do not think it is we'll for Cummins
candidates to be running against

Il think the presidential primary
law is faulty. A man swears to
carry out the wishes of his constitu-

st. Paul, Mimi, February IL
The state supreme court today
dismissed the action brought to
nandamus Secretary of State Ju-
Illus A. Schmahl to strike from the
presidential primary ballot the
names of certain candidates for
delegate to the national repubIi-
can convention. This action was
taken by the supreme court on
the motion of the complainant
himself, H. j. West, a st. Paul
attorney, who represents the
Cummins managers. His reasons
for having the case dismissed
have not been announced. The
action was brought by Mr.. West
on the allegation that the can
didates of whom he complained
had filed as Cummins men, but
were really working in the inter-
est of the candidacy of Henry D.
Estabrook. Some of the candidates
withdrew their names voiuntar-
lily, but three remained and pre-
pared to put up a fight. Their
attorney, =. A. Pike Of st. Paul,
was on hand today to make the
fight for them, but he was in
formed that the other side had de-
cided to drop the action.

of tho country.
For tho production tho stage had been
built out to include the orchestra pit
space. and the 80 male and female
members Of the chorus occupied q stand
built tier above tier at the hack OF

II they are the right sort. see to it
that the young people have a chance
to enjoy themselves.
The great thing about this Dance
she continued, lis that there is no
thought of police supervision or any
thing of that sort. The fathers and
mothers. who are the natural chape-
rons, are here. The atmosphere is as
sweet and lovely as it would be in the
best of homes"

Directing attention TO the vast
of the War Department were called
upon to perform without extra pay
during the Spanish American war, and
predicting that an even greater amount
of extra service Is in prospect should
another war be forced upon this ma
ton, John T. Dillon, chief of the cor
respondence division of the office of
Representative James a. Gallivan rela-
tive to the Borland amendment The
communication follows:
Local papers announce that YOU
contemplate looking into the merits of
the Borland amendment to the pend
ing Legislative bill, intended to increase
by one hour the working day of all
government employees in the executive
departments here
AS more or less pertinent to that
subject, I take the liberty of inviting
your attention to House document No.
24S, Fifty-ffth Congress, third session,
which publishes the record of over
time work performed by War Depart
ment employees during the Spanish
American war. This shows that up
ward of $4,000 days of extra service
was rendered by these employees during
that period, for which they received
no compensation. Had this extra labor
been performed for corporation,
private Individual. or under an eight
hour daily schedule. compensat alton
therefor could not have been withheld.
Should another war unfortunately en-
sue. like extra labor, probably in far
greater volume, would in all probable
ity be required of War Department
employees.
