ILLINOIS PRIMARY
Law IS INVALID
Third Statute on Same Subject
TO Be Knocked Out.

Springfield, H., June 1.-THE state
supreme court has declared uncon.
stotional the state primary election
law. This Ii the third state primary
law knocked out by the supreme
court. In the workings OF the latest
law objection was made to the cum.
brous machinery occasioned and to
the restrictions against voters eligi-
bility to participate Criticism was
also directed against the powers
granted to political party committees.
There is strong feeling in Illinois
In favor of direct primary act and
those who are close to Governor De
neen believe that he will call a spe-
cial session of the legislature tc
frame such statute The law just
nullified was objected to by the in
dependent voters of the state because
under 1t IL they desired to vote at a
primary they were obliged to declare
fealty to one of the political parties
II was also demonstrated that voters
of one political party could take part
in the selection OF the candidates oil
an opposite party. Through this ac
tion of the supreme court indictments
against politicians in Chicago for al
legged fraud in the primaries last Au
gust will probably fail

Paper Are the Headlights Of Pro.
lection and Brands Them Humbugs

Washington, June 18.--After dis.
posing Of a number of disputed para.
graphs In the tariff bill the senate
began the consideration of the print
paper and wood pulp provisions.
which have been the bone of conten.
ton and of no little anxiety ON the
part of senators.
The subject was introduced byNSen-
ator Aldrich. who, as chairman of the
finance committee. proposed an
amendment increasing the duty on
print paper from one. tenth to two.
tenths of cent per pound, which, he
said, equalled 81 ton. The Dingley
law placed the duty ut So a ton and
the house reduced it to 81 a ton.
Senator Brown of Nebraska imme.
diately took the floor to speak on the
subject.
Offering ans amendment to place
print paper on the free list Mr.. Brown
declared that the paper industry did
not need the protection of a duty
"At the risk of creating panic" he
said he would read from President
Roosevelt's message to congress In
response to which the house had un.
dertaken to investigate the wood pulp
and paper business. He then proceed.
ed to read from the message and In
doing so received careful attention.
TiIiman Says Few Words.
"These very papers that are asking
for free paper" said Mr.. Tillman "are
the very headlights of protection and
they deny me the opportunity to buy
this coat, or these Shoes" illustrating
by pointing to the articles of his at
tire, yet they want free paper"
Looking about the senate with a
deep scowl Mr.. Tlllman brought his
foot down on the velvet carpet with
resounding effect as he added: "They
are humbugs." Then he took his
seat.
Discussing the question OF wages
Senators Frye, Gallinger and Hale in
sisted that wages were lower in Can
ada than in the United States, while
Mr.. Brown put forth the report of the
Mann committee and the statement OF
the American consul at Quebec to
show that rates of wages we're higher
In Canada He asked Mr. Hale If the
results OF ten months investigation
by the house committee were less
reliable than ten weeks considera.
tion by the finance committee of the
senate.
Mr.. Hale said the facts brought out
by the finance committee we're inn.
measurably more accurate.
Mr.. Brown replied that he never
knew of any men he thought more OF
individually and less of collectively
than the members of the finance com.
mittee. He did not accept their con.
clusions as body on the cost OF
paper production.
