And . tth nearly a week of th. Ohio cam patan yet to be fouaht. both candidates r. cllmlna- th. Buckey State by a safe majority. Onto a prlmart.a will b held on Tues day, M'r It. Th. delrate then chosen ar. th. blffK.at political cam. yet to b baased before the Chlraao conv.n lion meet, and for that reaaon both ar concentrating- their efforts to carry th. primary election. Doable Interest centers around th. Ohio fight, however. bMtiM Ohio la th. Prealdent's own stats and a Rooaevelt victory there would place a heavy handicap on th President, should a bolt of Southern deles;ata over be started. Taft Mea lis Majority. The Stat of Ohio will send 4S dele Kates to th. Chicago convention, all but aix of them to b chosen at th pri maries on May XL If Prealdent Taft ran bold thoa delegates now Instructed for htm. and thoa. otherwise pledged, he can safely count on the nomination If he gets a majority of the delegates from bis own state. The Taft leaders assert positively that th Ohio delega tion will b favorable to the President by a substantial majority, though they io not. aa formerly, lay claim to 44 out of th 4S delegates. On the other hand, the Roosevelt managers at Washington hav been a- ured and reinsured by Walter Brown, the Knoaevelt manager la Ohio, that th Colonel will get not Iras than two thirds of the delegates chosen at th primary, and will get th six delegates ut large, rhoaen at the state convention. June 2. Thla assurance has also been aiven by James R. Garfield, second In .umniand. As th day of the Ohio primaries ap proaches. t becomes more and more ap parent that Ohio Is th last crucial itate yet to select delegates to th Chi ogo convention. The Koo.ev.lt man agers at first set up the claim that Illinois would s-ttle the fight, but In pit. of Roovelt'a victory In that state, th Prealdent picked up enough delegates, a few at a tint, to offset the effect of that defeat, and then I'ennaylvanla was picked out aa th itate to detertntn. th contest. itaadtrap A K.I a Ovneaaw. But aicain the same thing happened, and while Taft loat moat of the Teon- ) Kama delegates, to hi surprise, as .ell aa to the eurprtae of the Hoosevelt managers, he mad. up for that loss In mailer tata. and gradually swelled his hat of delegates, until he had over vine tit han.ltrap. Thrn M4chutts mas selected aa ! h- state to decide as between Tsft and ftooeevelu It waa contended that th. result of the primary In the Old Bay :te would eliminate Taft or Roo. riu But It did neither. Th state wss unexpectedly rloe; th result was cuu ru.tng. and neither candidal suffered u a a defeat aa to make his nomina tion ImiioMiMa, Thus It happened thai turee pitotal states f.llrd to become piot. "! II now remains for Ohio lo aw what it can do In the way of .wina-toc the Chicago convention. The 1'rrsl.l.nt s friends admit that he -an not well afford to lo. hla own a tat A.

A Knoaevelt victory In Ohio would be more dangerous he.-sus. of the moral effect than on account of th actual number of delegates gained. That is admitted by th Rooaevelt managers, snd primarily It la the moral effect they are after. For if they can go Into the President's home state, after he haa made a personal " cam paign of unusual vigor, and clean up at lit primaries, they can well con tend lhat the President. If renominat ed, will make a weak candidal In the Kail' campaign. In the Ohio fight the Taft managers are counting heavily on state pride.

Prealdent's own state will repudiate him after hla first term. The Roose velt managera assert lhat state prlda will cut very lllti figure In the pri mary campaign this year, and thev profess to believe that Ohio is as strongly anti-Taft as wad Pennsyl vania. They, of course, overlook the fact that President Taft had not. he gun his active campaign until after the Pennsylvania primaries wer held. Various opinions ar advanced as to what might follow a Roosevelt vic tory In Ohio. Roosevelt partisans, of course, declare It would Insure the Colonel's nomtnatlon at Chicago; Taft partisans soma of them assert thst such a result would not be fatal to their candidal. There ar others, however not particularly enamored of either Taft or Roosevelt, who bellev that Taft defeat in his own state would lead to the nomination of a third candidate, either Justice Hughes, of New York, or Senator cummins, of Iowa. Tale, t'aaaidat. Talked f. Those who figure on the possibility of a third candidal. presume that President Taft. In th event of his failure to carry Ohio, would recog nlie th. futility of fighting longer, and would withdraw from t!i contest In favor of a third csndMate prob ab!v Hughes, though posslhly Cum nilus. now lhat th Iowa Senator has come out squarely against the re. aH of Judges and recall of Judicial deci sions. If the President should prefer Hughes, he might readily relieve th Justice of any embarrassment by sug gesting fcls nam and paving the way for his retirement from the S.iprem Bench. If he preferred Cummin, h could say so. and no on would be embarrassed. As campaigns hav been fought out this year, predictions hav been of Ut ile value; and prediction on Ohio can not reliab'y be made. The predle llona of the campaign managers ar worthies, for similar predictions hsve been made aith respect to every Im portant stat.. and botri sides have been wrong. No it la with Ohio. But up to the last minute, the Taft and Koose v.lt managers evidently Intend tv Isy claim to O'lo. with the result likely la doubt until ID vote ar counted.

The section was not adopted until after several hour of debate, which many times ran Into personalities. Th section reads: "Any member of the party who op poses political action or advocates crimes, sabotage or other methods of violence as a weapon of the working class to aid in its emancipation shall b. expelled from membership In th party.

(Special.) Neglect to inform a steamship com pany of the value of the contents of a trunk at the time of shipment releases It from liability for loss at destination. Such was the ruling af Judge Lehy. sit ting In extra session of the Superior Court In the trial of an action begun two years ago by Charles A. Grimm, of the Northern Commercial Company, against the Alaska Pacific Steamship Company to recover $1740.35. th value of furs In two trunks stolen from the dock after their arrival here.

The court holds that the statutes applies to common car rier. In his Judgment the steamship com pany wwa as much a common carrier. In Its custody of th trunks after they had been unloaded, as it waa while they were aboard the ship. Attorneys for Grimm will appeal.

Unfavorable on Excise Tax on In comes ALso Agreed Upon Di vision Is on Party Lines. WASHINGTON. May 17. The Senate finance committee authorised today a favorable report on the Lodge substi tute for the House free sugar bill, and an unfavorable report on the so-called House excise Income tax bill, which proposed a tax on Incomes in excess of $5000 a year. The Lodge sugar bill would eliminate the differential and Dutch standard from the tariff and leave the duties otherwise practically as at present Senator Simmons offered a substitute sugar bill, prepared by the Democratic membera of the committee. It pro posed a reduction of existing duties by about one-third, but was voted down by a strict party vote of six to eight Senator Smoot, who had a bill of his own. reserved the right to present It In the Senate. All the bills would re serve the SO per cent discount to Cuba. The sugar and excise reports were presented to the senate later by Lodge and Cullom. Senator Simmons an nounced that he would report for the minority on theBe measures as soon as possible. The committee postponed its vote on the wool tariff revision bill from next Tuesday until Thursday, May 23. There was no time suggested by the committee for a vote in the Senate on anv of the tariff bills, nor any renewed effort toward effecting adjournment of Congress before the National party conventions In June.
