Australian Ballot and Direct Nom
nation.

One very important thing about the
primary situation in Wisconsin IL that
what is undoubtedly nearest to a per-
feet law that has ever been enacted in
any state will be submitted to the
people for ratification mt the polls
Other states have the primary cleo
ton system some of them have had
it for years, The old prejudice against
the system sometimes crops out and
promises are made that the law will
be repealed, Az 1t was promised IN
Minnesota last fall that it would he re
pealed; as it has been attempted liz
Ohio, where there Is no primary law,
but where it is in force in some of the
counties; as it has been promised in
Kentucky that next Legislature
would wipe the law of the books, and
that there should be return to the
old caucus and convention system OF
making nominations; AZ there is an
occasional growl heard against the
Australian ballot system of voting ut
general elections. But the fact re
mains, that no state that has once en-
acted this primary election system in.
TO law has ever Afterwards repealed
or materially modified it. As the peo
pie have became accustomed TO the
idea that every man has the right, ana
that the law gives him the opportun-
ity to say directly, what candidates
he wishes to have nominated for office
FOR him to support, the law has grown
in favor, until to repeal it would be
no more possible than to repeal the
Australian ballot law and return to
the old west pocket" ballot system,
with party workers standing about
the ballot box to spot the vote of any
citizen, and keep record of il for
future use.
The direct nomination law is but
one more step in the exact line of the
Australian ballot law, The fight TO
get the law M nearly enacted as IT is in
Wisconsin today has been n bitter one,
but not 80 bitter ~ was the fight for
the Australian ballot law when it was
enacted The opposition to the direct
vote has been made by the same pow
ers that opposed the Australian ballot

and predictions were made that they
would never go into disuse. But sud

ed that tan shoes were to Ego out"
and soon thereafter, and just as sud
denly, the tan shoe began to disappear,

president of the senate and a member
of the foreign relations committee, re-
plying this evening to the question put
by the Associated Press correspondent
why the committee had not yet reported

been cooled somewhat on reports from
Washington regarding the opposition to
the bill, and the various amendments
pending there.
Senor Capote said:
I'VE regard the United States as the
party of the second part. The Cuban
senators have not been inclined to ap-
prove what may be disapproved in vari-
GUS particulars at Washington. I can
assure you emphatically that the report
Of our committee will be favorable, and
that ratification by the senate is GER

THE STATEHOOD BILL.
A Test Vote on the Measure Taken in
the Senate.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Quay
made an effort Tuesday to hold the SEN
ate in continuous session to consider
the statehood bill. bat failed to hold a
quorum and was compelled on that ac-
count to allow the senate to adjourn at
6: 90 p. IN.
He secured another ballot, however,
to test the sentiment of the senate, the
vote standing II to % in his favor
Mr.. Lodge in protest against night
session recalled Mr.. Quay's lengthy
speech in opposition to the Wilson
German tariff bill. saying the speech
was so powerful that mere look at
the manuscript was eatt1cient to secure
the amendments.
Mr.. Lodge narrated how he one day
had come into the capitol and founS Mr..
Quay walking up and down the c6Sridor
smoking a cigar.
"rWhat is going on?' I asked.
"I am making a Speech replied Mr..
Quay.
II went on to the chamber" contin-
ued Mr.. Lodge, "and found the senator
from New Hampshire (Mr. Gallingerl
reading the speech CT the senator from
Pennsylvania, while the latter was TAX
ing much-needed rest"
Most Of the day was spent in con-
sideration of the statehood bill, with
the exception of an hour devoted to a
speech by Mr.. Scott, Of West Virginia,
on the pension laws.
The feature of the statehood bill un-
der special consideration yesterday
was the Arizona refnnding proposition.
1t was charged that the territory has
sought to repudiate bonds held by Hon.
Bird S. Coler, late democratic candidate
for governor of New York state.
Mr.. Beveridge presented petition
from the Indian Territory for statehood,
which was read at the senator's request.
He then proceeded to explain his rea-
son for the reading, whereupon Mr.. AL
drich demonstrated. saying that it was
opposed to the senate rules to read Il
petition in detail and also to enter into
debate upon It, He said that both prac-
tices were growing in the senate and
that both were reprchensible. When
the routine business was concluded Mr..
Quay moved totake IN the statehood bill
He was met by Mr.. Aldrich with point
OF order to the effect that under the
rules OF the senate L@e IliolioH WIS ous
of order and that the bill could not he
taken UP before 8 o'clock without unan-
imous consent. Mr.. Quay responded
that this rule was alternative, permit
ting business to proceed after the con-
clusion of the routine business or at j
o'clock. The chair (Mr. Frye) said he
was inclined to decd- against the poinI
and expressed desire to hear from Mr..
Aldrich, but Mr.. Scott claimed the floor
on a previous notice and proceeded to
address the senate.

Crazy Mans Freak.

Springfield, H.. Jan. 2S.-A crank
who afterward gave the name OF Will
liam Alexander. visited the executive
Office this morning and created consfe-
erable excitement by persistent de-
mand to Immediately see Dick. whom
he insisted was a personal friend OF
his. Gov. Yates was not at the eX-
ecutive office when the stranger ar
rived, and ne startled John Oglesby, the
GOVERNORS private secretary.
where's Dlck?" he demanded and
iurricdly followed the question saying:
'I must see him Immediately on import
s.nt business" Before Oglesby could
regain his ccmposure the stranger ex-
citedly declared: Dicks friend of
mine, and I have important business
with him"
Oglesby thought it would be we'll to
pacify the fellow. but ~ efforts only
succeeded in making the stranger more
boisterous, and it finally was neces-
sary to call upon the local police de
partment. Alexander Yves locked up
pending an examination Of his mental
condition.

Navaioes starv;no.

Durango, Colo, Jan. 2s.-The Navaja
Indians on their reservation in New
Mexico, sixty or seventy miles from
here. are starving. The story is given;
on the authority of white residents OF
that section. A correspondent says:
Hundreds of these reople are starvina
and suffering from the cold. Some Of
the children wear nothing but calico
shirts and many are naked. From three
to five inches of snow has fallen on
several occasions. Last seasons drouth,
left the Indians without crops and
when the rivers and springs dried up
their stock was perishing for food and
drink. The squaws have been unable
to- get material with which to weave
blankets. They have given up all their
cheap silver jewelry and trinkets for
flour and meat long ago."

Chairman Gray Discusses the Matter.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.-The anthra-
cite coal strike commission today
heard additional testimony from the
Independent operators. Examinations
of witnesses by miners counsel waH
conducted with view to ascertaininx
the reasons why operators preferred I'd
permit the flooding of mines rathe9
than grant employees an eight -houf
working day.
John Weber, superintendent, said. "a
his opinion, the company wanted to
manage its own business. Attorney
Darrow asked that the presidents e
the coal carrying roads be brought be
fore the commission in order to refut,
the testimony that the miners had linn
tied the coal production. The miners
believe the restrictions had been mads

companies have limited the supply be-

looked at the economic side of this

not. Attorney Dickson, OF the compa-
MES, stated during 1901, and up to the
time of the strike in 1902, the output a.
coal was restricted by concerted action
The strike was known to be at hand
and the operators made every effort
possible to store as much coal as pOssl-
BILE. The operators, he said, are anxious
to keep market prices down by securing
an adequate supply for the demand, and
also for reserve. Darrow said he de-
sired the presence of President Baer Of

sible for the alleged restrictions. Chair
