NO DECISION MADE BY JUDGE
PRITCHAKD.
RUnors OF Decision Against State of
South Carolina Seem to Have Been
UnfOunded.

Columbia, Feb. 8.-Prcceding the
discharge Of heavy artillery in the
senate yesterday came the rumoi that
Judge Pritchard had decided against
the State Of South Carolina. The ru-
mors were persistent. Gov Ansel, Mr..
Lyon or no other representative Of
the State government had been in
formed by Judge Pritchard, and the
rumors all came from the friends of
the opposition to Mr.. Lyons fight.
1t was run,ored that Judge Pritch-
ard had already called certain law
yers to Richmond to advise him upon
some points In writing his decree, as
Is done very frequently by judges in
order to get decrees filed with the
minimum loss Of time.
Another rumor had it that Judge
Pritchard would designate a lawyer
named Best to be special master. Best
was Judge Pritchard's stenographer.
but has an office in Columbia now.
The State made inquiry in Ashe-
Vile. Charleston and Richmond, and
at late hour received the following
from the Times-Dispatch at Rich
mcnd:
Richmond, Va, Feb. 7.-There
was no proceeding affecting the South
Carolina dispensary case before Judg.
Pritchard today. T. Moultrie Nor
decai of Charleston had few mo-
ments' talk with Judge Pritchard, al
though it is said that 1t did not relate
to any contemplated action in the
Fleischmann matter. Judge Pritch-
ard said tonight that he had rot made
up his mind as to whether or not he
would assume jurisdiction and appoint
o master. Mr.. .Mordecai left fer the
South tonight"
Judge Pritcharis delay seems to
be more encouraging to those who
wish to have the State courts go
ahead with prosecution, for it is ar
gued II he were inclined to assume
Jurisdiction, he would have done so
early In the week.
Mr. Lyon did not seem at all de-
pressed by the rumors as to Judge
Pritchard. "You will never see me
lose heart until the supreme court OF
the United States decides against u.s."
he said, "and Of that have no fear.
While the delay is vexatious in some
ways, In others 1t Is helpful. We are
getting help daily, and am more
hopeful and more confident now than
I have ever been"

THAw is 10 STAY IN ASYLUM.


wan for the Present ut Least,
Gatteawan, N. Y, Feb. e.-Dr.
Lamb. superintendent OF the State
Hospital for the Criminal Insane. said
today that II after 80 days or SD IL is
his belief that Harry Thaw Is not in :.
sane 1t will be within the province of
the hospital authe rites to 50 certify
on the court and recommend his
release. A commission in lunacy or
other proceedings would not be nee.
essary. he declared.
The physicians at the institution
are not making observations of Thaw
as yet. as they felt that he has not re-
covered from the excitement caused
by his recent trial for the murder
OF Stanford White. He Is considered
model prisoner by the physicians
and on account Of his good behavior
has been allowed certain privileges.
DR.. Britton D. Evans, the alienist
and A. Russell Peabody, OF counsel
for Thaw, today visited the patient
Before seeing Thaw the visitors had
G half hours conference with DR.
Lamb. DR.. Evans said he did not
come to Matteawan to make an exam
ination Of Thaw, but merely be cause
the patient appeared to be chcered
by his visits.
That there is friction among Thaw's
counsel over the question whether ar
attempt to have him released from
the asylum shall or shall not be
made is denied. and it IS stated that
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has become re-
conciled to Thaw remaining in the
hospital for the present. 1t is said
also that 1t Is unlikely that the mein-
bers Of Thaw's family will visit him
frequently at Matteawan.

POLITICAL NOTES
Gompers to Aid Bryan Taft Hits Fed
erai Lisenee- Bryan Asks Aid.

GoMFERS TO AID BRYAN: -
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation OF Labor, and
John W Kern vice-pe sidential nom
inoe, visited W. J. Bryan at his home
at Fairyiew last Monday They went
out on the same car together
and were met at the porch OF the
Bryan mansion by the master after
the usual greeting and exchange Of
pleasan;ries. Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Gompers retired to have a confident
Isl. interview. The sum Of the talk
was that Gompers would work per-
scnally and use his influence with
the three million men of whom he
is leader. He said that the Demo-
cratic Platform expresses the prin-
c.ples fer which the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and its officers
have worked. II was decided On
this trip that Mr.. Kern would take
the stump fog the ticket also.

PUBLICITY
Corruption IN Politics Demands Pub
lioitY-A Large Sum is Necessary
to Carry On a Campaign.

A big fuss Is going TO be made this
year Ia the national campaign over
the question OF publishing list OF all
who contribute to the campaign funds
az either party, and OF the purpose
for which the money is spent The
Democrats are claiming that the Re-
publicans have not been so good on
this matter as they have. and some
Of them declare that the Republicans
have bought the last three elections
and cxIect to buy this one. At the
risk Of giving @ good deal Of space
TO answering a charge which cannot
be sustained. The Citizen will try 20
make o fun statement OF the situa-
ton.
IN the first place. there can be no
1t o. the need and virtue OF the
movement in favor Of acting openly
a. the matte- OF political expendl-
lures. There has for years been a
sood deal Of corruption in politics IN
this country and millions OF dollars
have sometimes been used in nation
al campaignl II Is likely that the
presidency has sometimes been really
sold away from the people, but there
is no proof o! this. as the corruption
has been equal on both sides. But
the dehsuchinr OF voters, and the cor
rupting OF the elections in this
country has been one of the worst
evils OF the times. and did. and
TO some extent stin does, threaten
the safety o. our country. SO any
movement which will help prevent
this should he supported by all good
citizens.
There IS. on the other hard. 10
doubt that immense sums can be
rightfuliy ami properly spent in cleo
tious. without any suspicion OF cor
rlptlon. Il is necessary to send MILL
icrs % pamphlets. campaign hand
hooks and other kinds Of literature
t. the voters and party leaders go
that they will thoroly understand the
issues OF the campaign and be able 10
vote intelligently. Also. It is very
proper to serd out political speakers,
ard they must be paid for their time.
willie their expenses aro large Watch
ers at the rolling places must be em-
plcyed. and in many other ways
money must be spent II the people are
TO have fair chance In judge OF the
merits Of the contest. This is not
corruption, tho the amounts spent
H. this way are often very large.
Recognizing these two things, there
has come a strong movement in fav-
or OF making the treasurers OF both
parties publish in full the names OF
contributors % the fund, and the ac-
counts showing for what the money
was spent. This will show both
whether any rich men or corporations
have inside large gifts in the hope
Of getting the men who are elected
I 10 grant them favors which they 90
not deserve. and also whether any
money is being spent In a way that
Is intended 70 buy rather than
convince voters There are some OBJ
i,ctlona to the plan but probably none
that are Of enough importance TO
Justify the refusal 10 do this. The
custom OF doing it will almost GER
tainly become universal as soon as
the voters learn the advantages Of
the plan. and IL will go a long way
toward giving US better government
and driving out Of office the corrupt
politicians wht are so great curse
to the country
