TWO IMPORTANT RULINGS
Rendered In Regard to Primary Elec-
tions Under the New Law.

Columbus, ON passing upon ques-
tions raised concerning the coming
primary elections under the new raw
enacted by the general assembly, sec
retary OF State Thompson laid down
two important rulings. The first was
whether petitions could be made out
for a whole ticket as well as for an
individual candidate for nomination.
The contrary view is taken by Secre.
tary Thompson. who says the law is
clear upon this point. The utmost lib
erality is extended TO petitioners and
TO prospective candidates In this mat.
ter and either individuals or groups
may be placed upon the nomination
papers. II is the lookout Of the voter
81 ne signs for more than one man
when he afliXes his signature to pa
Ter. The other question came from a
number of counties from the represen-
tatiyes Of the minority parties. Fear
ing that because Of their sparse num-
bers and the lack Of sacrificing patri-
Otism that they would not he able to
secure a full ticket at the official pri-
maries. they asked the question wheth.
er after the election, the party COM
mittee could not ill in the blanks by
appointment. While this seems plaUs.
iDle, Secretary Thompson holds that
the law does not permit II.

because such men as you dominate 1t

coarse, offensive personality, and a
part of the community has come to

WHITE MAN SHOOTS NEGRO
OVER A WHITE WOMAN
Charles Miller, In Edith Hunters
Room, Sends Bullet Into
Jim TOwIes.

Charles Miller, a junk dealer, formerIy re-
siding at sixteenth and Cass streets. shot
Jim Towles, cOlored, in the back of the head
with a SS-caliber revolver as the result of
a rivalry for the love Of a woman Of white
skin, Edith Hunter. Towles is not fatally
wounded. Miller is still at large and has
a dent in his head made by a blow from a
club in the hands of Towles' son. who
rushed to his fathers rescue.
The brawl occurred at 7:15 Tuesday morn
ing, in the room Of the woman at 1924 lizard
street, which also happens to he the dwell
ing place of the negro.
The woman and Towles assert that Miller
had been forcing his attentions upon the
woman against her protestations and had
visited the house, though she had warned
him not to. When he reached there this
time he found Edith Hunter sitting at the
head OF her couch and Towles at the foot
Some words ensued, and Miller, so Towles
and the woman say whipped out his pistol
and shot Towles in the back Of the head.
Towles' young son was aroused by the
shot and rushed into the room swinging
a big club and planting one blow WITH
much emphasis upon the Uranium Of Miller

good, and that he is utterly unamenable to
the changes of opinion superinduced by the
progress Of the nation.
Then there is a personal aspect Of the
fight. There is the Uncle Joe" Cannon
of the common people" he of the home
spun suit and the rakish cigar, he who
adorns the good story and decorates the
picture of the homely virtues of the ideal
of Uncle Sam. There is also Tory Joe
Cannon, opposed to every progressive SEN
timent, the enemy Of all that is beautiful.
the foe of all that is good, the fountain of
unpleasant and impolite conversation and
the bogie-man Of the '~fair-haired boys''
lately grouped about the foot of the throne
of Theodore Roosevelt. Somewhere be-
tween these two is Joseph G. Cannon, a
representative from the state Of Illinois,
who is now serving his fourth term as
speaker OF the house OF representative.
But Mr.. Cannon entered upon the duties
of his fourth term under very different
conditions than had prevailed at the begin
ming of preceding congresses. A number
of representatives of his own political
faith supported the majority of the demo-
cratic members in an effort to change the
rules to strip the speaker of his right to
appoint the committees. Such a change
would have meant the downfall of the
power Of the speakership. Every effort to
invoke the s~anctity of party discipline
failed, and appeal was made to the demo-
Gratis. Twenty-three Of the 172 democrats
seeded from their party and set up an
other set of rules, slightly changing the
existing order, but leaving the power over
committees In the hands of the speaker.
The majority organization was forced to
accept this compromise, and Speaker Can
non retained his power by a narrow margin
OF five votes. Thus while he was elected
speaker by a majority composed Of his own
party, he holds his power as speaker by
commission from a majority made up Of
many republicans and a few democrats.

Tess. Men holding this view declare that
It is better to permit a speaker chosen
by a majority to dictate what legislation
shall pass, than to give a minority the
power to prevent the passage Of any or
all measures. Expert students of parlia-
mentary law demur to this opinion, and
point out the fact that the House of Com
mons in England, a much larger body than
the house of representatives, manages to
legislate under ordinary procedure, while
the United States senate celebrates upon
all measures before it without restriction
or limit.
The insurgent element in the senate is
opposed to some Of the polIces OF the
majority of the repubfftaffs parry In n

by the whole county with interest, but
1t Is not without the realm Of possibility
for them to come into control Of the senate.

it is possible for a coalition Of democrats
and insurgents to overthrow the ruling
powers. If it shall be done 1t will estab-
lish a new precedent in American leglsla-
tive history and WIN crystalline a new

counted as insurgent, has charged that
the necessary democratic support was OBJ
tanned by a corrupt bargain made between
Speaker cannon and Tammany hall. one
Of the first fights in the coming session Of
congress will be waged to obtain a con-
gressional investigation of this charge by
a committee to be named by the house on
ballot, and not by the speaker. Mr.. Can
non SCOTS at this charge.
Mr.. Cannon says that a majority of the
house at any time may remove him from
the chair. This is true in theory, but in
fact the speaker could defend his position
against any majority that did not reach
two-thirds Of the whole house. The speaker
now possesses the absolute right TO de-
termine whom he shall recognize. Every
member seeking recognition must make
arrangements beforehand with the speaker.
II is hardly probable that he would will
ingly accord recognition to any member
for the purpose Of moving to declare the
speakership vacant.
The engine by which the speaker gov
erns the house is the committee on rules.
Sometimes the house is permitted to con-
slider and discuss unimportant bills In
regular parliamentary elaboration. But
this privilege is never accorded when an
important measure is put upon its passage,
The committee on rules brings In a special
rule, reporting the bill and providing for
it's consideration. The rule stipulates the
exact time Of debate; expressly provided
what amendments shall be permitted, if
any; and leaves the house no opportunity
to do anything but accept or reject the bill
in the form deemed proper by the com
mittee.
The insurgents will attempt to overthrow
the power of the speaker by attacking this
committee on rules. When the committee
brings in a special rule, Mr.. Dalzell, it's
spokesman, viii present the report and
move the previous question, II the prev
ious question is voted, debate is cut off
and the report is not subject to amed-
ment. If at any time the democrats and
insurgents can muster a majority to vote
down the previous question, then the rule
reported will be subject to amendment.
. Opposed to all efforts to amend the rules
and deprive the speaker OF his power is
that section in the house which believes
the present system to be absolutely neces-
sary to accomplish legislation. 1t is argued
that the surrender Of the power OF the
