and never stop until l get him. The
only question is how long will Cans

clares his condition is as good as it

COURTHOUSE CROWD
HAS APPARENTLY WON
Count Shows That All Their Voting
Strength Was on Hand.

Gray is next with 412, w. M. New.
man 321, G.. M. Gould 308, D. b.
Smith 2S9, E. L. Kimball 278 and
William L. Hall 200.
Cal Atkinson's lead for county
clerk may be overtaken later BY
J. Oscar Peterson, who is fighting
hard. Atkinson's count showed 767
votes, Peterson $50, J. F. Brill S51,
E. E. Burton 34s and O. H. Lee 336.
F. P. Greene was the only one
with a cinch, having no opposition
for the auditors office.
Mac Pugh, another of the court
house ring, waged a successful
fight against Jim Hone, the w. w.
P. candidate, according to all indi-
cations. He received 931 out of
the 32 precincts in to 633 for Hone
and lat for Dooley. ]. e. Clark,
w. H. Butler and c. r. Shenk did
little better than make showing.
OF the superior court judges,
Huneke, KEENAN,, Sullivan are
surely named. J. d. Hinkle made
surprising showing from the fact
that he was least of all heard OF
during the campaign. He apparent
ly made little effort and the large
vote for him is a substantial COM
plement. Huneke is leading with
1865 votes, KEENAN, Sal, Sullivan
836, Hinkle 79S. Craven 645 and
Belt els. The race for the fourth
Judge is close between Hinkle and
Craven and both claim that when
| the total is counted he will lead
comfortably.

EDWARD THE FIRST ENGLISH
KING IN 800 YEARS TO RE-
CEIVE IN STATE A REPRE-
SENTATIVE OF THE POPE.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-For the first
time in 800 years a papal legatee
received an English monarch today
when Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli,
cardinal bishop from the papal
curia at Rome, and titular bishop
of Palestrina, was received by
King Edward in the historic West
minister cathedral at the opening
of the nineteenth annual eucharis
congress.
Vannutelli was arrayed in robes
of state and made an imposing fig
ure. The immense hall was crowd
ed to suffocation with distinguish.
ed assembly.
Because of fear of an anti.
Catholic agitation that might re-
suit in street riots, the great pro-
cession planned as the biggest cler-
zeal demonstration of modern
times was abandoned. Sixty thous-
and persons thronged the streets
about the entrance and all thor
oughfares leading to the cathedral
were choked with humanity.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Sept. 9.--It is esti-
mated that 10000 people are hear
to attend the democratic state con-
vention and hear addresses of Bry-
an, Johnson and others. When the
convention was called to order
Adlai Stevenson was introduced
and delivered an address on the
issues Of the campaign. Early
routine business was transacted
and then Bryan was introduced.
After adjournment Bryan talked
in the courthouse square. Tonight
Governor Johnson is the main
speaker. In discussing "The State
and the Nation" Bryan said:
1.-The success of our system Of
government rests upon the careful
observance of the constitutional
division of power between the
state and the nation. A number
of expressions have been coined
to describe the relations existing
between the federal government
and the several subdivisions, but
no one has been more felicitous in
definitions than Jefferson or more
accurate in drawing lines of de-
narration. He presented the his
toric position of the democratic
party when he declared himself in
favor of the support of the state
governments in all their right, as
the most competent administra-
lions for our domestic concerns
and the surest bulwarks against
anti-republican tendencies, and
the preservation of the general
government in it's whole constitu-
tional vigor, as the sheet anchor
of our safety at home and peace
abroad The democratic plat
form, adopted at Denver, quotes

SAYS ELECTION
IS ILLEGAL

That the entire Spokane county
election of yesterday is Illegal be-
cause of failure to comply with the
statute governing elections and
the duty of election officials, Is the
statement made by one of the can
didates for the nomination of prose-
cutting attorney. o. B. Settlers is
responsible for the assertion. Mr..
Settlers feels that he has been
dealt squarely with in the race for
office and stated it was not his in
tention to contest the election.
No literature or cards Of a po-
litical nature are allowed to be
distributed within so feet of any
polling place and it is the duty of
the officers of election to see to
the enforcement of this law.
Mr.. Settlers states that not in a
single precinct of the city was the
statute complied with.

clares that it expresses the party's
position at this time.
1T would be almost as difficult
to maintain a free, self governing
republic over a large area and
with large population without
state governments as it would be
to maintain such a republic with
out a general government. The in
terests of the different parts of
the country are so varied, and the
matters requiring legislative at
tention so numerous, that it would
be impossible to have all of the
work done at the national capitol.
One has only to examine the bills
introduced in each congress, and
then add to the number the bills
introduced at the legislative ses-
sions of each of the 46 states, to
realize that it would be beyond
the power of any body of men to
legislate intelligently on the null
titude of questions that require
consideration.
mot only would national legis-
lators lack the time necessary for
investigation, and therefore lack
the information necessary to wise
decision, but the Indifference of
Representative in one part of the
country to local matters In other
parts of the country would invite
the abuse of power. Then, too, the
seat of government would be so
far from the great majority of the
voters as to prevent that scrutiny
of public conduct which is essen
tial to clean and honest govern
ment. The union of the separate
states under a federal government
offers the only plan that can adapt
itself to indefinite extension.
