MAY AMEND ELECTION LAW
Progressives Want a Primary,
but Would Retain Ballot.

Israel Ludlow, chairman of the law
committee of the Progressive State Com
mittee,. has suggested a number OF
changes in the election law. which will
probably be presented to the Legislature
by a member of the Progressive party In
the form Of amendments.
To remedy the difficulty that the Pro-
gressiye party finds itself in. not being
able 10 have an official primary this fall
because the members OF the party are
not enrolled. II ia suggested that a new
party that has placed state ticket In
the field be allowed to enroll at registra-
ton time and that the enrolment shall
stand In case the party becomes official
through the casting OF 10000 votes in the
ensuing election. In regard to the form
OF ballot Nj. Ludlow says:
ct seems that the present form is the
best that can be devised. II we had the
Massac husetts ballot, the voters would
be voting for all candidates on the ballot.
They would not think they were getting
their moneys worth otherwise IL they
did not.

ent form Of ballot they vote for six

Mr. Steuer asked the court that

go over with the court, without pre-

through his questions, what he wanted
to ask the witness concerning his ex-

LONDON'S TAXICAB CRISIS
Petrol Up 10 Per Gent, Causing
Strike Talk Among Men.
rBy Cable to The Tribune. ]


London, Nov. 21.-Another taxicap
crisis has arisen in London, this time
due to the greatly increased price OK
petrol. Whether 1t will lead to another
strike it is impossible yet to foresee'
but both tonight and o-morrow night
the drivers are to hold meetings to dis
cuss the situation.
1t looks as though there will be three
thousand fewer cabs in the streets
which is about one-third less than the
usual number. The price Of petrol mas
increased 20 per cent, which means an
added cost to the men Of 80 cents
day.
Apart from tips, they estimate that
the driver at present earns an average
Of no more than SO 90 a week. Add an
other 80 cents day as their contriou-
ton to the increased cost of petrol, and
they will have left only 81 so week.
on which It is, of course. impossible to
live.

May Come to Senses.

Frederick c. Tanner, leader Of the 18th
Assembly District, after introducing the
fusion resolution, said: e
TN so much as in the next two or
three years one mans personality will
not dominate the affairs Of the Progress
sive party. It will give the people an
opportunity to come to their senses and
abandon senseless and foolish hero-wor-
ship. IL they have that opportunity we
are going to find cut that the hope Of
the country is In perhaps the young, per-
haps the old, but at any rate the rein
vigorated Republican party"
Mr.. Tanner said he did not believe that
the Progressives in this city were going
to tie up 20 the non-fusion ideas OF any
state chairman who formerly lived In
Erie County and now lives In Westchester
County, or another citizen who swore
off his taxes here and now lives In Mas
sau County. ."I don't believe they will
stand by any such rule or ruin policy.

A resolution introduced by Abraham s.

for the appointment of a committee OF
seven to draft and advocate a substitute
for the Levy election law that would be
plain, simple, accurate and fair to all
parties and to independent bodies, and
which shah insure an honest vote"
There were applause and cheers when
the name Of President Taft was men
toned. A resolution was passed deplor-
ing the death Of Vice-President Sherman
and extending sympathy to his family.
and the committee then adjourned out Of
