NEWSPAPER. LAW
WILL Be TESTED
l.. -
Publicity Freak Must be
Passed Upon by Courts
Suit Filed.

New York, Oct. 10.-suit to test

force the federal law of Aug. "a. 1912.

merce, Mr.. M0frls said in Ming its
operation Of the association.
The petition alleges that there are
upwards Of $4,000 newspapers and
periodicals in the country affected by
the law. It charges that the law Is
void because it violates the constitu-
ton of the United States and par
ticularly the first and flfth amend
ments, and abridges the freedom of
the press. The law is characterized
as Of no benefit to the postoffice or
any other department Of the govern

postofflce department or in the carry
Ing Of the mails or the regulation

nounces that It will not comply with

Baltimore. Nd. Oct. 10.-Political
sentiment in Maryland has undergone
but little change in the last week. The
general impression among men who
are watching the campaign from an
unbiased viewpoint is that Governor
Wilson will carry the state with q
majority Of from 5000 to 10000
votes, That, besides a majority OF
the popular vote. Mr.. Wilson will like
ly receive seven Of the eight electoral
votes from the state Is generally con-
ceded. This concession is based upon
the indications that fve OF the si1
democratic candidates for representa-
tives are almost sure Of election. The
present United States senator's from
the state ore democratic.
The bull moose party. which during
the primaries in the state was very
active, seems to be losing ground. and
sentiment for Colonel Roosevelt ap.
pears to be on the wane. This change
ia particularly evident in the Sixth
congressional district OF the state
where Colonel Roosevelt polled q
large majority In the primaries. II
was his strength in this district that
enabled him to overcome his defeat
president Taft. A number Of the bull
moose primary followers have declar-
ed themselves 70 rMr. Taft. giving
the reason that while they supported
Roosevelt in the primaries. they are
republicans and will support the par
ty nominee
Republicans Take Heart.
With the decline Of the bull moose
strength the republicans have taken
heart, and from now on will under
take an open and vigorous campaign
in the state.
Beyond the actual naming Of can.
didates in the different congressiona!
districts. the inactivity on the part OF
ali OF the parties In the neld is no.
ticeable. A number Of political stu
dents in this city have remarked that
the quietness was due TO the fact
that the state is practically conceded
to Mr.. Wilson. and that the opposing
parties have no heart In the aght.
The First congressional district is
the only one In which there is bull
moose candidate for representative.

The tragedy occurred In the heart

For several weeks Kellerman had
oeen tmportuning the girl and her
motner. Mrs Mary Maydower. Sew
eral times he had threatened to kill
tne girl unless she agreed to marry
MIN. After these outbursts he usual
" became repentant and begged MRS,
Maydower to allow him to call at the
house, saying that he would not again
insist upon the girl mrrying him. He
said that he only wanted to be near
her SO. that he could admire her.

He put the basket down near q table
In the living roomfi which is also used
as kitchen. and insisted upon Mrs.
Mayfower and her daughter drinking

Kellerman as he gulped down the
beer. II you do not agree to it you

Democrats Have Hopes of Carrying

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Oct. 10.-With
many republicans focking to the bull
moose standard and with an unknown
number Of democrats who favored
Champ Clark for the presidency still
sulking in their tents. the presidential
race in South Dakota still remains a
puzzle.
About the only thing that seems
reasonably certain now ts that it Will
be neck and neck race between Col.
Roosevelt and Gov. Wilson. with the
straw votes and other indications IA
voring the democratic nominee. Presi-
dent Taft seems to be out Of the run
ming.
Surface indications are that the La
Toilette republicans hold the balance
Of power. II looks now as though a
large percentage Of them would go to
the democratic nominee. and that he
would get a good quota OF the rock.
ribbed republicans. who recognize that
their man has no show. Some Of these
republicans are making an active cam
paign for Gov. Wilson.
Straw votes. taken In Aberdeen and
Sioux Falls. which are far apart. are
distinctly favorable to the democrats.
At Aberdeen the division was 81 for
Wilson. lS for Taft and II for the
bull moose. At Sioux Falls Mr.. Will
son had 32. the bull moose 9. and Taft
3. The rural communities probably
would give a better Roosevelt show

Four years ago President Taft re-
ceived $1,000 votes to +o.zoo for

ton among the regular republicans. a
formidable factor in his favor. Gov.
Wilson's chances Of winning would
seem to depend on whether the dis
gruntled Champ Clark democrats will
return to the party fold.
