TAYLOR'S NAME MISSING

Not File Ticket In His Home State
Mayor Piekler Takes Blame for
Failure to File Sparks Certificate.
From Mondays Daily.
!, F. NJ. Epperson, OF Eddyville, repub-
Ican candidate for the office of state
representative as successor to the late
A. w. Buchanan, may have no opposi-
tion on the democratic ticket as re-
suit of the neglect to file with the Sec
retary of state the proper official noti-
fication of the nomination of Clyde
G. Sparks, Of Eldon, as the candidate
named by the democratic congressioh-
al convention held several weeks ago
in this city. George E. Taylor, Ottum-
was candidate for the office of pres
ident of the United States, also neg
iected to file the necessary papers and
his name and that of his party will be
missing from the ticket voted in Iowa.
Takes the Blame.
The fault is all mine," said Mayor
T. H. Pickler, democratic county chair
man. II was intending to file the
name of our candidate for representa-
tive along with the names of our can
didates for county offices. think that
it was the duty of our chairman of
the state central committee to have in
formed new chairman like myself of
the method of procedure and the date
for filing the nominations.
'I received letter yesterday from
r1oy 41&~
Chairman Morrissey, saying that if
rushed in the papers the name of the
candidate would be filed and allowed
to go on the ticket / suppose the
matter has been arranged. l have
sent the papers and they should be
filed today"
Law Is Plain.
Theestate law clearly states that the
official notifications Of all candidates
for national, state and congressional
Offices shall be made in the office of
the secretary Of state not more than
sixty nor less than thirty days preyi.
GUS to the date of the election. For
county and township Offices the time
limit does not expire till twenty days
before the day of election. Saturday
night at midnight, therefore marked
the expiration of the time limit for
the filing.
Taylor Absent Also.
George E. Taylor, candidate for pres
ident on the national liberty party, Is
out of the city and the reason for the
failure to properly file the notification
could not be learned. The national
liberty party being a new party it
would have been necessary for the not
ifications to have been accom- panied by
a petition in order to secure a place
on the ticket. So far as can be learn.
ed no effort at all was made in any
quarter to secure this petition and it
lis probable that the matter, if thought
of at all, was allowed to go by default
Judicial Vacancies.
Only the prohibitionists displayed {
disposition to enter into partnership
over filling the judicial vacancies, anC
that in but one district. The prohibi
tionists have nominated w. B. Crewd
son of Atlantic to be Judge in the fif
teenth district. N. w. Macy of Har
Ian has been named by the republi
cans. The democrats did not nomi
nate for this Office nor did they in the
other judicial districts. Following are
the republican nominations for Judge!
| in the other districts;
| Seyenth-Hiram K. Evans, of Cory
don.
Third-Arthur P. Barker of Clin
ton.
Twelfth. F. Clyde, of Usage.
Fourteenth-A. d. Bailie of Storm

Pleasant
Remains Peoples Party.
Members of the populist party callet
at the Office of the secretary of stat,
Saturday in large numbers to protes
against the idea of the state chairman
of their party looking to the amplifi
cation of the name of their organiza
tion by placing the word union" be
fore the peoples party" which is tn,
cognomen under which the ticket viii
appear on the official ballot. 1t wa
decided to retain the old name with
out the addition suggested by Chair
man Norman.
While the socialists have filed thei
| ticket this year in good form the sc
cialist labor party is missing despit
the fact that 1t also has nationa
ticket in the persons Of Charles W
Corrogan, of New York, candidate fo
president. and William w. Cox, of Il
linois, candidate for vice president.
In this state this party, and the SC
cialists coalesced, in effect, severa
years ago.
The electoral, state and congressior
al tickets which will be voted on b
the people of Iowa November 8, vii
/ be as follows:
