PHILADELPHIA, April 14Colonsl
Theodore Roosevelt's sweeping victory In
Pennsylvania at Saturday'a primary elec
tion kept growing today aa the returns
continued to come In.
Incomplete returns from every district
gave tne former president sixty-five of
the states seventy-six delegate in ths
republican convention. The Roosevelt
supporters were claiming sixty-seven and
later returns may carry the figures to
that total. Cblond Roosevelt woo fifty
three of the sixty-four district national
delegate and his followers elected
enough delegates to the state convention
to give them control of that body. Ths
stats convention will name twelve dele-gatee-at-largs.
Oovernor Woodrow Wilson of Nsw Jer
sey, who had no organised opposition,
will have seventy-four of the sevsnty-slx
delegate from Pennsylvania la th dem
ocratic national convention. In the Elev
enth congressional district the two demo
cratic national delegates elected are fa
vorable to Oovernor Judson Harmon, but
they are nrt pledged.
Politicians look upon the triumph of
Colonel Roosevelt with astonishment.

Ths regular republioan organisation

Penrose, which has withstood ths fury

LINCOLN, April li.-(Speclal.)-Th
closing week of the primary campaign

had been anticipated a few weeks back.
While La Folletts has departed for ths

left a number of lieutenants behind who
are speaking In hie behalf. W. B. An

schedule,
Clark Wsats Lancaster.
Th C'.rk men are particularly anxious
to carry Lincoln and Lancaster county,
sa they aay to "dispell the Illusion" that
Bryan la for Wilson. - The moral effect
of carrying Lincoln, they aasert. will be
worth as much to Clark aa ths delega
tion from the atate, hence they are con
centrating forces on Lancaster county.
The Wilson men are active, though thsy
have as yet announced no speaking dates.
Not so much la heard of the Harmon
campaign here? aa that Is being con

One of the prettiest little scraps that

on between R. U Metcalfe and John H,
Morehead, democratic candidates for ths
nomination for governor. Circulars sent
out among ths Germane urging them w
work for Morehead on account of his po
sition on the liquor question havs stirred
up Metcslfe snd his friends, snd Inci
dentally caused a whole lot of worry to
other democrats, for they have been
striving desperately to keep the liquor
question out of the present campaign.
While thla circular may not develop so
wordy a controversy aa the I. J. Duna-

leaders really fear It will have a worse
effect.

High" Army Positions
Will Be Filled Soon
WASHINGTON. April 14. President
Taft soon will be called upon to select
an officer of high rank to command the
eastern division of the army, as well as
to name an officer to the rank of major
general to ajeceed General Frederick D.
Grant, who died recently In New Tork.
Three namee already have been sug
gested as commanders of the eastern
division. In the order of their chances
they are: Major General Thomas H.
Barry United States military sademy.
superintendent: Major General William
H. Carter, assistant chief of the general
staff, and Brigadier General Tasker K
Bliss, commanding the Department of the
East st New Tork. General Carter had
been picked to command the central divi
sion, but these plana might be easily
changed.
Practically all the brigadier generals
seem to be possibilities tot the promotion
to the major generalship. Brigadier Gen
eral Frederick Funston, commanding the
Department of tha Luzon, la the senior
among the brigadiers. Ha la only 47 years
old and will not retire until- r2. This
latter phase may serve to prevent his
getting the position, sa that would tend
to block the promotion of officers older
than himself.

ings damaged. Reports cam la today,
of stock perishing In ths open.
