how much President Taft thought oi

rotary OF wars support OF the brii-
liant young writer for the appoint
ment to the Mexican ministerial post
when the American minister was XIII.

Mexico few years ago. Secretary
Taft thought Leroy. then trying 70

LeRoy's belief In Taft stopped short
only OF the fatter's strong attachment
for Roosevelt. This the consul never
shared. He never gave Roosevelt
credit for sincerity after all interview
he had with him in Washington on
the educational problem In the Philip
pines. Taft thought II would be
good thing for the president TO get
some straight information on the sub
ject from one who knew and he ar
ranged the interview. LeRoy's COLI
fidential report OF that hours confer

to the effect that he had the honor to
report his arrival direct from Manila

strenuous president pace the floor and
consume something like SO minutes
of the session In telling what he
thought about the Aachers in the
Philippines while the secretary or the
Philippine commission humbly ven
tured a few feeble observations In the
remaining Ave minutes.
II was quite like Leroy to say that
Roosevelt was demagogic, IL he felt

been awaiting him.

Popular opinion may be hopelessly
a ~ over the. question OF the prob
hbIe outcome OF The Detroit Times
Great Prize Voting Contest but IL Is
IuiIy united on at least one point. and
that IS that the winners or the prizes
vii be magnifcently repaid for their
EFFORTS IN the competition. All agree
tnat the prizes are more than worthy
OF the EFFORTS they inspire in the coa-
testantS VINO are campaigning SO en-
them.
The attitude OF the public In regard
10 tue oner is well reflected In the
comment made several days ago by one
OF the most prominent men OF affairs
In the city. This man said. It's GER
lslhly a mighty nne opportunity for
woman 10 get couple OF exceedingly
valuable prizes with very little effort
on her part i know OF no other way
In which prizes OF SO high value
could be secured SO easily. There Is
no question about Ii being the most
liberal oner OF its sort ever presented
In Detroit" This and similar COM
ments may be heard on all sides where
the contest Is topic OF conversation.
one pleasing feature of the contest
is that the distribution OF prizes has
been SO arranged that contestants who
win the grand prizes-the touring au-
tomobile and the two pianos--will also
win district first prizes--the splendid
European tours. Were nothing more
than the European tours offered the
contestants these would be deemed
ample and sufficient but since even
greater rewards are offered the con-
testants are determined 10 secure
them. The contestants possess the
progressive spirit which Is satisfied
with nothing short OF the biggest pos
sible success.
The first OF the minor periods OF the
special vote offered closed Saturday
evening at o'clock. and a consldera bic
volume OF business was reported by the
various contestants during the time OF
the period The contestants In each
district who secured the greatest vol
ume OF business in the minor period

Pink Pasters and Ballot Distributors are
 fo Disappear.

Our voters had their last opportuni- fy to use "pink pssters" or 10 peddle ballots at the elections lastMonday. It will be regretted by the men who had been hired to this job, but nobody else will. One man at the polls will furnish every voter his ballot and envelope at every election after January ist next.
 This is one step in the right direction to simplify voting and make 1t less ex- pensive for candidates and election dis fricts.
 This was brought about by the pas sage of law at the last General As- sernbly which eliminates the use of pasters and the distribution of ballots on election day. Hereafter the ballots for aii city, town, Staie and national elections in Connecticut, with the ex- eepiion Of places where voting mahines are used, will be printed by the State.
 There will be a single ballot contain Ing the names of candidates of all par ties, and To vote for all the candidates of one party will require simply the making An \ mark in the circle above the party column. To vote "split ticket, a pencil mark will be used, the voter plaeing an X mark In front Of the name of another candidate whom he wishes to vote for.
 All this will make considerable of n change at first, and the parties may have to devote time and study how 10 instruct the voter to vote correctly, al- though an ordinary intelligent person ought to unde erstand how to use the new ballot after 1t is once explained to him.
 Under the law the Secretary of State will distribute sample ballots In each voting district so that the voters may have an opportunity Of studying out the system.
 Another feature of interest will be this: that nominations for office must be made at least three weeks before election, SO that the voters will have "A longer time in which io make up their minds AS 10 what candidates they will support.
 This last Is also an Improved feature.
 Taking 1t altogether Lhe new voting law will be simpler and Less expensive than the present method. and may yet dispense entirely with the need of vot- ing machines.
