POPULAR
OPINION
NEW YORK HERALD ON
THIRD TERM TALK.
MAJORITY OF STATES FAVOR HIM
FOR, 1908 CANDIDATE RE-
PUBLICAN PRESIDENT.

The New York Herald has obtained
advices from numerous states as to
popular opinion concerning Roosevelt
and sums them up as follows:
That President Roosevelt is strong
1y in favor with the voters of the ma
tion after his recent controversy with
E. H. Hartman; that he is desired by
majority of the states as the republi-
can candidate in 1908 and that there is
danger of democratic triumph il any
other candidate than Mr.. Roosevelt is
chosen, is the consensus of opinion the
Herald is received in a canvass of all
of the states in the country outside Of
the SOUTH
California is put down as standing
with Roosevelt. The Herald's San
Francisco correspondent says: Lead
ing republicans of California favor
Roosevelt's denomination in 1905"
Taft is favored in many states as
second choice and Fairbanks is re-
garded by others as the conservative
choice.

DEMOCRAT MAY BE JUDGE.
WashIngton's Direct Primary Law
May Afford loophola.


Olympia-The provisions of the new
direct primary law make 1t more than
likely that the democratic party will
hereafter have one or more members
Of the supreme court bench of this
state.
The new law provides for separate
judicial ticket at primary elections.
This ticket is to be nonpartizan, the
names of the candidates to appear
without any political designation. The
second choice provision is also elm
mated from the judgeship Offices.
At the general election in 1908, three
members Of the supreme court are to
be chosen, to succeed Chief Justice H.
e. Hadley and Justices Milo A. Root
and Herman D. Crow. The names Of
all candidates will be on the ticket
without party designation, and the
three receiving the highest vote will
be nominated. The secretary of state
, is directed by the law to put only the
names of the three candidates thus
nominated on the ballot for the general
election in November.
This means that the judges will prac-
tically be elected at the September pri-
naries, instead of at the November
election. With only the names Of the
three candidates on the general cleo
ton ballot, 1t would of course be i'm
possible to elect any one in opposi-
ton to either of them.
So many republican candidates are
likely to go before the September pri-
naries as to divide the party vote and
result in some democratic candidate
receiving a plurality. This would leave
the republicans thus defeated off the
November ballot. 1t is the history OF
politics that the majority party is
always in the field with a multitude of
candidates, while the minority parties
generally unite on one man. 1t is
easy to sec that the democrats, by hav-
ing not to exceed three candidates for
the supreme bench at the September
primaries next year, are quite likely to
elect one or two of them unless the
republicans also unite on few candi-
dates.
Inc new PRIMARY ID" hhe"ioe ohin-
mates United States senators and
members of the legislature from the
second choice provisions. Section 10
of the law provides that where there
are four or more candidates of any
party for one state or congressional
office" the voter shall designate both
first and second choice. But section
is provides that Judges of the su-
preme and superior courts. state SEN
ators and representatives shall not
be considered state officers within the
meaning of the provisions of this act
relating to first choice and second
voting"

otates.

New Orleans, La.-Probably Is lives

gulf states and which was traceable

Controversy Between Western Roa6s
and Employees Settled.

Chicago-The general agreement
which was reached between western
railroads and their employees in the
train service, through the mediation
Of Commissioners Knapp and Neill
has been signed, and the committee

continuous session here for three
months, left for their homes. The

general belief that the firemen will be
granted the same concessions as the
conductors and trainmen.

feet dating from April 1 follows:
The pay Of conductors in the pas
senger service to be increased SIC
per month; that of baggagemen $3.50
and that of flagmen and brakemer
$3.50 per month. as applied to the
schedules in effect November 1, 1906
The railroads are not to make any
reductions in crews or increase in
mileage for the purpose of offsettine
the increased wages given the passen
ger trainmen.
Overtime in the passenger service IL
to be allowed on the basis of 10 miles
per hour, to be computed for each parl
Of the run separately. Time is to be
gin at the scheduled time of leaving.
Roads on basis of more than IL
hours per day for a helper or con
struction train service are to make nc
increase in the rates paid for such
service.
The increases granted in the aggre
gate are to apply also to rates Of spec
iai services specified in the individual
schedule.
Upon roads having a better basis
for days work, or for payment Of
oy ertime or other allowances in all
branches Of train service, the accep
lance of this agreement is not to act
as reduction.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen was also granted by the rail
roads an increase Of 10 per cent.
