BOSTON, April 30.—Returns this afternoon from every section of the State show that one of the heaviest votes in years is being cast in the (rat Presidential preference election) ever held in the Bay State. While there was absolutely no way of tell-| how the struggle was going, the; fact that the inspectors of election everywhere reported that five Repub- lean ballots were being called for to one Democratic was accepted as) proof that the admonition of the) managers on both sides to other party men to “help out” the Republi- can primaries had been heeded. Bet- ting men made Taft a 10 to 7 favore ite. Mayor Fitagerald sald late this afters noon: “After recelving private advices from three strong Republican wards in Boston, and having been in communt- cation with many other portions of the sefty, 1 believe that President Taft will nweep Boston by a 2 to 1 vot The heavy rain of the morning pansed away before noon and this aided the vote. Everywhere the manegers reported the outcome in great doubt. Most of the polls do not olose until 9 efclock, and it will be very lata he- fore the votes can be counted and the result known, INDICATED VOTE BEYOND THE STATE ELECTION. ‘The to:a! Republican vote at the last State election was 206,7%, and some of tae political workers predicted that the combined vote for La Follette, Roose- Velt and Taft in the Presidential pret- erence would approach and perhaps ex- ceed those figures. In clues like Newburyport, Woburn, Haverhill and Lynn where balloting be- Ban early, reports showed that a fair Vote was cast during the first few | hours. In Brookline, said to be the richest town In the world, the vote was unusi ally heavy, but confined chiefly to Re: - publican balloting. «President Taft has the assurance of hig managers that he will get 2% of the %\Massachusetts delegates. The Roose- velt men claim at least 18 of the district delegates and the eight delegatcs at large. Col. Roosevelt does not a, to share in the belief that the battle in Massachusetts to-day will decide the war for the Republican nomination. He declared in one of his speeches yester- Gay that he believed he could win the fight without Massachusetts. The President wss met with enthu- elasm everywhere, and it is estimated that during his day of speech-making fully 500,000 turned out to hear him, ‘The element of uncertainty fa in the Jarge manufacturing centres, There ts Be doubt the President's aggressive campaign of the past few days has Breatiy strengthened his position in| the State, but the result of to-day's pri- Mary may depend on the silent labor vote in the mill towns.
