today from Spray and taken
rooms at the Yarborough preparatory
the State Convention tomorrow. Many
other prominent Republicans, most of
them wearing Roosevelt buttons or

the lobbies of the hotels arc alive

COLUMBUS. May the
face of the early returns In Ohio's
first presidential preference primary
today. Col. Theodore Roosevelt led the
Republican ticket by to over
Taft and Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey, led Governor Harmon,
of Ohio, on the Democratic ticket by
about the same percentage.
These returns, however, were given
on a basis of complete figures from
little more than precincts out of
a total of precincts in the state.
President Taft appeared to have
carried Cincinnati by a large mar-
gin and also Toledo and Dayton,
among the larger cities. This was
more than offset by the vote given
Colonel Roosevelt in Cleveland and
other cities. The Roosevelt lead In
the north end of the state, it seemed,
would give the former president an
advantage which Mr. Taft could not
overcome by his vote in the south end
of the state including Cincinnati, his
home and the rural districts.
Senator received a
vote than politicians had
predicted for him, getting a
fraction of the vote cast In the
northern end of the state including
Cleveland.
Governor Wilson, like Colonel
was given his biggest vote in the
city of Cleveland and the surround-
counties. Governor Harmon poll-
ed a heavy vote Columbus, the
capital and also in his home city,
Harmon's campaign managers, de-
spite the early figures, declared that
their candidate had carried the state
through the heavy vote they expect-
ed had been given him In the country
districts. Governor Wilson's main
strength they said, had been in Cleve-
land, where Mayor Newton I. Par-
had waged a strong fight against
Harmon. Mayor Baker, however, in
a statement Issued by him at Cleve-
land insisted that Governor Wilson
had carried Ohio by a vote of to
