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-

gathered at the seventeen-
th Annual Convention of the National
Association of Manufactures of the
United States at the
Hotel New York City, on May
and The convention marks
the opening of the greatest
campaign ever inaugurated in
this country to Improve the efficiency
of American industrial methods by
educating both workers and employ-
The employers, their assistants
and the workmen will meet, for
on the common ground that
industrial accidents are their mutual
enemies.
Among the special features which
were arranged for the occasion
three motion picture films, each
of which has its own lesson on the
effect and remedy. The first
shows the occurrence of an accident in
a factory with its attendant injury,
and the logical effect of the casualty
both upon the worker and bis family
or relatives. This film was es-
prepared for the National
Association of Manufacturers and was
followed by a film showing the
practical application and the use of
prevention devices on a great
number of machines In the plant of
the Drown Sharpe Manufacturing
Company, of Providence, Is-
land. The pictures prove as clearly
as would a personal visit of
to any plant the practicability of
adopting remedies tor at least seven-
per cent of the total number
of Industrial which occur
in the United States every year.
The other motion picture film is en-
titled at and
comprises the result of a careful In-
Into the field of practical
life-saving apparatus, as promoted by
the various steamship
companies. The pictures also In-
some of the latest and most
adaptable forms of rescue apparatus
which a. i of particular interest at this
time.
This convention was the first of
u series which the Association will
hold primarily for educational
poses, on the question of promoting
Industrial efficiency. For more than
two years the organization has been
actively engaged in the field of
dent prevention and compensation for
the workers; during that period its
Committee on Accident Prevention
and Workmen's Compensation has
completed and published in book form
the of an exhaustive
study of the various safety
appliances, and systems of workmen's
Co insurance. The work
has been widely commended and its
recommendations have rendered
able assistance to the numerous State
Commissions considering the subject
for purposes of legislation. The Com-
also given much personal
assistance to these bodies and will
make a full report at the convention.
Resides the motion picture films
there was arranged in the Colonial
Room of the hotel an Accident
Exhibition consulting or ti-
most 2.000 photographs, a large
of working methods of safety
and the greater portion of
the safety-at-sea apparatus shown in
the motion pictures. The Wisconsin
State Industrial Commission has
contributed to the ex-
and the States Steel
Corporation has arranged an
array of working models from its
various plant. The
steamship companies will have ex-
perts on hand to explain the details of
the safety-at-sea exhibition.
Addresses on the various branches
of the efficiency campaign were
delivered C. and
James A of the Association's
Workmen's Compensation , together
Committee on Prevention and
with an address by J. Philip Bird,
general manager of the Association.
A special department of cooperative
information has also been organized
to afford the employers in attendance,
an opportunity further to equip their
plants and understand the operation
of practically safety appliances.
Another branch in the national
to promote the welfare and
efficiency of and workers
which will be touched on at the com-
convention is the question of fire
prevention. In this connection there
will be a symposium of information
recently obtained from the fire chiefs
of more than twenty of the largest
cities in the country, giving their
views on the practical methods of re-
the annual losses of fire. This
symposium was over by
Frank H. secretary of the
National Fire Protection
The report of a special committee on
the regulation of the sales and high
explosives was received.
Another feature in the motion
was the
of a highly instructive film
showing the actual construction and
present state of the Panama Canal.
This was accompanied by an ad-
dress by Charles A. Conant, of New
York, on the relation of the Panama
Canal to commerce and
as well as its probable effect on
our American trade with South and
Central America.

