The. other two members had likewise in ad- vance of their decision declared thetr anten- tion to oust the plaintiffs.
 Going Into the argument for the jurisdac- ton of this court, he said that this acton had its bass in the provision of the four tesanth amendment of the constitution of tine United States He quoted Justice liar Ian as saying that a state may not dlsre- gard by any of its agents the privileges Of this seo,ton by taking life, liberty or prop erty without due process of law. He went on to define the mean ming of libsnty so as to include in it tine right to vOse to have the right to vote, to have the vote counted, and the officers elected permitted to exercise the functions of theGr office. Judge Tatt here oreeeed a diversion by asking II the right to vote granted by the fourteenth amendment was to women. Governor Bradley admitted that while women had not the right to vote, it was nevertneIess true that authorized electors are entrtled to protection by the federal courts against amy state which undertakes to nullify that vote'
 Maxwell for the Defense
 Lawrence Maxwell, Jr., on behalf of the defendants, made a brief argument on the two propositions that this court nan no jurisdiction because the petitions do not present a case of equity and do not fall under the provision of the fourteenth amendment of the United States constitu- tion. He said the situation was one in which the position of these compliments is in course of settlement by state tri- bunal. Contest proceedings in their cases are pending. He claimed there was no ground whatever for federal interference. He rid lied the position of the plaintiffs, vino, NLsle still in the process of ascertain ing whether mot they had been elected, proposed to throw aside their professions Of the state law, and asked the power or this court on their behalf.
 A. D. Wilson, for the plaintiffs, followed in a brief argument, in which he took much time In reading authors on the sub ject of Jurisdiction.
 J. A. Scott, for the defendants, made the point that court could not interfere and prevent the future action of the board Of contest. He said the only real attack which had fbeen made on the Goebel law was that it provided that all the election cop1sap.sstoneFs throughout the state should benpartisan democrats. He ridiculed the idea of making this the ground of inter- ference of. this court and insisted that the right to hold office vas ont one of the rights defined in the fourteenth amend ment of the constitution. He went on to argue against the jurisdiction of this court saying he thought the rule to lbe followed should be raher miserly than covetous dn taking Jurisdiction.
 After the conclusion of the arguments Judge Taft advised counsel that he would announce his decision so far the court having jurisdiction in the cases concerned at 2 D. m. Wednesday next.

ARGUMENTS IN
 INJUNCTION CASE Judge Taft Takes the Question Under Consideration. WILL DECIDE WEDNESDAY, His Decision at That Time Will be on the Question as to Whether
 His Court Has Ju
 risdiction M
WILL DECIDE WEDNESDAY

Cincinnati, O., February 12.-IH, the United States court of appeals. Judge w. HTaft heard arguments this afternoon for over three hours on the applications for injunctions against the Kentucky state board of election commissioners and the contestants for the state offices other than governor and 1ieutenant-governor.
 The large courtroom was unable to hold all who came to the federal building for admission. Very many of the visitors were from the Kentucky side. The plaintiffs were represented by Bradley, Wilson, Sweeny, and Yost, all of Kentucky The defendants were represented by Scott, Hem drick, Hager, and Maxwell, the latter be- ing a member of the bar of Cincinnati and the others of Kentucky.
 Ex-Governor Bradley for the plaintiff began in a statement of the ground upon which the action of the court is invoked. After reciting the provisions by which the state board of elections is converted into board of contest, he declared that they were entirely reipugnant to republican form Of government, which provides for three distinct departments. He asserted that this board of contest had been made judicial 6ody by the Goebel law. Judge Taft inquired whether the Goebel law had been passed upon by the court of ap- peals. Governor Bradley replied that it had been. but his contention was that in case he could show the law to be in contraven- tion of the federal constitution, that this court could be invoked.
 Judge Taft replied that decision of the state court on the constitutionality of the law did not necessarily prevent jursdic- ton by the United States court of appeals where proper case could be shown.
 Deprive Citizen of Rights
 Governor Bradley then went on to show in what respect the Goebel law deprives citizens of their rights. In this line, he spoke of the situation in Kentucky with re- gard to these complainants having been given the certificates of election by a vote of two ito one, and that now the only mem- Der of the board which is about to pass upon the contests, instituted by the cam didates, Is opposed to the plaintiffs. One, he said, had already officially declared that the board had the power to go behind the returns and thus to exercise judicial power
