ROOSEVELT

The hunter, firing of the chase
Across the hills and streams.
Has drawn his blanket to his face
And lost himself in dreams.
The soldier, SCARED and scanned by war
Is wearied of the fight
Nor all the thunders of Thor
Shall break his rest this night
The orator, whose voice was heard
Above the crash of day,
Now-how we startle at the word,
The Word he does not say.
The statesman--he whose whisper rolled
Thru corridors and halls,
Has sought the quiet clustered fold
OF ancient earthly walls
The author drops his heavy quill
What forceful words are penned?
The whole world leans to read their thrill
And reads but this:

ELECTION MIDDLE
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Charleston Public to Be Preferred to
Personal Ambition and fractional
Strife.

The supreme court yesterday dis
missed the petition brought to the
court yesterday morning by counsel
for Mayor Tristan 7. Hyde of Char
lesion for writ of certiorari to COM
pei the city Democratic executive COM
mittee to submit the records and 9th
cr data in connection with the recent
action and the declaring Of John p.
Grace the nominee for mayor. The
write also asked that the committee
be compelled to canvas the contested
ballots, the throwing out Of which
wiped out the majority Of Mayor
Hyde over Mr.. Grace.
The court emphasizes that the dis
missal calls for the end of the pro-
longcd litigation and the composure
of the public mind. "Thcrc is a third
party to the controversy. That .arty
is the public of the city of Charles
ton. Further litigation is not only
brought to an end by the bar of the
day of the (gencraD election, but the
great public, not concerned in the con-
tcntions of the parties thereto, is to
be preferred to personal ambition and
factional strife. 1t calls for the end
of litigation and the composurc of the
public mind"
The court divided on the issue. The
majority opinion was written by AS
sociatc Justice Gage and was concur
red in by Chief Justice Gary and Asso-
ciatc Justice Watts. The dissenting
| opinion was filed by Associate Justice
Ilydrick and was concurred in by AS
socatc Justice Fraser.
Last week the court in a majority
opinion declared the election null and
void Associate Justice Hydrick re-
minded that the court in the first case
| declared neither Mr.. Hyde or Mr..
Grace the nominee, because the nomi-
nation was illegal and it was ordered
set aside. Continuing the petition out
lined the litigation before the court
in the election case, in which an opin-
ion was handed down that the court
could not assume that W. Turner Lo-
gan, chairman, and the members of
the committee would not declare the
results Of the primary according to
law.
"lt appears now from the verified
! petition of Mr.. Hyde inat the commit
tee did not do what was assumed it
would do, but that it met, on Novem-
Der 25, and, by its action and method
of procedure, practically set at naught
and nulificd the decision of this court,
for its procedure was clearly contrary
to that which we had pointed out to
be the proper procedure in clear and
unmiStakablc terms. l can not con-
sent to an order which, l.. effect, al
lows a party to cause to set at
naught and nullify decision of this
court in that case"
Contending that the committee has
plenty of time to make an inveStiga-
ton Of the rejected ballots of which
II wcr challenged votes and IA mutt
lated ballots, before the date of the
; general election, the dissenting opinion
holds that Mr.. Hyde has the right to
have this done and that the court in
assuming jurisdiction of the case de-
cided that he had acquired rights un-
! der the primary election statue and
the rights should be protected and
enforced by the courts.
