ROOSEVELT WON IN OHIO; TAFT GETS TEN DELEGATES.

President Lost By AM* & Bis Homo State—Effect WB) Influence Final Result Almost complete returns tram Ohio show that Roosevelt has won 32 of the district delegates to ID for Taft and that tbe former won by about 25,000 in the president’s native state. Tbe result will be to give Roosevelt control of the Ohio state convention and there 6 delegates at large will be chosen, thus giving Roosevelt 38 out of 48 delegates in that state. It Is believed that the result will influence other states still to select delegates and that Roosevelt will continue to find favor in future contests. President Taft's managers assert that be has sufficient delegates to nominate him and that his loss in Ohio will not stop him in tbe least. Both the candidates will get busy in New Jersey, where 28 delegatee are to be chosen. Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, seems to have defeated Governor Woodrow Wilson in the Ohio contest and apparently will, get tbe entire delegation. Champ Clark did not figure extensively in tbe Ohio campaign but he has secured a large number of delegates from other states and it looks like the democrats will have a lively convention, with the always imminent possibility that William Jennings Bryan will be the qltimate nominee. - V , > t
