Saturday’s Primaries.
The primaries on Saturday passed off
very quietly notwithstanding the fact that
there were several warm contests in Cen-
tre county. The closest on the Demo-
cratic ticket was that for the nomination
for the Legislature between George A.
Beezer, of Bellefonte, and Robert M,
Foster, of State College, the latter win-
ning by the narrow margin of 65 votes.
A. B. Kimport was re-elected county
chairman over W. Harrison Walker and
George L. Goodart defeated Abram Weber
for delegate to the state convention,
Asher R. Johnson and John C. Barclay
carried Centre county for delegates to
the national convention and were elected
in the congressional district. The com-
plete returns will be found in another
column.
CENTRE COUNTY GOES FOR ROOSEVELT.
But the administration Republicans got
the biggest surprise of the day when the
returns showed that Centre county had
gone for Roosevelt for President by an
over two to one vote, electing Harry P.
Austin and George N. Fisher delegates to
the state convention. The Roosevelt del-
egates to the national convention also
carried the county overwhelmingly and
were elected in the district. C. L. Gram-
ley defeated Samuel Wigton for the Legis-
lature and Henry C. Quigley was re-
elected county chairman over Hard P.
Harris. The complete vote of the county
will be found on the seventh page of
todays paper.

A Home Brew Analysis.
Editor Democratic Watchman:
The fcllowing letter from our State
Coliege relative to beverage of roasted
barley and hops of open brew, sent last
October from Silver avenue, that don't
intoxicate, but which is rated taxable in
commerce by our government, at same
rate as beer made out of anything. Its
very unjust to the people, and leaves no
incentive to make medecinal brews by
roasting barley direct. The malstering
by mash spread on floor to germ and
then bake-roast the same, is the cheap
mode of getting most from the grain, but
causes malaria, billiousness, etc. And the
use of camphors, burned sugaror burnt
cork for coloring and preservatives are
wicked, and for want of pure roasted
barley and hops, beer causes more pre-
mature deaths then all industrial and
travel accidents.
Yours faithfully,
JAMES WOLFENDEN,
Lamar, Pa.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., April 12th, 1912.
Mr. James Wolfenden,
Lamar, Pa.
{ear Sir—The sample of beverage
submitted by you is found to contain
alcohol to the amount of 2.97 per cent by
weight equivalent to 8.70 per cent by
volume; solids 1.56 per cent, including
albuminoid materials to the amount of
.59 per cent.
The quantity of alcohol comes well
within the range for ordinary beer and
the manufacture of such beverage would,
therefore, come, I suppose, under the
regulations of the internal revenue laws.
At any rate, it brings the subject into
question, and I would not recommend
any such undertaking without first con-
sulting the revenue authorities. The
quantity of albuminoids is near the
maximum commonly occurring of Amer-
ican malt liquors, which is .614 per cent.
Hoping that this information may serve
your need, I am,
truly,
Yours ve
Ry FREAR,
Chemist.
