He will be the nominee for the Republican campaign at Chicago. He was nomin ated four years ivo without the vote of Illinois, Pennsylvania. Indiana, New York or Wisconsin." Representative William R. McKinley, director of the National Taft bureau. "The avalanche victory for Colonel Roosevelt In Pennsylvania spoke the final word and made the repudiation of the Taft capdidHcy complete." State ment at Roosevelt headquarters. "When the returns are received It Is probable that the New Jersey Govern or will have the solid delegation of 76 votes." Statement at Woodrow Wilson headquarters. Crk Claim 17 Vote. "Speaker Clark's friends made prac tically no fight in Pennsylvania. He Is assured of at least 17 votes." Statement at Clark headquarters. The statement from Roosevelt head quarters refers briefly to Pennsylva nia. Tho quotation given virtually Is all on that subject. The rest is devot ed to a review of all the contests to date, setting out the claims of the Roosevelt managers. Director McKlnley's statement, be sides referring to the "third term." says In part: "The outcome' of the Pennsylvania primaries Is plainly Indlcstlve of the fact that National Issues are playing only a small part In some states in the campaign for the Republican nomin ation for President. McKlaley Accuse Roosevelt. "Instead of constructive statesman ship being put forth in an effort to solve the problems before the country and as a bid for votes on the ground of merit, a nation-wide campaign of wilful and malicious misrepresentation. Tilllf Icatlon and assault on the Presi dent of the I'nlted States has been substituted. Such a campaign, amount ing In fact to a conspiracy not only to humiliate the President personally, but to commit the Republican party to rank socialism, has not only been coun tenanced, but conducted by ex-President Roosevelt. , "The fact that this candidate now is claiming to wear the mantle of Abra ham Lincoln Is evidence that the acme of demagoglsm in this country has been reached. "Those states which have yet to elect delegates to the Republican National convention in Chicago might Just as well realise now that the republic a well aa the Republican party has been placed In Jeopardy by the Issues raised by Theodore Roosevelt. Taft Mew Bee Malorlty. "Including Pennsylvania, which, ac cording to latest advices has given President Tsft at least 31 votes in the National convention, the President has today S4 delegates Instructed for or pledged to his renominatlon. He need only 17 more 'delegates to Insure his renomlnatlon. He is already assured of Stt more delegatea making hi sup port In the Chicago convention 746 delegate or more than 200 majority." The statement from the Wilson head quarters claims for Governor Wilson a majority of the Democratic delegates thus far selected and says in part: "With the sweeping victory scored In the Pennsylvania primaries yester day. Governor Wilson took the lead in the pre-conventlon race for the Demo cratic nomination Governor Wilson's strength in the Baltimore convention Is represented now hy 143 votes. The dele gate column in favor of the New Jer sey executive will continue to receive large accessions." ( lark ! e Kio.

Massachusetts is to have its first Presidential primary on April JO. and It la predicted that Taft will have a decided advantage, winning about 26 of the delegates to 10 for Roosevelt. The blttorness engendered between the President and the ex-President has caused an attempt at harmony by holding "get-together" meetings, but they have been sllmly attended and have been marked by some hot speeches which only aggravated the Ill feeling.

Efforts of the Roose velt men to secure an extra session of the Legislature to pass Presidential primary laws has been blocked by Governor Eberhard, who is a Taft man. While Taft has a majority of the district delegates so far elected in Mis souri, the prospects are that Roosevelt will control the . state convention, to be held April 25, and capture the dele gates at large, as well as a good share of the district delegates remaining to be elected. The Roosevelt men are making an aggressive campaign in New Hamp shire, aided by Governor Bass, one of the seven, but the New York Herald predicts that all the eight delegates will be for Tart. Election of a solid Taft delegation from New Jersey is said to be a rea sonably safe prediction, although this is disputed by the Roosevelt and La Follette men. T. K. Lonlnar Ground In Ohio. Ohio is the scene of a hard fight by Roosevelt, but his forces . have been depleted by desertions to La Follette and he is handicapped by the Taft men's control of the state committee.
