New York, August 1—The action of Kansas state courts in refusing to or- der the names of eight Roosevelt can- didates for presidential electors strick- en from the primary ballot was par- tially reversed tonight by Justices De- vanter and Pltney of the United States supreme court., While these justices granted the application of the Taft men for a writ of error directed to the s courts, their decision does not constitute a final victory for the reg- ular republican organization. Under its terms the question of the right of the Roosevelt candidates to places on the primary ticket will be decided by the full bench of the supreme court at its next regular session in October, Meanwhile the Roosevelt men will have their names on the ballots at the Kansas primaries next Tuesday, The effect of today’s decision is to leave the whole Kansas controversy suspended until October, The proeeed- ings before Justices Van Dewvanter and Pitney assumes national importance in view of the broad gqustion invelved. This went outside the state political issue and took up the matter of fed- eral and state rights, Speaking broad- ly, this question -was whether the choice of presidential electors - was purely a state matter or whether it eould be supervised by the federal courts; in other words, whether elec- tors were siate officers oy federal offi- cers, The original action was brought by R Marks and twelve other Kansas cf to prevent the names of eight candidates for presidential electors, who bad said that If elected they would vots in the electoral college for Theodore Rooseveit, from being print- ed on the republican p ballot. Marks and his-associates decl that they signed the petition for the desig- nation of these eight candidates un- der the impression that if chosen they would abide by the decision of the re- publican natfonai convention. When the eight publicly declared themseives for Colonel Roosevelt, the regular re- publican organization set about having them debarred from places on the re- publican primary ticket on the ground that they had obtained their places by fraud and misrepresentation, The Kansas courts decided that they had no jurisriction In the case, since thg dispute was purely political and no attempt to pass on the merits of the allegations of frand was made. In making their applicatibn for a writ of error, the Taft men declared that the federal courts had jurisdiction to pre- vent the state of Kansas from depriy- ing any of itg citizens of their free right to express their cholce at the polls, They contended that in case the eight Roosevelt candidates were chos- en, the Taft men who sad signed their petition lost their right to vots for their choice for president. While this contention formed the basgis of the argument. the-success of the eight Roosevelt candidates at the primaries would put the regular re- pubiicans, they say, in an embarras- sing situation and endanger the chanc- es of their candidates for state offices by dividing the republican votes be- tween the columns headed respectively by the Roosevelt and Taft electors. In deciding not to interfere with the state primaries, Justice Van Devanter and Justice Pitney declared that the only way not to injure either was to let the primaries proceed wi the Rooseveit candidates on the ticket and await the action of the full court. It is understood that the court will decide the case before the general election in November and in time to keep the Roosevelt electors off the bal- lots in case the latter are defeated in the litigation. The only possibility that the court will not have to decide the cage is the remote one that none of the eight Roosevelt candidates will ‘be wuocessful at the primaries om Au- gust 6, In all there are tweaty can- didates for electors and “ten will be chosen, Twelve are declared Taft men.
