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.

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 Both Champ Clark and Mr. Bryan, although their names were not on the preference ballot and they were not represented by delegates were given a scattering vote throughout the state, which, when final returns have been received, may effect the outcome of the race.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If he can succeed In getting his neighbors on both sides to do the same thing, he will have less than a fourth of an average mosquito crop If he can get all the people In his In the township primary here Sat- afternoon the only Idea dis- played in the selection of delegates to the county convention was based on who the delegate favored for United abolish all their mosquito States There would have been some reasonableness In this if either the county convention or the coming state convention bud any bearing upon who to be senator.

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 they call them- 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.
