CAN'T GET ON TICKET
Progressive Candidates Peti-
ton Fails.

The National Progressive party lost an
other candidate from its ticket in the
nth Assembly District yesterday, when
Justice Newburger decided that the name
OF John L. Henry, Bull Moose candidate
for the Assembly from that district shall
not be printed on the. official ballot.
Complaint was made to the court OF
the ,rregularity Of the petition on which
Henry obtained his certificate Of ncmina-
ton There were eS5 names on the ticket
ONLY i've hundred names OF properly
qualified voters are needed.
In the case of the Henry petition the
court decided that 2s1 signers were not
reeistered voters, 65 were Republicans, 10
Independence Leaguers. AZ lived outside
Of the district, s signed tha-petition twice
% signed another petition besides the one
for Henry, and " whose names were on
the petition made affidavit that they
never signed.
Besides the foregoing names which were
taken off the petition by the court, Jus
tIce Newburger rejected forty-four more
names for various reasons. When the
court got through wedding out the names
on the Henry petition that were imprap-
erIy signed TO 1t. there were left only 4sS
out of the eS5 signatures.

REFERENDUM TW0.EDGED
Arizona Finds Corporations Can
Hold Up Many Laws.
rBy Tel.rraph to The Tribun..

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 31.-When the max
ers of the Arizona Constitution adopted
the Initiative and referendum they said
that II the corporations forced an UNI
favorable measure through the Legs
lature the people would have a chance to
kill Il by the referendum. They talked
much about what a weapon they had put
into the hands OF the people. The rail-
roads. however. are showing the people"
that the referendum works both ways.
The first session OF the Arizona Legis-
lature passed several laws that the cos.
porations did not like and that the rail-
roads considered unfair The railroads
Immediately got UP petitions against these
measures and thus threw them into the
hopper for referendum action. AS a result
the anti-railroad measures were automsu-
cally suspended until the referendum
vote could be taken and the voters could
have a chance to pass on them at the
polls next week.
Many politicians expect the measures
will be defeated. The corporations en-
ploy more than half the residents OF the
state.

"Al we wish to do is to prevent the

scoundrelsm which was responsible for
the election OF a practically solid anti
Progressive delegation at the New York
city primaries last spring. which was
responsible for the downright theft of the
Republican National Convention las,

In the case OF the Republican Ma

STUDENTS CHEER STRAUS
Candidate Addresses Large
Noon Gathering at Columbia.

Oscar s. straus, and his running mate
on the Progressive state ticket, Freder-
ick NJ. Davenport, addressed a large and
enthusiastic audience at Columbia Uni
versity yesterday at noon. The crowd
was so great that riot almost deyel-
oped when II tried to jam into the audi
forum OF Earl Hall.
BY telling the students he was an alum
nus of Columbia OF the class Of 70 Mr..
Straus got hold on his audience at the
start He was cheered for three solid
minutes. then said, in part:
The old parties are commercialiZed and
dominated by property interests; they are
no longer the Democratic and Republi-
can parties OF jefferson and Lincoln.
They are the Barnes party and the Muir
ply party. The Progressive party is in
sp.red by human interests. Read your
history and you will find that every great
moral movement has the support or two
great classes OF people, and the Progress
sive movement has this support.
IL has the support OF the people who
have great breadth OF vision, the pro-
fessors, the teachers, the physicians and
all men who think, who weigh public
questions in the scale OF right and wrong
and do not waver from the human Inter
ests: IL has the support OF the plain
people. the people who Lincoln said can
be depended TO hold stanch and stead
fast I'm every great crisis.
Opposed to us are the large property
interests and those who have wealth. The
richer a man gets the more enslaved he
becomes. ami decides Great questions in
the light OF how they will affect him, and
not the country as whole. They have
not the vision of the other classes. they
are the reactonaries. With the men OF
vision with us with these two great
classes with us, our cause Is bound 20
win.
Governor Wilson, who is scholar and
historian, az you well know, strange TO
say, when he approaches a question OF
life and the law OF living, Is either mis-
taken. or on the wrong eide altogether.
He says that II there is minimum wage
law. all wages will be forced down TO
that minimum. ! defy him to show a
single instance where a minimum wage
has fixed tendency TO reduce wages.
With our workman's compensation act
we propose 10 place the burden where Il
can best be borne, on the backs OF the
captains OF industry. Our laws are the
laws that operated In feudal times, and
we have outgroun them as the express
train has outgrown the stage coach and
art.

