F foreigners in Tien lSin
Have Suffered Very Little

(By Associated EfeSssJ
ITEM TSIN, March Absolute quiet
has prevailed in all parts of the city
throughout today. Measures taken by
the foreign consuls and commanders
of the international troops stationed
here evidently have intimidated the
riotous element of the population and
the mutinous soldiers.
Buildings connected with the railroad
and warehouses belonging to foreign
firms are guarded by detachments Of
foreign troops. Generally speaking, for
eign property has not suffered, but in
the native city thers has been a great
deal of destruction.
The railway from here to Picking is
open. Trains today have not been mo-
lested.J
Ruin is to be seen in every important
thoroughfare. Partly burned corpses lie
about the streets. There were several
more executions today.

political party for that is not
Jurisprudence, but politics" That
is the law as it stands today.
At the party council Secretary of
State Sessions stated that he would
welcome a suit against him to test
the question anew. He could have
certified out the names of Taft and
Sherman for several weeks past, but
delayed action for the sole purpose of
giving anybody in Kansas an oppor-
tunity to bring such test case. That
the learned lawyers, who first took
issue with him, finally adopted his
view of the law is evidenced by the
fact that they have finally, one and
all, advised against bringing the suit.
The Attorney general offered to
waive all questions as to the right of
the Roosevelt electors or any private
citizen to bring such a suit, and have
the court pass squarely upon the
merits of the case as to whether or
not the supreme court would hold
that the Watson decision is still the
law in Kansas. But the Roosevelt
attorneys thought it wasn't worth
while.

Taft Should Be Reelected.

President Taft should be re-elect-
ed because he has given the country
an honest and effective administra-
ton. The three years of his term
have been characterized by business
stability and unexplained prosperity
He has maintained the high standing
of the United States among the ma
ton of the world. In his efforts to
secure international peace he has ele-
waited this republic to the highest
plane among world powers. Thus, I'M
der his administration, there has been
material aud moral advancement at
United States abroad.
He has been fearless and impair
fial administrator of the laws. He
has prosecuted the illegal trusts more
numerously, more actively and more
effectively than any of his predeces-
sors. He has shown great wisdom in
dealing with national problems and
he has shown courage and decision in
meeting international questions,
such as the abrogation of the Russian
treaty. Above all, he has kept faith
with the people and has maintained
constitutional government.
He has been a good business presi-
dent. The tariff board, through
which the tariff would be taken out
of politics, was his idea. He personal
ly scrutinized all the details of gov
ernmental expenditure and he organ
lied the efficiency and economy COM
mission which has saved the people
millions of dollars.
His wiz recommendations for the
betterment of social welfare have re-
suited in the enactment of many be-
nef1cent laws.
With courage, ability and wisdom,
he has conducted the affairs of the
nation. That his work, done without
ostentation or self-praise, has produc-
ed great results is demonstrated by
the splendid condition in which the
country finds itself today.

The Republican Ticket Will be Headed
Taft and Sherman

After careful examination of the
law Chairman Dolley of the Republi-
can State Committee advised the
Roosevelt electors that the law made
it mandatory upon the Secretary of
State to certify out the names of Taft
and Sherman as the candidates for
President and Vice-President on the
Republican ticket and that it was use
less to bring suit to test the question
again. This same conclusion was
reached by Secretary of State Chas.
I'll. Sessions and Attorney General
John S. Dawson.
This identical question has already
been decided by the Kansas Supreme
Court in the case of the Populist
candidate for Vice-President in 1896.
When Mr.. Thomas E. Watson, of
Georgia learned that the Kansas
electors nominated by his own party
would vote for Arthur Sewell, of
Maine, the democratic nominee for
Vice-President he requested the sec
Rotary of state to keep his name off
the ballot because it would work
fraud and Misrepresentation on the
voters. The secretary of state agreed
TODD it. But the supreme court issu-
ed writ of mandamus compelling
the secretary of state to certify out
the name of Mr.. Watson, even over
the protest of Mr.. Watson himself
The facts in the present case are
these: There are now and for several
weeks past have been on file in the
secretary's office, three certificates
duly executed by the convention Of
ficers of the three political parties
the Republican, Democrat and
Socialist. The Republican certificate
shows that Taft and Sherman are the
Republican nominees; the Demo-
cratic certificate shows that Wilson
and Marshall are the Democratic
nominees; and the Socialist certificate
shows that Debs and Seidel are its
nominees.
No certificate or other notice has
been filed in that of1ice on behalf of
any other person claiming either the
Republican, Democratic or Socialist
nomination for President and Vice
President.
The Kansas supreme court in the
Watson case said; "a certificate of
nomination is the guide to the secre-
tary of state, and he should follow IL
in giving direction to the county
clerks as to the making of the Official
ballot. We think it plain that he has
no right to omit the party appella-
tion, nor the names of the pres
idenuial and vice-presidential candi-
dates added to the party appellation
by the authority of law and properly
appearing in the certificate

public morals and that even the
court itself could not pass judgment