WILL DEMOCRATS INVITE DE-
FEAT I
Surely no well Democrat
can be deluded Into the belief that
it would be party policy to nominate
a reactionary. While the division In
Republican ranks seems to in-
sure success, unless the Baltimore
convention makes some egregious mis-
take, still the party's chance of
rests entirely upon the
of u progressive Democrat, up-
on a progressive platform. In no
possible contingency would It be
to nominate a man suspected of
reactionary tendencies.
The Republican national convention
may do one of three things and no
one at this time can say which. It
President Tuft, but
If It does It will be through the
Influence of the southern delegates,
for Mr. Taft Is not likely to have a
majority of the delegates from the
northern states. In Mr. Taft Is
nominated tho progressive
is, the rank and
would be likely to support any Dem-
known to be progressive; but
as between Mr. Taft and a reaction-
Democrat, they naturally
prefer Mr. Taft, and thus, with the
slump that would follow among pro-
Democrats, would insure Mr.
Tuft's election.
Hut the Chicago convention may
nominate Mr. Roosevelt for n third
term, In which case the nomination
of a reactionary Democrat would be
equally fatal because Mr. Roosevelt
would draw enough progressive Dem-
to offset his loss among the
stand-pat Republicans, so that his
election would he assured. The
a progressive Democrat, on
the other hand, would Insure the de-
feat of Mr. Roosevelt, because a pro-
progressive vote, and the Republicans
who oppose Mr. Roosevelt would have
nowhere else to go and would vote
the Democratic ticket from necessity.
But a third contingency is possible.
The fight between Taft and
has become so bitter, that they
may be put aside and a dark horse
nominated. If should hap-
pen to be the lucky man, it would
take a very strong progressive Dem-
to hold all of the Democratic
votes. A reactionary Democrat would
be defeated before the battle was be-
gun. If the dark horse proved to be
a man satisfactory to both the
and the Taft element. Democratic
chances would be very much lessened
and no one could hope for success,
unless he was in a position to take
advantage of the progressive
of the reactionary
would have no possible show of
This Is the situation as any-
one must clearly see who will give
a moments time to the serious con-
of politics.
Why, then, are the Democrats will-
to invite defeat by encouraging
the of a reactionary It
Is easy enough to understand the
tics of Wall street, because Wall
street has no politics. It does not
matter to Wall street whether the
president is a Democrat or
can, provided, he goes to Wall street
for advice. What Wall street wants
Is to nominate both tickets and tin u
elect the Republican ticket; for it
Is beyond Wall street's power to elect
the Democratic ticket, even If it want-
ed to. It can not throw its entire
Influence to the Democratic ticket, fur
however satisfactory the candidate
himself may be to Wall street. Wall
street Is afraid of the Democratic
party and it knows that a Democratic
president could not carry out Wall
street's policies, even If he used all
the patronage in his effort to do so.
The most that Wall street could do
is to nominate a Democrat who would
be easily defeated; and having
a man whom the rank and hie
of the party would not support, it
would then abandon him to his fate,
and leave the party where It left it
in 1901.
Can It be possible that the Demo-
who have fought so loyally for
twenty years against the predatory
interests, can be duped at this time,
and are they willing to throw away
the best chance they have had of
victory, merely to please the element
that has brought defeat to the party
for sixteen years Will the Democrats
risk the election of Mr. Roosevelt for
a third term, with all that that means
in the overthrow of the traditions of
the nation Will they, by
a reactionary, enable Mr. Taft to
regain the confidence of the people
confidence which he lost as few
presidents have lost It
The road would seem to be a plain
to victory, with all that
victory would mean to our party,
principle and policy point the
way. The party needs only to have
faith in the wisdom of doing right,
it needs only to stand firm and re-
the confidence that Its splendid
fight has won.
if the Republicans had authorized
the Democrats to map out a course
for the Republican party with the
view of securing the overwhelming
defeat of that party, a Democratic
committee could not have advised all
of the mistakes that the Republican
leaders have made and the Demo-
would not have been ashamed
to ask the president and the ex-pres-
to enter into the unseemly fight
In which they are now engaged. Sure-
the circumstances favor the Dan
unless the Democrats them-
selves deliberately destroy the hope
of Democratic victory and they can I
destroy It In but one way, viz., by,
surrender lo the Interests, by
from the high position that they have
occupied, by compromise with those
who are exploiting the masses.
SCHOOL OVERRUN.
The people of Greenville owe it to
the school, to their town and to
themselves to open their homes a
few weeks for the benefit of East
Carolina Training school.
Recently President Wright published
a card calling upon the citizens of
the town to provide for boarding as
many students as possible during the
summer term, as the applications
from students were far more
than the dormitories of the
school could possibly accommodate.
He informs us that not one-third
enough responses came from the
of the town and unless more re-
come early it is going to be
necessary to turn away a large
of students who are seeking the
benefit of the summer course for
teachers at this Right now
there are more than a hundred
in excess of the number
provided for and more applications
are coming in every mail. The
of the town should gladly come
to the aid of the school in such a
time as this and provide
for the overflow of students.
Those who have a spare room or two,
or who can take a few of the
to board, should send in their
names with particulars to President
Wright at once.
And let us all hope that the next
legislature will see the needs of this
school and make it an appropriation
large enough to provide sufficient
to take care of the students
who seek admission there. The
school is doing the best work of any
educational Institution of the state,
without exception. It is one
school in North Carolina that ad-
heres strictly to Its mission, training
teachers to teach in the public schools
and those desiring to receive its ex-
advantages and equip
for this great work are making
more demand upon it than its pres-
facilities can meet. Until the
legislature does Its duty and supplies
the needs of the school, the people
of the town should heed the cull for
help and come to the rescue In times
of emergency.
MOSQUITOES.
The j How They Do It,
How to Prevent Them.
Mosquito prospects are fine this
the mosquito. All they
need Is a little more time. They will
do the rest Wet weather, with
dance of water standing about in
ponds, swamps, puddles, rain
old tin cans, bottles, dishes, roof
spouting, etc., furnishes ideal mos
conditions. Add to this from
one to two weeks of warm weather
and the result will be marvelous.
Thousands of mosquitoes will appear
as If by magic.
What Mosquitoes Do.
Of course a few will bite you while
others will hum and buzz around your
ears in a tortuous way when you wish
to sleep, rest, or read. But this Is the
least of the trouble. What they may
do Is to Inject the tiniest amount of
malarial germs into your blood. That
will give you malarial chills and fever
for months or years, make you gen-
Inefficient, impoverish your
blood and make you the easy prey of
scores of other diseases that you
would not otherwise contract.
Approximately North Carolin-
died of malaria last year and
times as many died of other dis-
eases because their bodies were in such
an condition, due to
malaria and the mosquito bite, that
they contracted every other disease
to which they were at all liable.
How to Prevent
Fortunately the mosquito is not a
great traveler. He usually resides
within from one hundred to five
feet of his birthplace. Winds
may drive him further
away, but like the fly, he Is very do-

