Paul Morton was born in Detroit,
May %, 1857, and went TO = 5raska
With his parents six months .a.er. He
began bis railroad career in the land
department OF the Burlington road In
iowa. In May. 1873. he was employed
n the general freight-offlce of the Bur
llngton road at PlattsmOuth. Neb., and
from there he went to the general
freight Office in Chicago. being ap-
pointed assistant general freight agent
of the Burlington in 1878 at the age OF
twenty-one. He occupied this and bet
ter positions in the freight service un-
til 1886. when. at the request OF the
management of the Burlington, he took
the position of general passenger
agent.
From the position OF general pas
songer agent he was selected for the
general freight agency, and remained
with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
in that position until 1890. when he en-
gagged In the coal and iron business as
president OF a coal company operating
in Iowa and Illinois, and vice presl-
dent of what is now the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company.
He remained with these companies
until the end of 1895, when he accept
ed the vice presidency Of the Atchison,
Topeka G. Santa Fe railway, in charge
of its commercial affairs.
In 1904, largely owing to his per-
sonal friendship for President Roose-
welt. he accepted the secretaryship Of
the navy. In doing this he sacrificed a
salary Of $25, 1000 for one Of $4,000.
Mr.. Morton was credited with pos
sessing an independent fortune. vari-
ously estimated from 100000 to 81
0OO. 600, having made nearly 100000
on the sale Of the Indiana, Illinois &
Iowa railroad to the Vanderbilts. In
deciding regarding President Roose-
yelt's offer, therefore, the monetary
consideration did not enter into the
question.
In 1905 he was elected president OF
the Equitable Life Assurance society
at a salary of $4,000 a year
Mr. Morton. in 1880, was married to
Miss Charlotte Goodrich. an accom-
plished and popular young woman OF
Chicago. They had two daughters.

The fight against the reelection Of
Matthew Stanley Quay to the United
States senate in 1899 was one OF the
memorable political battles Of Penn
sylyania When the legislature met to
elect senator the forces in favor Of
John Wanamaker had sufficient votes
to enforce deadlock. and after sew
enty-nine fruitless ballots the legis a.
ture adjourned without electing a sen
ator. Quay's term expired on March 4,
1899, and on April Fl. 1899. Governor
Stone made out commission for him
to hold Office until the next legisla-
ture should meet and regularly elect a
senator. The governor contended that
he had the right to appoint because
the vacancy did not arise in a recess
of the legislature, but while that body
was actually in session.
A bitter and long drawn out contest
was waged in the United States sen
ate over the legality Of this appoint
ment. The constitutional arguments
from the time the case was taken up
in the senate. Feb. %. 1900. after a
long investigation by the committee
on privileges and election, until voted
upon April "a, took up the time OF the
senate to the exclusion of virtually all
other business.
The chief argument for Quay was
that the constitution contemplated full
representation from each state. and the
principal point against him that his
admission would tend to shift the sen
atoriaI election from the legislature,
and hence the people. to a partisan
governor. The senate by vote of 80
to go refused to seat Quay. On Jan. Is,
1901. he was elected by the legislature
for the balance Of the term, which had
begun March 4, 1899.

BOrahUrgeSEIeCtiOn of Sen
tors to End Bribery.
CITES MANY SCANDALS
Idaho Senator Declares That Only
the Fierce Light Of Public
Opinion Can End Cor
ruption.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Bor-
ali, OF Idaho, cited the long deadlock
and hot fight against Matthew Stanley
Quay in 1899 In the senate In adyC-
eating the adoption Of the resolution
to submit TO the states an amendment
to the constitution for the popular
election of United States senator.
In some fourteen instances states
have gone without full representation
in the senate because OF deadlocks in
the legislature" he said. "In other in
stances bribery and corruption and
scandal have attached to the sessions.
1T is not alone that direct and open
bribery sometimes prevail; but that
which is equally as bad more Noften
prevails-bills and measures are trad
ed or killed; the public interest Is sac
rilced or actually bartered away; pa
tronage and Office enter in the deal and
the whole affair becomes a disgrace
and is of itself sufficient condemna-
ton Of the present system"
The senator specifically cited the
contests in Pennsylvania in 1899; In
Maryland in 1904, and In Missouri In
1905.
Prior to 1872" he declared. I'VE
had only one case OF alleged election
bribery connected with seat upon
this floor. Since that time We have
had ten, to say nothing Of number Of
investigations before state legislatures
which never reached this body"
Senator Borah referred to the case
OF Senator Lorimer. Of Illinois. as an
illustration OF the vice of the sys-
TEN under which we now elect sena-
tors"
IF there IL any state where the
present system might be fairly test
ed" he said. 1T ought to be Ia illinois.
No commonwealth is better fitted in
tradition, in pride OF history. in the
intelligence and manhood OF her peo-
pie to meet and discharge the duties
which properly pertain TO the state.
Yet her prominence now and during
the last year is not que 10 nef ihuus-
trial prowess. but TO that scandal and
shame which has been fastened upon
her by reason OF senatorial cleo
ton.
And now VIC are solemnly told by
a committee of this body that so
shameless and demoralized. criminal
and degraded. were many OF the mem
bers OF that legislature that they can
not be believed under oath. At the
present time the legislature of that
great state. by reason Of that election,
is meeting under the eye and surveil-
lance of a grand jury"
Senator BOrah closed with an appeal
for a popular vote to the open forum
upon which beats the fierce light OF
public opinion"

