20 PER CENT
LAW SUSTAINED
FAIR TEST FOR PARTY NOMINk.
TON, RULES THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
TWO JUSTICES DISSENTING
democrats in Many Counties Having
Failed of the Required Vote
Must Now Run as Inde-
pendent Candidates.

Madison.-The supreme court in a
accession upheld the 20 per cent re-
Qulrement OF the primary election
law. The decision was rendered in
the cast OF the State ex rel. l.. c.
McGreal, ct al. vs.. Frank Philips ct
al. Justices Winslow and Timlin
dissented.
In this case 1t was sought to COM
pei the board OF canvassers of Mil
waukee county to certify the names
OF the petitioners as those of the
regular nominees of the Democratic
party in that county, entitled to have
their names placed on the official
ballot as such for the general cleo
ton of 1910.
The petition, by appropriate allie
cations, showed that at the last pri-
mary election each petitioner re-
ceived the greatest number of votes
cast thereat for any one to be the
Democratic party candidate for the
particular county Office for which
be was a candidate at such primary,
but that the aggregate vote of all
candidates for such office was not 20
per cent Of the vote of such county
for the Democratic candidate for
governor at the general election in
1908, and by reason thereof the
board of canvassers will not, unless
judicially coerced thereto, certify his
name for place on the official bal
lot as the candidate of his party for
such Office at the next general cleo
ton. The petition further showed
that the Democratic party is a polit-
zeal organization which has existed
for many years and without excep-
ton, on all occasions therefor pre-
sented candidates for public offices
and proclaimed party principles to
be represented by such candidate.
The defendants, as members of the
board CT county canvassers of Mil
waukee county, demurred to the COM
plant for insufficiency and further
for want of jurisdiction of the court
over the subject OF the action.
In a second case, that of the state,
ex rel, T. T.. Hanan VS.. James A.
Frear, ct al, seeking to compel the
secretary of state to certify to the
various county clerks the name Of
Hanan as Democratic candidate for
state senator in the Twenty-frst dis
trict to be placed on the official bal
lot, the same questions were raised
and the court says that the cause is
ruled by the decision in the McGreal-
Phelps case. Following that deci-
sion the demurrer for insufficiency
must be sustained, the court says,
and the action dismissed. The court
so orders.

BANCROFT ON
STATE TICKET
COURT HOLDS THAT VOTES FOR
FIT. TUCKER ARE so MUCH
BLANK VOTES.
CR0WNHART is DISPLACED
Opinion of the Court, Three justices
Dissenting, Is That Votes For
Deceased Person Can
not be Counted.

Madison. - The state supreme
court in a decision from which JUS
tees Winslow, Siebecker and Kerwin
dissented. held that votes for q de-
ceased person by persons who knew
the fact of his decease must be re-
garded as so much blank paper.
The court grants the injunction
asked for by Speaker Levi H. Ban
croft, as prayed for in his complaint.
and orders the secretary OF state to
place the name of Mr.. Bancroft, who
received nearly 10000 votes In the
primary, on the official ballot for at
torney general.
In the dissenting opinion It Is
held that section "a of the statutes
or 1898 is made applicable to pri-
mary elections by the primary cleo
tton law of 1893; and therefore the
provision for filling vacancies in gen.
erai elections in cases of death after
the ballots are printed, applies to the
primary that the ballots for Tucker
are legal and that the relator, Ban
croft, is not entitled to have his
The court says: THE following
propositions are decided in this case:
I'D The provisions of the gen.
eral election law contained in sec
tion 81, statutes of 1898, relating to
the filing of vacancies caused by
the declination, deatn or other dlsa-
bility of a nominated candidate are
not imported into the primary cleo
tion law and hence do not apply to
primary elections
"(2) Under the allegations of the
complaint 1t must be held that the
fact of The death Of Mr. Tucker was
brought home co the knowledge OF
the great mass of the electors of the
state before the holding of the pri-
mary and that the great majority of
the electors who placed a cross OPP
poslte his name upon the primary
ballot did so with such knowledge.
"(3) Votes which are in form cast
for a deceased person by voters who
know the fact of his decease cannot
be considered as votes for or against
any person, but must be regarded as
so much blank paper.
go 1t follows that under the al
legations OF the complaint the re-
lator received the greatest number
of votes cast at the primary as q Re-
publican candidate for the Office of
attorney general and under subd. l
of section Is of the primary law Is
entitled - have his name placed
upon the official ballot as such can

General Garfieid's Yelled Prediction of
His Own Nomination for Presi-
dency Just Before Starting
to the Convention.

