems likely to be returned to office without protest from any quartet. Mr, Tram- I mell is serving an unexpired term I brought about some six months ago by i the promotion of Commissioner War ner Hill to the supreme court bench: and it seems gen“rallj agreed that he shall have a full term without a fight.
