|. R. GAINS POINT
IN KANSAS TANGLE
Names of His Followers Viii
Go on Ticket as
Electors.
A1From a statt corrs.pondent.l

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Colonel
Roosevelt gained a partial victory in
the Kansas electoral tangle, which
was threshed out before Justices Pit
ney and Van Deventer, Of the United
States Supreme Court.
The names of the eight electors who
promised to run on the Taft ticket
and yet vote for Roosevelt in the
Electoral College will stand on the
Kansas ballots at the primary cleo
ton next Tuesday. The justices, late
last night, after an all-day session,
announced their decision not to in
terfere in this election.
Taft Men Get Writ Of Error.
The Taft men, however, were VIC
torious in obtaining the writ of error
for which they applied.
So important did the justices con-
slider the case that they decided it
should be heard by the entire SUI
preme Court in the fall.
The dispute involves, for the first
time in the history of the country,
the question whether the United
States Supreme Court has jurisdiction
in the matter of choosing presidential
electors. 1t also brings in the ques-
ton of the right of electors to show
their personal preferences once they
have been elected.
May Reject t. r. Men.
If the Supreme Court finally de-
cides against the Roosevelt men, their
names Their may be stricken from the
official ballot in November.
sit is conceded" the justices said in
their opinion, that the questions are
important and of large public con-
Germ, and we have concluded that
those who present them are fairly en-
titled to the judgment of the court,
which, by the Constitution, is made
the final arbiter of all controversies
arising under that instrument. In
this situation we think the writ of
error should be allowed.
Application for the writ was made
by Representative Marlin E. Ohm
sted, of Pennsylvania.

NIECE FILES CAVEAT

vided that the house and lot at 73

~executriX during her life, and thai
upon her death it should become the
property of st. Joseph's Catholic
Church. Mrs. Rose c. Olvaney filed a
caveat against the instrument today
with the surrogate.
Mrs. Olvaney is a niece of the de-
ceased and asks that the Orphans
Court examine the case. Mr.. Devine
died on July 8. He also willed that

vided equally between his wife's two
nieces, Julia A.-Flynn and Mary A.

Col. Roosevelt, IN announcing his
candidacy for the presidency, said in
his letter to the governors that he
would accept the nomination if
offered to him as the result of a great
popular demand, the inference being
that he would make no effort of his
own in this direction. SO far as
noticed the delegates he will get have
to be fought for, tooth and nail, just
the same as those secured by other
candidates. The great popular up
rising in demand Of his candidacy
does not seem to have materialized, so
ne will now make speaking tour to
hunt it up.

Serious complications through the
provisions of the second choice feature
ct the election law have kept matters
ct a sizzling heat in Milwaukee
during the past ten days. The
socialist party. which is in control in
that city, is to be opposed by a nom
partisan ticket representing a
coalition of democrats and republi-
cans. There is a list of twenty four
names from which the voters in
Yesterdays primary we're to select the
six they favored as candidates for
delegates at large, The socialist city
clerk had one hundred thousand
ballots printed and it was alter dis.
covered that they were wrong and
would not permit of the second choice
vote as provided in the new election
law, so the court was appealed to and
ordered new ballots printed, which
required the printers to work days,
nights and Sunday and heaped up a
big bill Of expense on the city. The
socialist administration has proven an
expensive luxury for Milwaukee and
1t looks as though that party will be
very emphatically ousted at the
election Of April 3.

cost the state at least $50 600, QUO. If
such conditions exist in Iowa the
