TAFT AGAINST ROOSEVELT
PURELY POLITICAL SAYS OPINION
PeepuI al Primary Will Decide
Which Sci Of Electors Will Head
Ticket al Fall Election
AN Assoclated Press !


Topeka, Kan, July 23.-The lega
rights of the voters of Kansas were
upheld by the state supreme court
in a decision in the mandamus suit
TO keep the Roosevelt electors off
the primary ballot AS result of
this ruling the voters VIII decide
which set of presidential electors
those for Roosevelt or those for
Taft-wil head the republican
ticket in the November election.
The court decided that the move
OF the standpatters to use the
steam roller in Kansas and prevent
the voters making choice was
purely political and had no place in
the courts.
The highest court in the state
assumes" in its decision that the
district court in which the temper
ary restraining order was granted
will dismiss the proceedings pending
before it.
The question of whether R'oose-
welt or Taft presidential electors
shall go on the republican ballot in
the November election must be left
to the voters and not taken into the
courts, according to the decision of
the supreme court today IN the
mandamus suit brought by the
Roosevelt adherents to compel coun-
ty clerks to place the names Of
Roosevelt electors on the ballot for
the primary election of August 6.
According to the decision, the
Roosevelt electors will remain on
the primary ballot.
The court held that the whole
matter Or presidential electors
should be left to the voters because
there is no legal question involv-
ed"
The controversy. the court held,
was purely political.
The action of Judge G, e. Branine
of the district court of Harvey coun-
ty, in taking jurisdiction of the
injunction suit brought by the
Taft supporters was not wrong, the
supreme court decided but there
was no cause for action IN the suit
and the injunction proceedings ac-
cordngly are dismissed. The opin-
ion of the court was unanimous.
Regarding the Harvey county suit
the opinion, after stating that the
case was purely political and stat
ing that the court had jurisdiction
No entertain the petition, adds:
1T is assumed that the court of
Harvey county will dismiss the suit
pending before it Upon such dis
missal the occasion for the, proceed
ing in this court Will be removed
and. consequently. this proceeding
is dismissed.
The names of the Roosevelt cleo
tors remain on the primary ballot
as republicans.

Baths Fit for g Napoleon.
"In every ward of the city there
ought to be one of these big public
buildings with a gymnasium, baths
and a swimming pool. Is there any
reason why the city of Newark
shouldn't have these things that
other cities find so helpful? Take the
public baths they have just built at
Prince street. They are fit for a
Napoleon, but for the same money
that was expended Boston would
have had just as good bath and a
big gymnasium, too.

the Board of Education in a few days
and ask them to equip the Monmouth
Street School with a playground and
to let us use the seventeen gymnasi-
ums in the public schools when not
in use by the school pupils.
s"Let us work together to the end
that within two years, through co.
operation with the Board of Educa-
tion, the park commission and other
agencies, we shall have playground
space for every child in the city and
have begun a system of big gymnasi-
ums in every ward for the youth of

SCHOOL
ALARM SYSTEM
Auxiliary Fire Bells Will Soon
Be Placed in Audi
toriums.

Evidence that the Board of Edu-
cation contemplates installing a more
complete fire alram system in the
public school auditoriums came out
yesterday just when the fire board
contemplated reminding the school
authorities to get busy.
Former Alderman Michael j. Nc
Gowan appeared before the board to
describe an auxiliary fire alarm sys-
tenn for the schools, and stated that
he had gone over the question with
the school commissioners
The condition of the Elliot Street
School came within an ace of caus-
ing the fire commissioners to send a
demand to the Board of Education
for the adoption of precautionary
measures.
The fire board several months ago
served notice on the school board
that improvement was needed in sew
eral of the school alarm systems and
that it was desirous that all auditori-
ums be fitted up as are the theatres
and the same regulations adopted
governing them when crowds assem-
bled A detail would be given when
ever request was received. A school
official called at headquarters some-
time after in search of data. He re-
ceived some and was to return for
more
Mr.. MCGOWAN told of the advant-
ages of the system. which he said was
in use in the Boston schools. The
system included boxes in all class
rooms and corridors connected up
with the direct city ALARM box The
boxes could be detached and pulled
for fire drills. The system was SO
sensitive that warning was given at
once on the main alarm the moment
anything went wrong. The former
alderman said he appeared before the
commission because the school COM
missioners had raised the question
whether the fire department would
sanction the installation of an aux
ilary alarm outfit The board prom
Used to consider the matter and give
an answer later.
Fireman George Rettig pleaded
guilty to charges that he was absent
from his quarters. Engine No. IA.
without leave on December 3 and 10
He said personal troubles had "over-
powered" him, causing the negligence
of duty. Asked his occupation before
entering the department the fireman
said he was in the United States
Navy. The board went into execu-
tive session to consider the case and
when they returned from an outer
room President William e. Weber
said: 1--WE have decided to be little
lenient with you because you were
in the navy" A fine of fifteen days
pay was then imposed.
Chief Moore was instructed to de-
tail two men at the. distribution of
gifts to $50 poor children by Newark
Lodge No. 21, of the Elks, at the
sElks clubhouse, Green street, on
