Senator La Toilette as presidential
candidate has committed suicide, with his
tongue; at least, that is the opinion of
Don C. Seitz of the New York World,
who acted as POSTMASTER at the banquet
of the Periodical Publishers association
in Philadelphia February I'd. Senator
La Toilette began his speech near mid
night and spoke for nearly two hours.
The diners We're visibly wearied by the
org drawn out remarks of the Wiscon-
sin Senator and towards the close fire.
Quently interrupted him. Much Of his
speech was devoted to the money power
ard an attack upon the sincerity of the
newspaper press. When he had finished
POSTMASTER Seitz said: II shall not at
tempt. nor have the time, to come to the
defense of the newspapers of the coun-
try, which have just been foollshly,
wickedly and untruthfully assailed." In
an interview after the banquet Mr.. Seitz
said:
LAS the banquet was given by the
magazine publishers, and as | was guest
of Cyrus II. K. Curtis, president of the
association, had to be cautious in my
remarks on Senator La Toilette. l dom

tor had finished, but do remember de-
claring that he had made an unkind, I'M
just and wilfuly malicious attack on the
newspapers of the nation, and if | had
more time | would have said something
stronger on the subject.

FOR HOURS OVER
L.R. AMENDMENT
SUPREME COURT ROOM AT TAI
LAHAssEE SCENE OF SPIRITED
DEBATES FOR SIX HoURs-DE-
cIsioN EXPECTED IN A FEW
DAYS.

Tallahassee, Oct. 15-From 1000
o'clock this morning until 4:45 O'Clock
this afternoon, with only the luncheon
intermission. oral arguments in the
initiative and referendum suit OF the
governor versus the secretary Of state
were heard by the supreme court.
The attorney general opened the ar
gument and summed up the case af-
ter Attorneys Finlayson. Clarke and
F1ournoy had spoken Attorney Cen
eral Trammell argued that the article
of the constitution providing for Its
amendment was separate and apart
from the legislative article; that its
requirements were fully met when,
after the house had proposed the
amendment, both the house and SEN
ate had agreed to 1t by a three
fourths vote and 1t was spread on
the journals.
He questioned that the senate ever
reconsidered the vote and II the SEN
ate journals attempted to show such.
he questioned that a measure requir-
ing a three -fifths vote to pass could
be reconsidered by a bare majority.
Attorneys for the governor spoke
of the proposed amendment as spur
ious and not legitimate and contend
ed that the senate had a constitution
al right to determine its own rules.
AGREE TO FILE RULES.
At one point in argument the ques-
ton of the rules of the senate was
brought up end the court suggested
that the senate rules be filed with the
briefs Both sides agreed to that.
Senator Ffnlayson cited that con-
gress could recall bill passed even
after 1t had been sent to the presi-
dent. The attorney general cited the
election Of a United States senator,
which was a distinct function of the
Legislature and asked IL 1t would be
permissible to reconsider the election.
DECISION EXPECTED SOON.
Numerous cases supposed TO be in
point were cited by both sides and the
parliamentary law brought in was ex
haustive A question by Justice Hook
er during the hearing suggested that
the question was simply whether the
proposed amendment was in accord
ance with the constitution or revolu-
tionary.
Attorneys will file briefs tomorrow
morning and court will probably rem
der a decision in the next two or
three days. The court permitted the
arguments to go into the merits Of
