Sound Money Men VIII Get Up Peti-
tfOns for Their State Ticket.
This morning Assistant City Counselor
Clarence s. Palmer expects to start in
circulation a number of the National Dem
ocratic party's petitions in the interest Of
their ticket. The petitions are addressed
to Secretary Of State Lesueur, the reques-
being that he will. in accordance with the
statute. authorize the printing of the
names Of the nominees on the ballots, to
be used at the general election this fall
A thousand signatures are necessary, It
Is the purpose of the sound money DEM
ocrats to circulate petitions in st. Louis
and Kansas City alone. In st. Louis. in
order that the full strength of the sound
money Democracy may not be learned by
the opposition, just enough names will be
obtained to make up the required number,
1t is expected that the number of sigma.
lures which will be obtained in Kansas
City will be about $50.
The National Democratic Club here will
hire notary public or two for work with
the petitions. The law requires that the
petitions shall be handled Just as deeds
are. 1t is rumored that the state Popo.
cracy will exert its powers to prevent
the, placing of the names on the official
ballot. If such is the case the National
Democrats will fight the Popocracy in
every legal way possible. The club re.

HAVING A GOOD EFFECT.

New Law in ReEafd TO Examinations
for Admission to Medical Colleges
Shutting Ont InOOmpetents.
The fact that the new state law. which
requires that candidates for admission in-
to the medical colleges shall show satis-
factory evidence of scholarship, has had
the intended effect Of prohibiting many to.
tally incompetent. persons from becoming
practicing physicians. has been demon
strated at the recent examinations held in
this city. OF the seven candidates who
took the entrance examinations last FRI
day and Saturday, only one made pass
why. some Of the fellows who took the
0xaminations," said Professor Minckwitz,
one of the examiners. ..were not even able
to write the English language correctly.
One of the examination questions was for
the pupil to write a six line letter. One
fellow misspelled over half OF the words
in his letter, besides demonstrating to us
that he did not know the correct form of a
letter. I think that the state board of
health deserves good deal of praise for
its part In passing the new law, which will
keep these fellows. who do not even know
the English grammar, from receiving di-
Dlomas from the medical colleges"
