Voters Should Familiarize Themselves with the Stat ute to Prevent Political Independence Which Was Passed by Last General Assembly.
If it Appears" to Town
 Chairman and Registrar That a Voter Intends to
 Cast an Independent Bal lot, They May Expel Him.

You Republicans who voted for Buckingham, how would you like a court of inquiry consisting of M. H. Rogers, town chairman, and the depu- ty republican registrar of your dis trict to sit upon your case, find that you voted for Buckingham, and decide that you are therefore no longer a Republican? How would you like it publican primary list, so that you could not longer participate in the councils of your party?
 For a hundred years good citizens have been trying to teach the Ameri- can voter to preserve his party affili- ations, according to his belief, or dis belief, in certain broad policies, but to use his vote independently with respect to candidates for office, and especially with respect to candidates long a time political machines have been trying to shaclzle the electors to a partisan program, by means of leg islation.
 making is the Primary Act passed by the last General Assembly, which will be found as Chapter 265 of the Pub lie Acts. Read this extract from Sec. Of the law:
 Whenever the registrar of any
 political party or the deputy regis trar shall be of the opinion that any person on the enrolment list of the political party which said registrar represents is not in~good faith a member of that political party and does not intend to sup port its principles, OR CANDI-
 DATES. said register shall cite
 such person to appear before him-
 self and the chairman of the town
 committee to show cause why his
 name should not be erased from
 said enrolment list.
 It will be seen that MT. Rogers, with the registrar, or the deputy reg istrar of your ward.7Mr. Republican you couldn't longer endure to see the city turned into a feast for the special privilege corporations-is constituted a high court of justice with plenary powers to read you out of your par ty.
 More than this. MT. Voter. it is not necessary for your expulsion from your party that you should actually have committed an offense against the political machine. even that of voting | for theN man whom you believe best equipped for the office.
 You are to be "cited". before the high court, which is to consist of the town chairman, and the registrar, or you do not respond to the citation, Judgment may be given against you by default. If you do respond the charming piece of legislation, provides as follows:
 eff it shall APPEAR to such reg
 istrar and such chairman, that said person is not affiliating with such political party, and does not in
 tend to support the principles or candidates of such party. his name may thereupon be erased from the enrolment list"
 The law provides an appeal to the courts. But to each appeal must be attached a bond of $50.
 The opinion of the best lawyers
 seems to be that the act contains many elements that make it uncon- stitutiona1. And that it's real pur-
 pose is to frighten party men out of their independence

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 14.-Delegates

the American Bankers association in
the opening session today had outlined

der his plan such a bank would be the
depository of the government, which n,
however. would not nave supervision or
control of the banks affairs.
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, who adcc
dressed the convention at the close of
the morning session, declared that the
law enacted after the panic of 1907 the
Vreeland-Aldrich acN was not perfect
but has had good results.
Lawrence O. Murray, comptroller OF

with his plan for the cooperation OF

FOR BETTER WARDENS,
Notable Improvement in Game Depart
ment Is Looked for Under Rlcke-
mans Administration

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 14.-[Special.l
Notable improvement in the efficiency
and personnel of the game warden de-
partment is looked for under the super
vision of Chief Game Warden George
w Rickeman, which already has ac-
complished significant results. Quite
number of changes have been made
quietly and unostentatiOusly in the per
sonnet, taking principally into account
the testimony at the senatorial inves1ga-
ton last winter, and several vacancies
will be filled soon. There will be a civil
service examination for candidates for
game warden positions on October 2, and
there seems to be every disposition on the
part of the chief game warden to CO.
operate with the civil service commission
in upbuiding his department. There IS
q noticeable decrease in the amount or
pressure of a political nature brought to
bear on the department, and that is CON
sidered one Of the most significant signs
of an improvement. +. E. Doty. secre-
tary of the civil service commission, be-
leves that the staff of wardens retained
and those to be added will represent
higher grade of men, due largely to the
fact that the position is now more at
tractive to men who are willing to do
their duty as game wardens and who
refuse to use their position to push the
political fortunts of candidates for office
There also is prospect of an increase IN
the salaries of wardens from 500 to $3
a day and expenses.

READY FOR WEDDING;
FORGETS ABOUT GIRL.
North Fond du Lac Man Gets License
Without Paying Court to HIS In
tended-"Bride" Balks.

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Sept. ID
Especial. For a modern1zed Weod1hs'
Henry Stewart of North Fond du Lac
ably have come out with flying colors,
INT for one thing-he forgot to ask his
prospective bride to marry him.
Mr.. Stewart is an employe in the -
line shops, and for several weeks ms
companions had been telling nina that
his personal charms had attracted the
attention Of Miss Gertrude Yates, an
empfoye at one of the village hotels
Henry could not get up enough nerve 10
pay court to the young Lady and FOR :
time his suit did not prosper.
Finally friend told Henry that ii he
cot a marriage license the girl OF ms
choice would undoubtedly wed HIM
Henry got the marriage license from the
county clerk and is also said to have
hired a minister to perform the cere-
mOny.
When everything had apparently bee
prepared for the wedding-that IS,
Henry's part-Miss Yates suddenly
learned of the affair. She gave a de-
cisive "'No' when Henry told her OF the
marriage license and preparations for
welded bliss that he had made. AS a
result Henry has marriage license but
no wife.
THAT man never asked me TO marry
him until he got a license said Miss
Yates. Il wouldn't marry him anyhow,
and I don't know why he thought |
would. Why, he even said he would
send carriage for me, but told MN to
forget all about it.

School Children Go Friday.
BRAVE MEN OF COLOR.
Insult to Race Resented by a Chicago
Lawyer-Not Undesirable
Citizens"

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 14.-Municipal
Judge Sheridan E. Fry, who referred to
the colored residents of Woodland Satur
day evening as "undeSirables," was Civ
en- a grilling yesterday by Franklin A.
DenisOn, major of the colored regiment
of the state militia. The major is also an
assistant corporation counsel. He wrote
an open letter yesterday to the municipal
judge, in which he is very sarcastic and
apologies to Judge Fry for having
help to boost him to the municipal bench.
After referring to the newspaper &C
counts of the meeting at 6512 Cottage
Grove avenue Saturday, at which Judge
Fry spoke, the major continues:
''In the Magazine of History Of June,
1909 l find that the Col. Henshaw chap
ter, D. A. R., of Leicester, Mass, is to
erect a memorial to Peter Salem, negro
soldier of the Revolution, and for many
years a settler in the south part of the
town on the road which is known as Pc
ter Salem's Road Was this man an
undesirable citizen!
"The records of the war department
disclose that there were 13S regiments
of colored infantry and IL of cavalry and
artillery in the Civil war, and that they
took part in more than $50 engagements,
and won the official praise, The colored
troops fought nobly.' Were these men
undesirable citizensY"
The colored lawyer refers to the spe-
cial praise given the Twentyfourth and
Twenty fifth infantry and the Ninth and
Tenth cavalry during the Spanish-Amert-
can war. He also comments upon the
service rendered in this war by the
Eighth Illinois infantry and asks if these
also are undesirable citizens" He con-
cludeS as follows:
''For fear you may not take the time
to look up the records, permit me to say
that the 'undesirables' of whom you
speak owned and occupied property in
Hyde Park long before you came into
being.
friends; if [ have used my time and
means in assisting you to a position OF
honor, [ ask your pardon"