didn't want Marshall nominated, but he
felt that Marshall was better for him
than Slack would be- so he gave Mar
shall his votes and nominated him. But
this time he does not intend to get
caught in that position again. He is
going TO have two strings to his bow.
He will have O'Brien on hand ready to
take the nomination If such an emer-
gency arises again And that is why
Dale j. Crittenberger, of Anderson, is
talked of as candidate for auditor of
state. OBrien is candidate for re-
nomination for that office and he will
get the nomination again II everything
goes right. But If il comes to a point
where O'Brien has to take the nominal
| tion for Governor Crittenberger will be
ready to take the nomination for audi
| tor OF state. Crittenberger is a full
iedged Taggart machine man. and mis-
nomination for auditor of state would
be all right with Taggart"
| There is one thing about the South
Bend papers poll of the Democratic edi-
tors that must be kept in mind. ana
that is that alrge majority of the
Democratic editors of the state are
Taggart men, and naturally their vote
in the poll taken would naturally be
for Ralston. since he is the Taggart
candidate for the place.
| The poll shows. for another thing,
| that John w. Boehne. OF Evansville. Is
| Ralston's strongest competitor for the
nomination for Governor. but this has
been known to be the fact ever since
Boehnes name was announced. Bur
it Is true, according to reports that
come direct from the First district
that the Democratic leaders OF thai
section of the state are not as enthusi-
astic in his BELT as they might be. One
well known Democratic leader from
that district said the other day thai
they were al for Boehne. but that they
were not working overtime on the job
With this handicap in his own district
Boehne cannot hope to make very grea
progress in his campaign.

for the nomination for Governor, yet
there does not appear to be any ground
for this theory. Wherever you fino IA
Taggart man you find him talking for
Ralston. The entire Taggart machine
Is behind Ralston at this time. Tag
CARTS old time 1ieutenants are de-
nouncing emphatlcaliy the double cross
story. They say that Taggart and all
OF his influence will be for Ralston.
They say that O'Brien is not a candi-
date and that he will not be a candi-
date unless at the last moment in the
convention 1t is found tina Ralston can
not be nominated. But, they say. this
situation will not arise, because Rails
ton is certain of the nomination One
who always knows what Is going ON
and who helps to shape the policy OF
the Taggart machine. explained this
matter in this way:
"Taggart does not propose TO be
caught in the next state convention
the way he was caught at the last con-
vention, when Marshall was nominated
for Governor, In the 1908 convention
Taggart thought Ralston was sure
OF the nomination. But at the las,
minute he found that l. Ert Slack was
gaining on Ralston, and that he prob
ably would overtalSe him and land the
nomination himself. Taggart had nc
other candidate than Ralston to whom
| he could throw his vote He was
| caught in jam. The only way he
could beat Slack. whom he did not like
and who was lighting him. was b,
| throwing his trength to Marshall III.

Ralston will be nominated on the first
ballot Ralston has been for months
perfecting his organization throughout
the state. and he has practically all of
the old wheel horse of the party be
hind him. The fact that he made such
an early start and lined up the working
forces thoroughly seems to indicate
that he has left little for any other
candidate to do.
There Is one condition that has ap-
peared In the Governorship fight among
the Democrats that is significant in
this respect. and that is that many of
the Democrats who are aainst Taggart
in national politics are nevertheless for
Ralston for Governor. Everybody
knows that Ralston is Taggart can
didate for the nomination. but this does
not appear to be making any difference
20 the anti-Taggart Democrats who are
supporting him.
A weli-known anti-Tagart Democrat
from Anderson was in the city few
days ago, and in conversation he
stated clearly that he was in favor of
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for
President and Ralston for Governor.
Taggart Is workin against the nomina-
ton of Wilson and this man knows 1t.
The fact is that Ralston has his own
popularity among the Democrats of the
state, and this is sure to be of great
help to him when the time comes to
make a nomination for Governor
While there has been a great deal oil
| talk about the prospect that Taggart
would finally double cross Ralston and

RObber Caught?

On information furnished by
Marshal Horton, Sheriff Martin
arrested John Mullens, at one
time a resident of this city, just
as Mullens entered the city of
Columbus Wednesday morning
early. Horton suspected Mnllens
of being one of the fellows who
robbed the depot here last Tues.
day night, and phoned Martin to
watch out for him, as he was
headed north. Mullens lives in
Columbus. Since his arrest, he
has told several stories, no two
of them alike, and the officers
are sure they have one of the
guilty parties.
Mullens is the boy who robbed
the McAboy meat market in this
city couple of years ago, and
he also robbed a hardware store
here. He is a bad boy in every
sense of the word. He was six
teen years old last, August, but
known enough about crime to be
forty.
1t is thought Mullens will con-
fess, and tell whom the other
fellow is who helped him do the 4
lob.
