ant and Hon. Robert Harding, of

CRUMP ACKER TO
KEEP UP FIGHT
Has New Census Bill Ready For Con-
gress-Merit System is
Also Urged.

Washington. March 10.-The pas
sage of new census bill during the
special session, to take the place of
the measure vetoed by President
Roosevelt previous to his retirement
from office. is confidently predicted by
its friends in congress. Representa-
tive Crumpacker of Indiana, chairman
OF the census committee of the last
house and author of the bill disap-
proved because it did not provide for
competitive examination for the tenn
porary census clerks, prepared the
new measure. He believes it will not
only meet with the approval of the
special session of congress, but will
receive the signature of President
Taft.
The plan for the selection of clerks
by nOn-competitiVe examinations as
provided for the vetoed bill, has been
abandoned. Judge Crumpacker has
sought to apply the merit system of
oClCOIiOlis uOQlnCu W meet fDc CAL
gencies of the census work. The new
bill provides for special test exam
nations" prescribed by the civil SER
vice commission. The selection would
differ from the ordinary selection I'M
der the civil service in that the direc-
tor of the census might, when the ex-
igencies of the service required, give
preference to eligibles Immediately
available, instead of selecting the APP
pointees according to rating, as is
otherwise provided.
The language of section z, to which
President Roosevelt. objected, has
been changed to read as follows: Sec
ton Z. That the additional clerks and
other employees provided for in sec
ton shall be subject to such spe-
cial test examination as the director
of census may prescribe, the said ex-
animation to be conducted by the
United States civil service commits
sion, the examination to be open to
all applicants without regard to po-
litical party affiliations. Copies of the
eligible registers so established that
the examination papers of all eligi-
bles shall be furnished the director of
census by the civil service commits
sioner, and selections therefrom shall
be made by the director of the census
without regard to the law of appor-
tionment in order of rating, provided,
however, that when the exigencies Of
the service require preference may be
given to eligibles who by -eason of
residence or other conditions are i'm
mediately available, and that prefer
ence may also be given to persons
having previous experience in census
work, whose efficiency records are
satisfactory to the said director, who
may in his discretion accept sucn
records in lieu of said examination"
In the vetoed bill the beginning of
this section read: THAT the addi-
tional clerks and other employees pro-
vided for in section 6 shall be sub
jected to such non-competitive exam
ination as the director of the census
may prescribe, the said examination
to be conducted by the United States
civil service commission, provided
that they be shall be selected without
regard to the law of apportionmenu,
or to the political party affiliations of
the applicants"

ternoon for the purpose of naming
the time and manner of nominating
candidates for the Circuit Judge and

posed of the chairman of the respec-
tive county committees and James
Hamilton, of Garrard county, was
unable to attend on account of be-
ing engaged in court and d. Lee
Currey, Of Mercer county, refused to
attend with Hamilton absent, so the
meeting had to be called off, as G. L.

Huguely, of this city, were not suf-
ficient to constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business.
There is no contest over the posi-
ton of Commonwealth Attorney,
Hon.. Charles A. Hardin, of Harrods-
burg, having made such an efficient
official that the people with one ac-
cord desire to retain him. There are
three candidates for Circuit Judge,
two of whom have already made their
official announcements. They are
County Judge j. S. Owslev, and M. C.
SauAey, both of Stanford. Hon. w.
&C.. Bell, the incumbent, states that he

clared in favor of a primary, but it
is not known what the other two
candidates desire.
