Case Now Before Supreme
Court as an Emergency
Action

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The Kansas
primary election case, which involves
q unique point Of great Importance. In
the machinery Of national elections
was laid before the justices Of the
United States supreme court here.
Directly or indirectly the decision
Of these Justices will settle whether
eight candidates for presidential cleo
tors who have declared they will vote
in the electoral college for Roosevelt
may have their names on the ballots
to be submitted to the people Of Kan
sas at the Republican primary elec-
ton, Aug. 6.
An emergency action by the court
is necessary so the primary ballots
may be printed in time for the cleo.
ton. The action hich takes the
form of an application for q writ Of
error, is defended by several attor-
neys representing the Roosevelt
party, including Rep. F. S. Jackson Of
Topeka, q Republican. Olmsted Of
Pennsylvania appears for the appli,
cants.
The question at issue Is a broad
one. Th eTaft leaders declare the
eight electors they are trying to keep
off the ticket were designated with
the understanding that they would
abide by the decision of the Republi-
can national convention and that If a
statewide primary elected them, the
result would be contrary to the four
teenth amendment of the federal con
stitution, which forbids any state to
interfere with the freedom and priv
leges of citizens of the United States.
The Roosevelt people contend the
voters Of Kansas should have the
right Of referendum on the decision
Of the national convention. The Kan
sas law Is the only n which would
permit such a referendum.

hess of its conclusion than the first in the series of five which, apparently abandoning all the traditions of the party, put Horace Greeley at the head of the ticket in 1872. But the sequel showed that it was working for the party's revivification.
 In spite of it's sensational sequel, the Tilden convention in 1876 was of less moment as a history maker for the party. His candidacy merely re-en- forced the army which that of Greeley had called. into the field. The inde- pendent element Greeley had started had grown large enough to assert it. self. The famous editors candidacy had made politics more than a war memory. It had buried the bloody shirt" It had lifted the electorate out of the dead past into the living pres ent. It had brought them again into something like touch with the newer issues of the hour, and Tilden came to show them what they were.
 Just as the Tilden convention gave the lie to the tradition that failure of the support of his own state is fatal to the hopes of a candidate, so Cleveland gained the nomination in 1884 against the opposition of his home delegation. The ground swell for him over the rest of the country made the antagonism of the New York machine of little mo- ment in the sequel. The independent element that Greeley's nomination had detached from the Republican party had grown into an overwhelming army
 In marked contrast with the conven- tion which put Cleveland afield for the first time was that which, in the same city-in the same building indeed placed the party's standard in the hands of William J. Bryan in 1896.
 This later gathering was a mad riot of noise and spectacle. The culmina- ton came by what had the aspect of prearrangement, when, from all sides of the hall shouts of Bryan, Bryan" began to fill the air. To the conserva- tives in the throng it was a note of alarm.
 But the "cross of gold and the crown of thorns" won.

cessiye prices result in a large measure from the high tariff laws enacted and maintained by the Republican party and from trusts and commercal conspiracies fostered and encouraged by such laws, and we assert that no substantial relief can be secured for the people until import duties on the necessaries of life are ma terially reduced and these criminal con spiracies broken up.
 Antitrust Law.
 We favor the declaration by law of the conditions upon which corporations shall be permitted to engage in interstate trade, including, among others, the pre- vention of holding companies of inter locking directors, of stock watering, of discrimination in price and the control by any one corporation of so large a propor- ton of any industry as to make 1t a menace to competitive conditions.
 We regret that the Sherman antitrust law has received Judicial construction depriving it of much of its efficacy, and we favor the enactment of legislation which will restore to the statute the strength of which 1t has been deprived by such interpretation.
 Rights of the States.
 We believe in the preservation and maintenance in their full strength and integrity of the three coordinate branches oI lhe Ledsfdi EoNeFhhleht-thS eAeSu- tive, the legislative and the Judicial--each keeping within its own bounds and not encroaching upon the just powers of either of the others.
 Believing that the most efficient results under our system of government are to be attained by the full exercise by the states of their reserved sovereign powers. we denounce as usurpation the efforts of our opponents to deprive the states of any Of the rights reserved to them and to en- large and magnify by indirection the pow CTS of the federal government.

people to politics has disappeared. Any platform and any candidate not conform ing to this vast social and commercial be- hest will go down to ignominious defeat at the polls. Platforms are too often mere historic rubbish heaps of broken promises. Candidates are too frequently the unfortunate creatures of arrange ments and calculations. Exigencies, con- ditions, national needs and necessities make better platforms and produce great CT leaders than does the exercise of pro- prietorship. A disregard of this first pre- mise will bring our dreams crashing in ruins next November. .l .H...... .-. ..-. .s nr The Ideal Candidate.
 Similar necessities, motives and causes impel all men alike. The same necessi- ties motives and causes which draw, as by omnipotence, substantially all New Jersey about this great and good man are identically the same necessities, motives and causes that are in resistless motion in every state in the Union. Its solidarity cannot be disintegrated. False argument falls broken against 1t. A revolution of intelligent and patriotic millions is the expression of these necessities. motives and causes. Therefore New Jersey argues that Woodrow Wilson is the only candi- date who can not only make Democratic success certainty, but secure the elector- al vote of almost every state in the Un- ion. New Jersey will indorse his nomina- ton by a majority of 100000 of her Eber- ated citizens. We are not building for day or even a generation, but for all time.

Connecticut western news., 1912-07-04

Baltimore, July 3.-Politically speak ing, Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey put one over And he carried Governor Marshall of Indiana with him.
 This is how he did it: First it was getting too hot as president of Prince ton in many ways. Every alumnus knows that. Politics opened her arms to him. Mir. Wilson was not a prac- tical politician, but he plunged. New Jersey elected him governor by a big plurality. He was a winning cam paigner. Those wise to inside poli- ties said he was being trained for the Democratic presidential nomination. He was. But trouble arose with his packers. Governor Wilson went right ahead. He made his primary fight and the most remarkable Democratic con- vention on record ratified him. He put one over on the conservatives, on the old guard.
 Wilson raised the progressive stand ard when he ran for governor tn New Jersey, and he won. He did the iden- tical same thing for the higher nom ination, and he won. He had -Bryan's help. Tammany was against him.
 But the defeat of Champ Clark, speaker of the house, was not attained without deadlock struggle, which car ried the sessions of the convention into the second week. It required forty-six ballots to nominate. This beat the rec ord for a continuous session. The near est to it was the convention of 1868, which nominated Seymour on the twen- ty-second ballot. The convention of 1860 took fifty-seven ballots at Charles ton without choice, and the conven- ton nominated Douglas later at Balti- more.
 The present convention makes the fifth of five great Democratic conven ton.
 Perhaps no convention the party has ever held was more reviled and con demned or more ridiculed for the lame.

THE PLATFORM.
Principal Democratic Plank Is the Tariff-GeneraIly Progressive.

Principal Democratic Plank Is the
 Tariff-GeneraIIy, Progressive.
 Baltimore, July 8. - The platform adopted by the Democratic national convention. was as follows:
 We declare 1t to be a fundamental prin- ciple of the Democratic party that the federal government under the constitu- ton has no right or power to impose or collect tariff duties except for the pur- pose of revenue, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of government honestly and economically administered.
 The high Republican tariff Is the prin- cipal cause of the unequal distribution of wealth; 1t is a system Of taxation which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer; under its operations the American farmer and laboring men are the chief sufferers; it raises the cost of the necessaries of life to them but does not protect their prod uct or wages.
 The farmer sells largely in free markets and buys almost entirely in the protected markets In the most highly protected in- dustries, such as, cotton and wool, steel and iron, the wages of the laborers are the lowest paid in any of our industries. We denounce the Republican pretense on that subject and assert that American wages are established by competitive con .ditions and not by the tarifr., ..,
 Demand Revision of Tariff.
 We favor the immediate downward re- vision of the existing high and in many cases prohibttive tsrin duties, insisting that material reductions be speedily made upon the necessaries of life. Articles en- tering into competition with trust con trolled products and articles of American manufacture which are sold abroad move cheaply than at home should be put upon the free list.
 We recognize that our system of tariff taxation is intimately connected with the business of the country, and we favor the ultimate attainment of the principles we advocate by legislation that will not in jure or destroy legitimate industry.
 We denounce the action of President Taft in vetoing the bills to reduce the tariff in the cotton, woolen, metals and chemical schedules and the farmers free list bill, all of which were designed to give immediate relief to the masses from the eXacttons of the trusts.
 The high cost of living is a serious problem in every American home. The Republican party in its platform attempts to escape from responsibility for present conditions by denying that they are due to a protective tariff. We take issue with them on this subject and charge that eK-

The New Jersey delegation Is not empowered to exercise the attributes of proprietorship, but Is commissioned to represent the great cause of Democracy and to offer you its militant and tri- umphant leader a scholar not a charla- tan; statesman not doctrinaire; pro- found lawyer, not splitter of legal hairs; political economist, not an egotistical theorist; a practical politician, who con structs, modif1es,' restraints without dis turbance and destruction; a resfstless de- batter and consummate ma 5ter of state ment, not a mere phrasemaker; humani- tartan, not a defamer of characters and lives; man whose mind is at once cos mopolitan and composite Of America; a gentleman of unpretentious habits, with | the fear of God in his heart and the love of mankind exhibited in every act of his life; above all, public servant who has been tried to the uttermost and never found wanting-peerless, matchless, un- conquerable Woodrow Wilson.
 Dreams Crashing in Ruins.
 New Jersey has reasons for her course Let us not be deceived in our premises Campaigns of vilifcation corruption and false pretense have lost their usefulness The evolution of national energy is toward more intelligent morality in politics and in all other citations. The line of cleavage is between those who treat politics as game and those who regard it as the seri- Ous business of government.
