San Francisco, Oct. 3.-The 10
Roosevelt presidential electors will go
upon the November ballot as the cleo
tors of the Republican party, and the
1S by the bolting Taft minority at the
Sacramento convention will not go on,
so that the Taft voters will be with
out a candidate Such is the effect Of
the unanimous decision by the state
supreme court today sustaining the de-
murrer of Attorney-General U. s.
Webb to the application by the Taft
ties for a permanent writ of mandate
to compel Secretary Of State Frank
Jordan to designate the Taft 1S as Re
publicans and leave off the Roosevelt
10.
The decision was given by Chief
Justice Beatty Immediately after clos
of argument between Acknowledgement
Webb on one side and former Mayor
Rose, of Milwaukee, and Attorney
Cleyburg on the other.
Primary Law Is Bad.
"rhe primary law Is a bad law he
said. at disfranchises one-third Of the
voters OF the state, and disfranchises
the Democrats of six senatorial dis
tricts and Republicans of IA. The
law ought not to have been passed.
But 1t is the law and this court must
be bound by It,"
There was no attack on constitu-
tionality OF the law by the Taftites in
their petition.
Attorney-General Webb's strongest
point was that the federal constitution
gave the legislature absolute power to
prescribe the manner of choosing cleo
tors, and there was nothing to bind
these electors to vote for any candi-
date.
"If the legislature passed law that
only the electors Of Modoc county
had the right to select the electors to
vote for president the law would have
been observed" said Justice Angelot'
ii, and the others concurred.
The Law Settled II.
The court ruled that the California

Governor West today officially par
doned w. r. Foote, of Coquille, and
tonight he will return to the bosom of
his family a free man.
Foote was convicted and sentenced
to term of from one to Is years in
the penitentiary for killing Charles
Wilcox, who had ruined two Of his
daughters, and attempted to ruin the
third. When he learned Of the ruin
Of the first, he tried to get Wilcox
indicted. When he learned Of the ruin
of the second he tried again, and
again failed. When his wife, with
tears in her eyes, came and told of
Wilcox attempting to ruin the third,
he ignored the law, which had refused
to protect him, and, taking down his
trusty rifle, shot and killed Wilcox.
At the first trial Of Foote the jury
disagreed, and at the second he plead
ed guilty to manslaughter. Hardly
had the judge imposed sentence before
petitions were on their way, asking
for the pardon of Foote, and the gov
ernor acted favorably on the case to-
day.
Foote, though brought to the peni-
tentiary a week or more ago, was new
er officially incarcerated, being placed
in the custody Of the prison officials.

state law prescribed what constituted
a Republican, and that the action Of
the national Republican party had
nothing to do with 1t. The test Of a
Republican was merely that he regis.
tered as such and that If he ran for
office that he certify his candidacy as
a Republican.
The petitioners had maintained that
the 81 Bull Moosers in the state con-
vention ceased to be Republicans
when they renounced the national Re-
publican platform.
The court held that this was a polit-
ieal question and not one within the
jurisdiction of the court. The court
could not attempt to harmonize polit.

Attorney Rose made the statement
that he had never heard of such pri-
mary law In any other state and JUS
tice Beatty said he never would hear
of similar one Rose likened the
Republican party to the Presbyterian
church and cited a decision OF the
court that when one branch OF the
church seceeded 1t could not use the
name of the parent church.
In the course of his decision Justice
Beatty defined the difference as he
saw 1t between the Republicans and
Roosevelters. He said the latter
wanted to form a pure democracy out
of the country in opposition to the
theory of representative government.
