NEW JERSEY FIGHT BEGUN

Three Republican Candidates—Taft, Roosevelt and La Follette Tour State Making Speeches. Newark, N. J., May 24.—With three Republican presidential candidates within her borders, New Jersey is the political center of the country. It will remain so until Tuesday night, when the poll* will close and the Republicans of the state will have announced their preference as to Taft, Roosevelt and La Follette. President Taft opened his campaign in Camden with another ripping antlRoosevelt speech. Colonel Roosevelt delivered several speeches and Senator La Follette spoke at several points. A large part of the campaigning will be by automobile. Governor Wilson is the only candidate named on the Democratic primary ballots, but the governor’s campaign committee is opposed by a Strong anti-Wilson organization which is trying to elect "uninstructed” delegates. 1
