Former President Harrison concentrates on legal work not seeking the next presidency. He reports cash receipts of 69000 from three major cases and 10000 for sixteen lectures at Stanford University. Additional, less lucrative cases help meet expenses and save for uncertain times. Friends say he may eventually devote himself fully to office work rather than court appearances.

Unconstitutional six-candidate limit for Superior Court voting
Judge Simonton ruling in Harrisburg last Saturday declares the six-name limit in the 1895 act creating the Superior Court unconstitutional. Judge McPherson concurs. The decision favors Olmstead and supporters who argued voters should be able to elect seven judges, with the case to be appealed to the Supreme Court in Pittsburg. The opinion holds that the phrase shall be entitled to vote at all elections means voters may participate, and when multiple officers are elected together, their vote may extend to all members, not just some. The court rejects partial voting and minority representation limits as unconstitutional, directing judgment for the Commonwealth.
