His voice was heard throughout the land. MeCormick—So I noticed from the returns. He helped us in the winning of the West. Roosevelt's Voice Interrupts. Here the voice of Theodore Roose- velt interrupted the colloquy, saying: “I am now devoting my attention to my duties as a grandfather.

Wold of Richland County Is That All Elections Shall Be by Secret Ballot (Special to the Tribune.) ‘Wahpeton, ‘N. D., Dec. 11.—North Dakota's absent voters act, by which thousands of state voters expressed their preferences in the recent elec- tion, is unconstitutional, because it destroys the secrecy of the ballot, ac- cording to the defense raised ‘by J. Wold, opposing the contest of R. W. McMichael for the office of Sheriff of Richland ‘county. ' In challenging the constitutionalit: of the absent voters act, Wold cites that provision of the: constitution which declares “all elections by the people shall be by secret ballot.” ‘Under the absent ‘voters’ act of the state, a voter receives his ballot from the county auditor, and returns it to that office, after marking it. ‘The aud- itor in turn sends it to the voting pre- cinet of which the voters is a resi- dent, and it is cast there. 4 The voter's. name, however, is Ma tached to:the affidavit that accompa! ies the ballot back to his home’ pré- cinct. In cases where only a singie vote of this nature is cast, the absent ballot is no longer a secret ballot, be- cause it is printed on different colored’ paper, and is headed by the words, “Absent Voter Ballot.” The question will be threshed out in the district court of ‘Richland coun- ty, before Judge Allen, with in a short | time. | TO ALLIED CRAFT New York, Dec. 11.—Warning was wirelessed to all Allied ships that a heavily atfhed steamship is in the steamer. lane, 500 miles north ‘of the were warned also, DEUTSCHLAND HOME SUNDAY Berlin, Dec. 11—The German com- mercial submarine, Deutschland, com- pleting a quick trip home from the United States, arrived at noon today of the mouth of the Weser.
