Y„ Oct. 31.—According to a decision rendered at about 11 o’clock last night by the court of appeals, the making of independent nominations by multiple petition was not contrary to the election statute. The decision af firmed the right of the Independence League to make such nominations. The finding Is a great victory for William Randolph Hearst and Ills Independence League. The court decides that the cer tificate hist hied had prior claim, and the Independence League had a right to designate Its own candidates. Candidates' Names Restored. The court held that the Judicial nom ination of John O. Brady could not be placed In the Independence League col umn, but that tlje following names were entitled to a place in the league column of the official ballot: Francis E. Shober, Tammany candi date In the Seventeenth congressional district; Charles V. Farmer, Tammany candidate In the Eighteenth congres sional district; Henry M. Ooldfoglc, Tammany candidate In the Ninth con gresslonal district. Judge Otto Rosal sky’s name will also go In the In' dependence League column, together with the names of three assembly and senatorial candidates. Mr. Hearst Pleased. The appeals In the other cases were dismissed on the ground that questions of fact were Involved which would have to be passed upon by the appellate d] vision, but as It would.be Impossible for the latter court to dispose of them In time to permit the priming of the official ballot, the cases will probably not be sent back for review. • Mr. Hearst was in Rochester last nlgfit when Informed of the decision of the court l(e said; "The victory’Is mitre than n victory for the league or for the candidates. It is a victory for all the people. It gives hope that In time we may also win the victory to have the people's vote cast at the last election honestly counted and the result honestly declared.''

BRICKLAYERS HOSTS AT SMOKER GEORGIA WATCHES BATTLE FROM AFAR; DEMOCRACY IS SOLID IN E VER Y DISTRICT By JOHN C. REE8E. While New York and a very large part of the rest of the country Is tom with political strife on the eve of the elections, November 6, Georgia sits quietly down to watch the battle lines. 80 far as any contests are concerned, they have all been settled, and on next Tuesday Georgia will go through the formality of electing eleven congress men and three judges of the. new court of appeals. Democracy Is so Impregna ble In the Empire State of the South that whatever strife Is known is among Democrats. Republicanism In Georgia Is a mere name when It comes to the ballot box. One memorable struggle has taken place In the state, and that was the 'fight In the First district to select the successor of the late Rqfus E. Laser. The seieclon 6f the man for the unex- plred term, ending March 4 next, was an easy matter. J. W. Overstreet, of Screven county, received the plum without opposition. But when It came to naming the candidate for the long term there was a merry row. In the special election to name the man two candidates tied. Shepherd and Brannen receiving 18 votes each. One Bitter Contest, long and bitter struggle followed, Neither candidate would yield an lech. The balloting continued over two months, and near a thousand batlots I were taken. It resulted always—Shep- I herd 18, BrAnnen 18. It promised to I go on indefinitely. Finally a com pro mise was reached. Judge Samuel B. Adams, of Savannah, was nominated. But the rejoicing was short lived. Judge Adams declined the nomina tion! Then the convention went nt It again, hammer and tongs. Maine old result. Then somebody played a*wlnning card. Charles G. Edwards, a well-known young Savannah lawyer, was offered ns u compromise. It smashed the deadlock to smlthor eons. The candidate offered had ’i brother ns a delegate. He went over to his brother's band-wagon with a rush, und he carried two more votes with him. So It will be Congressman Edwards down In the First after next March. In the Second district James M.

Y., to serve nine years. Three year*, four months and ten days were cut from his sentence for good behavior, but the law under which the commutation was made pro vides that If the prisoner le again con victed of any crime he shall serve out the remainder of his first sentence. It wa* not long before Stevens was again arrested and convlctfll In Roch ester, N. Y.. of breaking Into a post- office. H* was let off with a one-dollor fine In the Federal courts with the un derstanding that he had to serve out his time at Auburn. While ho was serving this last sen tence, which his habeas corpus petition Incidentally claims was a sentence of the stnte of New York and not of the Federal courts, he was transferred to the Federal prlsun at Atlanta. He has estimated that his sentence would have expired October 10 and acting on this reckoning, he Is having Warden Moyer hauled Into court to tell under what orders he is still held.
