HIS OWN

FREAK ACT OF CHOOSING
SENATOR BY DISTRICT, I'M
o KANSAS, RETROACTIVE

:, Topeka. Kas.. Aug. l2-While Sen
ator Curtis claims and appears. t.

Governor Stubbs has walked ava,
with the Republican nomination fo
United States senator.
AS was to be expected, the Curtis
managers are making one long. lone
some wall at the anomaly in the Kan
sas primary law. put there particu
llarly to save reactionary Republic
Ian from defeat at the hands of pro
'gressive.
Curtis Own Law Beat Him
On the face of the returns avail
able Curtis has carried the popular
vote by four to five thousand ma
jOrity over Stubs. but the governor
has about ninety legislative districts
ont OF the los and has the nomina-
/ ton The official returns may make
some changes In the result. but hard
~ enough TO change tho nomination.
In the special session Of the legis-
lGture of 1908, when the Kansas pri'
inary law was passed. the friends OF
Senator Long, d. w. Mulvane, j. q.
Slonecker. Sam Fitzpatrick. F Du'
mont Smith and others of the reac-
tionary crowd insisted that the Unit
cd States senator should be nominal
&c by the plurality of legislative dis
tricts. They forced this section into
the law through the conference COM
n.ttee. 1t was openly stated at the
time that the Long followers were in
sisting on this provision to save

+ Prophecy Came True
The day the conference committee

message read in effect:
I'VE got the provision to nominate
senator by plurality of legislative
districts The friend read the mess
age out loud and as he handed 1t
back 10 Richards, said:
THAT thing will rise up and slap
you in the face"
The prophecy made at that time
has come true twice. It did not save
Senator Long from defeat by Bristow

OF Curtis this year.

Democratic nomination for President. and
"Chimme" doesn't care who knows It,
either, for he told Governor Wilson all
about It at the State House to-day.
Governor Wilson had a conference with
number Of the Democratic Congressman
from New Jersey this afternoon. at which
he discussed plan Of action for the Bal

bitues Of the Governors office Edwerd W.
Townsend, who represents the 9Th New Jer-
sey District in Congress, and whose pen
name is "Chimmie Fadden," walked into
the Governors private office and Joined TIE
conferrees.
The Smith-Nugent machine Is strong in
the district that Mr.. Townsend represents,
and at once the gosslps began to whisper
that the Representative had forsaken his
friends at home and had climbed on the
Wilson band wagon. When the conference
was over, however. Mr.. Townsend said he
was for Underwood. and had told Governor
Wilson so, and that the Governor wasn't
surprised, merely saying he knew all about
it.
Mr.. Townsend said he had called on tho
Governor with an invitation to speak at

Mr.. Townsend were Representatives Kin

and the talk must have been pleasing TO
the Governor, for he was in fine humor
after It was over. The Congressman told
him Of conditions at Washington, which.
they said, showed a strong trend in his
favor, and they all prOmIsed-Townsend
excepted. Of course-to 30 TO Baltimore

A big Jersey City delegation called on the

ST. REGIS WINDOW SMASHED
Arrest Follows as Police Dispense
Hotel Strikers.

Just as the guests ut the st. Regis were
settling down 10 their midday meal yester-
day brick came sailing through one OF
the hotel windows. sending n shower OF
glass In every direction. Hardly had the
noise OF the crash ended when a mob in
the street began to give vent to mad
shrleks and yels BY this time the diners
were unanimously OF tho opinion that they
might better feed their curiosity than their
ftomachs, so they rushed from the dining
room.
Tho reason for tho disturbance was soon
learned. Two hundred striking walters
and sympathizers had gathered in front OF
the hotel bent on trouble making Before
they could really get down TO business.
however, a squad OF police came bearing
down on the rioters, who rapidly dispersed.
Patrolman Spies. OF Traffic Squad G, made
the only arrest. The prisoner was Albert
Dreher Of Ninth avenue and 43d street,
who was charged by Thomas Carroll, the
hotel detective, with malicious mischief.
Spies said he saw Dreher throw the brick.
Dreher was taken to the East 5lst street
police station, and from there to the York
Vile court, where he was arraigned before
Magistrate Murphy and held in bail of
500 until this morning, at his own request
He told the magistrate he wanted time

rumor to the effect that thirty walters
deserted at the Hotel ST. Denis ut the first
dinner since tho hotel was reopened was
current at the strikers headquarters last
night but investigation proved that only
two men had left there. The new manage
ment had been careful In selecting the
help. but the two men managed to get in
and sought to organize the walters. When
the whistle blew to signal to walk out in
the dining room, the two strikers were
seized and forciby elected from the hotel,
Edward Blochllnger. financial secretary at
the International Hotel Workers Union,
said the attempted strike was made with
out authority, and was due solely TO en-
thusiasm on the part of the two men.
At a meeting at Bryant Hall last night
the statement that the men were ready
TO go back to the hotels was emphatically
denied.
