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 an<j his Independence League. The court decides that the cer tificate first filed 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 G. Brady could not be placed in tne Independence League col umn, but that the 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. Goldfogle, Tammany candidate In the Ninth con gressional 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 di vision, but as It would be impossible for the latter court to dispose of them In time to permit the printing of the official ballot, the cases will probably not be sent back for review. Mr. Hearst was In Rochester last night when Informed of the decision of the court. He said: "The victory Is more than a victory for the league or for thfe candidates. It Is a victory for all the people. It gives time we may also win the EAGANUK PEOPLE T BETTER El hope thai In .

Patients do not suffer ns 1s 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 Rufus E. Leser. The seleclon of the man for the unex plred term, ending Mnrch 4 next, was nil 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 namovthe man two -candidates tied. Shepherd and Brannen receiving 18 votes each. One Bitter Contest. A long and bitter struggle followed. Neither candidate would yield an inch, j The balloting continued over two : months, and near a thousand ballots I were taken. It resulted always—Shep- j herd 18, Brannen 18. It promised to i go on Indefinitely. Finally a compro- I mlse 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 at It again, hammer and tongs. Same old result. Then somebody played a winning card. Charles O. Edwards, a well-known young Savannah lawyer, was offered as a compromise. It smashed the deadlock to smither eens. -The candidate offered had a brother as a delegate. He Went over to his brother's hand-wagon with rush, and he carried two more votes with him. So It will lie Congressman Edwards down In the First after next March. In the Second district James M. Griggs had prospective opposition early In the year, but It melted away very quickly. Judge Griggs has been In congress for ten years. While he is not worrying about his own election, he Is troubled about scores of others, for he Is chairman of the Democratic con gressional committee. Elijah B. Lewis had to fight to hold his place In \ the Third. Crawford Wheatley and Dudley M. Hughes both went after his scalp. Senator Wheat- ley quit before the time was out, but Colonel Hughes stuck to It to the finish. Sir. Lewis was re-elected, or rather re nominated, which means the same thing down there. He has served his district ten years. William C. Adamson, of the Fourth, hasn’t had opposition In so long that few can remember when somebody did ay to try for the Job, He has been Tuesday night.

FEDERAL PRISONER CLAIMS HIS LIBERTY UNDER LA W John Stevens, known at the Federal prison, where he is Incarcerated, as convict No. 866, will be, brought before Judge William T. Newman, of the United States district court. Friday and will be allowed to tell, through hla attorney. Hon. J. K. Hines, why ho should be set nt liberty. Here are the grounds on which he bases his claim to liberty: Btevens was convicted May 1, 1897, In the courts of New York for man slaughter and was sent to the peni tentiary at Auburn, N. Y„ to serve nine years. Three years, four months and ten days were cut from his sentence for good behavior, but the law under which the commutation was made pro- vtdes that If the prisoner Is again con victed of any crime he shall serve out the remainder of his first sentence. It was not long before Btevens was again arrested and convicted In Roch ester, N. Y., of breaking Into a post- office. He wss let off with a onc-dollar fine In the Federal courts with the un derstanding that he hod to serve out his time at Auburn. While he was serving this last sen tence, which his habeas corpus petition Incidentally claims was a sentence of the state of New York and not of the Federal courts, he was transferred to the Federal prison 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 ha la still held. 1,350,000 BALES WILL BE TILE YIELD FOI< MISSISSIPPI Special to The Georgian. • Jackson, Miss., Oct. 31.—President Clark, of the Mississippi Cotton Asso ciation. has given nut an official state ment In which he says that from a careful study of the situation he be lieves that the cotton crop of the state wilt be 1,360,006 bales.
