ELECTORAL SNARL.
Conditions Which May Give Republic
an Ballot Column to T. r.

San Francisco, June pa peculiar
situation has arisen in California re-
garding the election of members of
the electoral college. Under the pri-
mary law in effect in this state the
nominees Of the various parties TO the
state Legislature, together with the hold
over senators, will meet on Oct. to
nominate the party candidate for the
electoral college, but the name of the
presidential nominee will not appear
on the ballot in November.
In California, with the Republican
political machinery dominated at pres
ent by Theodore Roosevelt's support
ers, the electors nominated by the state
senators and assemblymen may easily
be Roosevelt men who would secure
the regular Republican column on the
ballot submitted to the voters in No
vember. In that event, if the support
ers of the president placed an electoral
ticket in the field, they probably would
have to do so by petition.

BASE BALL NEWS

I'm glad Carbondale won, it only
makes the series more interesting"
said one confident fan" after Satur-
days game, which Carbondale won
by score of 6 to 3. But If DOC"
Whalen pitches like he did Saturday
and the homo team don't tighten up
little, we are not so confident.
Whalen, the Carbondale pitcher, who
by the way Is Scranton man, had
the Honesdale batters completely at
his mercy, and we should not have
had a run but for errors by his team
mates. Honesdale got only three
hits and two of them were scratchy.
Hessing pitched in his old-time
form, having Carbondale shut out up
to the sixth inning, but Ben"
couldn't do it all, and beside has not
had work OUT enough this year,
and weakened, so that Carbondale
made two runs in that inning on 2
two baggers by Whalen and Carol
and a single by Fee, and three more
in the next inning when Farrell open
ed with a single and took third on
Mangan's heave to the bleachers of
Finnegan's liner; Finnegan stole sec
ond and both came home on Whal-
ems single; Whalen stole and count
ed the third run of the inning on
Carols single. They scored their
sixth and last in the eighth on two
singles and a passed ball.
In the fourth, with three men on
bases, Hessling forced Fee to ground
a slow one to W. Polt and struck out
| Barrett, allowing no runs.
Schilling scored Honesdale's first
run in the second by some fast work
on the paths. He got a walk, stole
both second and third and came home
on a wild pitch. We scored two
more in the third on a Texas Lacquer
| by Curtis errors by Farrell and
| Walsh and Hessling's sacrifice.
Carbondale certainly has the max
| ing of a good team and we will tip
our hats for the time being to Man
ager Nick Murtha, but as Pop Hess

Zette praised ROosevelt's action in
launching a new party in the United
States, saying:
"There is every reason to believe that
the future will justify the action Of
Roosevelt and his friends. The division
of American politics into the Republic
an and Democratic parties is doomed
because it has developed a system
which is cynical, perfunctory and
largely corrupt.

7. R. SURE TO RUN
Not to Be Influenced by
Baltimore Action.
HIS COMMITTEE IS NAMED.
Problem Of Building Up New Party
Overnight Beset With Difficulties.
Even Senator Root Admits That
Question Is knotty One.

New York, June 25-Colonel Roose-
welt arrived here from Chicago early
today, having left Chicago on the
Twentieth Century Limited. Before he
left Chicago Colonel Roosevelt said:
"My position will not be Influenced
by any action Of the Baltimore conven-
ton. l will not depart from what l
said Saturday night. l shall accept the
progressive nomination on a progress
sive platform, and shall fight the bat
tie through to the end"
Colonel Roosevelt changed his mind
about giving out the names Of the men
already selected to undertake the or
ganiZation of his new party and de-
cided to make them public along with
his statement.
The committee as now instituted
consists of Governor Hiram Johnson of
California, Clifford Pinchot, James X.
Garfield of Ohio, Senator Moses E.
Clapp of Minnesota, Senator Dixon of
Montana, Senator Miles Poindexter of
Washington, Governor c. Aldrich of
Nebraska, Governor V. II. Nessey of
South Dakota, A. Van Valkenberg of
the Philadelphia North American,
Colonel w. X. Nelson of the Kansas
City Star, Richmond Pearson of North
Carolina, Comptroller William A. Prem
dergast Of New York, William Allen
White of Kansas, Judge Ben Lindsey
the only Democrat so far selected: Mat.
thew Hale of Massachusetts, George

Thompson of Vermont and E. G. Car.

