.LORIMER CASE NOW
MATHEMATICAL ONE
Gamble Raises Question
Eliminating So-Called
Tainted Votes.

The Lorimer case has now narrowed
down to one Of mathematics. 1t does
not appertain to geometry or trigonom-
Ietry or the higher calculus, but to plain
or garden arithmetic.
The question is, IL the votes of some
of the members of a legislature who
vote for a Senator are tainted, how you
are to go about it to calculate whether
the Senator has enough untainted votes
10 elect him.
On this issue, the Senate is divided.
Some Senators say one must follow one
rule on the matter; others say another
rule applies. To date, there are no
signs of the class in arithmetic getting
together, and reaching an agreement as
to how to work out the problem. On
the way to solve the problem may de-
pend the question whether Senator Lor-
inner remains a Senator Of the United
States or whether he is cast back into
the cold world of private life.
Gamble Propounds Problem.
Senator Gamble started the arithmet-
ic difficulty over LorImer. The South
Dakota Senator figured 1t out that even
IL there were ten votes in the Illinois
Legislature corrupt, as stated by Senator
Beveridge in the minority report, that
the election.
In the vote that elected him, Senator
Lorimer got los out of 2O2 votes cast.
Senator Gamble said the ten votes had
to be deducted from the 302, and this
would leave 1872 votes entitled to be
counted. Taking ten votes from the
number Lorimer received would leave
IS. Now, IS is a majority of 1872, and,
therefore, says Senator Gamble, he is
elected even allowing that ten votes
were corrupted, which he does not ad-
nit
Absurd, Says Cunmins.
Senator Cummins maintains that this
rule is absurd, and that the Senate has
never in any way indicated its approval
of such a way of calculation when II
comes to throwing out tainted votes
Senator Bailey insisted that Senator
Gamble was right, and that under the
law there was no other way to figure
tine problem.
Senator Cummins declares that he will
be able to show that there is no valid
support for the contention made by
Senators Gamble and Bailey. He will
speak in a short time and will discuss
this phase of the subject among others.
II looks now as II the real struggle in
the Senate over the retention or election
of Lorimer might center around this
very point.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS SHIPPING
EGGS BY THE CARLOAD.
Towns Not on the Map Three Years
Ago Are Sending Out Trains
Loaded with Hen Fruit.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle.I

San Antonio, Feb 11-Texas is
shipping eggs to Northern and Eastern
markets by the carloads. Yesterday
full car shipments were made from
more than dozen towns in the south
west portion of the state. A most
peculiar thing about this increase of
egg product is the fact that car lots
have recently been sent out of the
state from towns which were not on
the map three years ago.

PARAGRAPHS CONTRIBUTED BY
COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES

Although cattle demanded a better
price during 1910 than in any previous
year, the market sales of livestock fell
short during this year to a consider
able degree in Texas. The increased
cost of meat, though believed by some
to be due to an increase in demand,
is really caused by shortage in
production. Texas furnishes excellent
range for cattle with timber protec-
ton in winter and grazing land in sum-
mer, and there is no reason why the
Texas farmer should not take advan.
tage of the golden opportunities Of
fered the stock raiser in this state.

Will Remain Neutral.

Refraining from taking part in the
Democratic primaries in the city and
county has always been policy close
" adhered to by the News, and in
view of the approaching struggle be-
tween the aspirants for the Offices of
Councilmen in the three wards in the
city the News will follow this policy
and decline to affiliate itself editorial
with either of the factions.
IL the past we have observed that a
newspaper in taking a stand with one
faction or the other in a heated pri-
mary election, an enmity is incurred
and often years axe consumed in ar
effort to heal the breach occasioned by
differing from one political faction,
prircipaily SO il that particular faction
should meet defeat in the primary
election.
To this time we have not been APP
preached by any member of either
faction in regard to supporting any OF
the candidates for these particular
city Offices, nor have we in mind the
idea of championing the cause of any
candidates or factions in the coming
primary.
From present indications the cam
paign will be ore of the warmest in
the history of city politics. Both sides
are backed by leaders eminently
capable of commanding their forces in
the field on election day and from now
on a vigorous camp8ing will be pur-
sued
We take this occasion CT denying
our support TO either faction and the
News in the campaign will remain on
neutral ground. Any articles in re-
gard to the campaign published in the
News will not be regarded as being
our sentiments but will gain publ
cation at the instance of faction favor
ed by such articles and at the regular
advertising rate.

First Game On the Winchester
Grounds.

The Directors of the Blue Grass
League met in Lexington Wednesday
with President Neal presiding and all
clubs represented with the exception
of Maysville. President ]. w. Bacon
represented the Paris Club.
The directors decided that after
August 20 no player who was not
under contract and who had not re-
ported prior to this date be allowed to
take part in any game in the Blue
Grass League during the remainder Of
the season.
The question of the post-season
championship series Of seven games
was then taken up and discussed in
regard to the time the series should
start and the division Of the gate re-
ceipts. It WAS decided that no player
" no was not under contract and who
had not reported five days previous to
the opening of the series be allowed to
participate in the championship games
unless some player Of the cCntesting
clubs be injured and incapacitated for
playing. In this event the presidents
Of the two clubs together with the
league president, should agree on. the
player to be secured.

are to continue at such time and

winning clubs shall agree. urtiI four
games shall have been Won ty ore

The question of the division Of the
gate receipts was left in the hands of
the owners of the clubs contesting for
the championship.
1t now looks as though Paris and
Winchester will fight it out for the
championship, as Winchester won the
pennant for the first half Of the season
and nothing short of a miracle can
keep the Bourbonites from winning
the rag for the second half.
