No such development occurred or
was expected on the democratic
ticket. as but one candidate, Mayor
Daggett, was up for nomination and
his machine never slipped cog all
day. Therein the democrats out
generated the republicans in ma
chine work. They saw that there
was no division over the head Of
the ticket
Mr.. Doust had the republican
county machine solidly behind him,
the support being SO pronounced
that Prosecuting Attorney Barn
hart openly announced that his
deputies would be required to work
for the nominee. But the people
swamped the machine-where they
had chance. The democrats gave
them no chance.
The democrats have probably
their error in their primary calcu-
lations by throwing supports to
Moore to insure Dousts defeat.
That this was done on the theory
that Moore would be easier to de-
feat than Doust Is not concealed.
More than 1000 city hall machine
votes were cast for Mr.. Moore. At
II o'clock, when the polls opened,
200 democrats were turned loose
with instructions to bring in votes
and instruct them for Moore. The
Doust people voted almost their en-
tire strength early. At O'Clock a
force of nearly 400 democrats were
called out with instructions to vote
not less than each for Moore. The
Moore strength did not show until
supper time when democrats
known to be such appeared in all
precincts and asked for republican
ballots. Doust headquarters were
notified OF this and instructions
were given to begin challenging.
Challenging was done freely but in
every instance the challenged stat
ed they intended supporting the re-
publican ticket. 1t was like dirty
politics, but it served to beat one
machine by use of another if Moore
was in danger.
The election will settle whether
the democratic machine was adroit
in this. Republican leaders who

U.S.RECORDS
DESTROYED
(Scriprs News Associa.ion.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a
Recent inquiries instituted by the
Carnegie institute have brought to
light that neglect or stupidity on
the part of congress has led to the
destruction of great quantities of
archives and official state papers
which are of Unreasonable value,
and, indeed, can never be replaced.
These records have been sent to a
paper mill in Alexandria, Va, and
ground into pulp.
1t is now found that great part
of the early records of the postal
department have been destroyed.
Among these records were set OF
letter books with the full CORE
spondence between the young re-
public and foreign nations, touching
our postal relations. And other de-
partments of the government have
suffered in similar manner. Experts
of the Carnegie institute say these
records were the original sources of
history of the United States. and
ought to have been guarded with
the greatest care.

must be held upon the same day as
the primary elections are held; And
provided further that no can
didate's name shall be printed upon
the election ballot until he shall
have paid the fee provided by law
to be paid by candidates to be
nominated at primary elections for
like Offices
That seems to he plain enough,
but the socialists are going to make
another fight and will bring man
damus proceedings at once to com
pell the city clerk to accept the list
OF nominations made last evening.
Judge Richardson, on behalf of
the socialist party. of which he is
a prominent member, said today
that the intent of the law seemed to
be to shut the socialists out alto
gether and on that ground will be
attacked as unconstitutional, The
socialists hold that in going back
to the convention style of nominal
Ing they also revert back to the
law governing conventions, which
fixed no filing fee, and that restric-
tons on this law is an infringement
on personal liberty.
In the hearing Of the contest
brought by the socialists to force
place on the primary ballot, the
court ruled that the party was dis
qualified by having failed to cast
10 per cent OF the vote at the last
preceding election. An effort was
made at that time to secure a de-
cision on the refusal to pay the i'll
ing fee, but the court held that this
question was immaterial until a
contest was brought on the ques-
ton of filing convention nominees,
This is the point to be passed on
now, and it Is probably the most
important that could be raised UNI
der the new law, as II involves the
validity Of the statute.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a
President Roosevel, reply to
Honore Jackson, defending Roose-
velt's allusion to Meyer and Hay
wood as undesirable citizens, has
raised a storm of interest in labor
circles all over the country.
Jackson is secretary of the Cook
county, H., Moyer-Haywood confer
ence organization, helping the
cause of the accused miners, and
had written to Roosevelt in protest
against the remarks attributed to
him when the Hartman episode
was uppermost. The president at

the Meyer, Haywood, Debs type.

statement on the ground that 1t was
unfair and would unfavorably in
f1f1uence opinion against the men in
their coming trial in Idaho for al
legged completely for the assassina-
ton of Stuenenberg.
In reply Roosevelt plainly states
that he has nothing to retract and
that he was entirely Indifferent to
criticisms of his course regardless
of whether they come from capital
or labor. Roosevelt declares that
he expressed no opinion of the guilt
or innocence of the accused. and
declares that because man is on
trial does not free him from crit
icism. He holds that Meyer, Hay
wood and Debs stand as represen-
tatives of type of agitators whose
work has done as much to dis
credit labor as has the conduct Of
INSCRIPTIONS capitalists discredited
business dealings. They represent.
he argues, the men whose utter
ances have melted bloodshed and
violence, and this opinion is ex-
pressed Independent of whether the
court finds the accused guilty or in
nocent The president also states
that he was criticised by capitals
tic interests for including Hartman
in the mention of the accused
miners, but declares that he is as
Indifferent to one as the other. In
this position he challenges the sup

capitalist or laborer.
