Laurel, N(b., Oct. 17.—Adam Mc Mullen, candidate for governor, ad dressed large crowds today at Platn vicw, Pierce, Randolph and lauirel. By compliance with request of friends lie stopped at Osmond and Belden for short visits. Bands were playing at Pierce and T^iurel when lie arrived. At Pierce E. t'. Houston, candidate for congress, met him and traveled with Mr. McMullen as far as Laurel, returning to Plalnview to hold a meet ing there tonight with Senator George W. Norris. The campaign Houston Is waging against Ed^par Howard, In cumbent, Is a record breaker. When Howard returned from his first term In congress he was In a too-proud-to rampaign mood. However, In the last month the Houston activities have confessedly startled Howard, and now the bob-haired Columbus man has swallowed Ids pride and Is conduct ing one of the most intensive baby kissing campaigns in progress in the state. Farmers in the Third district sre angered at Howard's vote against the Green resolution against tax exempt securities, which Is cited as one of 'lie reasons the farmers bear such a large burden of taxation. Howard's explanation is that such a resolution would call for a change in the con stitution and that changing the con stitution is dangerous. In almost the same breath, Howard, although a democrat, Is praising La Follette in his speeches and seldom if ever men tions the name of John W. Davis, the democratic presidential candidate. Houston, In his speeches, points out the following facts concerning tax free securities: ' “There are more than $14,000,000, 000 worth of wholly tax exempt se curities in this country. In 1910 tax able incomes over $300,000 produeed an income for the government tn ex cess of $092,000,000. In 1921 the revenue from this same source drop ped to $153,000,000. The government |lost about, $340,000,000 of its income because of tax exemption. “Who makes up this deficit? It Is being paid by the farmers, business men and property owners of the country."

Election System Wrong Albany, N, V., Oct. 17.—Secretary of State Hughes, delivering at a con vocation of the university of the state of New York an address which he introduced as non-political, spoke tonight in favor of retaining the original constitution balances estab lished between the supreme court and congress anil between the president ami congress. "The constitution of the United States is not n fetish," lie said. "Im partial consideration of existing con ditions should either heighten our re spect for the institutions which proved themselves to be adaptable to unforseen and unimaginable condi tions should aid us in securing ad visable modifications. Mere panegy ric or mere impatience with whatever exists are of little value." He said the charge of usurpation of power made against the supreme court lias been "in the Judgment of must persons competent to judge, dis proved.” It was not a question whether the United States subscribed to the doctrine of judicial review, for the constitution provided that. The question, said Hughes, was whether the nation should abandon that doc trine. Kleetion Is Wrong. "Where could the authority to pass upon the constitutional limita tions be lodged?" he asked. "Not with the executive, for that, would lie to make him supreme over congress. Not with the congress, for that would enable congress to escape all the lim itations of its powers and would make it supreme over the states. Not with the states, for that would en able the states to override all federal authority. "Either wp must abandon the prin ciple of duality or maintain the Juris diction of tin* supreme court of the United States to pass with finality upon the constitutional validity of legislative aits." The secretary of state declared it was "quite clear that the present ar rangement," for the election of presi dent "should be revised." In partic ular, the provision fur election by the house of representatives in case no candidate receives a majority of elec toral votes "is seriously defective." He also considered "deserving of serious consideration" whether the lerm of the presidency should not he extended to six years with non-eligi aillty for election to asecond consent live term. He compared the presi lential system, characterized by his torians as "built for safety, not speed," with the prime minister par liamentary system, affording "swift aess in decision and vigor in action." He concluded that the American ityle was most stable and therefore most desirably .Much Time Wasted. "There Is, however, the possibility if Improvement without weakening he executive and the congress," Hughes continued. "It ought to he possible for cabinet officers to take part in the debates upon matters louchlng their departments and thus in lie able to give exact information tnd to defend themselves against un lust attacks. A vast amount of lime is now being wasted In the congress iver things that are not and never were.” Referring to criticisms of the pres ent syste mof treaty making, with Ihe senate empowered to pass on the work of tlie president, Hughes said: 'It Is easy to make objections to the present arrangement hut it would he difficult to devise a better one. It should he remembered that very few treaties have failed of approval ill Ihe senate. In tire last 31 years this government has concluded 54 trea ties which were required to be sub milled to the senate. of these, 63 linve been sent to the senate and 47 already have been approved RUM VALUED AT $85,000 STOLEN Pittsburgh.
