WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The su
preme court today granted the request
of the department of justice for an Im
mediate issue of- the court’s mandate
in the Patten cotton corner case.
The mandate is the official notifica
tion to the federal court of southern
New York that the supreme court has
reversed the New York court’s holding
that the indictment against James Pat
ten, Eugene G. Scales, Frank B. Hayne
and William P. Brown for alleged con-
’ ‘-.piracy to corner cottftn, did not state
i offense under the Sherman anti-
i ust law. The effect of the issue of
.the mandate is to put the case before
the lower* court for trial.
In the regular course the mandate
would not have been issued until Feb
ruary 6, but Solicitor General Bullitt
requested its issue, stating^ that the
statute of limitation would run before
long in the case and it might posibly be
desired, in the case the indictment was
held bad on some points not concern
ing the construction of the Sherman
anti-trust, to bring new* indictments.
The effects the supreme court’s action
today will be to put the government
in position to press the case against
the defendants, and also R. M. Thomp
son, who was indicted on the same
charge, but did not question the con
struction of the Shermd-p law’, as soon
as the papers issued by the court? today
reach New York. Unless some settle
ment or further technical objections to
the indictments are made, the case will
proceed to trial.

ROOSEVELTS MANAGER
OPPOSES “SINGLE” TERM
OF CONTROLLING SENATE
Dixon Would Not Like to See
Six-Year Single Term
Amendment Adopted
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—An attack
on the proposed single six-year presiden
tial term as a measure advocated by “as
pirants for the presidency,” was made
in the senate today by Senator Dixon,
chairman of the—(Progressive national
committee, who declared he did not be
lieve there was any great public de
mand for the proposed change in the
constitution.
“If the truth must be stated,” he
said, “this resolution might better be
entitled *a proposed amendment to the
federal constitution for the’relief of cer
tain aspirants for the presidency of the
United States.”
The senator took up the Works res
olution proposing' the amendment, under
agreement to vote before the ’close of
the legislative day. Senator Paynter,
Democrat, offered a provision that when
the amendment should be ratified, the
president then in office should be en
titled to a six-year term. He declared no
question should be left open as to
whether it applied to President Wil
son.
“Wasn’t it your understanding that
Mr. Wilson was elected for a four-year
term?” asked Senator Dixon.
Senator Paynter returned tha£ the
amendment should be made so that it
would take effect immediately, notwith
standing who might be in office. Senator
Dixon’s retort was to suggest that it
be so changed that it would not apply
to “President-elect Wilson.” He de
clared that no amendment should be
adopted to the constitution that would
prohibit the people of the United States
from exercising their own judgment as
to whether a president should be re
elected.
Democrats Have 49 Members
Against 43 Combined Re
publicans and Progressives
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—With the
election yesterday of Willard Saulsbury
as United States senator from Delaware
the Democratic strength in the next
senate swung from the precarious fig
ure of forty-eight, or exactly one-half
the senate, to the safer total of forty-
nine, a majority of two.
Mr. Saulsbury’s eletcion, added to
the victory recently secured in Ten
nessee, assures the Democratic party
absolute control of the senate after
Majch 4. The vote of Vice President
Marshall would have been the decid
ing factor in any event, but the addi
tion of another Democratic vote to
the column gives the party leaders
what they believe to be safe margin
for tariff and legislative action.
Contests still exist in the legisla
tures 6f New r Hampshire, West Vir
ginia and Illinois with a total of four
senators to be elected, about whose
political affiliations doubt now ex
ists. A victory in any one of these
states would so materially strengthen
the Democratic party that the senate
would be completely removed from the
element of uncertainty. The attitude
of the Progressives and the Progres
sive Republicans upon tariff matters is
as yet unknown, but the margin of
strength promised to the Democrats
make it unnecessary, it is believed, to
count upon any combinations with the
Progressives.
Of the entire membership of 96
senators, 63 will hold over beyond
March 4. Of these 32 are Republicans
and 31 Democrats. The terms of 32
senators expire in March, and there is
in addition, one vacancy in Illinois.
Thus far 17 Democratic senators, have
been elected and the election of Sena
tor Bacon in Georgia is certain, mak
ing 18 Democrats to take the oath of
office March 4.
The opposition forces, including both
the Republicans and the Progressives,
have elected 11 new senators. The
senate, after Marcfi 4, will stand as
follows if the deadlocks are not
broken in Illinois, New Hampshire and
West Virginia: Democrats, 49; Re
publicans arid Progressives, 43; vacan
cies, 4.

COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 30.—In trans-
mitting the list of pardons and paroles
granted last year with the reaeons
therefor, Governor Blease scores his
enemies in a caustic manner. Clemency
was exercised in 190 cases, making a
total of over 500 for the two years of
Governor Blease’s administration. The
message in part, says: ; ' * ■■ i
"I want all of my acts as governor
of South Carolina to be known to the
public. 1 am not afraid of them, for
the indorsement which I received from
72,243 of my white fellow-citizeng, is
pretty strong proof of the fact that my
administration was indorsed, and if the
machine had given m e all of the votes
that were cast for me, and my oppo
nents had not used money, whisky and
intimidation, instead of being 73,243 A
it would have been at least 90,000, as I ,.*■

palgn; and as a very large number of ' ,
my fellow-citizens now .believe, fully
feeling that I was not given all of the
votes which were cast for me, besides
the ones which were taken from me for.
the reasons Just above mentioned.”
"HELP PROM ALMIGHTY," !
Referring to his re-election he says:
"My people gave me my reward a sec
ond term as governor of my state and 1
believe that my reward hereafter will
come in due season, for I still believe
that only by the help of God Almighty
could I have won my first race and I

could X have defeated the unholy or
ganization that was formed against me
last summer by men of two different
factions, which hated each other then,
and who hate each other now, but were
willing to lie down and swap odors in
order to defeat Blease.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Jan. 30.—
