Republican politicians, and particu-
larly those who have been making a
primary election campaign, are in hope
that the supreme court will hand down
q decision which will declare the pri-
mary election law unconstitutional.
Il guess the court will hardly do
this" said one Of the Republican candi-
dates for state senator at the capitol
yesterday, "but 1t would be a great
thing and save the legislature the trou-
bic of knocking out the law at the
coming session. 1t may be that / will
be shut out under the provisions of the
law next Tuesday. but fl am not and
secure the office, Twill do my best to
amend the law by striking out the en-
acting clause"
Chief Justice Start and Justices
Brown and Lewis were on the bench
yesterday when the argument was
made in the order to show cause why
the county auditor of Mower county
should not be directed to make certain
changes in the makeup of the primary
election ballot in that county. 3
Says Primary Is Election.
Attorney General Douglas, Lafayette
French and j. G. Catherwood, county
attorney and assistant county attorney,
of Mower county, appeared for Auditor
Johnson, and A. We Wright represented
John l.. Gulden, whotmade application
for the order changing the ballot.
Attorney Wright made his argument
on three points. First, that the pri-
mary election was not a nomination
but an election. Second, that the law
should be construed according to the
intent Of the legislature, which was
that there should de a blank space on
the ballot after the name of each can
didate, n if there was no candidate
nominated by the party represented
on the ballot, thenfa blank space should
be left after the name of each Office.
Third, that if the legislature did not
intend to provide flor the leaving of a
blank space after the names of the
office then the law was unconstitutional
and void.
Case Is Under Amusement.
Attorney General Douglas commended
that If the blank space was left on the
ballot the intent of the law, which was
to prevent persons affiliating with n
party from taking part in the nominal
ton of the other. would be destroyed.
In reply to the point made that the
primary election was not a nomination
but an election, the attorney general
quoted sections of the law which pro-
vided for the plan of nominations and
so mentioned this action.
Particular stress was laid by him on
section 4, chapter 312, of the Laws of
1901, which prohibits fusion. If blank
spaces were allowed som the primary
ballot 1t would make possible one can
didate receiving nominations from both
parties, he maintained.
Chief Justice Start inquired particu-
larly as to the point made by the at
torney for the applicant as to the right
of franchise being involved in the NOM
nation.
Last evening Chief Justice Start said
the matter had been taken under ad-
visement and that a decision would
probably be rendered today.
"The question is a new n and Of
much Importance" said he, land the
court is now preparing the decision"

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIDGE REPORT.
Committee Recommend the Construction of
Steel Bridge With Single Span on the Pres
ent Site, the Structure to Be High Enough
so That Grade Crossing Can Be Avoided In
the Event of an Electric Road.

/ The resolution under which this
committee was appointed does not re-
quire of us an expression of opinion or
recommendation. yet as individuals we
take the liberty of making the follow
ing suggestions:
We realize that it is important ana
desirable that the new bridge shall be
so constructed as to make ii possible
that the railroad crossing may be
above the tracks, so that an electric
line or street railway may be built eX-
tending from Brattleboro to Hinsdale
Independent of the steam railway
crossing at grade, because there can be
no grade crossing by a street railway
over a steam railroad without permits
sion of the state railroad commission
ers. a grade crossing, we apprehend,
would be vigorously opposed by the
railroad company, especially if the
electric line was permitted to carry
freight Surely the people of Brattle
boro would be benefited by an cleo
trio railway line to Hinsdale that had
the right TO carry freight, as that
would give freight competition.
We are informed by our engineer
that a bridge can be so constructed
that its roadway may, at any future
time, be raised at a small additional
expense, not to exceed five or six hun
dred dollars: therefore the committee
take the liberty to suggest that it may
be the best way, at present, to construct
a steel bridge on the present site, with
a single span, without a center pier),
with 20 feet roadway and six feet
sidewalk strong enough for an electric
road to be operated across it: that the
new bridge be raised five or six feet
higher than the old one and in such
manner that the bridge roadway there
on may be raised at some future time.
if desired, and make no change al
present, at the railroad crossing. 4
steel bridge can be so constructed, in
cluding abutments, as we understand,
for an amount not exceeding $50, 600 in
all, and with a reasonable expectation
that the bidders will go below this
amount if given ample time to do it,
We cannot recommend bridge to be
located either at the canning factory
site or at Walnut street because of the
great expense.

