Tho Presidential Preference Primary held In Maryland, Monday, ramo as near Uelng between Taft and Roose volt as ioselble, 64 of tho delegates to the Stato Convention being for tho President and 65 for Roosevelt. This convention selects and Instructs tho 16 delegates to tho Chicago con vention. "With Nowhampshiro going nearly two to ono for Taft, Massa chusetts giving him a majority of nearly 4,000, and Maryland nearly equnlly divided tho tiopular clamor for tho Third Term candidate does "ot seem to bo tho sure thing It waa HUPo&ed to be. Clark was tho Democratic winner In Maryland but Wilson offset his victory by getting tho Texas delega tion. HOW IT HAPPENED Just how it was that while Presi dent Taft carried Mass., In the prefer ence primary, last week, tho Roose velt di'legates-at-largo were chosen. Is now coming to light. Tho fact that tho Tuft alternate delegates-at-largo were chosen, as well as tho Presi dent's majority, proves conclusively Unit tho iHiopio meant to Bond a Taft delegation and not a Roosevelt delegation. Tho troublo seems to havo arisen partly from tho fact that a ninth delegate, who Insisted that ho was for tho President, got his name on tho ballot and tho votes that were cast for this man, along with tho other eight, wero counted Continued oil page SPECIAL FEATURES Wo call attention to an Interesting artlclo on pago 5 by a former contrib utor on fanning Objects, Mr. S.

WILL -THE DAY EVER COME (Editorial in fxington Herald, March HI, 11)12.) Somo tlmo sinco we published an oxcerpt from n letter wa had recolved from a young friend at Harvard, Riving an Recount of the nnnual dinner of the Kentucky Club, at which no alcoholic drinks woro sorved. We" liavo received n letter from Mr. J. V. Faulkner, the editor and manager of the Bcrea, Citizen, commenting on that editorial, which no publish. Wo do not doubt that Mr. Faulkner expresses tho views of many men, and more women, who object to Mho smoko of tobacco an they do to tho fumes of whiskey. Wo wonder if the day will come during tho lives of any who are now old enough to use either tobacco or whiskey when neither will bo used nt a gathering of KentucklatiR. As one who uses both, contrary to tho advice of physicians, we are inclined to believe it will be several generations before Kentucky's two chief products are entirely tabooed. During the infrequent in tervals, however, when we do not ourselves use tobacco or drink any alcoholic liquors, we wonder nt the patience und power of endbranco of those who never uso either, and yet nsfociBte, apparently with pleasure, with those who use both. The only protection ve baveever been able to find against tho odors of tobacco in to uso it ourselves. What other method of self-defense is there for those who feel as does Mr. Faulkner, who writes: Herca, Kentucky, March 26, 1012. Mr. Desha Breckinridge, Lexington, Ky. My Dear Mr. BreeklnrlclRe: our editorial In The Herald a fow days ago, "A Contradiction In Terms," stirs up old memories. From 11)05 to 1008 I was a member of the Kentucky Club at Harvard University, and I recall the surprise In University circlet caused by the statement that Intoxicat ing drinks went barred from the Kentucky club. I agree with you that this Is Indicative of tho great change that has come over us In recent years, and that it Is altogether encouraging. During my throo years membership In the Club the subject of tho uso of liquors at our banquets and feasts canio up tbreo times, and each time there was a small mi nority In favor of "lowering our standard," as some of us called It. Most of tho men had found, on going Into New England, that their stato was best known for Its whlnky ami Um feudists. T remember on ono occasion, when a delegate to tho Jf. K. A. and wearing a Kentucky badge, I wan nccoHted by a gentleman in Koston with, "Hello 1 From Kentucky 1 What do you bring us got any bour bon or six shooters?" Though I stood for neither of these things, I held on to my badgo, We had lolly times in the club, and I am sure now that no member thinks that we would have been any bet ter oir or had any bettor tlmo If we had substituted "good old bourbon" for Ginger ale. For, If the whisky was lack hit and our feaxtH wero less like Kentucky for that reason, Kentucky hospitality was not wanting. It was not an un common thing for one of the members to get a huge box from homo with cakes and Jellies nnd turkey and all good things that only tho home table can furnish, but there was never a selfish man in the lot. These boxes were brought to the Club and one man was Just as free to help himself as another. There was one thing In the Kentucky Club, however, that marred my pleasure, and yet I nover mentioned It to a single member. It was the excessive use of tobacco by the mwmberH. I never used tobacco In any form never had any inclination to do so, and, If I had, I am sun; I could not, owing to the fact that the fumes are Irritating to my throat. Hut the Kentucky follows nearly all smoked; sometimes a pipe, sometimes n cigar, very often cigarettes, and I frequently stayed with them until mid night and after, and laughed and talked and nto and suf ferttt Was it a want of courage that kept mo from pro testing? I think not. I could not doprlve myself of the pleasure of being with my follow Kentucklans, and at tho saiiio time I dared not protest against a thing that seemed to give them so much pleasure, so I remained si lent, though for two orthreo dnysnfter one of our "meets" inyclotlilng held tho offensive fumes with which lthad bo eo'me saturated. I am writing this wondering how long It will bu until another change has come until some Kentucky editor will receive a letter from the Kentucky Club at Harvard, run ning ae follows: "The most noteworthy thing about the affair, wbb tho entlro ahsenco from tho 'meet' not only of alcoholic , liquors, but Kentucky's other great staple. I hope you don't think that the new generation of Kentucklans is deteriorating on this account. A Kontucky dinner nnd nothing to drink, nothing to smoke! Itsounds liken con tradiction on the face of it, but It was a fact, ami, as I havo said, we all enjoyed ourselves". When thnt day comes the non-binoker will have t-oino rights. Very truly yours, JAS.

I Dear Readers of Tho Citizen: I havo seen four cities this week. 1 begau with Youngstown, which is an lion city.

Tuesday I waa iu Chicago, moot ing for a brief hour a dozen College prertdents, and representatives of homo nnd foreign missionary socie ties, who canio to pay their tributes to tho memory of Dr. Pearsons. It was a crowded hour, and when eight had spoken wo had to cloao without even reading tho resolutions, letters, telegrams, from fifty or more friends at a distance. Tho old man's faco looked natural and peaceful, and tho piercing eyes were closed. Wo laid his body In a flno decked gravo and covered It with flowers. Ho was tho man who had helicd us to ac complish tho most unselfish and heaven-sent ambitions of our lives. I laid on his coffin three wreaths In Lebalf of tho college students ho bad helped, one for gratitude, ono for admiration, and ono for love.
