Des Moines, Sept. Ex-senator e. II.
Hubbard, of Sioux City, who after the
4th of next March will be the new
member of the Iowa delegation to con-
gress, is attending supreme court in
the city where he has a number of
cases which call to the city most of
the leading members of the bar of
Woodbury. county. Senator Hubbard
appears as the representative in court
of number of corporations for whom
he has long conducted the legal busi-
ness, but he has a record which will
endear him to the workingmen Of the
cities of northwestern Iowa. 1t was
his eloquence that carried thru the
senate few years ago the petition to
| congress asking for the placing on the
federal statute books of the Hoar bill
in relation to government by inJunc
ton, and while in the senate he was
the consistent friend of legislation ask
ed Tor by the laboring men of the
state. Senator Hubbard is busy with
his court work, but expects to make
at least one speech in every county of
the district.
There is no call for it, however,"
said Senator Hubbard, "and the cam
paign could just as we'll be conduct
ed without any speeches. Everything
is one way in all that part of the
state. The very fact OF our over
whelming majority in the district will
result in one thing, however, and that
will be big vote in Sioux county for
my opponent, Mr.. Van Osterhout,
rntlst estimable man. He is popular
in his county and have no doubt. in
view Of the fact that the result in
the district cannot possibly be chang
ed, he will be given fine compliment
tary vote In his county. But the
campaign is going to be very quiet
from this time on. A few good meet
ings will be held, but there is feel
ing that nothing is to be gained by
making bit fuss"
was also before the supreme court
fine argument in damage case he had
here. Mr.. Dickson would make a fine
campaign if he should devote his time
to the same. He held a consultation
with Chairman Morrissey of the demo-
cratic state committee and agreed to
make number of speeches scattered
about over the state, just to make the
appearance of campaign. He will
not waste much time nor money on
the campaign.
In preparing the election informatio
in the state offices 1t is found there are
but two vacancies to be filled. One
is that in the Seventh judicial district
where A. P. Barker is the judge by ap-
poinment taking the place of p. B.
Wolfe. Judge Barker has already re-
ceived the bar nomination in the dis
trict and will not be opposed. The
other is in Wappello where the death
of A. w. Buchanan left vacancy in
the legislature Frank Epperson has
been nominated to take his place.
Few of the nominations have yet been
fled The republicans have filed their
papers for congressman in all but three
districts, and the democrats have filed
one and the prohibitionists in one. The
nomination by bar convention in east
ern Iowa will have to be filed by petit
ton.
President Funk of the capitol COM
mission is waiting for his last per diem
and expenses. He got left when the
other members of the commission We're
paid One day Deputy State Auditor
Brandt discovered that there was a
question whether the bills of the cap
itol commission could be paid on ap-
proval Of the governor or should go
to the executive council under the
Hayward law. The accounts of Shoetn-
gen and Cummings had been paid, and
the question came up on Funk's bill.
Now he is waiting for the attorney gen.
eral to decide But a good many sim
liar accounts and bills are also held
extent of the application of the Hay
ward law.
IL is SOOQ zeal OIL question: WASIueI
or not the kickers on having the state
capitol decorated by an artist have
any standing in court at all. The COM
mission made contract and signed
up memorandum. Artist Garnsey
suggested that he prepare specific
statement of what he is to do and give
specifications as far as such is possi-
BILE. and this alone awaits signature.
But the contract is closed. The suit
here is threatened by printer who is
supposed to be acting for dissatisfied
persons who wanted contract where
they could make a good thing at state
expense.
Some inquiry has been made here as
to what has, become of II. M. Reboks
Iowa State Journal" and 1t is found
that no copies have been sent out for
some time. 1t was to be the organ OF
the democrats.
