the board of registry to register him as
voter on the ground that he became an
American citizen by virtue of the cession
Of Porto Rico by Spain to the United
States was denied today by Justice Freed

Justice Freedman in his opinion cites ar
ticle XIV of the Constitution of the United
States. stating that all persons born or
naturalized in the United States and sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens
of the United States and of the state where
they reside. The moving papers, he says,

M'KINLEY AND THE WEST,

~ EPORTS from the West, the
erstwhile stronghold of Bryan
/ \ ism and Populism, are in every
way encouraging for the Re-
publican party. Senator Scott, of West
Virginia, brings interesting reports from
Colorado and predicts that the state will
cast its electoral vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt this year, Senatar Scott is
no rainbow chaser, he has good sound
basis for his prediction. While he was
in Pueblo Mckinley club was organized
with sixty-seven members. OF that mum.
Der sixty-four voted for Bryan in 1896.
1t does not require a prophet to for
tell how Colorado will vote if such
ratio of Republican gain or even
margin of it is kept up all over the state.
And Senator Scott says Silver Republi-
cans everywhere are turning to NJ Kinley.
Kansas and Nebraska he refuses to put
in the doubtful column. The secret Of
the political revolution in the West is
told in two words-prosperity and eX-
pansion. The promises made by the
Republicans in 1895 Of good times to
come have been more than realized,
while the dismal predictions of the
Bryanites Of calamity to follow McKin-
ley's election have forever discredited
them as political seers. As for expan-
sion, the West is for it because it believes
in advancing, not in standing still or
retrealins, And then it remembers that
but for an -Epansion policy n the past
thcr. you'd have been no great Vest in
this nation. There is revolt against
calamity bowling and cowardice, ard
when the West is aroused to the fighting
pitch it never does things by halves.
Bryan will be buried out OF sight.

TO PRESI- when I was looking up another
DENT. matter. AS every one knows. the
Vice-Presidency originally re-
garded almost a par with the Presidency.
and the greatest in the land eagerly sought 1t
in the beginnings OF the Republic. George Wash
tngton's Vice President was John Adams who sue
ceeded him in the Presidential ofhce. John Adams
when President had Thomas Jefferson for his
Tice-President. and was in turn succeeded by him
Jefferson had close fight for the first office with
Aaron Burr whom he defeated by the closest OF
margins Burr took the lesser ONCE which he
held at the time he fought that historic and dis
astrous duel which resulted in Alexander Hamil-
tons death and put final period TO Burrs polit-
ical career. Martin Van Buren, also served as
Nice-President prior to becoming President. These
three men were elected the greater office
after holding the lesser office. but since Van
Buren, who had been Vtce-PFesident
has been elected President. Vice-President John
Tyler succeeded William Henry Harrison
the latter's death. month after he took
the oath of office. and Willard Fillmore stepped
from the VicePresdency into the Presidency upon
the death of Zachary Taylor. An assassin's
bullet put Johnson in the first office in the gift of
the people and his subsequent actions therein al
most brought his deposition therefrom The muir
der of Garfield brought Chester A. Arthur for
ward These are all the Vice-Presidents who have
served as Presidents
