Theodore Roosevelt Named in Fifth Missouri Primary
Theodore Roosevelt was endorsed for the Republican presidential nomination by Fifth Missouri district Republicans in the first U S primary. Taft supporters did not participate actively and about 6 000 votes were cast, less than a quarter of normal Republican strength. The primary elected delegates to a convention which will pick two national delegates. In Kansas City the presidential and city tickets were voted in the same booths, tainting the legality claims by Taft backers. Separate election boards served each contest. Taft supporters urged abstention and plan a separate convention to choose their national delegates.