The late John H. Starin, who might
have been governor of New York had
he been willing to accept nomination
In the late sos, and who was for some
years a member of congress from one
OF the New York districts, was es-
teemed by business men as one of the
ablest of American men of affairs. He
accumulated very large fortune, was
prominent in civic affairs, and to him
the city of New York owes a debt of
gratitude for his services in aiding
to establish the subway rapid transit
system.
During a part of the time that 1
was in congress" said Mr.. Starin to
me several years before his DEATH
which occurred in 1909, my seat in the
house of representatives adjoined that
OF James A. Garfield. We became
very warm friends, and conceived so
great an admiration of his ability that
year or two before the presidential
conventions of 1880 had come to
hold the opinion that General Garfield
was in many respects the most avail
able candidate from the west for the
republicans to nominate for the presi-
dency. OF course, later on, as the
delegate from my own state to the Re
publican convention, was bound to
support the nomination of General
Grant But had a lurking feeling
that If we could not nominate Grant,
Garfield would be our man.
1T so happened that both General
Garfield and l planned independently
TO go from Washington to Chicago to
attend the convention by the same
train. Garfield was chairman of the
Ohio delegation, which had been in
sructed to support the nomination of
John Sherman. We were greatly
pleased when we discovered that we
were to take the same train.
We both were in the house of rep
fesentatives the morning of the day
we were to leave for Chicago. Rather
4ate In the afternoon Garfield turned
70 me, and said: 'Starin, it is time for
US to start. My gripsack is In the
cloak room, and l suppose yours IL
also. Let's go together from the capt.
toi to the railway station, and wen

grlpsack from the attendant in the
cloak room, l heard some one say to

~ vas, except that it was Democrat:
FAIRFIELD, whom are you going to nom
'ate for president at the convention?
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1910-10-21
Prophecy That Was Fulfilled

You don't expect to nominate Sher-
man, do you? And we Democrats fig
ure that Blaine and Grant win neu-
tralize each others votes
I'm reply Garfield said: I am to
nominate Sherman in behalf Of the
state of Ohio. OF course we all hope
that he will be nominated by the con-
vention.'
But whom are you going to nom
mate, Garfield?' persisted the Demo
crat.
Il remember perfectly how Gar
field looked when that question was
repeated to him He turned half
around, there was a cordial smile upon
his face-one that was characteristic
of him-and then he said 81 don't
know. It's very likely to be some
one not now named. 1t is just as
likely to be myself as anybody else
Il was nightly impressed by that
reply. 1t confirmed my own impress
sion that Garfield might be our can
didate; l had already said to one or
two friends: We can't nominate
Grant, Blaine cannot be nominated,
and in my opinion Garfield will be the
man And l am satisfied that at the
time Garfield left Washington for Chi
cago in my company he had reasoned
the situation out exactly as | had
done"

Charles C. cIarke's Delightful Renin-
lscences of the Childhood of David
3. Hill, Former Governor of
New York.

In May there died the last of the
original group OF men who were as
ISOLATED intimately with Commodore
Vanderbilt In the building up OF his
great railroad system. This was
Charles G. Clarke, who as auditor.
treasurer and first vice-president of
the commodore's railroad, was his en-
pJoyers financial right-hand man for
years. For more than half a century
Mr.. Clarke was a public character,
first as state employee and banker.
and from 1854 until his retirement, as
g railroad man. In that period be
came to meet most of the big men Of
his state, and his recollections of Mil
lard Fillmore and Commodore Van
derbilt were particularly vivid. Yet
what he called the most surprising ex-
perience in his long business life had
nothing to do with either Of these
great men of yesterday
When was assistant deputy
treasurer of New York state at the
time Willard Fillmore was comp
troller," said Mr.. Clarke, II made the
acquaintance of a number of men
engaged in important business under
takings in western New York. One
of these men was establishing a bank
in the town of Havana; he asked me
to take executive charge of it and
accepted his offer That was in the
year 1852.
Soon after l went to Havana it be-
came necessary to make some import
ant changes in the bank building
and offices, and to do this work / en-

worthy man, who did honest work.
One day he brought with him to the
job a bright-eyed little fellow, who
was. should say, about nine years
old. The youngster attracted my at
tention and / asked him if he went to
school. He said he did, and then l
asked him what he wanted to do when
he became a man. He replied that he
wanted to own newspaper.

bore bunch Of violets in his hand
