President Mckinley has selected f,is
running mate on the national ticket,
and the name is William Boyd Allison
II has been ascertained that for month
past President Nc kinley has been anx-
ious to induce Senator Allison to accept
the vice presidential nomination. 1t is
deemed necessary to nave some strong
man from beyond the Mississippi toSrun
With Mckinley. II has been. urged upon
Allison that he is by far the stronges:
man with the masses between Tile sSiis-
sissippi and the Pacific coast, and the
president believes that with Alllson,s
cooperation the ticket would be abso-
lutely invincible.
Mckinley is sure OF carrying New
England and all the middle states. He
knows that Allison's name would be a
tower of strength not only insthe trans
Mississippi region, but in Illinois, Iowa
and Ohio. So urgent has been the presi-
dent that Allison has finally consented
to take the matter under serious advises
ment.
This is the reason he has left Wash
.ington to consult With his friends. He
owes great deal to the republican par
ity, and Is being pressed by some of his
sbest friends to accept the vice president
Icy nomination and thus round out his
career as the presiding 0hfcer OF the sem
ate, where he has served almost thirty
years.

recognized cases in this city, and the

Injunction Restraining Supervisors
From Further Canvassing New
Petition is Asked.
Court Also Asked to Compel Can.
vass Of the Petition First
Filed.
Dss Moines, April 2o.-rhe saloon ma,

Dss Moines, April 20.-The saloon mat
ter will come up In court this afternoon
before Judge Bishop on a writ OF certi-
orari which was granted Thursday. The
case will be argued in behalf of the
board and for the anti-saloon people on
the question as to whether or not the
court should issue an Injunction re-
straining the members of the board
from continuing the canvass of the petit
tion. The case will be heard at O'Clock.
1T is brought in the name Of A. X.
Campbell, who filed the petition of re-
monstrance with the board against the
canvass OF the petition filed February
%.
Taking the matter into the courts
changes the scene of action for the pres-sl
ent from the room of the board of SUI
pervisors and today the Interested spec
tators of the saloon fight will be in at
tendance in the equity division room.
The petition for the writ of certiorari
lis based upon number of different
grounds. Chief among them is the claim
that the board has already entered upon
and that the second petition, or that
now before the body is fraudulent and
void and that the persons who witnessed
the signatures We're no. reputable per-
sons. 1t is also claimed that the notice
|;of the canvass of both petitions was
published and the anti-saloon people
had no means of knowing what was
goingsto be canvassed and therefore
We're not able to prepare for contest on
the second petition in the time afforded
before its canvass by the board. It is
claimed further that the board has no
Jurisdiction over the petition in that no.
tices of its canvass have not been prop
erly published and that it has not been
taken up at a regular meeting of the
board as provided by law
The board has not yet completed the
work of canvassing the petition, althoa
1T is proba BILE thai ii may complete the
work this evening. Before adjournment
Thursday, nearly 2.50G of the signatures
upon the petition had been passed upon.
Out of this number about seventy had
i'been passed for further examination.
This is not enough to invalidate the pc
ttition, even tho all of them We're de-
t.clared to be improper signatures, as the
saloon men have over 400 names to go
on over the required number on the PEE
Istition.
1t was thought early in the week that
the saloons would be opened before the
Tend of the week, but 1t is not probable
now that they will be opened until next
week. even tho Judge Bishop refuses to
4 Issue the restraining order. Some of the
isaloonkeepers are somewhat supersti-.
Etious and would not open on Friday un-s
8Sder any consideration. If the petition
i had beenp passed Thursday and they had
been entitled to open up today. they
would have remained closed until SAT-
urday So said one of the propriesors
