W ASH In G TO N.
MOVEMENT FOR A FEDERAL
ELECTION LAW.
CLAIM OF 4 GENERAL DEMAND
The Republicans Beginning 10 Nus
ter Their Forces-Congress TO be
Flooded With Maehine-Mado Peti-
tton. from all Parts Of the CoHntry.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The repub.
licans in Congress are beginning to
muster their forces preparatory to a
general movement for the passage OF
the Sherman federal elections law or
some similar measure. The advance
guard has already arrived in Wash
ington, and machine-made petitions
from various parts of the country are
about to food the congressional petit
ton box. The intention is to create
an impression that there is a general
demand for the passage of national
election law, and republican commit
tees are now busy distributing circu-
lars for signatures in support OF the
movement.
representative McMilIin, of Ten
nessee. says he will never favor any
proposition that will give the federal
government control of the elections
10 the several states. Speaking Of the
operation OF the Australian ballot
-ystem in Tennessee, Dir. McMillin
says it works very successfully there
under Il modified form, and the COVER
nor has recommended TO the lesisla-
ture further notifications. The sys-
rem is only applied to cities and large
towns throughout the state where the
number Of voters is 400 or more. In
rhe small towns and villages the old
system OF voting prevails. as there is
hut little opportunity for illegal vot-
ing, because all of the voters are
known throughout the community in

wAsuIHGTON's BIRTHDAY.
A bay Tint should Never be Forget
ten by "a Patriotic People.

Tomorrow, February 22nd, is the
anniversary of the birth of Washing
ton and as such will be celebra-
ted in all parts of this
country. The life of George Wash
ington will furnish an example to the
youth of the United States as long as
this nation exists, and every succeed
ing year adds to the greatness OF his
character and reflects continued
glory on the state in which he WAS
born. Since the establishment OF this
government many great names have
been added to the list OF soldiers,
patriots and statesmen, but when the
claims of all to greatness have been
analysed, George Washington stands
head and shoulders above the best.
Without the genius Of Cesar he was
able to successfully resist the military
resources of Great Britain, and when
it was in his power to hold the reins
OF government indefinitely he surren-
dered his authority and retired as a
private citizen to his home at Mount
Vernon.
With strict adherence to truth
aud n patriotism that could with
stand all the Establishments of power,
he lived only for his country and Ia
bored to make the United States the
home of liberty and the asylum Tor
the oppressed of every land. But for
his great influence among the states
the constitution would never have
been ratified, and but for his eXa nple
OF pure aud disinterested patriotism,
the fabric of freedom would have been
broken in its incepti N. and instead
of the great and glorious republic in
which we now live. there would have
been II number of sovereign states
which, in the course Of time, would
have driited back to British protec-
ton with the loss of all the glorious
privileges for which our fathers had
sacrificed so much blood and treasure.
As time moves on Washington grows
greater and greater, and as long as
the nation lives his name and anne
will be the first in the republic. 1t is
rminently right and proper that his
birthday should br tittingly celehrat-
ro by the people he served so faith
fully and by the nation which owes
it's existence to him.
