Washingtoa, May 25. The coming
week will see the beginning of the
end of the contests for the presiden
tial nomination, so far as the elec
tion of delegates to the national con
ventions ia concerned. Interest will
enter chiefly in the presidential pref
erence primaries to be held in Mew
Jersey tneedsy. The eon Lei t between
Tan and Roosevelt is similar to the
eon teats already fought ont in Mas
sachusetts and Maryland, the other
two eastern States in which general
primaries have been held, and it is
the general belief that the victor in
New Jersey will win by a narrow
margin.. Oa the Democratic side it
is a fight by Governor Woodrow Wil
son to secure the solid indorsement
of his home State against the strenu
ous efforts of his opponents to split
the delegation. . ' '.
Kentucky's 28 delegates to the
Democratic national .convention will
be chosen in Louisville Wednesday.
The Btate convention, . which will
name the four delegates at large, will
be preceded In the tbrenoon by the
conventions of the eleven congression
al ' districts. - Speaker Clark is be
lieved to have a good lead among the
Democrats of the Blue Grass State
and. the only question appears to be
whether the delegates thai) be in
structed for him or shall go to Balti
more without instructions. . ..'.'
: '.' Other events on the political calen
dar for th: week will include , the
Democratic presidential ; preference
primaries in Rhode Island, the Dem
ocratic State convention at Butto to
name 'Montana's eight delegates to
Baltimore, the Democratic and Re
publican State conventions in Texas
to ratify, the results of the recent
primaries, and the Arizona Republi
can convention to select six delegates
to Chicago. - '. ;
.The annual convention of the Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis, which
will meet in Washington, and the

planning, in Boston, will be among.
the notable gatherings oi tne week.

A Moveasnt by Ov Bastaass Man to

Bhaac ..
; A "movement has been started by
several business men of the city to
have the Harrisburg road put in good
shape. The . merchants and business
men realise that they are losing busi
ness by the condition of this road and
have started a campaign that will no
doubt result ia the road being repair
ed. '
It is needless to say that this is one
of toe most important roads leading
into Concord. - It ia also familiar to
every one that the excellent road in
the adjoining county leads to another
market. This haa brought the people
of that section to the noint of decid
ing wlieh road will they take to mar-
ket the good, smooth highway orup by our eity authorities. The ed-
the rough and billy road.
A petition is being circulated. Not
only is it being largely signed but with Mr. Henry W. Miller, assist
many of the leading business men of ant to the president, at Atlanta. Im
Conoord are contributing funds for mediate and' courteous replies were
the purpose of improving the road. It
will be presented to the county com
missioners at tbe next regular meet
ing of. the board. By that time it
will likely have tbe names of every
business msn in town, or at least an
overwhelmintr majority of them. The
petition is as follows:
-We, the "Undersigned citizens of
Cabarrus county, respectfully re
quest the Board of Commissioners of
Cabarrus county to grade and build
a sand clay, macadam or other kind
of good load from the Jackson Train

which is known'as the National High-
, way. "This is the most important
road work in' Cabarjas county to the
people of Concord who pay. a large
part of the road taxes. Mecklenburg
has built to our very line, and if we
hope to hold the trade of -this good
