Colonel and Confident of
His Home States

tonight from the strain Of the last two
weeks campaign, during which four
would-be Presidential candidates bon-
barded the state from one end 20 the

maries.
Three Of the Republican candidates for
the Presidential nomination carried heir
fights almost up to the hour Of balloting,
and tonight President Taft, Colonel
Roosevelt and Senator La Toilette made
addresses. offering their final pleas to
the Republican voters for support TO-
morrow. Governor Judson Harmon re-
fused several invitations to speak to-day

ing a large primary vote. Because OF
the complicated ballots, returns are not
expected until late. The polls will bs
open from $50 in the morning until the
same hour in the evening.
Louis C. Laylin, President Tafts ohio
manager, was confident in his predic-
tions tonight that the President would
not be turned down by his own state.
He said:
1t Is a Taft victory and It's all over but
the shouting. Ohio looks better for Taft
TO might than II did forty-eight hours ago.
and II looked mighty good then. Within
the last twenty,-four hours there has been
a remarkable change in sentiment for the
President among the farmers.
Walter +. Brown, chairman Ct tho
Republican State Central Committee,
who has mana e;ed Theodore Roosevelts
campaign in this state, left his head
quarters this afternoon without making
any final prediction as TO to-morrow's
outcome. The Ohio Roosevelt commit

| dore Roosevelt will be elected in a sub
stantial majority Of the twenty-one Con-
gress districts, we continue 10 expect a

into place through their buckles There
was a quiver i'm every mans hand, and
even the electrician twice placed the
face strap over the doomed mans face
before he could adjust it satisfactorily.
Throughout all this the former cler-

gave answer after answer to questions
propounded to him by the Rev. Mr..
Johnson.

SUSPENDED SENTENCES
NOT ON TR|AL--F0SD|CK
Says Present Attack on System
Strikes at No Principle, as Un-
termyer Letter Intimated.
WHIMSICAL REASONS" RULE
Since January 1, 1911, There
Were 112 Convictions for Crime
Against Property and Person
with No Jail Term Attached.

Raymond 3. FosdiCk Commissioner II
Accounts. who has been aiding Police
Commissioner Waldo i'm the general air
ing of the affairs Of the Court of General
Sessions responded yesterday to the
statement Of Samuel Untermyer regard
ing the practice of suspending sentences
with the assertion that under present
conditions suspended sentences were
being granted for whimsical reasons"
Mr.. Untermyer's letter, said Mr.. Fos-
dick. might give the impression that the
present investigation was an attack on
the principle of suspended sentences.
Such was not the case, he explained, and
no one would question the fact that the
trend of American criminoogy was tow
ard the extension Of suspended and In
dcterminate sentences, together with tile
parole and probation systems.
These well established principles
however" said Mr.. Fosdick, which are
now part Of the state law, must not be
confused with the methods of the courts
by which they are put into operation.
TO show that suspended sentences were
granted for whimsical reasons is not to
attack the principle of suspended sem
tences. To show that the records Of the
court are inadequate TO permit Of sys-
tematic control over probationers Is not
TO advocate reactionary measures. And
when II is shown, as 1t has been shown,
that cases are thrown out OF court be-
cause of alleged improper remarks of a
witness or an assistant District Attorney,
or because only two witnesses out of
three were called for the people, l do
not see that any principle of criminology
is involved at ALL"
IT was suggested to Mr.. Fosdick, as a
coincid u ce, that one of the prominent
Judges of the General Sessions Court was
a guest of Mr.. Untermyer on Saturday
hut the Commissioner of Accounts SAID
that he had been too busy TO read the
society columns.
To Determine Use or Abuse.
TT > the intention Of this Office" he
added. Ito make an analysis OF sus-
pended sentences in the Court or General
Sessions for the period 1901, not with
the idea Of determining the correctness
of the principle of suspended sentence
that is too we'll established now-but to
determine the use made of that principle
bv the Judges of the court. The police
figures showing that there were 1882
suspended sentences out Of 4.S03 convic-
tions in a given period may or may not
he alarming according as the use or mis-
use of suspended sentences is deter
mined"
Mr.. Fosdick added the details of an
other case in which Judge Mulqueen
figured, in his daily letter to Commits
sioner Waldo yesterday. 1t was the case
of the People agt. Giuseppe Ristino. in
dicted with Frank Picony, alias Piloney,
for attempted burglary in the third de-
gree. They were arrested after leaving

THE LAW FoRB1Ds.
eIaisdeu BelievesS Circulation
Tickets is a Violation.

Minot.-1s the circulation of cards or
tickets of the -so-called slate order in.
the primary campaign a violation OF
the 1911 corrupt practice act?
This is the question which Alfred
Blafsdell, candidate for the republican
nomination for congress, asks of At
torney General Miller in the follow
ing interest letter:
March 80, 1912.-The Honorable
Andrew Miller, Attorney General,
Bismarck, N. D.-My Dear General:
Sec. g., Chap. 1923, Laws of 1911, N.
D., provides that mo person shall in
order to aid or promote his nomina-
ton directly or Indirectly promise to
secure or aid in securing the nomina-
tion of another person.. etc."
In your opinion does the statute
forbid any two or more candidates or
set of candidates cooperating and
circulating cards or tickets of the So
called slate order, with their names
and offices sought thereon, and when
such candidates are Jointly contribut-
ing to the expenses thereof, either in
a direct or indirect manner? appre-
bend that there is no question but
what this statute does away with the
old system Of establishing headquar-
ters for any Of the various sets of can
didates, but does the statute forbid
the circulating of a printed. ticket or
slate" when the candidates have in
any direct or indirect manne1jointly
contributed towards the expenses
thereof. Your early opinion or this
most important matter is earnestly
desired. 1t is a matter of vital inter-
est not only to all those candidates
who desire to live up to the spirit of
the law but also to the voters of the
state. p
/ have the honor to remain.
