II Is equally significant that VIII.

bered. however, that no campaign
has as yet been made In New York

litical complexion. should ne lose

er before, therefore, New York is
the pivotal state on which this cleo

Another interesting feature OF
this poll is the strong showing OF

Indiana, Debs polls 25 TO Tsfts 35.

dicate that the socialist vote will

LAW OF INITIATIVE UPHELD
U. S. Supreme Court Holds Only Con.
gress Can Change Referendum
Statute Of Oregon.

Washington. - The cause OF direct
legislation by the people won a de-
cisive victory here when the Supreme
%plication the initiative and referen-
dunn amendment to the Oregon consti-
tuition. 1t refused to take jurisdiction
of the test suis c%ontesting validity OF
the legislation. Many states in which
agitation for direct legislation is be-
fore the people + affected by the
decision. Oregon's courts have de.
clared constitutional the initiative and
referendum, in two cases heard.
One was brought by the Pacific
Coast Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, which refused to pay a tax OF
two per cent. on It's annual gross re-
ceipts, provided by a law adopted by
the people under the direct legisla-
ton amendmnt. 1t held that the mi
tiative and referendum were repug-
nant to the federal constitution.
Justice White delivered the opinion.
1.-The issues are political and gov
ernmental, and not therefore within
the reach Of judicial power" he said.
1T fellows that the case presented Is
not within our jurisdiction, and the
writ OF error must therefore be and it
is dismissed for want to jurisdiction"
The decisions was unanimous. and
leaves the Oregon laws in free and
untrammeled operation until some
hindering action is taken, If at all, by
the national congress.

ELECTION DISPUTE SETTLED.
Supreme Court decides 5~ridgewater
Contest AGAINST Raw.

Bridgewater.-The office of mayor
Of the city of Bridgewater, which has
been a bone of contention since the
election in April, 1911, has finally
been decided, through a decision hand
ed down by the state supreme court
against Mayor Ray in an action emit
tied Jacob Tschetter VS.. c. a. Ray.
At the election in April, 1911, Ray,
on the face of the returns, was elect
ed by a majority Of one vote, qualified,
and has since held the office. 1t ap-
pears that several of the ballots
counted for Ray were irregularly
marked, the voter pacing the cross
after the candidates name instead Of
in the squire before the name, which
Irregularities gave rise to contest pro
ceedings being instituted in circuit
court, from which decision an appeal
was taken to the state supreme court.
The principles in this case are well
known throughout the state and it
has attracted statewide attention.
The decision by the court w4.l doubt
less result in more care being eXer-
cised in the future by the voter in
the marking of his ballot, as accord
ing to its ruling the intent does not
always govern.
