Henry w. Austin and Percival q. Baldwin
elected November Republicans to the Illinois
senate from the Twenty and Eleventh Senatorial
Districts. The County Canvassing Board, which, it
should be remembered, is Democratic, issued
tifcate of election to both Austin and Baldwin because
it was evident that they had received plurality of the
votes cast But two members of the State Canvassing
Board, James Brady, state auditor, and VIM. Ryan,
Jr state treasurer arbitrarily and illegally, and with
out a hearing, unseated Austin and Baldwin and in
their places seated their Democratic opponents, Thos
Byrne and Joseph Strauss.
The reason assigned for the unseating of Austin
and Baldwin is based upon alleged irregularities in
the counting of the ballots in two precincts.
The Judges and clerks of election, in order to
time divided the into several piles and gned
separate teams to the work of counting them. Ryan
and Brady alleged that this invaldated the votes in
these precincts If their contention true would
also nvadate the in practically every precinct
in Cook county, for this method followed
throughout the county
The County Board which had all the facts before
it. denied that there grounds, legal otherwise,
for throwing out these precincts and one, not
even Brady Ryan, asserts that Austin Baldwin
did actually receive plurality Of the votes cast.
1t is worthy of remark that two of the members of the
State Board, namely Secretary of State Stevenson and

Austin and Baldwin Unseated by State Canvassng Board

Attorney General Lucy although they too are Demo
Gratis, refused to sign the Boards report. The At
orney General only withheld his signature but ex-
pressed the opinion that the State Canvassng Board
had right reject the certificate of election grant
ed by the County Board and there is supreme court
decision which sustains this opinion.
The purpose of unseating Austin and Baldwin is
evident. Brady and Ryan, acting i'll unison with Lee
O'Neal Brown and others of his k are determined
to organize and control the in the inter
est of certain legislative measures in which they
interested. Whether Austin and Baldwin finally
seated by the senate not, they hope through the
of Strauss and Byrne to gain control of the SEN
ate organization and hold it long enough to
plish their purpose
What Governor Dunno will do will be watched
with interest by the people of the whole state.
What he should do is clearly pointed out by the
following paragraph from editorial in the Chicago
News:
Governor Dunno Attorney General Lucey and Secretary of
State should free their minds of the deusion that
they pose innocent bytanders while Saorseect Austin
and Baldwin being made the victims of daring daylight
robbery The people of Illinois be fooled by folded
hands and uped eyes SIMULTANEOUSLY rolling They will have
deeper contempt for who play the of shy hypo
critics while helping the outrage than they will have for the
holder villains in the plot.

Is Tuberculosis and Noted Ex-
pert DenouneeS Attack Of
Christian Scientists.

NEW YORK CITY, Mar. 5--Re-
plying to an attack on. the move
ment for local tuberculosis hospitals
made BY the christian, Science
church, DR.. Herman NJ. Biggsss state
commission Of health Of New YORK
says in a statement pub ished TO-DAY
through the Journal Of Outaoor Lis
the officiaI organ Of the Nastpnai IA iAs-s
socfaticn for the Study and reYen-.
ton OF Tuberculosis, that eEca-3
losis is an infectious disco ana
that every pFecaution known 1ould
ne taken, especially for the proeee-
ton OF young children. He par
tIcularlyS urges local hospitals
The occasion oe DR.. Biggs's state
ment IS the recent wide ulstrlDu-
ton OF an article purporting to show
that Tuberculosis is not infectious:
BY quoting only part OF a meoacal !
paper written by DR.. e. Z. BaldWlnl,ii
of saranac Lake, the CnIls glaal
Scientists have given the impression
that tuberculosis is not infectious,
when, as a matter Of fact, DR.. Bala-
win laid stress on the extreme dan
ger of the disease to children.
tuberculosis is an infectious and
communicable disease says Ut
Btggs mo age Is exempt and NO
one is immune against Ou6erculosl
injection, but differences in suscep-
tfbilIty exist at different ages. The
frequency of infection increases rap
idly from the first year until at the
age of fifteen perhaps seyenty-nve
per cent of the population snow
positive reaction to tuberculosis, al
though only small proportion nave
signs of the disease which can Dc
detected by other means.
THE conviction has been grad
uaHy strengthened that the first IN
fections from tuberculosis often oc-
cur ,1urfng infancy and chiIdhooA,
1t seerns probable that many of those
who develop the disease in adult ne
have carried the latent 1nfectlon
since childhood, and have no recent
and new infection when the symp-
toms of the disease appear.
cit has also been found by expert
ment that 1t is difficult to re--tnnect
an animal that has already been pre-
4yiously inoculated with tuberculosis.
Hence, it is inferred that some de-
gree of immunity may be thus pro-
duced that may serve to ward on
| bacillt which might find lodgment
i'm an individual not previously in
lfected Therefore, it will be under
stood how the mild infections which
are healed and present in most per-
sons who have reached adult agel
may, and presumably do, offer some
protection against further limited
tinvasfons OF the tu'bercie bactlA.
While persons are in good health the
protection thus offered is an adj
vantage having some resemblance
to vaccination, but only very Limited
in nature and not complete. Pro
llonEed or Intimate exposure, how
