having received 254 first and 1l5
second choice, making "a total of 500
votes, is nominated.
1t is self EVIDENT that a voter may
lose both his first and second choice
vote, in the event both his first and
second choice are eliminated on the
first choice count However, there is
nothing new in this fact, for one
often lost his first and second choice
candidates under the old primary
law. The most complicated feature
under the primary law of 1913 arose
when canvassing the second choice
votes where two candidates were to
nominated and five or more were
running; for instance, in the coun-
ties electing two members to the
house of representatives. But this
perpleXing feature has been eliminat-
ed where two or more are to be nomi-
mated by requiring candidates to an
nOunce in group one or two, accord
i, ingly as to the number of candidates
to be nominated.
Section of chapter 6S74, acts of
1915, amending the Bryan primary
law of 1918, reads as follows:
Sec. s. That section 50 of the
said act to be amended so as to read
as follows:
Sec. % In the event more than
one candidate is to be nominated for
| the same Office and there are more
| candidates than should be nominated
| therefor, there shall be as many
| groups of candidates for that par
| tcular office as there are candidates
to be nominated. and each candidate
for such office, in addition to the
sworn statement required by section
% hereof, shall indicate therein the
group in which he desires his name
to appear on the ballot. and said
groups shall be numerically desig
mated. Provided, however, that can
didates for delegates TO national con-
groups, but by plurality vote.
The above amendments to section
- will simplify the canvass as the
voters in each group will be counted
exactly as in the manner provided
where only one candidate is to be
nominated.

MANY BILLS BLOCKED
BY SENATOR TOWNSEND
Michigan Man Withholds Unani-
nous Consent Until His Retirement
Measure Is Acted Upon.

Senator Townsend of Michigan deter
mined to get action by the Senate on the
bill providing for a civil war volunteer
officers retirement list. which has been
favorably reported to the Senate and is on
the calendar, today persisted in refusing
to allow any other measures to be taken
up by unanimous consent. Senators saw
their bridge bills and other measures
which are urgent go over at the instance
Of Senator Townsend. who has given no.
tice that he will object to any measures
being passed by the Senate by unanimous
consent until the Senate is willing to
take up the calendar, reach his bill and
come to vote on it. Southern senators
are strongly opposed to the bill, though
admittedly a majority of the Senate would
vote in favor of it.
Senator Townsend. after stating that
he realized his position was causing many
of the senators sorrow because they had
important bills they desired to put
through by unanimous consent, bills that
ordinarily would pass without objection,
asked unanimous consent to have his bill
voted on two weeks from today. But
Senator Bryan of Florida objected to this
arrangement.

VERY LITTLE PROSPECT Of
REACHING AN AGREEMENT
Democratic Senators Regard 1t I'm
possible to Draft Shipping Bill
to Suit Republicans.

Democratic and republican members of
the Senate commerce committee came in
to definite parting of the ways today
so far as any prospect of an agreement
over the government shipping bill is con-
cerned. Democratic senators fatty de-
clared that 1t would be impossible to
draft a bill to build up the merchant
marine which the republicans would ac-
cept without sacrificing every principle
which the House bill contains and for
which the administration stands
The problem facing the democrats now
is to devise a bill which can command
unanimous democratic support and to
lorce vote on 1t in the Senate in spite
OF determined republican opposition
Such a course inevitably will lead 10 a
proiongation of the present session If it is
decided to make the fight

HUGHES BECOMING A COMMON
 GCOI ID

Charles Evans Hughes is an accomplish ed side stopper. There never was an aspir- ant for public office who has passed up so many interrogations without satisfactory an swers as has the ex-Chief Justice. His art of lodging the question is only equaled by his mastery of sophistry.
 When asked what HE would do in the case of Mexico, his reply was q am asked what I would do with respect to Mexico if am elected president. Now, no man on earth can tell what sort of mess he will find in Mexico next March. There are certain prin- ciples that can be laid down that we propose to adhere to. If I am trusted with executive responsibility, I propose to adhere to them An instructive answer, indeed. He does not tell us what those principles are, nor in what manner he intends to adhere to them.
 The most assidious student of his re- cent harangues has been unable to ascertain how he stands on any matter of import now occupying the attention of the American peo- pie.
 The tenor of his speeches would indicate that the aspirant for the presidency on the Republican ticket IS a common scold.

THEODORE.

Theodore Roosevelt is proving himself ir this campaign, one of the most accomplish ed acrobats in the political arena.
 Four years ago he was booted and spur red, astride oi the Big Bull Moose, today he is mounted on the G. O. P. Elephant and riding at the crack of the whip of the Stand Pat ringmasters, and his somersaulting would arouse irrisibiity in a confirmed hypochondrac.
 After bringing the old party who honor ed him so much, to absolute disintegration and vowing from the rostram that he would never again associate himself with the stand patters of the Chicago Convention, we find him once more in the embrace of Penrose, Barnes ct al, advocating their return to pow CT in the government of the country.
 The bright rays of the jewel of consis- tency never penetrated the misty film that en- shrouds the political principles of Thodore Roosevelt.

 have your inquiry as to Senator Ash urst and it gives me great pleasure to say to you with frankness that no one man who has been in the senate for the past ten years during which I have lived in Washington has grown more in the public esteem or in capacity as statesman than has Senator Ashurst. He is strong with his colleagues who admire his fearlessness and who know the sincerity of his sympathy with the great mass of the people His position as chair man of the Indian committee has enabled him to do more for Arizona Ill the past four years than any other man has been able to do for his own state I wish there were more men with his zeal, earnestness and straight forwardness in congress.
