Nominees, Ruling
COURT DECISION

J. F. T. sO'Connor, Democratic can
didate for governor. is the nominee OF
his party regardless Of the number OF
votes he obtained in the primary cleo,
ton, in the opinion of William LANCER.
Acknowledgement.
In a reply to H. A. Hanson, states
attorney at Bowbells. Mr.. LANCER gives
the opinion requested, and sets out
the decision Of the supreme court IN
the case of Ed. Allen, states attorney
of ,Burleigh county,, against, T. E. Flah-
erty, county auditor.
Section Attacked.
The section Of the statutes on which
the theory that O'Connor is not the
nominee of his party is as follows:
"If the total vote cast for any party
candidate or candidates for any office
for which nominations are herein pro-
vided for shall equal less than 25 per
cent of the average total number OF
votes cast for governor, secretary OF
state and attorney-general Of the po.
litical party he or they represented at
the last general election then, no NOM
ination shall be made in that party for
such office"
Quotes the Court.
Mr.. LANCER quotes the supreme court
decision that this section sis uncon-
stitutional. in that it's provisions are
arbitrary. unnatural and lack uniform.
ity in the different counties of the
state and does not provide standard
for determining the basis for classifi-
cation which is staple and constant
throughout
1t appears that the total vote cast
for Mr.. O'Connor, in the recent PR
mary. will not be more than $500, as
compared to approximately 114,OOO
Republican votes cast. Doyle, the
Democratic candidate for governor in
1918. got 36,733 votes.
ERROR IN VOTE.
An error in reporting the vote for
railroad commissioner to the secretary
If state was reported today by Charles
E. Fouts, of McHenry county. He re-
ported that the vote previously given
E. J. Krueger. republican candidate
for railroad commissioner, should be
LOLA instead of 1874. An error was
made in adding figures, he said. The
change may have some bearing on the
official standing of Mr.. Kruger and
W.. II, Stutsman, another Independent
republican candidate, but will not af.
feet the nomination.

Blow to Grown Prince
Wieringen, : Holland, July 19.-The
tidings of the sudden death of Prince
Joachim came as a great blow to his
brother the former German crown
prince who only this morning learn
ed the news from his adjutant.
Prince Joachim was born Dec. II,
1890, inF Berlin. During the war he
served on the eastern and western
fronts, and was reported wounded on
the western front. After his recovery
he was transferred to the eastern
front.

His friends denied stories current
in Berlin today that his suicide was
brought about by scandal. They say
that outside from his martial disap-
pointments the prince was embarrass-
ed through his restricted finances.
Prince Joachim is also reported to
have been brooding over the ultimate
fate OF the former royal house and
the criticism to which his father has
been subjected in Germany.

The Threat to Starve

The unauthorized and illegal strike
of the railway employees brings
home more quickly than was antici-
pated the mistake committed when
the anti-strlke provis ion was taken
out of the Cummins-Esch act. The
reasons why railway employees may
not quit in concert have lost nothing
in cogency.
The walk-out, if not brought to a
speedy end, will make clear to the
public, especially to the urban pub
lie, the peril in which it lives. The
cessation Of traffic is not a blow d.
rected against the government, or
railroad owners, or the rich, but
against the masses Of people, who
find life quite as difficult as do rail-
road employees and who have as
much reason as they to demand wage
increases. Reduced to its smplicities,
the strike is an attempt by small
minority to hold up large majority
by threats of starvation.
A blow, as the officers of the
brotherhoods recognize, is also aimed
straight at the heart of union labor.
When discipline disappears from the
unions and no reliance can be placed
on agreements and on sense of
obligation to the public the unions
will find it difficult to maintain their
present proud position.
The temptation to parley and
compromise with selfish minorities
is strong. 1t will doubtless manifest
itself in the present juncture. But
some day, it is to be feared, there
must be showdown and decision
Either the public is to be master and
to rule in behalf Of the general inter
est or the masses must adjust them
selves as best they can, as the masses
have done in other ages, to the mas
terry of selfish class minorities.

The Lusk Bills
Licensing Of Teachers Is Cogcntlu
Criticized

10 the Editor Of The TRIBUNE.
Sir: In your editorial of A0r;l Won
are, believe, mistaken in not support
ing The City Clubs condemnation of the
three dangerous Lusk bills. Your areu-
ments In regard 20 the school licensing
and inquisitorial grand jury measures
are powerful; in regard to the cert;fca
ton of teachers, fear you are misin-
formed. If this bill required of the
public school teachers simply good moral
character and an oath of allegiance,
your arguments would stand. It re-
quires, however, far more, and is per
nicious chiefly for the two following
reasons:
l. Teachers now in the public service
who have, in this city, all been exam
med for good moral character and have
taken an oath OF loyalty 10 the govern
mcnt of the United States and to the
State Of New York, and very many of
whom hold licenses, issued in good faith
as permanent that is. during good
behavior, must be roaxamincd and sworn
in afresh. | submit that this measure
lmrugns the honor Of all of us who
are teachers; it questions the valid
ty Of our oaths. OF what public officer
would we require second oath during
the Same term of service?
2. Teachers may. if this bill becomes
law, be removed by the sole act of the
State Commissioner Of Education con
information. There is no provision
Tor proof that the information is cor
rect, or for hearing, or even for
stating the charges to the teacher re-
moved 1t would open the way for
removal Of teachers by personal enemies,
by scandajmongcrs, by persons of the
opposing political party, provided they
could obtain the ear of the ull-powcrful
Commissioner. 1t was Il long and hard
fight to take tho New York public
schools out Of politics and make the
teachers permanent, non-partisan public
servants. This bill would undo the
whole work and make every one de-
pendent on tho favor of the Commits
sioner, who is the appointee Of the
politically chosen Board Of Regents Of
the University of the State of New
York.
No teacher can be so dangerous as
this bill. If a teacher is really bad or
Is doing harm, let the fact be proved
openly in the manner now provided
let us not destroy the school system
of New York City to- get at few
individuals who disagree with the
majority. Q
