VIOLATED NEW
PRIMARY LAW
BIG BUNCH OF CANDIDATES IN
SEATTLE DISQUALIFIED BY
PAYING FOR POLITICAL AD-
VERTISEMENT.

SEATTLE, Jan. -Four of the
announced candidates for mayor
atty nominations and Is of the re-
publican candidates for councilman
lie nominations have disqualified
themselves for the Offices to which
they aspire by paying or agreeing
to pay to have advertisements of
their candidacy publish in a local
political weekly publication.
The primary law is very plain
and positive in it's terms disquali-
flying candidates who pay out
money for advertising in news
papers. One section of the law pro
vides that candidates shall expend
no money for any purposes whatso-
ever except for personal expenses,
which personal expenses are enum-
Grated in detail. Another section
of the law provides especially
against the expenditure of money
for advertising, and declares that
such expenditure of any sum of
money shall disqualify the candi-
date.
The candidates who have thus
disqualified themselves are w. P.
Trimble, Charles H. Burnett and
John E. HUMPHREYS, candidates for
the republican nomination for may
or; J. B. Metcalfe, candidate for
the democratic nomination for
mayor; and the following republi-
can councilmanic candidates: F.
M. Jeffrey, w. H. Murphy, Abra'
ham Kistler, w. H. Vincent, Fred
erick Sawyer, ]. E. Crichton, R. T,
Reynolds, z. B. Rawson, B. w. Muir
ray, Louis Gilbert, Chris R. Frasch,
Harry F. Jackson, T. P. Fay, Geo
F. Bancroft and Arnold Zbinden.

dence town. He wanted to do
something for the place of his birth,
and to beautify the place seemed
most appropriate.
But he did not want to create this
model town in place where intern
perance reigned. So when he made
his proposition to Mayor Ernest l..
Fillius. and later to the council, he
inserted several prOvisos.
The first was that no liquor
should be sold. He didn't seem
to mind beer, providing it was con-
fined to a certain district, which he
should have absolute control OF.
But lawyers said this was impos-
sible, so Ellsworth suggested that
/ the village be dry.
In return for temperance, ELS
worth pledged himself to provide
, the village with an electric light
plant, waterworks and a sewage
system, all to cost $250,000, without
penny of expense to the property
owners. He also promised other i'm
provement, notably the rehabilita'
ton of the old Western Reserve
university buildings, fallen into de-
cay since the college moved to
Cleveland, and the reestablishment
of an institution of learning.
In the agreement ii is Specified
that the telephone, telegraph and
street railway companies must con
form to Certain restrictions. AS

COUNC|LMEN
CORPORATION COUNSEL FINDS
FLAW THAT TIES COUNCILS
HANDS IN MATTER OF RE-
DISTRICTING THE CITY.

The city council has the right to
redictrict the city and increase the
number of wards, but has not the
right to nominate the new coun-
cilmen necessary, according to Cor
poration Counsel Hamblen's opin-
ion, which was filed yesterday with
Councilman Brown, chairman of
the redistricting committee. The
opinion brushes the hopes of demo-
in the present council, hoped to ap-
point at least three new council
men, which would give them an
even break on the new organiZa-
ton.
Mr.. Hamblen stated THAI in the
original charter Is councilmen were
provided for, but subsequently this
provision was amended and the
number of councilmen reduced to
10. The amendment, although Civ
ing authority to a council to redis-
trict the city, did not grant the
power to name new councilmen
as the original charter did. AS the
amendment abolishes the original
section, the amendment must be
followed out and therefore the
present council has not the power
to name the six additional councils
men which were proposed.
Mayor Moore this morning stated
that the opinion settles the matter
and that no other councilmen will
be added to the present list until
next election.

SEATTLE Street CAR
FORCES REDUCED

SEATTLE, Jan. ECONOMY in
operating expenses, entailing a con-
siderable curtailment of street car
service, is being practiced by the
Seattle Electric Co. under the direc-
ton of Assistant Manager Potter,
recently arrived from Boston.
Curtailment of the car service,
especially in the outlying districts
of the city, is the plan now being
carried out to reduce expenses.
People in these sections of the
city must patronnize the street cars
whether they run once every 10
minutes or once every hour.
The plan which is being put into
operation will put A cars out of
commission. The retirement of the
cars means the dropping of some
$50 employees from the payroll.

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
HUDSON, O., Jan. This New
Years, just to be original, an
American town has taken the
pledge.
Yes, Hudson has sworn off-no
more booze. No more nights out
with Budger Pittsburg or Lusher
N'York, or any of the other boys.
And you'd swear off, too, II you
were in Hudson's place; that is, II
a nice coal mine owner with mil
lions and millions of golden
simeleons should come along and
offer you $250000 to cut out red
liquor.
The nice coal man who is going
10 come down SO handsomely for
Hudson is ]. w. Ellsworth. He
was born and grew to manhood in
Hudson. He left here when % and
moved to Chicago; then he went to
Pittsburg. where his success was
phenomenal He founded Ellsworth,
Pa. coal mining village, which
he sold not long ago and practically
retired from active business.
Ellsworth's home Is In New York.
He IL now In Europe. A few years
ago he came to Hudson and pur-
chased the home of his boyhood,
which he remodeled, transforming
II into handsome modern resi-
dence and. some say. taking all
the romance out OF 1t.
Then he conceived the idea that
Hudson should be model resi-,

railroads must be kept off the main
streets.
Well, Mayor Fillius and the coun-
cilmen were tickled nearly into
Mysteries. So they passed an ordi-
nance to submit the wet or dry
, question to the citizens. There were
three saloons in town, and the
liquor dealers put up hard fight,
but the election, just held, voted
the town dry by to l.
And SO, Hudson having signed the
pledge, Mr.. Ellsworths money will
| begin to flow in, and early next
spring the improvements will be
started with a rush.

chief weighmaster. You are getting
conscientious, careful inspection and
weighing of grain at Superior. The
interests of the shipper are carefully
considered and you are asked to give
Wisconsin inspection Il trial. Some
reforms have already been put into
effect which means a saving to the
grain shippers of North Dakota, and
you can rely upon a ''square deal" in
the handling of your grain here.
Superior needs good commission
houses now to handle grain here.
These are already being formed and it
is hoped that North Dakota will fur
nish some Of these comm issiOn firms.
The Superior Board of Trade has been
thoroughly re-organized and will be
glad to correspond with parties desir-
ing to locate at Superior in the grain
business.
Arrangements have been made for
special bins with some of the elevators
here and grain can be stored here and
sold direct to eastern millers. 1t is
hoped that the Independent Shippers
association of North Dakota will
establish and thoroughly equip a

One of the things recommended by
the committee in this report was that
assistance be given in the effort to
re-establish inspection under Wiscon-
sin rules at Superior, and in this way
help to give the grain raisers Of North
Dakota competitive inspection and 1t
competitive grain market at Superior.
After IL long, drawn-Out legal contest
this competitive inspection under
Wisconsin rules was on January lst
