Those that escaped without having to
go to the hospital were in the front
part of the bus.
Glover has Just been married
about eight months, and his young
wife tainted when she heard Of her
husbands condition, which was re-
ported much worse at first than it
really was. She required the SER

Aaron Hyde, OF 80 Amboy street,
Brooklyn, who was IN the bus, and
who is now seriously injured at the
hospital, told the coroner this morn
ing that the chauffeur stopped the
machine to ascertain whether there
was any danger, and then he started
out again after finding, as he thought
the track clear. He also stated that
he, himself, did not hear any whistle
or bell from the train. or the alarm
at the crossing.
Hyde was thrown about eighty
feet from the crossing and is now In
a precarious condition. He is sales
man and was working the suburban
places of Perth Amboy. He is about
twenty four years Of age. A. Levine,

The next morning he came out Of

Glover struck his forehead against
rock nearby and was otherwise
bruised. He was dazed at first, but
when he came to the ground looked
like battlefield, motionless bodies

elimination it is found which candi-
date is most acceptable. The votes
lost are those cast by supporters Of
G, D and E, who did not vote for one
of the two high men as second choice.
Half of the A men voted for their
friend E, but he was dropped out in
the first elimination because of his
low first choice vote, and the 100000
second choice votes thrown to him
by A men were wasted. The A men
were not deprived of chance to
vote, however, for their first choice
votes counted right up to the finish.
In passing, it should be noted that
voter cannot plump" his vote by
voting for the same man on both first
and second choice. If he does, the
tellers are to count his first choice
vote, but not the second.
Another illustration will serve to
show how even the third man on the
first choice vote might be nominated,
suppose the total vote worked out

An Error in Statement.

In the short biography of Judge
Stanton published in the Pioneer last
evening, it was stated that he was
first appointed to the bench in 1907
when new judgeship was created in
this district. The information was
taken from the 1911 Legislative
Manual but the book is in error as
Judge Stanton was first appointed in
April, 1908, to succeed Judge Spoon
er, resigned. Judge Stanton's second
appointment came when the third
judgeship was created by the legis-
lature of 1909.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1912-08-29

There is just one manner In which
the minority can be prevented from
controlling primary elections and
that is by registering second choice.
Where majority sentiment is divided
among several candidates, minority
sentiment will win unless majority
sentiment voters can state their Sec
ond choice as to candidates. There
is no theory about this. The, expert
ment has been worked out in other
states and the Second choice" pro-
vision was invented to protect the
majority.
