CHICAGo's ELECTION LAW.
1t Proves No Safeguard Against the
WileS of Politicians.

CHICAGO, Oct. H. Especial Telegram to
TIE BEE. Tho recent primary election
law of Illinois, which was supposed to pro-
vide every safeguard against the wlles of
politicians, seems to be quito as subject to
manipulation as the former statute. The
Chicago election commissioners met to-day
to investigate the serious charges which have
been made, and at the same time TO ascer-
tain the best method of punlshing the vo-
lators. Strange to say, the most sensational
charge Is made against Representative
William Kent, one of the legislators who
vo ted for the enactment of the law he is
charged with violating.
A. S. Newman, judge Of election, testified
that few days before the primary was
held he was approached by friend of Kent,
who asked If he did not desire to be relieved
from his duties as judge for the balance of
the year. Mr.. Newman said it was an irk-
some duty "All right" said the fellow, II
will have you relieved"
Sure enough, on primary day another man
was the judge in Newmans place. The rec
ords in the election commissioners Office
show the entry after Newman's name,
thought Of leaving the precinct.
Committeeman Kent and Downey are held
TO be the guilty parties, but the commissions
ers find themselves embarrassed as TO just
how TO institute criminal proceedings against
the consprators. The election law has no
provision which clearly fills the case, but il
was an evident attempt to nulllfy the law,
and that in itself is crime. This is the
first hagrant violation of the election laws
IN Chicago since Joe MacRi9was sent to
Joliet for five years for ballot box stuffing.

CHICAGO, Oct l1,--ISpecial Telegram 70
THE BEE, 1T leaked out to-day that tho
northwestern roads will join the southern
Pacific In its forthcoming demand on con-
gress for legislation protecting roads in tho
United States from tho unchecked competi.
ton of Canadian lines. The assistance OF
tho northwestern lines win be due partly to
tho fact that they feel most kecnly tho effect
of competition, and partly because the cen.
tral traffic and trunk lines issue Joint tariffs
with Canadian lines and rof1se to do so with
the western roads. Said an agent of one of
the northwestern roads to-day:
"Senator DAVIS OF Minnesota, claims there
will be no legislation mt The coming session OF
congress against Canadian roads, but
l think he is mistaken. The chances
are that when navigation closes rates to the
northwest will be raised The 800" has
agreed to an advance and the Chicago.St.
Paul limos will certainly agree. Our line has
never been in favor of the l5cent proper
tional rate between Chicago and st. Paul.
which the Burlington & Northern forced on
us, but If the rate is raised TO 80 cents we
want all the traffic we can get. If the rates
are raised there will still exist the same dis
crepancy between the local and proportion
of the through rates. which is now 40 cents
for the former ana 10 cents for the latter.
Remember, too, that we can only carry
through traffic at the l5-cent
rate from lines which issue joint
tariffs with u.s. Otherwise Judge Cooley
has adjudged such tariff illegal. | don't see
any right or justice in the eastern roads
practically robbing us of traffic and turning
it over to foreign corporations. None of the
northwestern roads, except the Burlington s.
Northern, care particularly now whether
the eastern roads issue tariffs jointly with
us or not, put If the rates can be raised to Y
paying basis YOU will see kick that will
amount to something"
