whether or not to withdraw 1t is
known that he will and that ex-Gov-
ernor Edward ScofeId will be appoint
ed by the Stalwart State Central Com

The action was brought in equity by
adherents of s. A. Cook. the Stalwart
nominee for Governor. and was to re-
strain Secretary of State Houser from
certifying to the County Clerks the
names Of the La Toilette candidates as
the regular Republicans.
In answering the suit the Governors
followers contended that the proceed

the convention was the only body with
power to name candidates, and further
that the court had no jurisdiction in
the matter.

the same political party, preference in

The decision then goes on to uphold
the right of the State committee chosen
at the convention Of 1902 to decide
which of the two Republican conyen-

a speech said that the Supreme Court
did not decide the merits Of the Repub-

seat is turned up alongside one side

next to it. A spring engages with the
edge of the back, preventing it from
accidentally dropping. The seat being
folded toward the back, the latter is
free from connection with the next
side frame, thus affarding numerous
comparatively free passageways. 1t is
possible, though not desirable, by en-
ploying this style of chair, to entirely
dispense with the middle and side
passages or aisles.

TYPELEss PRINTING.
An Invention That May Greatly Simplify
the Art Preservative.

An Invention That May Greatly cHmp1AAy
the Art Preservative.
The lithotype or typeless printing
system invented by w. $. Timmins, OF
Brooklyn, may, when perfected, largely
take the place of the ordinary system.
The first operator sits at keyboard
somewhat like that Of typewriter,
and begins to write. AS he touches the
keys strip Of paper issues from the
machine with the characters perfor-
ated in il and runs into another device
where automatically a proof or print
Is made from it in column form as
from movable type, with greasy black
ink upon white paper.
The proof is corrected oy writing out
on the machine the corrections and
pasting them in the column over the
errors. The long column Of printed
matter is then cut into short columns
Of desired length and pasted on a board
which in turn is pressed against an
aluminium plate with the result that a
greasy impression Of the letters is
made upon the surface.
1ue diuulHum pldleS are Till as
cardboard and are clamped on the
cylinder Of printing press 1t is
claimed that the. grease characters are
as distinct as and more durable than
metal type, it being possible to run
off million copies without any efface-
ment.
To issue a second edition it is only
necessary to preserve the aluminium
plates or to go back to the perforated
tape and feed it into the second part
Of the lithotype apparatus and get
the long column of proof again. II the
edition is desired in a different style
Of type it is only necessary to attach
a different typewheel to the machine
that cuts the tape.
s"rhe new invention says one
writer, "means among other things, no
typesetting, no type distributing, no
stereotyping, no justifying of lines, no
standing matter, no money invested in
type-only machine the size Of two
typewriters, and press. 1t might
almost be said that no more thinking
is required, for even that is done by
the machine"
