ment of $4,000.

way company from the district court

DUNN PARTY CAN'T HAVE
EMBLEM ON CITY BALLOT
City Solicitor ADVISES City Clerk Against Allowing Candidates
Named Nomination Papers Use Emblems.

cal minor principle or issue, or giving
temporary allegiance to candidates per-
sonally. rather than supporting them as
representatives OF definite political princi-
pies.
This view has arisen probably from the
Idea that political party was only such
one, as had cast two per centum of the
entire vote for governor the number re-
quired to entitle the party convention or
caucus to nominate candidates therein,
and to entitle such a party TO have the
names OF their candidates placed upon the
ballot upon proper certificate of the ac-
tion of the convention or caucus being
duly filed From the provision, that the
emblem or device shall be selected by the
secretary OF state. 1t has probably been
also inferred that the only party recog-
nized under the law as entitled to the
circle and emblem was a party, which
nominated state officers.
A LITTLE OBSCURE
Section IA OF the law provides in part
that every certificate of nomination and
every nomination paper shall, besides con-
tanning the names Of candidates specify
as TO each: d) The office for which he
was nominated: t2) the party or political!
principle which he represents. expressed
in not more than three words. From
these terms It might be inferred that a
certain body of voters might represent a
particular single principle, rather than
represent the variety Of principles usual
~ advocated by a party. or In other words
that TO file nomination paper IL would
not be required for the signers TO show
that they constituted a political party
or even claimed TO be such
1t seems, therefore, as IL the word
party as used In the different sections
OF the law, might not be used always in
the same definite sense. and hence the
doubt as to the constitution.
"On the other hand. certain parts of
said Section p, considered alone appar-
emily favor a construction OF the law on

has been given IL. Without going into the

UNITED STATES LANDS ~~
NEAR HAMILTON, ONT

ct. Louis. Oct 3-worj has been re-
ceived here that the balloon United states
with Maj. Henry IL. Hersey OF the United
States weather bureau as pilot, has land
ed near Hamilton. Ont.
The distance from st. Louis to Hamil-
ton Ont. on air line is approximately 62o
miles. Therefore, the United States trav-
elled about $40 miles. which is far ahead
of the record made in the European races
by Lieut.. Lahm, whose balloon won the
international cup by sailing from Paris
10 a point In England. 402 miles distant.
Maj. Hersey was accompanied by A. L.
Atherhot as aide.
They ascended in st. Louis at 4:05 Mon
day afternoon, and so were in the air 26
hours and 10 minutes.
The United States was the winner OF
the international race OF 1906. The bal
loon carried two American flags. The
United States landed about II miles south
of Hamilton at 6:l5 p. m, according to
a midnight dispatch.
There seems no doubt that the record
made I'm the race at Paris last year, 402
miles, will be exceeded by practically ev-
cry balloon.
