SUPREME court HOLDS.
AGAINST ELECTORS
FOR ROOSEVELT
Names Cannot Go on Ballot at November
Election Candidates for State
Offices Certified Down
Capital News Special service)

Capital News Special Service)
Lewiston, Oct. 9.-The state supreme
court. in a decision handed down late
yesterday. held that the Progressive
candidates for state offices were en-
titled to have their names on the Off
cial ballot at the November election,
but that the candidates for presiden-
tial electors and congressman were not
so entitled. In accordance with this
decision the secretary OF state was
telegraphed to certify down the list
Of candidates for state officers alone.
The decision means that there will be
no Roosevelt electors on the ballot.
The final summing up in the supreme
court decision respecting Progressive
candidates, by the court is as follows:
After most careful and diligent
examination OF our statutes and the
authorities which have been cited we
are convinced that there now exists in
this state three methods OF nominat-
ing candidates for state offices.
First, by primary election for a
party nominating where the party cast
for any candidate on their ticket at
the last preceding election at least 10
per cent of the total vote cast for all

had long standing quarrel with Tur-
key over the boundary question, and
Turkeys refusal to grant satisfaction
was seized upon as the justification
for Montenegros call to arms
1t Is not doubted that though cooler
heads in Bulgaria have been against
the war from the start. popular ex-
citement is at such a high pitch that
the country will be driven to war to
satisfy public opinion.
In the failure Of Intervention, every
fiber Of energy will be exerted by the
great powers to prevent the war
flame from engulfing Europe. 1t is
realized that all depends on the atti-
tude of Austria. which. according to
late advices, has mobilized four army
corps--in Croatia. Bosnia. Herzegovina
and southern Hungary-and stands
ready to occupy the Sanjak OF Novi-
pazar should this coveted territory be
menaced by the Servians and Mon
tenegrins.
Despite Russian sympathy for their
Slav brothers Of the Balkans, whose
political welfare Russia has fostered,
no complications are anticipated be-
tween Russia and Austria, and both
these nations have assured the pow
ers Of their determination not to be
drawn into any Balkan imbroglio.
Official circles in France greatly
regret the criticism OF certain r'rench
newspapers that Great Britains slow
ness In agreeing to the pharaseology of
the note has retarded, the representa-
tions OF the powers. The criticism, It
is said. does not represent the official
French view. 1t is pointed out that
such criticism Is liable to cause a
false impression abroad. and that II
has furnished ammunition for an at
tack by the German press on Great
Britain.

said Governor Woodrow Wilson today
in referring to his recent declaration
that the United States Steel corpora
ton WAS behind the third party pro-
gram in thought"
Il am simply trying to show that Mr..
Roosevelt has the viewpoint of the
trusts and that we cannot afford to
have a man for president of the United
States who has that viewpoint. 1t is a
matter of perfect indifference to me
where Mr. Roosevelt gets his money,

And he got his ideas with regard to

candidates. For the same office with
In the state and upon which ticket
there were at least three nominees for
state officers: second. by convention
held on the same day of the primary
election for all organizations of cleo
tors existing prior to that day and not
governed by the terms of the direct
primary And third. by petition where
the signers to the petition have not
participated In the nomination Of any
person to that particular office, and
where the nomination Is not made for
any political party governed by the
direct primary act or by any existing
organization Of electors.
I'VE conclude, therefore, that the
nominees for state offices DESIGNATED
on the petition attached to the rela-
tors complaint are entitled to have
their names certified and printed on
the official ballot and that those
named for presidential electors and the
candidate for congress have not been
nominated In conformity with the stat
