forts 10 secure prompt action on the
matter in both the House and the Sen

Tor. Llewellyn Jordan, who is in
charge Of the campaign TO secure sig
natures to the petition sanctioned by
President Taft asking for the desired
legislation from Congress. has already
begun to receive returns from the 1850
copies of the petitions he sent 20 all
parts Of the country for Signatures.
Those which have come back bear the
signatures not only of the subordinate
Government employees, but also the
names and long Endorsements from
prominent and well known officials Of
the Government.
The showing Of these petitions sent
in front the various sections Of the
country are considered a fitting backing
for the 1900 signatures which have
been obtained for The petition In the
District of Columbia.
II is now Dr.. Jordans plan to submit
these petitions To Congress next Tues
day. when the committees hear the final
arguments for the retirement iegisla-
ton
IN addition TO the showing made by
the petitions. fricnds Of the movement
today received assurances from mem
bers of the Cabinet that there is no re-
Taxation in the campaign that has been
carried on by them and the President
70 have Congress adopt at least such
legislation as viii give the heads OF
the department the right 10 retire the
aged clerks wheU they have been taund
10 be Inefficient through age. But IN,
point is made that these ratircmeuts
will not OcuCr unless annUitisS can be
given to those who are retired.

Fifth PRECINCT
men TALK BACK
Chamberlain and LoWrey Oh
iect to Being Made the
Party Goat.

W. w. Chamberlain and Mr.. Low
rcy, the secretary of the Republican
precinct club of the Fifth Precinct
of the Fourth Distrigt, are up in
arms against the charges of bad
faith made against the organization
in that precinct.
They have compiled figures that
show the trouble in the Lane vote
was not with the Fifth Precinct
alone, but with the whole Fourth
District scratches.
Speaking of the matter this noon,
Chamberlain and Lowrey pointed out
that seventy-cight is the average of
the Democratic vote for Senator and
Representative in the First of the
Fourth. That precinct gave Fern a
majority, drawing 81 votes FROM the
Republicans.
In the Second Precinct the aver
age of the Senate and House Demo-
Gratis was 101. That precinct gave
Fern 1873, drawing 81 Republican
votes.
In the Third Precinct the Demo.
cratic average was A votes. They
gave Fern So, drawing Al Republi-
can votes.
In the Fourth the Democratic av-
erage is 40. Fern got %, drawing
46 Republican votes.
In the Fifth, that is getting all the
abuse, the Democratic average is 81.
Fern got 1l5, drawing So Republi,
can votes.
"Thc trouble Is not with the Fifth
of the Fourth" says Chamberlain,
but with section of the whole
Fourth District.
"The Republican precinct club
worked earnestly for the straight Re-
publican ticket. II is being made
the subject of unfair criticism"
