'Scroggy was regular and ordered his name placed upon the Republican ticket. The Supreme Court sustained that decision. The, Secretary of State recognized it by placing thename of Georgs A. b&v&upon the ticket for PresldentalEIeetor. In reachingits decision .the' Election Board decided that the Scroggy convention was irregular and illegal as representing the Republican party o f the Sixth District. “The regular convention, which had tjhe right to nominate candid dates fo r ' Congressman and Presi­ dential Elector, was Certainly tire only one which could legally select aCongressional Committee, In the face of this decision It appears to mo absured for to claim that your* illegal convention could Select a legal Congressional Committee. ' “The Election Board, .voted as follows: Five Republicans and three Democrats for Scroggy, one Republican and three Democrats for you. This was the only board,’ Court or committee to hear- the- evidenec. There wag no hearing at Chicago by any committee o f the Republican National Convention, notwithstanding this has been Maimed by some of your followers. “ As a member of the regular Con­ gressional Committee representing Clinton County, It is duty to see that tH#rdelegates to the Xenia conven­ tion areselected m accordance with, the rules adopted by the committee ouJanuary £5. These rules do not recognize the. primary election of last September but specifically state that conventions or primaries Mitstbe held after January £8,1906, forthe purpose of choosingdejegates andalternate,vto the Xenia..conven­ tion. ■ ■■■. “As.I opposed your indorsement Sttho primary held in this county hst year, I now Stand ready to abide by its results and support it's nomi­ nee.’ provitliug you will first agree towithdraw the call for the conven­ tion at 'Wilmington, March 15, to participate in the convention at Xenia, March 20, and to support its nominees. If you will agree to do this, I will arrange for. the selection of delegates and alternates by either a county mass convention, delegate convention or county primary as yon may prefer, and will do all in my power to secure for you the right to name them, nor do I think you wilt meet with‘ any opposition by my friends, “ 1 shall not oppose your efforts to secure the nomination at Xenia March£0, hut if you refuse to recog­ nize that convention it is my duty to ec o that Clinton County is repre­ sented, and I will at once take steps in that direction. You ore re­ ported as having said *1have every­ thing to gmu and nothing to lose,’ If youWill show a truer appreciation of your obligations to the party which has so signally honored you hi thepast, you cannot, do otherwise than follow the above suggestion and thus end a fight which may re* sulfcdiuasfroaoly, “ Sincerely trusting that you will conclude to act upon the motto, ‘Not for self hut for the Republican party,’ I have the honor to remain yours truly. “ ,r. fi. DrrwEy.” I ’oaerccsm&n Theodore Burton, Repahlicftp, of Cleveland ad-, dressed -.the General Assembly' Tuesday evening on the change in the present ballot laws, The spealuwwanreceived with tho great- ^i\st applause from both parties ir. . his .advocating the Massachusetts law, - where all names are listed alphabetically under the heads for different offices. There is no party : emblems and no straight voting ex- Cftptmn the presidential' electors. .Mr. Burton contended that more •power and responsibility must be placed with tho people, where it be­ longs and not with the “ Bosses of political parties. 'Re argued that this reform was necessary and was not radical legislation as the “ gang,, leaders were endeavoring to make people belelve. His, referance to the Espy bill which passed the Senate last week Was that It was only half a measurer in that it was not strong enough. He urged emancipation from* „the spirit of conservatism which required that new things should he safe things] as measured by professional politics. \Bc cour­ ageous-- and march onward, re­ membering that each man is re­ sponsible to his pwn conscience and next to his country.” “ There i$ no more reason why a city officer should be ’ chosen' because he' is a Republican, Democrat or Prohibi­ tionist than an officer of a hank Should be so selected, The Senate has passed the Huff­ man bill for better primaries, It now goes to the. House committee which has the, Bronson bill. One or the other of the measures will have to be selected. The Huffman bill makes the nominations of candidates mandatory’ by primary. AR-^andidates for county, township, municipal offices, justice ot the peace, members o f school board, members of the General Assembly, judges of the common pleas court, and the selection of central commit­ teeman for the different parties. The House has passed the 'Wertz MU creating the- round rate com­ mission. The members to be Tap- pointed by the Governor at a salary of $5,000 yearly, and to be subject to the removal of the Governor any time. The bill applies ,to all rail­ roads, steam and electric, freight and passenger lines and sleeping cars. Representative Stewart of Clark on Monday offered-fourteen bills at one tfme in the House for insurance regulation. The bills cover-most every phase of the insurance busi­ ness, even limiting the amount j>f. insurance a company can place on one mam Tho House on Monday took irom the committee on Taxation the Aiken bill raising the Dow tax to $1,000. The charge Was r .ado that this committee was enueavoring to kill the bill by delay. A vote was taken and the measurer placed on the calendar. HIS LAST TURN. C. A.
