the temporary chairman. Seeing that
his gave absolute power to Roosevelt.
Speaker Wadsworth of the assembly
strongly opposed the resolution. He
took the position that each congress
sional district should name it's own
members, as had been done in pre-
vious republican conventions for
many years. The progressives, how
ever, were in the ascendency, and the
resolutions as drafted by friends of
Mr.. Roosevelt were carried.
The makeup Of the committee on
resolutions which was to thresh over
the important direct primary plank,
caused Roosevelt to hold up the con-
vention until he could 60 over the
names before him. He called Repre-
sentative Herbert Parsons of New
York to the speakers stand and after
striking out three of the names sub
mitted, announced the resolutions

FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ARREST
TRICK BALLOT MANIPULAT0RS

United States District Attorney Hill
seems to think it is about time to put
stop to the trick ballot business in
certain parts of this State. He has
had arrested John E. Stone and John
M. Miller, Democratic members OF
the Board of Election Supervisors Tor
Charles county, who are charged with
violating Sections 10 and 20 Of the
Revised Statutes passed by the last
Congress, which make it an offense to
conspire to deprive persons of rights
and privileges guaranteed them by the
United States.
Mr.. John M. Dulany who contract
ed to print the ballots used at the cleo
ton, and which ballots form the basis
of the charge against the supervisors,
was also ordered arrested, he under
the construction OF Section 1872, being
a party TO the alleged offense.
The action taken follows a careful
investigation by the district attorney,
who has been at work since the day
following the election, when Congress
man-clect Psrran advised him that, III
his Judgment, the federal law had been
violated. Mr.. Sydney E. Mudd, IT,,
and other leading Republicans who
have been repeatedly victimized by
means of trick ballots, joined with Mr..
Parran in demanding an investigation,
and Major Hill requested them to sub
NIT testimony substantiating the
charges preferred
Since then a number OF witnesses
have been examined with reference to
the arrangement OF the ballot but the
most important testimony was that
furnished by the minority supervisor,
u. Writ Wilmer. In conjunction with
this evidence were copies of the official
ballot, which substantiated the charges
with reference to the arrangement of
the names. District Attorney Hill
gave out the following statement as
the result of his investigation.
THE warrants were issued under
two sections of the penal code Of the
United States of 1900 The sections
are 10 and 20. Section 10 provides
that if two or more persons conspire
to injure or intimidate any person in
the exercise of any privilege guaran-
teed by the laws OF the United States
he shall be punished thereon. Sec
ton 20 makes it unlawful to deprive
anyone Of any privilege guaranteed by
the laws of the United States. The
penalty is a fine not exceeding $1,000,
or imprisonment not exceeding one
year and ineligibility for Office.

would probably be fined $Ioo and costs.
His otfense also involves confiscation
OF his boat and outfit, at the discre
ton OF the magistrate or Court. 1t is
likely that the fine will be paid and no
appeal be taken by Captain Biddle.
