Lawrence Gazette: Whether the
crowd that met Colonel Roosevelt
at the depot Saturday evening was
merely upholding the traditions Of
Lawrence, or whether 1t was struck
with stage fright IN seeing him,
perhaps no one can definitely de-
termine. But whatever may have
been the cause, the stiffness of the
grave greeted the short speech made
by the progressive presidential can
didate when he spoke briefly from
the rear OF his private coach to the
crowd that he'd assembled to see
him. AS he appeared there was "a
cry of Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, :"
given Just once, the echo of which
hardly carried the length of the
train. After that there was not q
sound save from the mouth of the
speaker. Not a cheer, not hand
clap, nor a word either of approval
or condemnation greeted the speech
from beginning to end. And when
the engine came slowly up and
hitched to the car to run 1t back into
the yards not person clapped his
hands, not one made sound or
hail or goodbye. Silently as 1t had
come the crowd scattered and went
slowly back to the depot, each ask
ing the other what was the matter
with the welcome. Frankly, the
Gazette does not know.

sherman for several weeks past, but
delayed action for the sole purpose
of giving anybody in Kansas an OPP
portunity to bring such test case.
That the learned lawyers who first
took issue with him, finally adopted
his view Of the law is evidenced by
the fact. that they have finally, one
and all, advised against bringing the
suit.
The attorney general offered 20
waive all questions as to the right
of the Roosevelt electors or any pri-
vate citizen to bring such q suit,
and have the court pass squapely
upon the merits OF the case as to
whether or not the supreme court
would hold that the Watson decision
is still the law in Kansas. But the
Roosevelt attorneys thought it was
MT worth while.

from earth one of It's real n0blemen.
Those who knew him in the old days

intendent. he had large place in
the activities of this county remem-
Der him for his courage. his good
cheer, his helpfulness. Never was
there other than smile for friend
or acquaintance and the care and
ability with which he performed ev-
cry public service was evidence Of
the strong character that animated
his life. Entering the ministry he
made more than usual success. He
was loved by his congregations and
esteemed by the communities in
which he served. Running through
his life was an ever-flowing spirit
of good will and 1t shed its light on
all with whom he came in contact.
The world needs more such preachers
as he--for he was more than a
preacher, he was big hearted Amer
lean gentleman whose influence was
uplifting in every sphere Of Ais
earthly life.

SESSIONS HAD NO DISCRETION.

After a careful examination OF
the law Chairman Dolley Of the Re-
publican state committee advised the
Roosevelt electors that the law made
IL mandatory upon the secretary OF
state to certify out the names OF
Taft and Sherman as the candidates
for president and vice president on
the Republican ticket and that 1t
was useless to bring suit to test
the question again. This same con-
clusion was reached by Secretary of
state Chas. H. Sessions and Attor-
ney General John s. Dawson.
This identical question has already
been decided by the Kansas supreme
court in the case Of the Populist can
didate for vice president in 1895.
when Mr.. Thomas 3. Watson OF
Georgia learned that the Kansas
electors nominated by his own party
would vote for Arthur Sewell OF
Maine, the Democratic nominee for
vice president he requested the sec
rotary of state to keep his name off
the ballot because It would work 9
fraud and Misrepresentation on the
voters. The secretary OF state agreed
to do 1t. But the supreme court Isl
sued d writ OF mandamus compel
ling the secretary Of state to certify
out the name Of Mr.. Watson even
over the protest Of Mr.. Watson him
self.
The facts in the present case are
these: There are now, and for sew
eral weeks past have been, on file
ii the secretary's office, three GER
tificates duly executed by the con-
yention officers Of the three poll
ticaI parties--the Republican, DEM
ocratic and Socialist. The Republic
can certificate shows that Taft and
Sherman are the Republican nom
inees; the Democratic certificate
shows that Wilson and Marshall are
the Democratic nominees; and the
Socialist certificate shows that Debs
and Seidel are its nominees.
No certificate or other notice has
been filed in that office on behalf
OF any other person claiming either
the Republican, Democratic or So
cialist nominations for president and
vice president.
The Kansas supreme court in the
watson case said: "A certificate Of
nomination is the guide to the sec
rotary of state, and he should fol-
low it in giving direction to the
county cleks as to the making up
90 the official ballot We think It
plain that he has no right to omit
the party appelation, nor the names
Of the presidential and Vice presiden-
tial candidates added to the party
appellation by the authority Of law
and properly appearing in the GER
tifieate."
The secretary Of state Is mere
ministerial officer and not q censor
Of political parties nor a guardian
Of public morals, and that even the
court itself could not pass judgment
upon the motive which actuate q
political party for that Is not juris-
prudence. but politics. That Is the
law a. Il stands today.
