The board of aldermen has not yet decided on a man to take .Mr. Mills' place. Tne board was to have met last night, but the meeting was ad journed until next Frfdav night. In his letter of resignation Mr. Mills suggests a bond issue tor street im provements. His letter in part fol lows: The Resignation. "I hereby tender my resignation as a member of your board to take .effect at once. "My reason for resigning this of fice is that previous to my election to your board I had agreed to ac cept a vacancy that was expected in the board of county commissioners. "When F accepted the position on your board it had not occurred to me that I could not legally hold two offices. I feel that because of my agreeing to accept the appointment S-on the county board that I owe my first duty to the county. "I feel too that if I can be of any service to either board, 1 can servo best the interest of the county at large. Funds Well Handled. "Since I have been on your hoard I have tried to Inquire Into the af fairs of your city. The inquiry I have made leads me to believe that your city is economically handled and that the funds of the city are wisely and judiciously handled. I believe that any careful investigation will bear me out in this conclusion. Bond Issue Needed. "It is true you need streets paved and a newly equipped fire depart ment, but vour annual income is not sufficient to do this, and for this reason I heartily recommend that the citizens of Raleigh authorize a bond issue of at least $500,000 for this work. "You are compelled at the present time to spend for patch work on your streets enough money annually to pay interest on at least half of a $500,000 bond issue."

' PRIMARIES HELD IN MANY COUNTIES I'nder the democratic olan of organization primaries are being held today in all those counties of the state to select delegates to the vari ous county conventions, unless other wise provided by law, which will be held May 25. In Wake county both the democratic and republican primaries will be held Saturday, June 1. The people will not vote on their choice for president, though there is no law against such a thing, and the I'nderwood people, who are anxious for a popular expression In this state, will have to take their chances with the other candidates at the state convention. The people of Wake county will nominate legislative candidates June 1. Another primary to be held in August will determine the county officers. John R.

The battle-ground In the contest for the presidential nomination In each of the two big parties Is now centered in Ohio, where for the first time in its history, a presidential primary will be held on Tuesday, May 21. The Buckeye State has two "favorite sons" in the field. President Taft and Gov. Judson A. Harmon, one of whom is battling for renomination at the hands of the republicans, and the other struggling for his eleva tion froth the governorship to the presidency, through the support of the democrats. The names of candidates on the primary ballots are as follows: Republicans Robert M. baFol- lette, William II. Taft, Theodore Roosevelt. Democrats Judson Harmon and Woodrow Wilson. In the republican party, both Taft and Roosevelt organizations are making claims of victory. At the Roosevelt headquarters it was predicted today that the colonel would captive a majority of the dis trict delegates, and it was further unofficially claimed that he would sweep the state. The Taft forces control the state center anl executive committees, the congressional organization, and 7.1 of the 88 county committeemen. They claim they will sweep the state, capturing every district dele gate and all the delegates at large. While Senator LaFollette still has an organization and an open head quarters i: here in charge of former State Senator Moses B. "arnhart. no claims are being advanced as to the outcome of the primaries and it is believed that he will run a poor third, though his supporters hope to see him ride to victory on the crest of the wave of dissatisfaction occa sioned by the Ronsevelt-Taft cont.-o versy. In the democratic party a 'strong er fight has probably been made than in any other state in the na tlon. Gov. Judson Harmon, ' who was elected to his office by the larg est majority even given a democrat is seeking the state delegation to Baltimore as opposed to the candi dacy of (!ov. Woodrow Wilson There has been a great deal of in surgency against Governor Harmon and prominent men of his party, in cluding Mayor Newton Baker, has led the fight for Wilson and has re- peateniy uenounceu Harmon as a V i)piV ,r t If IUI n AKFAST 01 last few minutes of sleep in the morning are p regions prc- Willi most if us the lieyoml price.

However, t lie Harmon men control the democratic state organi zation and show little sifcit of wor riment over the outcome- On the other hand the Wilson men claim that their candidate will nor only carry the state, but will beat Harmon by a large majority. The republican primary is design ed to select 42 district delegates, some instructed; others Htiinstruet ed, to the nr".onal convention. In iddit-ton to these delegates, rene- senting the 21 congressional districts, some delegates to the state conven tion, which will select the 6 dele gates at large, will be chosen direct ly at the primarywhile other dis tricts will select delegates to a coun ty convention, which, in turn, will choose the delegates to the state convention. ',. The democrats will hold what is known as a "preferential" primary instructing all of the district dele gates to the .Baltimore convention. From the start, the campaign in Ohio has been spectacular, and spe cial trains have been dodging about from city to hamlet in the interests of one candidate or another. It was at-Columbus,' in --an address before the constitutional, oonvention. that Colonel Roosevelt tbrew his hat into the ring, and it was at Toledo a snort time later that President Taft gave it his first vigorous kick. Since then the war has raged intermittent ly and neither side has seemed to have the advantage. Among other prominent leaders who have toured the state were Sen ator l.arollette and William Jen nings Bryan both of whom created the most nitei)se 'fnterest' and dis- eus.sion. .. - The result of the primary will be crucial to the republican candidates. Should Colonel Kodsevelt capture a majority of the delegates to the Chi cago convention from the president s home state, it is believed that .Mr. Taff's candidacy will be pronounced hopeless and a "dark horse" will lie groomed fur the race. If, on the other hand, the president should re ceive an -unqualified . endorsement from Ohio-republicans, ft. 'is conceded that this would largely offset the adverse effect ' of the Illinois and Pennsylvania nrimaries :and nlnee Taft in a commanding position. . 2 . -. .- hkadoiartErs CLOSE Roosevelt Camp in Greenhrno Closed Did God Work.
