Madison, Jan. 26-The democratic
successor to the republican leader OF
the opposition Of the last session TO
the enactment of a primary election
law, Senator Ernest Merton, who took
the place of A. NJ. Oong) Jones OF
Waukesha, introduced a primary cleo
tion bill into the senate tonight, not
withstanding the fact that the last
democratic state platform declared
against the primary election princl-
Pile Senator Merton is known to be
a friend of the administration, at
least in regard to primary elections.
His bill contains some features Of
those that have been introduced by
the administration members Of the
ssembly-Andrew and Frear-and
has the precise voting system of the
Frear bill, in which there is provided
a separate ballot box as receptacle
for the discarded tickets, thus pre-
serving the secrecy of the vote. 1t
also provides for a state convention
to formulate the platform, a nomina-
ton petition Of 5 per cent. of the
party vote at the last preceding gen
eraI election, the nomination of Unit
ed States senator's by primary cleo
ton 1t further provides: mo pei
son shall be eligible to a renomina-
ton or reelection for the fourth sue
cessive term to any office nor until
after the expiration of an intervening
term of office after the third term,
and all persons, excepting sheriffs
shall be eligible to second and third
terms the same as other officers, eX-
cepting in counties containing cities
of the first class"
In the lower house Assemblyman
Dudgeon was a busy member, intro
ducing four of the ten bills that were

torneys, one was to give back certain
sums of money paid by number Of

ter there had been a change in the

fourth was introduced so that a land

SENATOR O'NEILL OFFERS FACE
TIoUS RESOLUTION.
ONLY EIGHT ARE PRESENT
Upper House Attended Largely in
Absenta and Member From Wash
burn Proposes Missing Ones be
Asked to Tender Their Services in
Defense of the Monroe Doctrine.
Madison, Jan. "a.


The facetious Senator Bill O'NeiIl
Of Washburn created a laugh in the
senate yesterday morning by Offering
a resolution that the rs absent sena-
tors be requested to tender their pa
triotic services to the government in
defense of the Monroe doctrine.
The senate convened at 10 o'clock
with eight members present. The
roll call was dispensed with and leave
of absence was granted to absentees.
A communication was received from
the assembly referring to the passage
of some resolutions. After the intro
duction Of Senator O'Neills resoIu-
ton. a motion by Senator Mosher to
adjourn until Monday night at $3.50
was carried The laugh-creating resO-
luton, which was referred by Lieut..
Gov. Davidson to the committee on
military affairs, was as follows:
Whereas, the alarming news of the
aggressions Of the allied powers in
South Ame;ica assures us that the
Monroe doctrine is in danger,
BE it resolved that the absent sen
atOrs are requested to tender their
services to the government at once,
so that the patriotism of our grand
old state be shown at this the first
intimation of danger to our time
honored doctrine"

ABOUT sABoTs AND eALocHEs.
As They Are Made and Worn in New
York.

As They Are Made and Worn in New
York.
The Philadelphia doctor who recon-
mends wooden shoes and says they
can be had at 20 cents a pair can
hardly buy them at any such price IN
New York. The sabot makers here
are mostly in the French quarters
old and new. Galoches, which are
shoes of leather with heavy wooden
soles, are more used in New York
than the sabot proper, a shoe all of
wood. A galoche maker of the new
French quarter, who speaks almost no
English, but is amiabiity itself, pro-
duces half dozen different kinds of
such shoes.
He sells them by the dozen pairs TO
the shoe dealers and other shopkeep-
ers OF the quarter, and the wholesale
price is from $11 to SIG a dozen pairs
The cheapest are heavy shoes with a
low upper of unyarnished stiff black
leather without lining Better shoes
are lined and vanished. They retail
at prices varying between $150 and
1880 pair.
True sabots all of wood are made By
workman near the shop of the
galoche maker. The sabOt made here
has the high pointed toe, traditional in
the shoe of the European peasant.
The woods used are tulip poplar.
known as white wood, the same that
went to make the panels of the won.
derful one horse shay, maple and
birch. The Iightest is poplar, the
most durable, but much the heaviest,
is birch.
The sabOt maker buys his wood
from a Westside undergrad in biz
lets of suitable size and shapes it in
wise, and with very sharp proper hOl-
lowing tools. When finished the sabot
has a thickness varying from three
quarters of an inch to an inch and a
half The sharp toe of solid wood is
formidable thing to kick with, some
what akin to the naval ram in it's de-
structiye qualities. These shoes sell
at prices varying from So to $3.50 a
pair. Those made with special care
may lie as high as So pair.
In spite of the fact that one rarely
sees a person wearing galoches or
sabots in the streets of New York,
great many of them are worn in the
city. The man who makes galOches
for the trade is as busy as possible all
day and every day, turning them out
by the dozen. There are also other
makers, and some are imported.
used much by persons who work in
damp cellars. The ice-Cream makers
use them. So do some bakers, and
they are used in laundries Some are
sent into the country and used by the
farmers. They are used ty the French
colony of the Bronx at WilIiamsbridge
1t used to be chat one occasionally
saw an old woman in the downtown
French quarter Gathering about the
streets in sabots, but the new quarter
is so much surrounded and penetrated
by people other than french that me
sabot wearers usually put on leather
shoes before going out of doors.
The lest looking of the galoches
might easily be worn without attract
ing attention. They merely look like
an unusually heavy shoe.
