Anti-Pass Measures.

Springfield, Ill, Jan. 26.-The first
bill aimed at the regulation of the
speed of automobiles was introduced in
the senate yesterday by Senator Bailey
OF Danville.
The bill proposes to regulate the
speed and operation of all automobiles,
motorcycle and other motor vehicles
upon public highways. Within the
municipal limits of cities and villages
the speed maximum is fixed at eight
miles an hour. Outside the municipal
limits the speed maximum is 20
miles under any circumstances.
RIGHT TO HALF ROAD.
A new feature of the speed regulat-
ing bills is the provision that motors
have the right to one-half the road
and other vehicles must grant that
half, but upon signal from a non-auto
vehicle the auto must slow down to six
miles an hour or stop.
To drive motors while intoxicated is
made a misdeameanor. Violation for
the first offense of speed regulation
is a fine of $50; 800 for Che second,
and 5000 for the third.
The bill was referred to the railroads
committee, of which Senator Bailey is
chairman.

SEEKS MORE FACTS.
AS the result of yesterdays evidence
Mr.. Dodsworth's brother. John W.
Dodsworth, the editor of the Journal OF
Commerce. will be recalled to Wash
ington to explain why he failed to en-
tighten the committee during his re-
cent testimony.
The witness said that his paper new
er had been subsidized by any inter
ests whatever, and its business and edi-
tor1al columns had no relation. But he
testified about six years ago a man
came into his office and offered to pay
the Journal OF Commerce 800, 900. TAX
ing 100000 copies of his paper for
the insertion of an article in one issue
supporting the ship subsidy legislation.
This man refused to disclose his
identity unless his proposition was to
be accepted. His proposition was, in
the event Of acceptance. to make out
a certified check Immediately for $10,-
900 to bind the agreement and to pay
the 100000. upon publication of the
article.
CALLED BROTHER.
Mr.. Dodsworth said he Immediately
called his brother, John w, into his
office as witness to the conversation
and the proposition was turned down
as an attempt to make an improper
That however, was only one such
event. Pressed by the committee, Mr.
Dodsworth said that 80 years ago his
father was sitting in his office, the
same publication, and John Roach, the
who was then building
ships and active for a ship subsidy
bill. entered the office, laid down a
blank check, and asked the elder Dods-
worth to fill out the check and stop
writing against ship subsidy. This Of
fer was refused.
Another man, about two years ago,
Mr.. Dodsworth said, tried to buy the
support of the paper for $4,000, and
during the Spanish-American war the
Spanish government tried to buy the
papers influence.

NOW FOR THE
BIG FIGHT
Hot Campaign Expected TO Pre-
Cede the General Election.
State Convention Sept. 7.

With the primary over the party man
ayers will now settle down and make
their plans for the general campaign,
which in all probability, will be one Of
the hottest and most interesting in the
State for number of years.
National as well as State issues will
be injected into the fight, as this will be
a forerunner of the campaign of 1912,
when President is to be elected.
The State conventions of both parties
will meet in Baltimore on September I
and formally nominate the candidates
and draft the platform. As far as the
candidates are concerned it WILDE ''cut
and dried" affair. the people having Sc
lected by their votes all of the nomi-
nees. OF course, brilliant speeches will
be made at each convention by men
noted for their oratory.
The principal work before the gath
erings will be the drafting of the plat
forms. 1t is upon these documents that
the candidates will wage their cam
paigns, and particular care will be paid
W eHc NiiNtSbb plains ttiot VIII pS
placed in them.
Naturally the wishes Of the Guberna-
torial candidates will be complied with
in the drafting of the platforms. In the
past the conventions have selected the
State Central Committee. but under the
new law the members of these commit
tees are elected by the people.
The Democratic convention will elect
chairman of the committee. Mr.. John
B. Hanna. chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, was recently
reelected for two years.
Under the law each convention has
the power to name a State governing
committee. Such a committee would
only have the power to manage gen
eral State campaign.
Neither side. it is believed, will open
its campaign of speechmaking or begin
the distribution of literature until the
end of September. The general election
will not be held until November Z, and
ii is expected that both sides will make
campaign of about six weeks.
At the November election new
House OF Delegates and one-half of the
membership of the State Senate will be
elected. Many county officials will be
chosen throughout the State as will a
number of city officers in Baltimore
The State officers, besides the Governor.
to be elected are the Acknowledgement
and Comptroller.
