Lack of Interest in Result and Good

This Condition
LITTLE SEEMS CERTAIN
There Was Practically Xo Doubt At
1 O'clock Of His Nomination For
Still' Senator Colonel Harris
Seems To lie Leading- His Oppo
nent I'mlerwootl anil Kileliin
Delegate! Will Control : County
Convention, It Appears.
Wake county's first legalized pri
mary for both parties is being liolil
today. Interest in tlie election lias
not lieen great and for that reason
a very Unlit vote, it is thought, is
being polled..' The contest centered
here in the choice for the Democrat
ie nomination for Stale senator, Mr.
James Crawford Little leading his
opponent at I o'clock, it Was con
ceded, by a good margin.
It seemed assured later in the
afternoon that Messrs. Wilbur
Htinn, M. A. t'.riflin and Krnest T.
Mills would be chosen as candidates
for the house. Mr. I.. II. Woodall
is running well, but was thought to
be behind the other gentlemen. His
strength will be found mostly in the
county.
A report from Berry O'Kelly's
store in House Creek township,
stated that Mr. Little was running
Hi rong there, and at the Soldiers'
Home the same thing was reported.
Kitehin delegates to the county
convention Wednesday are undoubt
edly carrying the day, as are also
the delegates favoring Oscar W. I'n
do.rwood for president. It was stat
ed today by Kiteliiti leaders in this
county, however, that the Simnions
Kitchin fight would not be injected
in the convention Wednesday. The
convention is not expected to en
dorse any candidate for president,
though a strong Underwood delega
tion will likely be sent to both the
congressional and State conventions.
Very few Simmons and Clark men
were put on the ticket.
Yesterday afternoon and early
today several candidates for dele
gates announced, their choice for
president and any man favorable
to Wilson or I'nderwood did not
have to go to the polls and vote
blindly. Many voters made Inqui
ries' as to Wilson or Underwood del
egates. "Vote for me and you vote
for Wilson" Is the way one candi
date had cards to read.
Started Too I.nto.
Mr. Shepherd, in speaking of the
votingadmitted that his opponent
was leading. His late entrance in
the field and the lack of an organ
ized effort on the part of his friends
is responsible, his supporters de
clare, for the light vote he is re
ceiving. As far as Mr. Shepherd Is
personally concerned, the result Is
no serious disappointment, to him,
because he bad no desire to enter
the race at all. Doth be and Mr.
Kittle are first class men, but Mr.
Little got a big jump on him and
was never caught.
; Iii General.
Although the Australian ballot W
being used iii Ualoigh there was
little trouble in ascertaining the
general result of the voting. Those
interested about the polls can tell
by the way a veter looks how he
cast his ballot, and most people re
turn froni the booth and discuss the
subject with onlookers.
LinlitrVote In Comity.
Not one word has been heard
from the county, but it is believed
that, the vote there will be very
light. This was too good a day for
work, and there was too little in

CLARK GETS THE
RHODE ISLAND VOTt
' 'Providence, R- I-, June I. Re
vised returns from the first Demo
cratic presidential primary In Hhode
Island shown Speaker Champ Clark
victorious. A very light vote was
cast. Clark received 4,1 0.r, Wilson,
1,333, and Herman, 728. The dele
gates to the Baltimore convention
will support Clark on at least one
ballot.

Three Men Have Narrow
Escape from Flames
This Moroiog
That the Raleigh fire dopnrlmonl
is on the job was clearly demon
strated today when the alarm came
i;i at 1(1:45 from box :U, near the
gas house. The department made
an exceptionally good run, and it
was fortunate it did, for when the
companies arrived, the eastern side
of the gas house-was almost obscur
ed from iev by the thick black
smoke that was pouring out from
the basement. The lire proved to
be in the boiler room, where it had
started from one of the tar lines
becoming disconnected and the tar
had caught fire immediately ironi
the contact, witli the boiler.
Three .Men Kseape.
When the lire started, there were
three men in the small room when'

CAUSE TALK

By the Federal
Government
' -Washington,.' D. C, June 1. High
pi ices of meat probably will he in
vestigated soon by the federal gov
ernment. An inquiry to sunp'enieiif
.' previous investigations in be'ng
planned at the department of jus
tice. The soaring meat prl.-es an 1
the c.uestion as to whether the
ccorttry'B meat, supply may be n
rul.'ti' in violation of the SlV-'.'man
law was called to the depariinen s
attention by Representative Ho
wards' hill directing the 'attorney
general to make an investigation.
Since the porkers were acquitted
at Chicago of the crime of violation
of the Sherman law the department
has been keeping in close touch
with the meat situation. Attorney
General Wickersham has had under
consideration a civil suit for the
dissolution of the National Packing
Company. United States Attorney
Wilkerson, at Chicago, has been re
viewing the evidence at the criminal
trial, and Oliver Pagan, government
special attorney, has been studying
the situation. It is intimated that
the federal grand jury recently em
panelled in Chicago might investi
gate some '.of the charges regarding
the testimony of certain witnesses
in the criminal suit.
MASON CIUTICISKS UOOSKVEfT.
Says He Has Disregarded Brotherly
Obligations in Treatment of Taft.
New York, June 1. J. H. John
ston, until recently a warm sup
porter and a friend . of Theodore
Roosevelt, has sent to President
Taft, a fellow Mason, the following
letter:
"I've been a thirty-second-degrec
Freemason for many years, and re
member well when it was announc
ed that you had joined the frater
nity. I likewise remember when
Mr. Roosevelt was running for the
vice-presidency, and while he wa3
still governor of the State of New
York, he became a member of the
Masonic fraternity, as every.. Presi
dent of the United States has from
Washington down. ,'.-.'
"I, as a Mason, do not forget fiat
certain brotherly obligations are
imposed upon us, which Mr. Roose
velt has utterly disregarded in his
treatment of you of late, and inas
much as I have seen no -allusion to
it in any of the newspapers, I beg
to suggest that If the fraternity
were reminded of It, it might be of
grea' value to you at this very Im
portant juncture."
