JUDGE WADE BLAMES BAD
LUCK FOR HIS RECENT DEFEA 7

that many persons who did not know
how TO- mark their ballots lost their
vote entirely by trying to vote for me.
If 1t had not been for that would
have been elected by a thousand ma
jority There were over 400 ballots
thrown out in Scott county alone. The
campaign was very warm one and
the result was surprising think on
all sides.''
Judge Wade appears to particularly
regret this question of badly marked
ballots. It is not known where he
gathered his figures but he appears to
be confident that this was one of the
principal causes of his defeat.
Talks Of Beef Trust,
Judge Wade has not as yet taken
any active part in the proceedings OF
the house. 1t is not known how much
ne intends to enter into the sessions
this year. but it is stated that he in.
tends to introduce some measures that
will attract attention He stated today
that the farmers are still smarting un.
der the abuses of the beef trust and
that if relief can not be obtained the
farmers OF Iowa will ere long build
their own packing houses. He de
clares that he does not expect any
thing in the way Of practical results
from the investigation now being pros
ecuted in Chicago by the department
OF commerce and labor. This report is
expected within the next few weeks
Judge Wade is of the opinion that I'M
der the present nricas of cory ood cot
tie. farmers who are feeding cattle are
losing money. He stated that he
thought Is per cent of the farmers ir
Iowa who are feeding cattle for the
market are losing money on their ven
tire. He admitted that probably 2s
per cent are making profit.

Denver, Colo, Dec. IA. The state
supreme court today sustained mo-
ton made by the attorneys for the re-
publican party to enjoin the Denver

its official abstract of votes the re-
turns from Precincts Ward Z.

The decision is said to establish a
precedent and the republicans will
ask for similar action in regard to all
precincts in which it is alleged frauds
were committed. There are about
fifty such precincts and by throwing
out the precincts in question. Adams
may be defeated for governor by

WaoHlHSton. y. VI, LEG. II.
Judge Wade is again in his seat in
the house of representatives. He was
about week late in arriving this year
because of some troublesome legal du-
ties that kept him in Iowa.
Judge Wade's laugh is as hearty as
ever and he seems to have the usual
number of stories for the edifcation
of the cloak rooms. However. he does
not attempt to conceal from his inti-
mate friends his great disappointment
at the result of the election in the sec
ond district He is evidently of the
opinion that he was beaten by some
unfortunate circumstances which of
course from his viewpoint add to the
bitterness of his defeat.
In talking Of the campaign today he
said:
A Hard Campaign.
''It was a hard fight from start to
finish. The great trouble in the cam
paign all over the country was the fact
that the democrats stayed away from
the polls. 1t was most peculiar cam
paign in that regard. Fifty thousand
democrats in Iowa never went near
the polls on election day. Roosevelt
ran behind McKinley's vote in many
places and yet he had in most cases a
larger majority than Mckinley.
In my district did not get much
assistance from the national commit
tee. had only one speaker sent me,
whereas my opponent had long list
of prominent men helping him. The
democratic national committee was
giving all it's attention to the few
doubtful states with which it hoped to
win the presidency.
Hard Luck Story.
II was also unfortunate in the fact

1t is stated today unofacially
that Minister Conger will accept the
position of ambassador to Mexico and
will shortly after retire from diplo.
matte life. 1t is said that Conger is
tired of active service and anxious to
retire. He had a desire, however, to
retire with the titlo of ambassador, as
the highest in the gift of the diplomatic
service. HIS appointment to Mexico
will give him this and 1t is expected he
will remain there possibly only a few
months, or at most year after March
4, 1905, when the change will be made
In some quarters it is rumored that
his early retirement was condition
of the appointm ent to Mexico so that
the place might be left open for an.

