STATE. SAYS. .1ENOv.
Iowa Declines to Take Part in TeIe-
phone Company Boycott. -


DES MONIES, IOWA.-B BY direction of the
executive council. Governor Cummins to-day
transmitted to the Des Moines Trades and
Labor Assembly a letter, expressing the
councils refusal to remove the telephones
of the Iowa company from the state capitol.
Recently, representatives of the striking cleo
trical workers and operators appeared before
the council and asked that the Iowa phones
be removed. The council considered the re-
quest and by its direction the governor has
answered The gist Of the governors reply
is that regardless Of the individual sympa-
thies Of the members Of the council, that
body feels it has right to issue an order
that will make the state Of Iowa party to q
boycott.
The ordering OF the Iowa phones out -of
the buildings of the state would have been
a hard blow to the company. In all, there
are, thirty instruments of the company in
the capitol,s@the historical building and the
pumping station. 81
Governors ECummins said last evening he
hoped to speak in the course Of the cam
paign in Minnesota. Illinois and Indiana. He
has received invitations to speak insall these
states. If possible, he will deliver several
addresses in each state in October.

MADISON, WIS.-The date for the second
district republican congressional convention
was fixed by the committee late yesterday
afternoon for Sept 3, the same day as the
democratic state convention. Portage was Sc
lected as the meeting place.
For more than an hour the committee was
tied, and 8, on the date for the convention.
The Dane and Jefferson county members
voted for September Is, which would enable
the caucuses to be held at the same time as
those for legislative nominees, while the
northern members wanted the convention held
Aug. rs. A compromise. was finally reached.
One effect tof the earlier date will be to
separate the congressional and legislative
contests, and in this both the Adams and
Dahle men see an advantage. g. E. Buell.,
who has been talked of as a third Dane
county candidate with the administration
backing, has not announced his candidacy
and it Is not now believed he will enter the
field. Neither is there any apparent founda-
tion that Congressman Dahle has adjusted
his differences with the governor, and will
have the administration support. So far the
governor has not given evidence of any in
tention to mix up in the congressional fight.
The state board of control holds it's regu-
lar monthly meeting next week, beginning
Monday afternoon. and it Is expected that a
warden of the state prison will be elected.
A superintendent of the state school for the
deaf at Delavan will also have to be chosen,
but this will probably be done at the fol-
lowing meeting. Superintendent e. P. Carey,
who is the republican nominee for superin-
tendent of instruction, will probably send
his resignation to the board next week, to
take effect about Sept. 1. :, IT, -
There is report that the prison warden
ship is practically settled, but members Of
the board insist that it is still an open ques-
ton, and that the decision will not be made

intended. If such permission can be obtained:
to expend the money on the construction of
800 miles of new road The county has only
few roads and this is preventing the open
ing of the land for farming purposes. 1t Is
planned to limit the amount to be expended,

by Attorney T. L. Mcintosh the representa-

county clerk to appear in court with the rec

were passed numerous tax settlements These
cases cover all the different kinds Of settle
ments made by the county board for years,
and, although these particular cases do not
involve great sums, If they go against the
property owners 1t will mean the loss OF
many thousands to different big property own
ers. Mr.. Mcintosh says the board has no
authority to make such settlements as have
been made. For instance, after certain taxes
were tied up for several years by law suits,
settlement was effected with the county board
at the rate of 40 cents on the dollar.