, with New York and Boston capitalists,
bought back the Rutland railroad
stool. from .he Delaware / Hudson
! Canal company. \ series of purchases
/ and consultations followed, which
with the construction of the Rutland
Canadian railIoad across the waters
and through the islands of Lake Cham
plain. have brought about the present
Rutland system made up of 40 miles
of road in the states of Vermont and
New York and a line of eight steam
ships running from Ogdensburg to Chi
cago. The company when Mr.. Glenn
ent first took charge of it was operat-
ing l36 miles. As a result of these
purchases and consultations the mar
ket value of the company's stock rose
to Sl2l per share this year as against
50 per share in 1889.
Mr.. Clement was sent from Rutland
to the house of Representatives in 1892
to secure a city charter for Rutland,
and was successful in his mission. In
1897 he was elected mayor of Rutland,
the choice of members of both parties
He was re elected the following year,
but declined to become a candidate
for a third term. During his admin
istration much permanent work was
done, the city expenses were kept with
in the revenue, and part of the mu
nicipal debt was paid, for the first
time since the chartering of the city.
This was partly due to the reorganiza-
tion of the city business methods on
plan based on business principles pro-
posed and carried out by Mayor Glenn
ent At present Mr. Clement repre-
sents Rutland county in the state SEN
ate.
In 1888 Mr. Clement who has al
ways been a Republican, began TO urge
the repeal of the prohibitory law of
the state through the medium of his
newspaper, the Rutland Herald. Po-
litical associates have tried to dis
saude him from this course, but he
has kept up a constant agitation in ia
vor of high license and local option.
The result-is that while for years not
a Republican paper in the state favor
ed repeal, several now denounce the
law.

FACTS ABOUT THE COUNTY SEAT.
Relative Merits of Brattleboro and Newfane
in Regard to the Accommodation of People
Who Have Business in Court-Tables Com
piled from the Lists of the Last Term.

In the discussion of the proposed
change of the county seat it is well for
the people of the county TO know ex-
actly where the county court business
comes from: to know the relative mer
its of Newfaue and Brattleboro as to
accommodating the people who have
the business in court. Both the court
and jury trial lists for the last March
term of court have been carefully gone
over, the residence of each party to
every case on the lists has been found,
and the table following gives their
residence. Where a corporation Is a
party, the town where it has its prin-
cipal place of business is given as its
residence. All the parties residing out
of the county and state. are classed as
under the Brattleboro list with one ex-
ception, for with this exception they
would have to come through Brattle-
boro to reach county court One party
resides in Weston, and that is classed
in the Newfane list as it should be of
course. In the table following those
town which by the natural means of
communication are nearer to or handler
to Brattleboro are classed in the Brat
tleboro list: and those that are nearer
to or handler to Newfane are classed
in the Newfane list. Grafton and Som
erset are omitted from these lists as il
might fairly be question as to each
of those towns whether their people
could more easily reach Brattleboro or

They have now about forty. The new plant will be located next to the Myers, Mcleod & Fisher mill, and the two $1 200 buildings will, when they have served their purpose, become the property of those who contributed the necessary bonus.