In his annual report Of the total crop
harvested by the farmers OF Iowa in
the year 1904 j. r. Sage, director. of
the Iowa crop and weather service,
shows a total of 323 $685. $3.50 bushels of
corn. or nearly 25,000,000s bushels in
excess of the fondest, predictions Of
those presumed to be in possession of
facts as to the crop planted and the
quantity.
The next largest crop is that Of
oats. OF which there were approx
mately 118,500,000 bushels harvested
The total crop for the state Is valued
at 91,207, ,258 as compared with 1885,
413.704 for the year 1903. Mr. Sage
makes this report In spite Of the fact
that he believes that the conditions of
crop growing have been rather ad-
verse throughout the year. The aver
age value per bushel OF the farm pro-
ducts of the state Is about 35 cents.
Much Speculation on Outcome.
Throughout. the year there has been
the greatest anxiety as to the outcome
Of the Iowa crop and more particu-
larly the corn cro7. Eastern business
interests have kept in the closest of
touch with the situation and have
speculated heavily on the result Of the
crop.
The report will have an appreciable
effect on the boards of trade, mas
much as the past predictions have
| been far below the mark reached by
any Of the crops. The corn crop OF
1904 exceeds that of the preceding
year by more than 95,000,000 bushels
and the record year for Iowa seems to
have been reached
Director Sage says:
| Despite somewhat adverse condi-
tions at the outset. and belated growth
Of the cereal crops, the final report for
1 the season Of 1904 makes a satisfactory
exhibit Of the agricultural resources OF
the state. The warmth and dryness OF
| the autumn made partial amends for
| low temperature and slow progress
during the summer.
Corn.
| The area planted this season was
9,o52, 450 acres. The loss Of acreage
from various causes was relatively
small, compared with recent seasons
and 1t is probable that practically
about nine million acres were har-
vested. The average yield for the state
appears to have been about 36 bushels
per acre. The total yield is 32s,S53, ,33t
bushels, which is 93,342,o00 bushels
above the -.ield last year, and the larg-
est crop produced since 1900. During
the past fifteen years there have beer
two larger crops. viz: 345.000,0 ,00(
bushels In 1900 and 385,0o0,000. bushels

Too Much Music.

Recently q burglar entered q house
in Berlin, and, hearing footsteps ap-
preaching, he hid himself behind the
piano. 1t was seven o'clock in the
morning, and the steps we're those Of a
piano teacher, who had come to give
instructions to the youngest daughter
of the house.
He taught her for an hour and the
burglar then thought that he could es-
cape, but he was mistaken, for at eight
o'clock a lesson on the piano was
given to the eldest daughter, at nine
o'clock a lesson on the flute was given
to the youngest son, at ten o'clock a
lesson On the violin was given to the
eldest son, at eleven O'Clock a lesson
on the harp was given to the children's
aunt, at twelve o'clock a lesson on the
mandolin was given to their mother.
at one O'Clock luncheon was served in
the room, and each in turn played the
piano while the others we're ca ting, al
1:3O a grand concert began, flute, vic.
lin, mandolin and piano being played
at the same time.
At two O'Clock another teacher ap.
peared and was just about to announce
the program for the afternoon when
the burglar came forth from his hid
ing place, and, glaring at the aston.
ished musicians, cried: ,
"Send for the police if you like, but
for heavens sake stop that internal
music! I'd sooner any day go to jail
for six months than hide another hour
back of that piano"

The Mormon Problem.

There are plenty OF men who ar by
no means sure that Smoot can properly
be excluded, who are thoroughly con.
vinced that Utah ought not TO have
been admitted as q State. The Mormon
church is in politics, and it's political
action is controlled by its president
and the group of high officials. What
manner Of men the president and other
leaders OF Mormonism are, is now
better known to the country than ever
before. With the Mormon church re-
p~udiating immoral practices and con-
corning itself with purely religious
affairs, the country could not interfere
or find fault. But when an organiza-
ton such as that which President
Smith controls attempts, under the
guise of ecclesiastical and religious
control, to dominate politics and to
nullify law, the people of the United
States will not take a very lenient
view. The Senate has a full and final
right to judge of the qualifications of
it's own members. If it should decide
that, in view of the present character
of the Mormon hierarchy and its
falsity to the terms upon which Utah
was admitted, it perfets not to allow a
Mormon apostle to sit as a Senator,
making laws for the whole people OF
the United States, nobody can call in
question its right to act upon that
preference. The hearing will have
served y useful end.-From ''The Pro-
gress of the World" in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for April.
