BALLOT FOURTEEN FEET
LONG VOTED IN NEW YORK

New York City.-This state is
having its first experience with the
new primary law today in the cleo
ton OF delegates to the national po-
litical convention. The one in tho
Twenty-third Congressional district,
is fourteen feet long, which is some
thing of a record for ballots.
The eyes of the nation are on the
primary fight in New York State,
because il will have such an import
ant effect upon the coming presi-
Dental campaign. Already Col
Roosevelt is claiming 40 of the New
York delegates to the convention.
Many Progressive ''up-state' Re-
publicans have declared for him and
are working for him at the primar-
les today. Since former Benjamin
b. Odcll has entered the fight as
State Committeeman, the Progress

sives have decided to put against
him Congressman Hamilton Fish.
Last night Colonel Roosevelt made
a wbirlwind tour of the East side of
New York city in the interest of his
candidates at the primaries today.
He has also decided to make a num-
Der of speeches in this city before he
starts on his tour of the Western
States. Chairman Duell, of tine
Roosevelt headquarters declares that
the oX-president is not worried over
the confident reports issued by the
Republican County Committee,
which has already declared for
President Taft.
On the other hand the support
ers Of President Taft declare that
they are working hard, realizing
that they have a stiff fight on hand,
but they feel confident that their
plans will carry and the greatest
number of delegates, after the re-
suit of the primaries is known, will
be fore the President.

on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday of November. The ballots of
a big state cannot be printed and
distributed in a jiffy.
And then again, how much faint
is involved in an election in Kansas :?
The election cannot be declared tainted
as a whole, and it is difficult to see
how the supreme court can throw it
into the House, for the electors do
not meet until the second Monday in
January, and their ballots are not
opened by Congress until the second
Wednesday in February. Federal
judges can work the injunction in
many ways, but they cannot well
manipulate electors who have not
acted. This would have star cham
Der flavor.

The November Election

The democrats have but one thing
to fear, and that one thing is over
confidence. In very truth, there is
no absolute walk-over for anybody in
this campaign. The republicans are
hopelessly divided. They are split
into two factions, and one of these
factions, led by Barnes and Penrose,
will appeal to the tariff beneficiaries,
and the other led by Perkins and Nc
Cormick will get big subscriptions
from various trusts.
When three tickets are in the field
in all of the states the dickering
among county, district and state can
didates will be endless. In New York
state an effort will be made to take
advantage of the police graft scandal,
and in Tweed's day such a revelation
of rottenness led to political revo-
luton.
1t is to be a complicated canvass
full of surprises, and William How

ard Taft is by no means out of the
running. He expects the support of
the entire tariff crowd, and Roosevelt
expects the support of the Rough
Riders and the disconnected. Governor
Wilson is free man. His hands are
clean, and it remains to be seen
whether such man can in these days
be elected in this country. Before
the war such men were elected, but
since the war a really free man has
had small opportunity indeed. Let
no one therefore consider this cam
paign walkover for anybody. 1t will
become warm in the fall, and it will
remain warm to election day.

Kansas Primary Election

The primary of Tuesday in Kansas
was practically a Roosevelt victory.
The eight candidates for presidential
electors who had publicly declared
they would, if elected, vote for Roose-
welt, were "whisked" into nomination,
and there were other gains of that
nature throughout the state.
The nomination of the eight cleo
toral candidates in question raises a
big legal issue. The subject will come
before the United States supreme
court in October on a writ of error
granted by Justices Pitney and Van
devanter. The eight go on the ticket
as republicans under the caption,
Taft and Sherman" In other words,
the Taft republicans of Kansas are
disfranchised. The state is entitled
to 10 electoral votes, all told, and eight
of the republican nominees say they
will, if elected in November, vote for
Roosevelt.
What will the supreme court do
when it meets in October? Can the
Taft voters in Kansas be DISTINGUISHED
in this manner? If not, what is the
remedy? The remedy, if any, must
be speedy, for the election takes place

said an old voter.
II made quite an extensive trip the lat

On the train | heard much discussion

prohibition friends predict that many
voters now living would see the day
when the prohibtionists would elect a
President. l doubt If any experienced OBJ
server would make such a prediction
now.
IL have sometimes wondered why all
the rabid prohibtionists do not vote the
prohibition ticket in national elections,
but for some cause or other the total
popular vote of Eugene f. Chain, the
prohibltionist standard bearer four years
ago, was only 253s40. AS the nominee
of the prohibitionsts this year he may
poll as many as 275,Ooo. but none of us
will live to see the day when the pro-
hibitionists will poll a million. They
have never had a single vote in tho

The Hillman Hospital

A few years ago when the Hillman
hospital, which had been erected and
furnished by voluntary contributions,
was turned over to the county to be
maintained and conducted entirely as
a charity hospital the building seemed
large enough to accommodate all the
patients that might be sent there for
a long time to come. But Jefferson
county has increased rapidly in popu-
lation, and today the Hillman hospital
is distressingly congested. There are
accommodations for about 70 patients,
but hardly day passes that hun
dred or more are not treated in that
institution.
The bond question submitted by the
Board of Revenue of Jefferson county
to be voted on next Monday includes
two separate observation-disclosures
for the erection of a courthouse and
Jail in Birmingham, and 100000 for
a courthouse in Bessemer. Those two
items form one proposition and cannot
be separated. The other proposition
is for 100000 to be expended in en-
larging the hospital.
A new courthouse and jail here are
needed, and there is a pressing de-
mand for courthouse in Bessemer.
The Age-Herald believes that the
courthouse bond issue proposition
should carry, but no matter what be
the fate of that measure the vote for
the Hillman hospital bond issue should
be practically unanimous. The hos
pital is managed by physicians of high
character and fine talent. Consider
ing the cramped quarters, the hospital
staff is doing splendid work. The
poor and afflicted not only receive
the closest attention, but they are
treated as kindly, and with as much
skill as if they were rich pay patients.
Let every -voter cast his ballot for
the hospital bonds next Monday no
matter what else he does.

The cross of Honor

September % is the last date for
the bestowal OF the Cross of Honor on
Confederate veterans. Mrs. J. A.
Rountree, recorder of crosses for the
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
says that it is the earnest wish OF
her Organization that every veteran in
Alabama should receive a little bronze
badge in recognition of heroic serv-
ice. Anyone who knows of veteran
who has not received a cross will con-
fer a favor on the United Daughters
by calling attention to the worthy ex-
Confederate who has been overlooked.

Fleas and Rats in New Orleans

The people of\New Orleans did not
come out to a meeting called to in
augurate a movement to kill all
plague infected rats. And yet they
know that such rats-all rats for that
matter-should be killed in order to
render the city and the port plague
proof.
The trouble is, they want to get rid
of their political rats also, and good
government meetings are more popu-
lar than are meetings that simply pre-
sent the dangers of bubonic plague.
They do right to unload their po-
litical rats, but they should not over
look the immediate responsibilities
that go with great port. Their city
stands between infection in the West
Indies and 90,000,000 of people on the
mainland. They should first do their
full duty towards the great American
people, and then they can attend to
their own political rats with courage
and dispatch.
No one expects New Orleans to cling
to a crooked system of local politics,
but all do expect the people of that
city to rid themselves of. plague in
fected rats, and this means all rats
that go on four legs.
