Won't Stand for Finger.
Regardless Of what may be the out
come Of the present ENHANCEMENT,
there Is one nomination which will
never be confirmed by the senate. That
is the one of S. A. Finger of Daven-
port for postmaster. Both senators
have openly announced their opposi-
ton to him and whatever deal is made
as regards the rest Of the slate, each
will insist that he must be droppeda II
the senate refuses to confirm him when
his name is put up, and it may be put
up, the president might sent In anoth-
ed appointment for the four year term
and it might be approved. However, it
is likely that the democrats would OBJ
ject to this as the president made
recess appointment In the case and il
Finger isn't confirmed, they will feel
that the office is theirs after IL m.
March 4.
Mr. Adams, when asked about the
reorganization of the party, said he
had no general scheme yet He thought
it good idea to let things moev along
for a time to give the democrats a
chance to open the way for re- organi-
cation. He IS Of the opinion they will
do it. The Washington Post quoted him
as follows on the subject:
Undoubtedly there will come time
for such action between now and the
presidential campaign four years hence
but I do not believe the time is pro-
pitious now. There is still too much
rancor from the recent campaign to
harmonic the differences which exist
in the party"

Defective Election Laws.

Judge Criswell, of Vensngo county, in
the case of Willis j. Hulings against
Peter NJ. Speer, recently decided that the
State courts have no jurisdiction in Con-
gressional elections, Congress being the
sole Judge of the qualification of its own
members Hulines charged that Speer
had been nominated by Democrat votes.
Judge Criswell said that the challenge
was the only protection afforded one
political party against the interference of
another in nominations. 1t has been the
custom in this State ever since our pri-
mary law was passed for the Democrats
to assist in Republican nominations and
vice versa.
prevent this. The most practical way to
do it that we can think of would be for
the assessors to ascertain every mans
politics and designate it after his name on
the poll books, and provide that the voter
should be given the ballot such designa-
ton warranted, and no other, unless he
could prove that his politics had been
wrongly designated.
There are number of other important
amendments that should be made TO our
ballot laws, the most vital of which is the
restriction OF the use of money in elect
ions.
The practice of hiring workers has be-
come so general that wholesale bribery is
INDUCED in under the guise ofemploying
disseminators Conformation or watchers.
Severe laws should be enacted to prevent
this, otherwise the corrupt tradic in votea
will continue until nominations and
elections will ultimately become a mere
matter o. barter and sale.
II is sincerely to be hoped that the next
Legislature will give us something
effective in the way of corrupt practice

Hulings Petition Dismissed In Elk.

In a lengthy opinion handed down at
Ridgway Wednesday, Judge Harry Alvin
Hall, dismissed the petition of Gen. HUI
lings for a recount of the votes cast at the
recent Republican Congressional nomina-
ton in Elk county. The Court stated
that after careful consideration of the
petition for the opening of the ballot
boxes he has decided that the petition
must be dismissed for the reason that it
does not set forth any specific act of fraud
committed in any election precinct of the
county as required in said act. The costs
are to be paid by the petitioners. The
opinion is in many respects similar to
that of Judge George S. Criswell, of We
mango county, who dismissed the petition
of friends of General w. j. Hulings who
sought to contest the nomination of Hon.
Peter NJ. Speer as the Republican candi-
date for congress in the Twenty-eighih
district.

Discord in Both Parties.

No effort is being made TO conceal the
fact that Il lively fight is now on for the
Republican nomination for President
The fight, of course, is between President
Taft and Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
Friends and advocates OF both candidates
have on their fighting togs and are yield
ing no point in the contest. The prize,
however, is worth the fighting and it is
generally conceded that the Republican
candidate for the presidency will win.
Pennsylvania has gone through that
turmoil. The Republicans had their pre-
liminary skirmish and the Roosevelt
followers won. That fact has not dis
couraged the followers of President Taft
They are stripped to the belt ready to
fight for the nominee for President as
we'll as for the various nominees of the
party.
That condition does not exist in the
Democratic ranks. Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis are for Gov. Woodrow Wilson for
President. II they do not get their candi-
date they are certain to be at war with the
nomination and are not willing even TO
offer an excuse for their defiance.
Those Democrats from Pennsylvania
who happen to be members of the United
States Congress at this time are not for
Gov. Wilson. They are for Champ Clark
and would be delighted to switch the
Pennsylvania delegation at the first possi-
BILE opportunity. They will not go along
with the nomination unless Clark is
nominated.
In the mean time all indications point
to the nomination of w. j. Bryan by the
Democrats and history has already re-
corded that the people of the country are
not willing to have Mr.. Bryan for Presi.
dent. They like him in any other ca
pscity but they are afraid of him as their
chief executive.
While the Republicans are certain ol
electing their candidate they are making
most of the political noise, but the fac.
tional feeling among the Democrats is as
strong if not stronger than the feeling
among the Republicans of the country
Pennsylvania Democrats are hOpelessly
divided while Pennsylvania Republicans
are together.
The same conditions exist in every
State in the union.
