San Franciso, April 1S.-The Call
says startling developments are prom
ised in the Charles Fair case, now be-
fore the New York courts. 1t is al
most damaging to the testimony given
few days ago in New York by Lu-
Glen Mas and Alfred J. Morane, French
men, who were called to recount GER
tain incidents attending the death OF
Charles Fair and wife in France.
which, if true. would strongly tend to
establish as fact that Mrs. Fair sur
yived her husband. and thus left her
own relatives direct heirs to fortune
inherited under these circumstances to
her husband
1t has been learned, continues the
Call that the sl:ull of the late Mr.. and
Mrs, Fair, whose bodies We're shipped
back to San Francisco after they had
been relinquished by the French au-
thorities, have been reserved, and are

the time comes for refuting evidence
given at New York. Whether they
will be sent to New York or remain
here is a matter that is wholly depend
ent upon move that is to be shortly
undertaken to have the case transfer
red to the courts of this city
When the bodies of the Fairs were
received in New York from France
they were discovered to be in such a
decomposed condition that it was
deemed advisable to hasten the fune-
raj in San Francisco. 1t is stated that
the funeral was followed by an autopsy
that included decapitation of both
bodies, an operation that was made by
Drs. Galway and Robinson. The tes-
timony of Mas and Morane that Mrs
Fair was living when they approached
the bodies and blood was streaming
down one side of her face is contradic-
ted by the concrete evidence of the
woman's skull. 1t can be shown by the
skull that such would have been i'm
possible, it is claimed. The skull of
Charles Fair is now in the safe keep
ing of his friends. but not crushed in
the manner described my the French
witnesses. In fact, it remains intact
although showing a depression caused
by forceful contact which resulted in
conclusion of the brain and death of
the man.

THE POOR MAN RACKET.


The poor man racket is another plea
of the long and untiring feeders IN oppo-
sition to nominations by primary cleo
tions. The long feeders favor the cut
and dried" convention system because II
can be manipulated to meet their AIMS
and purposes \ primary is more or less
embarrassing and uncertain IN It's con-
c1usivcncss and results. The advocates Of
the old convention system pretend SIN
cerity when they aIlege that no poor man
can lie a candidate for any State office
and Win i'll primary unless he has at
his hands barrel of money. But what
is the poor mans opportunity IN con-
vcntion which is stocked against him?
1t has been developed in Mississippi that
the primary system is not more eNpen-
sive to the candidate, say for governor,
than the convention, and one of the ad
vantages of the primary is that every
poor man entitled to vote may cast his
ballot directly for the candidate of his
choice. How many poor men can afford
the luxury of a trip to the convention a,
cost Of from $50 to $50? Having been
complimcntcd as delegate, and being
unable to spend the money necessary for
the trip, the poor man remains at home
and the delegates attending, as 4 rule,
yOta whit and -, soma
unit has been one or two officehoders
who could enjoy the luxury and who,
having some direct interest in view, can
be easily persuaded to throw their
influence to the man whose nomination
gives assurance of good practical results
for them and their friends. AS a conse-
quence the convention is manipulated in
keeping with the cut and dried pro-
gram in which the poor man at best cuts
a sorry figure. Seriously considered, the
poor mans play and opportunity is strict
ly in the nomination of governor and all
State and local officers through primary
elections where the poor mans vote will
count and be of equal value as the vote
of the man vino rolls in wealth or is pos
sessed of the most lucrative public office.
A convention, as rule, with rare excep-
ton, is simply the expression of few
men, concerned in select few, but the
expression of the majority at primary
election fairly and honestly conducted
reflects the will of the people, at least the
sense of the majority of the Democrats
who vote.

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S FAIRNESS.

1t has been some time since an inter-
view has attracted such widespread at
tentlon as the one with Admiral George
dewey, which was secured through the
enterprise of the Newark Daily News
last week and published in that paper. 1t
was taken up by the metropolitan press
all over the country, copied and COM
mented upon, and still continues to be
the talk Of diplomatic circles in Wash
ington. The interview itself was charac-
terlstic of Admiral Dewey, but his stand
IN regard to it, when it was brought to
the attention of the officials, was even
more So He has consistently refused to
retraet anything, and he still insists that
he said only what he meant to say. There
IS no effort on his part to shift the re-
sponsibility upon the shoulders of the
newspaper representative, Or to give the
impression that he was instructed or MT
in false position.
The attitude of Admiral Dewey in this
regard is in sharp contrast with that of a
good many public men who have been
interviewed by a newspaper representa-
tive and then been taken to task about it.
10 squlrm Out and lay all the blame
II there is any--on the reporter is so
easy and has become such common
practice that the stand which Admiral
Dewey has taken in this recent matter
stands out as a sort of little oasis in
the experiences of newspaper men with
public characters. The admiration IN
which Admiral Dewey has always bee
held for his treatment of the press has
been only increased by the eminent fair
ness which he has displayed in regard to
this recent ineident-New York Editor
and Publisher, April 4.

OPPONENTS OF PRIMARIES.

The Homer Gt1ardian-Journ says
"The opponents of nominating by pri-

the governors office of its vast and ex-
tensive patronage, consist largely of a
compact and we'll organized force and is
composed to no small extent of office