SUFFERED SERIOUS FIRE.
Town Of Newark Visited By Twenty five Thousand Dollar Fire Supposed To Have Been Started By
 Incendiaries


 Newark, the prosperous little town, IA miles above here on the White River branch of the Iron Mountain Railroad has again been visited by an- other destructive fire, which this time carried away three of the newly con- structed brick store buildings.
 The total loss will probably aggre- gate about $25, ,oOo, but this is partially covered by nearly $15,O0o insurance. The fire is supposed to have had an incendiary origin, though there is no proof of this belief, which is held to generally among the residents of Newark.
 The INDEPENDENT was acquainted with the facts, so far as they are known, by telephonic communication with Dr. J. I. Sturdivant.
 The fire was observed about four o'clock Tuesday morning, just about daylight, and the whole town was soon on the scene. It was first no ticed in the front part of the store of J. M. Martin & Company and spread rapidly. The store of J. M. Martin & Company faces south and to the west was the store building of Griffi tn and Morrow, while on the east was the sa- loon of w. T. Magness & Son, both separated however from the Martin building by an intervening distance.
 This did not save them however as the heat of the flames fired them both and destroyed the interiors, leaving the brick walls standing. The store of s. O. Bean lies still further to the east and this was only saved after he- roic work by the citizens, who formed a bucket brigade, as the town has no regular fire company.
 Newark's last big fire was of incen- diary origin, Hubbard Head having been arrested and tried for the offense, but was not convicted. Indications tend to show that the city's growth has again been set back hy the brand of the fire bug, but no arrests have been made, nor is it probable that there will be, unless new evidence is brought to light

 4. HOFFMAN said, "What led him to the Jordan was his business as 9 baptizer. This action consisting in complete immersion, represents the symbolical sign language, indispensi- ble to an oriental, which accompanies the inner experience of repentance. .D
 RIGGENBACH says, "John extends ablution to complete immersion, that lis really baptism, dipping in deep. Tn Johns baptism the people were to confess their sins, and by this speak ing sign, express the doctrine that the impure man must entirely disappear, and emerge again purified.n
 If a minister in the church of Christ had used such language, it would be pronounced, baptismal regenera- tion, :" water salvation,n but coming as it does from learned Presbyterian commentator, it will be more pal atably received.

WHAT PRESBYTERIAN SCHOLARS SAY.
 A-JoHN's BAPTISM OF JESUS.
 In 1899 Dr, Mclaren in his s. s. Lesson Comments, in the s. s. Times said that Jesus was immersed. At once number of gentlemen wrote protests to Dr. Trumbull, the editor, to which he replied as follows in the issue of August 6:
 1. Most christian scholars of every denomination are agreed in finding the primitive meaning of the word baptize to be, to dip,' to immerse. The sweep of scholarship in and out of the Baptist church is in favor of immersion as the principal meaning of the word baptize. A very large portion of the scholars of the world agree with Dr. Maclaren that immer- sion was the mode of Johns baptism" 7"
 2. DR. JNo. DIoDATI, of the Synod of Dort, says on Johns baptism, ''Plunged in the water for sacred sign and seal of the expiation and re- mission of sins"
 3. PHILIP SoHAFF, D. D. IL. D., Professor of Church History in the Union Theological Seminary, N. Y, says: 'sThe baptism of Christ in the river of Jordan, and the illustrations of baptism used in the New Testa- ment are all in favor of immersion rather than sprinkling, as is freely admitted by the best exegetes, Catholic and Protestant, English and German. Nothing can be gained by unnatural exegesis." Teachings pp. 55, 56.
 Without placing Mir. R. among exegetes of any class may not hope that he will see that nothing can be gained by such unnatural twisting of

REGENT DEPARTURE
 IN RAIDING TIGERS

Sheriff R. w. Randy, assisted by Deputy Lockhard Randy, raided the office of the Pacific Express Company Monday afternoon about o'clock and seized for confiscation fourteen full cases of bottled beer.
 The beer was shipped from Mem phis and consigned to s. Field, subject to his orders. Sheriff Randy believes the name to be a fictitious one and that the prohibited wet goods were intended for the Temperance Saloon, formerly run by Robt. Simmons, which has again been reopened.
 The barn and other houses about the home of Robt Simmons were also searched but without success so far as finding any tspiritus frumenti" is concerned,