If the average householder in the city
would have removed all his old tin

and cellar to see that there Is
no stale water, and If he would either
fill or drain low wet holes, his mos-

Capital.
Springtime In Washington is most
delightful; there are so many trees,
flowers and parks and consequently
birds. Every American should visit
the capital of his nation, for It
makes him more patriotic and a bet-
citizen. He should see the mag-
buildings, the beautiful
grounds and the human wrecks that
changes in political fortunes have
made.
There Is something about the place
that like a magnet. Men
stay here and virtually starve to death
when they could do well back in the
states from which they came. Young
women, first class stenographers and
clerks, will starve in Washington for
or a month when they could
make three times that much in North
Carolina. There is
thing that you cannot see, or describe
but makes you cling. I
have felt it. The poor, ragged, wan-
faced that warm seats
in the public parks day after day and
sleep in filth night after night and
the old and decrepit, shadows and
ruins of better times, have felt it.
The glitter and the pomp of things
must have something to do with it.
At this season the town is full of

the hotels reap harvests.
New England sends thousands of
young men and women here every
year to see the attractions. The
visit to Washington is part of the
New England educational system.
Train loads of school boys girls
are emptied at the union station in
April and May.
Washington's business men. hotel
proprietors, automobile men, and
others have learned how to handle
big crowds. The cars arrive the
passengers are transferred to large
automobiles and distributed to the
hotels. I have seen as many as
persons in a big automobile, seeing
Washington and listening to the
speech of the
Barring the the most
interesting thing here to me Is the
park with its wealth of trees and
birds. The grounds about the

Mount Vernon, the home of George
Washington, is the most popular
place It is Just across the
river from Washington. Arlington
the old home of Robert E. Lee, now
the national cemetery, is quite as
pretty as Mount Vernon. Every
man wants to see the East room, the
