La Toilette Would Modify
Nominating System Used
for 100 Years.

By ScrippS-H oi0Grd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Sen-
ator Robert M. La Toilette today
took steps to secure early considera-
ton of legislation providing for a
nationwide advisory referendum
vote on presidential candidates for
nomination before the national con-
vention meet in June.
He believes his bill has a chance
of passage, in spite of the fact that
it modif1es the presidential nomi-
mating system in use 100 years.
Senator George w. Norris, chair
man of the judiciary committee to
which the bill has been referred,
strongly supports the plan it con-
tains, and may be able to bring it
to the floor of the senate for an
early vote.
La Follette's bill provides the ma
chinery by which the voters of all
states may express their preference
among candidates within their
party, at the polls June 7, and every
four years thereafter.
Unless the American people are
offered a popular vote in advance of
the Chicago conventions, the Re-
publican nominee will be named by
delegates controlled by the use of
federal patronage" says La Toilette.
1.-THE Democratic nominee will be
named under the two-thirds rule as
the result of secret deals and trades
among the bosses of powerful politj-
cal machines in the larger cities Of
the country"

HEY TED NE

Linthicum resolution giving prohi-
hilton control back to the states.
Five Hoosiers voted aye. They
were: John w. Boehne, Evansville.
and Pettengill (both of whom had
already announced their stand), and
Glenn Griswold Of Peru, Democrats;
Albert Vestal Of Anderson, and VIII
R. Wood of Lafayette, Republicans.
Wood explained his vote was not a
wet VOTE" but that he voted aye
because he did not believe the judi
ciary committee should be permitted
to smother legislation. He would
have joined the drys on the final
vote on submission of the amend
ment.
Those voting dry were: Ludlow,
Larrabee, Garfield, Grove, Gilleu,

and David Hogg and Fred S. Pur-
nell, Republicans.

THE fathers Of this country
L (poor fellows exhibited rare
sagacity and wisdom when they
limited the term of a congressional
representative to two years.
There must be something in the
atmosphere of the house of repre-
sentatives, known to Washington
correspondents by the impolite but
not incorrect term of monkey
house" that changes an ordinarily
rather bright chap into a subject
f1t for an alienist's attention.
However, let us get to our stint.
No doubt you lately have been
reading g. great deal about the sales
tax now before the house, which is
expected to raise $6O0,0OO,0O0. A
third reader schoolboy can answer
the question as to who will pay by
saying simply us"
In fact, this is so plain that even
some of the Hoosier congressman
are climbing on the wagon of OPP
position.
OF course a primary is just around
the corner (not the one you're look
ing for) and an election is coming
up in November, so the boys want
to get in line.
So far five congressman, all
Democrats have announced against
the sales tax. They are: Eugene
Grove, Bedford; DR.. w. H. LARA
bee, New Palestine, who will repre-
sent part of this county next year
if nominated and elected; Louis
Ludlow, present Marion county rep
resentative; Samuel Pettengill,

 Bill Terry, first baseman of the New York Giants, has indignantly declined to take a 40 per cent cut in his $22, 900 a year salary of 1881, despite the fact that he fell down from .4O1 to .348 in batting for the two seasons. However, Terry may point out to the Giant manage ment that the dead ball slowed up hitters throughout the circuit last year. and his average was only a slight fraction below that of Chick Hafey, league batting cham pion.
 Mel Ott, Giant outfielder, who rfeused his first contract, expected a small cut on the basis of poor season, but not as great as the club had mapped out for him. Fred Fitzsimmons, roly-poly hurler, dis satisfied with his first offer, had a good 1881 season, ranking well up in earned runs allowed.
