Earl Munson. an executive in the
same campaign. A. Brigham Rose.
attorney for the trustee, asked him
if he was familiar With campaign
disbursements
"Yes, if you have reference to
the 100000 or 100000 spent from
the primary to the election. " ".Thomp-
son replied
He alleged that Munson received
5000 a week during the campaign
from Robert Cans, reputed slot
machine overload, but he admitted
he had not seen Cans pay the
money. Munson's attorney moved
that the testimony be stricken as
hearsay, but Referee in Bankruptcy
Franklin D. Mccarthy denied the
motion, holding the statements per-
tinent.
Following Thompson on the stand

line, and the cruel John saw to it
that the little boy was most effectively
removed. But beside all this. the
wicked monarch was declared King
by Parliament and in his coronation
sermon the Archbishop of Canterbury
said boldly: 1T is we'll known to YOU
all that no man hath right of success
sion to this throne, except that by
unanimous consent of the kingdom,
with invocation of the Holy Ghost, he
be elected for his own deserts. II,
indeed, Of the family of the deceased
monarch there be one then pre- emil
nently endowed, he should have our
preference"
Parliament, it would seem, has by
ancient usage the right of election
and might conceivably elect anybody
whatsoever-with the exception, under
existing law, of a Catholic. But by
tradition the person elected is always
the nearest surviving heir of the late
rules, so an actual election is un-
necessary unless circumstances arise
which make the presumptive heir, in
the opinion of the kingdom, a totally
unfit person for the Office. Moreover,
more than one person can be elected
and rule jointly-as man and wife in
the case of William and Mary. Other
wise it is difficult to see how England

at the same time.
In the final analysis, it would seem,
q queen consort has a part In a cor

her husband-however strongly this
courtesy may be dictated by tradition,
This is borne out by the fact that little
over century ago a most obnoxious
cad-a!though he prided himself as

ordered his wife, with whom he was
not living at the time, barred from

it.

Queen Charlotte arrived at the door

ers barred the way and requested to

This is your queen" said Lord
Hood Surely it is not necessary for
her to have a ticket?"
Our orders are to admit no person

But this is the queen" Hood re-
peated
Queen Charlotte smiled sWeetly.