URGING PROMPT ACTION
Republican Leaders Ask Com.
mittee to Name Man Now.

Washington, Oct 3-In an effort to
bring about an expression OF sentiment
before the election next Tuesday, Repub-
lican leaders in this city are sending out
kilograms to all the members of the Re-
publican National Committee, asking
them to name the man they favor for sug-
gestion TO the Republican electors for
their vote in the Electoral College.
1t is desired TO have this expression or
opinion before the election SO that Repub-
lican voters may have an idea Of the
character Of the Vice-President for whom
they will be voting when they cast their
ballots for the Taft and Sherman ticket.
Indica lions tonight are that the choice
will lie among these men: Governor Had
ley OF Missouri, who is said TO be In a re-
ceptive mood Senator Borah, OF Idaho,
who is now supporting President TAFT.
and who would probably receive most OF
the insurgent as we'll as regular Repubh-
can votes in the Senate should that body
be called on TO elect a Vice-Presldent
who might Immediately assume the office
of President; and Senator Cummins, OF
Iowa, who was a candidate for President,
but who Is taking no active part in the
campaign.
senator La Toilette, Of Wisconsin.
whose attitude Is doubtful, but who might
be persuaded to permit his name to be
voted on.
The possibility Of the election being
thrown into the House Is receiving more
and more consideration from politicians
OF all parties here. II is practically ad-
mitted tonight that there is no way TO
ascertain definitely how the election will
go next Tuesday.
The straw votes that are being taken
are utterly unreliable. Even so good
Wilson man as John Garner, Represents
tive from Texas, was telling the politicians
about Democratic headquarters tonight
that on a train from the West ne found
that women and children were being
counted for Roosevelt.
II asked a man why he was counting
women and children. who wouldn't vote
at the polls" said Mr.. Garner, land my
friend replied that IL would make good
showing for Roosevelt. l saw a number
OF other straw ballots on trains being
taken in the same way. Most OF them
show Wilson IN the lead. with Roosevelt
second. but the colonel Is given second
place by padding the list with women anu
children"
One member Of a brokerage firm in the
capital offered to bet 1900 20 81 800 THAI
Wilson would be elected; that Taft would
run second and Roosevelt third, but he
found no takers Another member was
willing to bet s1.20o to $3.50 that Roose-
velt would run, second and Taft third.
There were no takers.
There is very little betting going on.
No one seems to be willing TO back his
Judgment with much hard cash. II is
the general impression that It is an open
race. with the chances slightly favoring
Wilson, but that everything depends on
the Silent vote" and especially on the
manner in which the men who took no
part In the primaries vote next TUESDAY.
Politicians admit that there are no pre-
cedents by which TO judge the present
situation. There never was a similar
triangular fight In the history OF politics
in this country.

OF the Democratic national headquarters.
Mr.. Bryan declared the outlook for Dem
ocratic success bright indeed, and as
serted that in no state he had visited did
he find any indication that the electoral
vote would go TO either the President or
Colonel Roosevelt
Democratic success seemed as absolute
" certain as anything human could be,
Mr. Bryan said and OF all Presidential
years within the last score this seemed
essentially to be Democracy's year. Mr..
Bryan then went on:
II is not strange that the voters ~ the
country should turn from President Taft
pies fight for reform, hut Il Is strange
that any one who opposes Taft should
turn 10 Roosevelt for relief
Colopel Roosevelt had twice as long IN
which TO secure reforms M Taft had and
now he asks third term (and we do not
know how many more he wants. in which
TO do what he could have done when he
was President.

falling to help him 10 make good lie q aks
us TO accept him as his substitute for
Taft Could anything be more audaCious
Governor Wilson is the only hope Of the
nation. II we would free ourselves from
the burden Of taxes and the menace ot
monopoly. He Is a big. brainy statesman.
and particularly a man who has the cour-
age Of his convictions, and who. n elect
ed, will make this country one ~ tn.
best and safest Presidents II has ever
had.
A..
try had ever knoEn was closing, Mr..
Bryan said. He had not found IL a cam
paign OF noise and buster, but, on the
whole, one OF sober attention on the part
OF the voters, and in this attitude he
could see but one thing. and that was the
election OF Governor Wilson.
