TAFT GAINS IN KANSAS CASE

U. 8. Supreme Court Partly Reverses Lower Tribunal on Question of Roosevelt Electors. New York, Aug. 2.—The action of the Kansas state courts in refusing to order the names of eight Roosevelt candidates for presidential electors stricken from the primary ballot was partly reversed by Justices Van Devanter and Pitney of the United States Supreme court. While these justices granted the application of the Taft men for a writ of error, directed to the Kansas supreme court, their decision does not constitute a final victory for the regular Republican organization. Under Its terms the fight of the Roosevelt candidates to have had places on the primary ticket will be decided by the full bench of the Supreme court when that tribunal holds its next regular session In October. Meanwhile the names of the. Roosevelt men will appear on the ballots at the Kansas primaries next Tuesday. The effect of the decision is to leave the whole Kansas controversy suspended until October.
