Gossip as to Republican
Delegates.
Special to Times-R Republican.
Des Moines, May S.-The class OF can
didates for admission to practice law
which appeared before the supreme
court this morning was very large
one, numbering eighty-seven, but not as
large as last years, when there were
ninety three. The examiners for this
lterm are as follows: Milton Remley, at
torney general; j. II. Henderson, Indi-
anola; E. c. Roach, Rock Rapids: G. G.
Saunders Council Bluffs; Charles Ba-
kerr Iowa City; John Cliggitt, Mason
City, and G. b. Jennings. Shenandoah.
The class being so large, it will be di-
lvided into two parts for the oral exam
lination. When the new law takes effect,
4 requiring three years course of study
preceded by three years high school
/ course, or its equivalent, the supreme
court will appoint examiners for a term
of two years. This law takes effect
year from next July, so that the stu
i dents who commenced to study law
when the requirement was for a two
4 years course only will be able to finish
in two yearsas they had planned.
1t is not likely that the appointments
Il to the state veterinary commission will
be made until after Governor Shaw re-
turns from the Methodist conference at
d iChicago. The law requires that the ap-
/ N|pointments shall be made within sixty
days after the bill takes effect, and it
took effect Mays, when the governor
approved it,
Secretary Van Houton of the state fair

persons and organizations who want to

unwilling to pay for the privilege. Peo-
.lIple do not seem to understand what II
i means to the society to open up the

/ a herd OF about 300 cattle is now being

y they would have to be taken out If the
q grounds are opened. The society has {
