EX-SENATOR MASON
WILL BE CANDIDATE
Announces Position Should
Vacancy Exist.

Springfield. Ill, Feb. e0.-A Statewide
primary on candidates for United States
Senator in the event that Senator Lor-
liners seat should be declared vacant
is advocated by William f. Mason. The
former Senator from Illinois announced
here to-day that he will be a candi-
date for any vacancy that may occur,
and that should the present legislature
be faced with the task of electing a
successor for either seat, he will start
a movement to urge Gov. Deneen to call
a primary of thirty or sixty days dura-
ton.
Il shall be a candidate for any vacancy
that may arise" said Mr.. Mason to-
day Il was a candidate in the pri-
maries in 1905 and polled a good vote.
1 believe in primaries, and in case there
should be a vacancy l believe the only
way to fill it properly would be through
a special primary. 1t would be in direct
conformity with the sentiment for the
direct election of United States Senator,
and N my opinion, it would prove the
only way of heading off a deadlock in
the assembly

LABOR SUPPORTS
PLATE PRINTERS
Held that Hand Presses Work
Against COunterfeiters.

In pursuance Of the plate printers pro-
test against the threatened installation Of
power printing presses in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, P. ]. Ryan, of
the Central Labor Union. last evening put
himself on record with statement to the
effect that the union has taken its stand
on this question, and reiterates its state
ment regarding hand presses.
Mr. Ryan, who was the delegate sent to
the Chamber of Commerce with the for
NAL protest Of the organization, stated
he was in favor of hand presses for the
reason that the best interests of the gov
ernment would be preserved by their
continuation, inasmuch as better work
can be turned out on them, and the gov
ernment can be protected from counter
feiters only by producing the finest work
possible to the art.
On the formal reading of the report or
the Chamber of Commerce in relation to
this question a vote of thanks was eX-
tended to that body and to the majority
Of the committee, which voted in favor
of the old-style presses.
The Chamber of Commerce stated in
it's report that it found it impossible to
reach a decision. because to them II
seems to have a national rather than
purely local bearing.
AS yet no further action has been de-
cided upon by the Plate Printers Union
other than to approve the action mere
tofore taken.

VOTESIN THE HOUSE
MUST BE SPOKEN
Machines May Save Time, but
Are Unconstitutional.

There can be no voting by machinery
in the House of Representatives without
proper amendment of the rules of the
House to permit the innovation. 1t is
said TO be question as to whether
the Constitution of the United States
would not have to be given attention also,
as the yeas and nays which that revered
instrument provides shall be delivered
could hardly be spoken if successfully
recorded simultaneously by machinery.
These observations came yesterday
from Elliott Woods, superintendent of
the Capitol building and grounds, who
had just examined the latest scheme for
time saving in the House, and had turned
the ambitious inventor away with the
statement that the House did not care
to install a voting Contrivance, ,although
invited TO change its method Of roll
calls on an average of about ten times a
year. Up to the present, Mr.. Woods
explained, the House has decided to ad-
here to the Old-fashioned and Constitu-
tion-prescribed method of ascertaining
votes, and. indeed, it was doubtful wheth-
er it would be possible to do otherwise
without some effective legislation. Both
the rules of the House and the Constitu-
ton provide for yea and nay votes, and it
is held that this does not mean anything
but spoken votes.

DENVER IN THE FIELD
FOR 1912 CONVENTION
Invitation Extended to the Republicans, While Other
Cities Are Also Lining Up.

I'm the meantime we have the honor
to request your support for st. Louis
in the matter" continues the letter.
You will, we are sure, remember that
in 1896 the Business Mems League enter
tanned the Republican national conVen-
tion in St Louis, and compiled to the
letter with every provision of the agree
ment entered into between your .acom-
mittee and the Business Mems League
1t so happens that Denver and st. Louis
are the last two cities in which the DEM
ocratic conventions have been held. For
the convention of 1905 at which MIR.
Bryan was nominated, Denver backed its
appeal with a purse of 100000, every cent
of which was paid to the national COM
mittee. Presumably the Denverites stand
ready with some such offer for the Re-
publicans this year.
The national committee will meet in
Washington early next winter at the call
of Acting Chairman Hill. At this meet
ing the convention city will be determined
and the call issued for the election of
delegates.
1t is understood that Kansas City in
tends to make an endeavor TO become
the convention city of either the Republi-
cans or the Democrats next year.
The pot also is commencing to boil as
regards the Democratic convention. At
the recent Democratic harmony feast in
Baltimore former Senator Blackburn
sounded the slogan for Baltimore as the
next Democratic convention city. A dele
cation of Baltimore business men visited
Washington a few days later and COM
menced to arouse Baltimore sentiment
among the Senators and Representatives.

..HORIMER IS SAFE,
SAY HIS FRIENDS
Senator Will Retain Seat. Is
Now Freely Predicted.

Senator William Lorimer, of Illinois,
will retain his seat is the belief of the
knowing ones in the Senate. After
having allowed the opposition to expend
a good deal of its strength friends Of
the Chicago Senator came to the front
yesterday with a showing which they
say will retain for him his seat in the
Senate. Not since Senator Root, of New
York, fayed Senator Lorimer has mis-
chance of remaining in the Senate been
so good.
Representative William J. Moxley, Of
mer in the House, and sits by his side
in the Senate during the attacks which
have been made upon the legality of
his election, told a friend that Lorimer
will have fifty-three votes. The figures
of the men who have now taken up the
Lorlmer case in the Senate are a few
less than this number.
Senator LOrimer will speak in his own
defense tomorrow. Senator Beveridge.
of Indiana, has announced that he will
ask to have the case taken up to-day
and kept before the Senate until voted
upon. Whether he does this or not will
disclose the position to some extent Of
the opposition. II was said yesterday
that hereafter the urgent demand for
vote would come from the other side.
Those Senators who think Mr.. Lorimer
should be deprived OF his seat now ad-
nit that mistake was made by reason
Of the failure to make prompt reply to
the Bailey speech.
