Mr.. Yazimoto purred his dissent.
The entire dossier of Esteral letters,

planned, were his. After he had per-
sued them, he would gladly slet his
old friend, the Baron Zollern, glance
through them. but for the present
time, though 1t desolated him to be
so selfish, he must insist upon the
first inspection of the papers, already
purchased from the honorable cap

Baron Zollern glowered and growled

letters, and that he, he alone, should
have first reading Of the missives.
Both men appealed to Juan Torrejon.

ELECTORS BY PETITION.

Election Commissioner Livingston
may be right in saying that the word
ing Of the state law does not provide
for the independent nomination OF
Presidential electors. The Tammany
election and primary laws are fearfuly
and wonderfully made, and it is quite
possible that the strict construction
OF their language in the light Of the
definitions of public offices" in other
statutes and in court decisions would
exclude recognition Of independent
electoral candidates. Mr.. LiyingstonS
point Is that nomination by petition Is
permitted only in the case of public
officers" that the public officers law
specifically excludes electors from the
category of state officers" and that
the courts have declared they were
not federal officers. Therefore, they
are not public officers at all, and no
legal authority exists for nominating
them by petition.
That is good logic chOppinC. But 1T
IS also sheer nonsense. The technical
ties Of q definition made for another
purpose, either In state law or 4
federal decision. cannot deprive the
people Of the inherent right to vote
for such electors as they choose. The
state law recognizes the electors as
public officers" so far rs to provide
for their popular electiOn-the Legis-
lature could choose them itself if it
pr>eferred-for their meeting and for
their compensation out Of the state
treasury. 1t requires candidates for
elector to file statements of election
expenses as if they were candidates
for public Office" Whether they are
technically public officers or not. ana
whether or not the election law
neglects through some slip to provide
for them. there can be no doubt that
the Court Of Appeals would sustain
nominations by petition if anybody
thought it worth while to contest the
matter. 1t has already gone far to
protect the inherent right Cf the voter
against unreasonable restrictions IN
urinary and election laws and against
lapses in these laws. The plain duty
of officials administering the election
law is 10 follow its obvious broad in
tent. which was TO give independents
fair chance TO 90 before the people
on any question at issue. Academic
students Of legal technicalities may
amuse themselves with the lapses and
inconsistencies of statutes. But as q
matter Of practical common sense
there is sufficient provision in the law
for the nomination Of electors for Mr..
Roosevelt or anybody else by petition.
and no sensible person would seriously
propose to Obstruct such procedure.
We note that some Of Mr.. ROose-
velt's followers are already getting
historical over Mr.. Livingston'S Opin-
ions and charging that they indicate a
Taft attempt at "thievery.' They need
not worry. It's all academic moon
shine. And we hope they will remem-
Der their moral indignation when Mr..
Roosevelts friends attempt to keep
Taft electors elsewhere from going be-
fore the voters unhampered by ballot
tricks and "thievery' Of the Republi-
can name and emblem.
