Candidate Charges That Rivals Elk
pended Over the Limit.
Carl e. Taylor Of Aitkin, who re-
csived $40 votes In the recent race for
nSptpation for congressman from the
nighth district, asked the attorney
general to take action to prevent the
nanses Of Clarence B. Miller and J.
Adam Bede from appearing on the
ballot at the general election. ME-.
Taylor alleges that both Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Bede, who received Ii, 900 and
10000 votes, respectively, far exceed
ed the statutory limit of expenditure
in their preliminary campaign. AS
Taylor received the third highest num-
Der of votes action as requested would
give Taylor the nomination.
Mr.. Taylor claims that the law pre-
scribing the amount that candidate
may spend makes the limit $3.50 IN the
race for the congressional nomination.
Mr.. Taylor says that it cost hing just
$3.50 for all expenses, but that Miller
spent $4,000 and possibly $4,000, and
Bede spent sums exceeding $500"
The attorney general refused to
taketany action, claiming that in his
opinion the law cited does not apply
to primary: elections, and he consid-
cred that no authority exists to at
tempt to deprive either Miller or Bede
Of place on the general ballot.

Statute Affected Wisconsin Railroad
sssste Operators.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 29.-The SUI
pre1ne court has declared as unconsti-
tutional the wisconsin eight-hour rail-
road telegraphers' law, which was en-
acted at the 1907 session of the legis-
lat@re The law is declared unconsti-
tuticnal on the theory that it is in
conflict with the provisions of the fed
eral Constitution, which clothes con-
gress With the power to regulate inter-
state commerce. and, further, on the
theor. hat congress, having already
provided a law fixing the hours of
railvs telegraphers from nine to
thirteen hours, it was not within the
poweF OF the state to enact a law
which would in effect change the hours
of labor
In effect the decision is one of the
most farreaching Of the court, as it
practically prohibits the state from
anacting laws relating to the hours of
labor on interstate railroads as long
as there is federal statute in force.
