SOLID DELEGATION
WASHINGTON. I). C, April 15. -(Special.)
Wo6drow Wilson won a
sweeping victor- in the democratic
primaries in Pennsylvnna and the Inst
doubt that he will be nominated for
president at the Baltimore convention
has disappeared. Advices received
show that he will have 70 of the 7C
delegates and when the complete re
turns are received it is probable tint
the Xevv Jersey governor will have
the solid delegation of 76 votes. Sixty
four district delegates were elected
yesterday. The convention that will
name the twelve delegates at large
will be controlled by Wilson men hy
more than two-thirds majority.
The Clark ticket seemed to make its
best run in Philadelphia where it met
decisive defeat in every district.
Kvery effoit of the interests that are
fighting Governor Wilson could not
avail to obscure the issue or deceive
the democratic voters of Pennsyl
vania. Machine politicians with their
triple alliance were unablo to muster
even respectable strength by pooling
the fortunes ot nil three of their can
didates, Clark, Harmon and Under
wood. William Randolph Hearst who is
backing Soaker Clark in bis offorts
to mako himself boss of the national
democratic party was unable to make
intrigues effective in the Keystone
state. Tho special interests that aro
fighting Wilson because they respect
his sincerity and know what u practi
cal man he is, they all did their best
but they weie unable to throttle tho
voice of tho progressive democrats m
the primary. Governor Wilson is as
yet the only democratic candidate
who has ns many as three delegates
instructed for him except by the can
didates' own home state or by some
stato immediately contiguous to it.
Speaker Clark has the vote of Mis
souri, his homo state, that of the ad
joining state of Illinois and ho won a
partial victory in tho two adjoning
stntos of Kansas and Oklahoma. Tvyo

KUGENE, Or., AprH lii, Holding
President TnftAip to ridicule as a'

ease and Colonel Roosevelt ns n man
of many words, but few deeds, Sena
tor Robert M. La Fotletto carried
this city by storm today before a
large audience in tho theater, com
posed of Oregon University students
and people from miles around.
''Within the Inst dozen years n
mighty power has been built up, which
names our senators, presidents, and
congressmen," said La Folle(te. "You
have lost your government. Ihe
question is can 00,000,000 people re

"During no other administration
have the people lost ground ,so rapidly
as in the present one.
Taft CJiUit of Kaso.
"William Hownrd Toft was bovn
in luxury. He never had to work n
day in his life. He was not forced
to -work bis way through college as
many of yon are doing here. -TtnaT
seemed his lot in life to have every
thing brought to him on a cushion,
including the presidency of this re
public. "He sat back and let others do the
work, and tho mighty money power
built up for him a structure of cor
poration lawyers for u cabinet. One
day's work of investigation would
have shown him -which way the tide
was setting but he did not wnnt .o do
that day's work, so wo have gone
deeper in trouble than before.
Worked for Tnft.
"I bad against Taft, nothing. When
he was nominated I wired him that I
would support him as I believed him
more progressive than the convention
which nominated him. I worked for
him until I could go no further with
out finding myself in the camp of the
enemy. I am willing to die outside
the breastworks but not to go over
and quit.
"Colonel Theodoie Roosevelt
preuehed vigorously against the trtist
evil, but was short on deeds. Tho
doing calls for another man. Let us
look the issue square in (hi' face. It
is not the timo to vote for a halo of
six or seven years ago.
"When Colonel Roosevelt enmo into
