THINKS THE MAYOR is IN 1T.
Prominent Republican Points To Re-
suit of Merchants League Election.

The way it looks to a man up a tree"
said the Republican ''Wise Guy" yesterday,
this man Ziegenhein is about the lvliest
corpse I've run against in many moon,
yet, ain'd It? Just about the time the gang
thinks it's time to screw down the lid on his
political coffin so that the mourners won't
notice the odor and begin knocking him
for II he comes out of his trance and
sduirns around just enough to knock down
the table with the candles on II and puts
the whole bunch in the dark again. / never
knew a corpse 10 spoil the fun at a wake
like he's doing.

League Club, They had an election over

or Directors: Who was made chairman OF

the City Central Committee, Ziegenhein's
stanchest friend. IL you can believe all you

folks think. There was a chance for Zie-
genhein's enemies TO get their work in. but
they didn't do IL. They are all members of

Kalbfel is one Of his closest friends in the
committee, in the club. in the push and ey-
erywhere else? II the Mayor caught his
enemies mapping then, what will he do in
the spring. with the Board of Directors
back of him?
If you think Ziegenhein isn't in good in
the Merchants League Club, then you
haven't been paying much attention to its
doings lately. At the election last Thurs
day they elected Wagner president Gus
Frey secretary and Tub Becker sergeant-at-
arms. Frey is Johnny Owens partner, and
owen is one OF the three men in the City
Central Committee who can be depended on
to stick with Ziegenhein until after ,ba
crash. Becker is another man who will
stand by the Mayor as long as possible in

COURT REFUSES TO INTERFERE.
Election Commissioners Must Inter-
pret Law Relative to Records.

Judge Fisher, sitting in Division No. 5 OF
the Circuit Court. yesterday gave an oral
opinion in the injunction suit brought by
the Board OF Election Commissioners
against William N. Horton. James j. But
Ter, W. E. Fisse and ]. c. Taussig. in the
Horton Butler congressional contest, pray
ing for an injunction to prevent the con-
testant opening the ballot boxes ana re-
counting the ballots.
In his opinion Judge Fisher said that he
had given the matter deep consideration
and had concluded that the court had no
power 10 determine the powers of the Elec-
ton Commissioners In such case The
statutes creating the board and defining its
powers, he said, were susceptible or inter-
probation by the Commissioners themselves
and he did not believe 1t the province of the
court TO advise them as TO their duties. He
therefore refused the permanent injunction
asked for and withdrew the temporary or
Ger granted last week pending the hearing
on the case
senting the Election Commissioners, said
Yesterday after the Judge had rendered his
decision, that he would prepare an opinion
for the guidance OF the Commissioners in
Il shall advise the Commissioners TO pur-
sue a middle course" he said, in view or
the fact that the Federal and State statutes
bearing on the point at issue conflict. / am

the records of the Election Commissioners

that portion of the State statutes which
prohibits the Commissioners from allowing
the ballots to be examined except under an
order of court. | believe that the intent OF
the law Is to permit the ballots to be ex-
amined and recounted, and certified copies
made, which may be used in evidence and
serve the same purpose as the originals.
NV advice will be to allow the ballots to be
examined and counted and copies thereof
made, but not to allow the originals to be
removed from the State"
All of the Commissioners were absent
from the city yesterday. and nothing could
be learned. in consequence. of what action
will be taken by them on the decision Of