New Party Difficulties.
This is to he called the committe on
organization. 1t is not complete. II
is known that Colonel Roosevelt will
get into communication at once with
prominent progressives. and such OF
them that care to join his banner will
be added to the list Of organization
committee. The Democratic progres.
sive wing is not expected to declare
itself until after the Baltimore conven
ton.
1t was admitted on both sides that
this problem Of building up a new
party overnight bristles with diff.
culties in which legal complications
play great part. The problem of pre-
electors is essentially legal one fol
| example.
Both the Roosevelt and Taft leaders
have given this problem of the electors
great deal Of thought since the Or
chestra hall meeting. The Taft leaders
including Senators Root, Crane and
Penrose, have gone over it at some
length. One o; those who were pres
ent at this talk said that none of the
lawyers seemed to be of the same
opinion on any one point, even Senator
Root admitting that the matter was q
knOtty one.

WORLD OF HIS OWN CREATION
Great French Writer In His Absent
Mindedness Lived Far Apart From
His Fellow Mon.

A writer in the st. James Gazette
tells us that Theophile Gautier's alb
sent-mindedness amounted to actual
somnambulism. He SO identified him
self with his mental pictures as to
lose all consciousness of time and
place. and for the time he would actu-
ally live in the scene that he had Gre
ated. We are told that rarely, II ever,
has a man had such a gift for getting
out Of himself. He would enlarge on
his magnificent golden tea and break
fast service, when the most humdrum
china lined his shelves. And though
his servants were all treated In the
most fatherly way, Gautier would tell
you that he never permitted them to
utter a word in his presence, that ne
only employed negroes. II give my
orders by signs. If they understand
my signs, we'll and good. II they don't,
I kick them into the Bosphorus." And
there Is no doubt that he actually
heard the wave closing over the head
of a black slave. He actually meant
what he said. The street outside was
actually for him the Bosphorus.

TELLS ABOUT
PARISH HOUSE
OAK SQUABBLt

An epistle was received from Sec
rotary wand, of the Parish House
basketball team, of Woodbridge, In
regard to the Oak-Parish House fray
which ended In a fistic encounter.
Here is the communication.
"SPORTING EDITOR NEWS:
ut seems that some explanation
should be given in relation to the
day night. From the opinion given
by Referee Brown and several of the
adherents OF the Oaks, the blame is
cast entirely on the North Amboy
pivot man.
THE game was progressing IA
voraDIy as u boys were just finding
the basket when this unfortunate
incident occurred. Captain Pete
Campbell was playing the ball in a
difficult corner of the court when M.
J. Schiker rushed in to guard Pete.
After a few minutes of scrimmage.
Schiker backed away and deliberate
ly struck the Woodbridge leader a
blow in the face.
"Playing was stopped Immediately
and Manager Christie's proteges re-
fused to finish the game where rough
house tactics are tolerated.
"The Parish House is an intitu-
tion where clean playing is the by
word and any offender is politely re-
quested to leave the floor. In book
Ing the game, Manager Christie was
of the opinion that the Oak F. C.
were fit players for opponents. who
had been accustomed to clean envi-
ronments. The calibre of the ball
the North Amboy players displayed is
enough to 'blackball' them from
clean ranks.
at Is to be hoped that in the fu-
ture they will play for the sport
and not for the fight.
"a word In closing about the ref
cree, Mr.. Brown. He Is to be highly
congratulated on his impartiality and
knowledge of basketball. He certain
ly gave us a square deal.
Thanking you for the space. I re-
main,
"THOMAS WAND,
"Secretary, Parish House."
