New Date for Contest Hearing.

jefferson City, Mo-, July Is. The
testimony and finding in the contest
proceedings filed by Judges James
b. CAN'T and H. c. Timmonds and
Professor Howard A. Gass, Demo-
Gratis, to obtain two seats upon the
Supreme Court bench and the office
of State Superintendent of Public
Schools, must be submitted to the
Supreme Court of Missouri by Octo-
Der 10.
This was the effect of an order
made by the court to-day after over
ruling a motion filed by the attorneys
for the Republican contestees, Judges
John kennish and John C. Brown
and Professor W. p. Evans, to dis
MISS the entire proceedings.
The ruling means that the court is
not convinced the contests were in
stituted in bad faith on the part of the
Democrats, or that the Supreme Court
of the State has no jurisdiction to
hear such proceedings. These points
have been urged by the Republican
conteSteeS.
Another meaning is that the court
does not propose to wait an unreason-
able length of time for the issues to
be fully submitted and the litigation
brought to close.
Supreme Court Commissioner X.
E. Culver of St. Joseph must use his
best endeavors to expediate matters.
In a previous order the court had
directed the Commissioner to file the
evidence and his finding by August |.
In the order extending the time to
October 10 is strong hint that no
additional time should be asked.
The proceedings will be heard by
Judges Valiant, Graves, Woodson,
Lamm and Ferriss, the other two
Judges, Kennish and Brown, being

CuMMINS FOR
RECIP ROC|TY
SENATOR IN BROOKLYN SPEECH
SAYS He WANTS ADDITIONS
TO THE FREE LIST.

New York, Feb. Ex-senator Albert
B. Cummins Of Iowa, spoke in advo-
cacy of the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment before the Union League club of
Brooklyn Saturday night.
II am for reciprocity with Canada.
but am not for every trade arrange.
ment that may be proposed under the
name OF reciprocity just as was for
the system of protection in 1909, but
was not for the Payne-Aldrich tarirr
law.
Il am not one of those who be-
lieve that the free admission of agri-
cultural products into the United
states will materially affect our
farmers. do believe that while we
are admitting free the things which
the farmer sells we should also admit
free some Of the things the farmer
buys.
II expect to insist that with regard
to imports from Canada there shall be
admitted free Of duty timber and lum.
Der in all their forms, coal in all its
forms, iron ore Of all kinds; iron or
steel in all its forms glass, wooden
and cotton cloth; clothing, boots and
shoes; carpets, furniture, meat in all
its forms, -four and all such things.
: 1T Is not necessary to ask Canada
to allow US to make additions to our
free list. To me 1t seems absurd to
admit Canadian wheat free and main.
tain a duty on Canadian flour; to adj
NIT Canadian cattle and hogs free and
charge duty on Canadian meat; to
admit Canadian dairy products free
and keen orr d1Itips on Canadian iron
ore and Canadian coal; to admit Can
adam poultry, vegetables and fruits
free and collect burdensome duties on
laths, shingles and planed boards.
If it required the consent of the
