SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 6.-Theodore
Nelson, secretary of the Democratic State
Committee, filed petition with the Secre.
tary of State against the certification Of
the independent National Democratic
State ticket. He gives as his reasons that
the law has not Deen complied with; that
there are not enough names to the petit

The secretary refused to certify. the petit
tion of David Holmes of Mount Erie, the
independent Democratic candidate for
Supreme Court Clerk. and Walter Shook
of Chester County, candidate for Appellate

He claims that their petitions had only

Mav Not Get On the Ballot.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Oct. 6.-The State
and electoral tickets of the sound-money
Democrats may not get on the Australian
ballot in this State after all. The State
Democratic Executive Committee filed a
protest against admitting the ticket to the
ballot with the State Supervisor of Elec-
tons to-day. 1t is based on the ground
that the name is so similar to the regular
Democratic party that it is likely to give
rise to confusion. There is State law
against this. Secretary of State Taylor
took the protest under consideration.

TOO ENGLISH, YOU KNOW.
stilted Phrases Do Not Sound Well In
Ghildren'S Mouths.

The Transcript has been appealed to
in matter that has proved perplexing
in other families than that of the mother
who asks for advice. 1t is the question
OF teaching children to refrain from say
ing: "Ies, sir" and NO, sir" and have
them repeat the name of the person adj
dressed in replying, as, Yes, Mrs.
Smith, NO, mammal and the like.
English children are taught that this is
correct, the reason assigned over there
being that the endlessly reiterated Sir
and "Ma'am" belong to the servants and
tradespeople, and is indicative of in
feriOrity. AS the correspondent points
out, however, in France, where class dis
tinctiOns also exist, the monsieur and

it, is for the children while they are
young. When they are in their teens
it is easy to make them understand
