speaker wsdsworth to Present Objections
to Governors Primary Plan,

ALBANY. Feb. 23.-The Republican State
organizations detailed objections TO Gov.
Hughes's plan for a direct nominations
law will be made known on Friday night
by Speaker James W. Wadsworth. Jr..
Of the Assembly in an address he is TO
deliver at Lockport.
Assemblyman Beverly A. Robinson Of
New York. commenting upon the Cover
nor's plan, said to-day:
The Governors proposition narrows
down TO the su bstitution OF State COM
mittee with a membership Of thirty-sevcn
for a convention Of 900 delegations. In
other words, nineteen out of thirty-seven
committeeman will nominate the State
ton OF 1000.
III the present system ia open to crit
icism. the proposed scheme would be more
so. II the Governor Is trying to rid US
OF boss rule, cannot see why he should
advocate plan that will render the bosses
more secure
Another very important objection
to the Governors plan is that it makes
independent nominations very expen-
sive, whereas the cost OF regular nomina-
tions are borne by the party committees
An independent candidate for a State Office
will have TO spend approximately $1,000
in notary's fees That is the initial cost
TO him, his entrance fee as il were, No
such expense attaches itself tn candk-
dacy in regular nomination
Senator John Raines, the most infiuen.
tial legislative Republican leader. insists
the Governors latest plan is absolutely
unfair to the voters. Senator kaines
said:
Under our Constitution every voter is
entitled TO exercise the privileges given
him thereby. The only restrictions that
should be imposed are those provided for
by the Constitution and the laws passed
with the design Of preventing fraud and
to secure an honest expression Of the
voters will. Any provision Of 80
called law which inevitably disfranchses
in advance 20 per cent. or more OF the
voters, either at a general election or at
the primaries. unless IL is absolutely neces-
sary TO do 80 In order to prevent fraud,
should be condemned
There may be, Of course. differences
Of opinion as to what Is necessary to pre-
vent fraud and give a full and fair OK
preston OF the will of the voters, but any
scheme which unnecessarily deprives
the voter Of the power 10 express his will
Is. as have said. TO be condemned
THE so-calltd d independents do not
constitute the people. nor are they en-
titled to have the laws so framed that
they may exercise an undue proportion
OF political power The rights of a voter
on the Eost Side OF New York city or in
the most remote Of the country districts
are as sacred and should be as carefully
guarded as are those OF the gentlemen
composing the City Club OF New York,
and their power is often exercised with
at least as great a degree OF Intelligence.

SARATOGA SPRINGS DECISION.
Court OF Appeals Jpholtls Right 10 Limit
the Output OF Gas.

ALBANY, Feb. 23.-The fight OF the
Saratoga Mineral Spring owners to pre-
vent the Natural Carbonic Gas Company
from pumping gas from its wells in Sara
toga on the ground that the loss Of the
gas is destroying the springs was de-
cided in their favor to-day by the Court
Of Appeals.
The last Legislature passed law pre-
venting the gas companies from pumping
the gas, and proceeding was started TO en-
force the law by the owners OF the Hathorn
Springs. Judge Alton B. Parker appeared
before the Court Of Appeals and ed for
reversal of the lower courts, which
granted an injunction rest raining the Nat
ural Carbonic Gas Comp pany from pun D.
ing until the case was decided.
heargued hat the Hathorn ow ners W ere
simply prosecuting an action which di-
minlshed the profits Of their own business,
and the relief asked for was not based
upon the recent act of the Legislature.
The law was Unconstitutional, he said,
as it deprived the gas company of
It's property without due process Of law
He also declared that the law could not
be construed as retroactive.
To-day's decision rules against him and
In effect the opinion Of the Court holds
that the Legislature has the right to limit
the amount Of gas which may be pumped
from the springs. IL holds that the
amount OF gas which may be taken shall
be determined by the courts as a question
Of fact.
Senator Brackett Of Saratoga Springs
has bill in the Legislature. which he will
probably now push TO passage, providing
that the State shall take the property v
consisting Of the springs and surrounding
territory at Saratoga and make a State
reservation, the same as the Niagara
especial effort now that the decision
limits the spring owners in the free use
Of their property.

Court of Appeals Decides That It's Joint
Rate Order May he Reviewed.

ALBANY. Feb. 2s.-The Court Of Ap-
peals upheld to-day the action Of the
Appellate Division. First Department.
in deny ing a motion Of the New York
oity Public Sefvice Commission to quash
writs Of oertiorari obtained by the re-
ceivers Of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company to review the proceedings of
the comm ission in fl king fare Of S cents
to be divided between the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company and the Central
Park. North and East River Railroad
Company for rides over lines between
Thirty-fourth street and l16th street. The
commission had first directed the COM
panies to agree upon "A reasonable joint
fare, and upon their failure t. get together
the commission made the order for the
cent fare. which the companies seek
TO have reviewed in the Supreme Court
II had been claimed on behalf Of the Public
Service Commission that its act in fixing
a 5 cent fare was a legislative and not a
judicial act and therefore not renewable
on certorari by the courts.

In Memory of Rev. E. E. Bradley

II is with great dergec of sad
ness that we speak of the death
of Rev. T.. +. Bradley which oc-
Cured Feb. II, 1909, but it is with
a great degree of pleasure aud
satisfaction that we remember and
speak of his life and work. al
though his life was only a brief
period. He was converted i'm
early life, and united with Beaver
Dam Baptist church, Audrain
county. Not long after this he
felt that he was called into the
ministry, and he worked hard in
preparing for his noble work.
He studied in William Jewell.
West Minister, and La Grange
Colleges. II was in school first
learned Of him, learned to know
him, and learned to love him. We
roomed together; we studied to-
gether; we recitcd together.
Since school days, we have had
the privilege of working together.
He helped me in meetings: I
helped him in meetings. He
officiated at my wedding; |
officiated at his wedding. He
was two years my pastor and well
do | remember his last sermon to
us, preached from Isaiah 53:l2.
1t was truly an earnest, forceful
sermon. For the greater part,
Bro. Bradley labored in Audrain,
and adjoining counties, although
he did considerable work in other
parts of the State. When his
health began to decline, he re.
signed all his work and moved
to the southern part of the State
Here his health improved for q
while, but finally grew worse anC
he returned to his home il
Audrain county. For months an(
months he patiently suffered, un
TIL the 14th of Feb. he left hi,
tired, wasted body and went HON,
to his eternal rest. His body
rests in Beaver Dam cemetery. a
which church he was pastor for
several years, and where his mem
bership has ever been.
Bro. Bradley came in toucI
with many people during hi
preparation for, and work in, tn
ministry, and none knew him bu
to love him. What loss we al
feel, and especially those of u
who knew him best. To his owl
memory he has erected a worth,
monument. A life of tru
CHRISTIAN service.
Besides a host of friends, thre
sisters, a brother, parents, wifi
and baby mourn because he ha
gone from us. However, we d
not weep as those who have n
hope.
Safe in the arms Of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love DER shadowe
Sweetly his soul shall rest

celsior Springs preached at the
Mexico Methodist church last
Sunday morning and Sunday
night. At 2:30 in the afternoon
he addressed a mass meeting at
the Baptist church, discussing the
temperance question. He stirred
up a lively interest. He does not
believe in good men and women
being so dead and inactive in the
fight against the saloon that you
cannot hear them walking in dry
leaves. At the meeting 1S
