HOW THEY SLIPPED IN.

Although only sixty per cent of the
vote of the state was cast in the June
primary it is sufficient to show that
the state is overwhelmingly progress
sive on the whole and an analysis of
the vote demonstrates that in the rail
road centers which have been counted
as stalwart strongholds the progress
sives are getting into the majority
class.
The heaviest vote was on the United
States Senatorship, the head of the
ticket, which came up to about sixty
five per cent of the entire vote of the
state. The vote on Congressman was
much lighter and for some Of the minor
officials probably less than fifty per
cent Of full vote was cast.
For United States senator Coe I.
Crawford received a decisive majority
over his reactionary competitor and
in comparison with the rest of the
ticket he loomed thousands of votes
over the reactionary candidates for
Congress and all others.
The heavy vote for Crawford is a
handsome testimonial to his popularity
and a signal demonstration that the
rank and file of the voters of the state
are awake to the progressive princi-
pies that have grown to life under his
able and faithful leadership.
The mechanical arrangement of the
official primary ballot was peculiar and
caused a confusing anomaly favoring
Burke and Martin the reactionary can
didateS for congress and enabling them
to slip into their nominations. The ar
rangements of the ballot was in the
hands of the county auditors of the
state. All stalwart county auditors
put the names of the stalwart candi-
dates first on the ballots of their coun-
ties while the progressive auditors put
the names in alphabetical order regard
less of whether they were progressives
or stalwarts. Burke and Martin got
onto the head of the congressional tic
ket in counties that had stalwart audi
tors and in counties that had progress
sive auditors the congressional candi-
dates were put on the ticket like this:
Burke, Glass, Hall, Martin.
The mechanical arrangements of the
ballots thus happened to favor the
stalwart congressional candidates the
issue Of the campaign not being as
clearly defined regarding them in the
mind of the average voter, and so the
the nominations. Mr.. Burke got few
more votes than Mr.. Martin did and
is in position to say, Il am popular, my
name begins with B.'-Pierre Dako-
tan.

A NOTABLE VICTORY.

Attorney Aubrey Lawrence of this
city has just won a notable victory
in the supreme court Of the state
in the famous Woonsocket license
case. In the spring election Woon-
socket voted in favor of license by
vote of 137 to 1856, but the total num-
Der OF votes cast ior the general tic
ket was 275. The city council can.
vassed the vote and declared that
license carried but the Anti-saloon
league took the matter up, claiming
that 137 votes did not constitute q
majority of the total vote There has
been two or three similar cases in
the state and the the Anti-saloon lea
que had lost out in every one, the
attorneys in the case not being able
to get the matter before the court.
The WOonsocket case was finally given
in charge of Mr. Lawrence, who i'm
mediately applied TO the supreme court
under writ of certiorari, the appli-
cation being in the name of the at
torney general Of the state Mr.. Clark.
who, however. had no further part in
tha action. Er. Lawrence prosecuted
the case against three of the best
attorneys in the state, and won out in
a highly creditable manner. The sup
RENE court decided upon the following
two points: First, that the supreme
court had a right to review declar-
ations of results by canvassing boards;
second that it requires a majority of
all votes cast at that election to
carry proposition and not majority
of votes cast on that question. -
The matter had been before the court
but had been thrown out upon techni-
calities. and until Mr.. Lawrence Sc
cured his writ of certiorari, claiming
the question to be of general interest
to all patts OF the state and therefore
under the jurisdiction of the supreme
court, it was not admit ted Red
field, Plankinton and one or two
other towns in the state have
cases identical with the Woon-
socket case and under this decision
they will go dry" this year

In Alabama the other day
a negro was lynched for com
hitting a criminal assault on
a white girl. In his pocket
was found a bottle of ''nigger
gin" bearing a suggestive la
bel. The negro who assaulted
little Margaret Lear, at
Shreveport two years ago had
a bottle of "niggger gin" bear
ing a label with unprintable
suggestions on it. The manu-
facturers and sellers of this
stuff are accessories before the
fact in the majority of rape
cases committed by negroes
on whites. Crowley Signal.
A watchful eye should be
kept that no such suggestive
labels be allowed in saloons

himself a special committee to
look after this evil, which
Golfers proves by statistics is
more fruitful than any other
cause of the unspeakable race

Many methods for prevent
ing this damage have been
suggested, but probably the
most successful is preserva-
ton with creosote. A line of
creosoted poles, opposite the
the one near Covington, was
examined, and not a single
hole was found. When it is
considered that creosote will
not only prevent the damage

but also protect the pole iEde-1
