Federal Elections.

In my last annual message / said:
THE power Of the government to
protect the integrity Of the elections of
its own officials Is inherent and has
been recognized and affirmed by re-
peated declarations Of the supreme
court. There is no enemy Of free gov
ernment more dangerous and none so
insidious as the corruption Of the elect
crate. No one defends or excuses cor
ruption, and 1t would seem to follow
that none would oppose vigorous meas
ures to eradicate 1t. | recommend the
enactment of a law directed against
bribery and corruption in federal cleo
tions. The details of such a law may
be safely left TO the wise discretion Of
the congress, but it should 80 as far as
under the constitution 1t is possible to
go and should include severe penalties
against him who gives or receives a
bribe intended to influence his act or
opinion as an elector and provisions for
the publication not only Of the cXpend-
iturcs for nominations and elections Of
all candidates, but also Of all contribu-
tlOns received and expenditures made
= by Political committees"
I desire to repeat this recommenda-
tin.

Des Moines, June lit has practi-
cally been decided that the charge of
completely in the Pollack diamond
robbery, which still hangs over the
head of Tom Dennison will be dis
missed in the near future. Mr.. Denni-
son stated last night that he had as
surances from County Attorney Fallon
of Harrison county that the action will
be done away with
1t was generally understood at the
Red Oak trial that the charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods was the strongest
of the two charges against Dennison,
and at the instance of Judge Walter
l. Smith, who was connected with the
prosecution, it was preferred at the
trial Just ended.
This charge comprised all the ma
terial matters which could be brought
out, whereas the completely charge
would not have permitted the introduc-
ton of as much evidence. 1t is not
believed that the statement of ex-
penses would have been allowed to go
before the jury. With these facts in
view, and further, that Dennison has
been acquitted of the more stern of the
two charges, it is thought that the
second charge will be dropped

DERER.

Davenport, June Frank Carter,
an insane patient at Mercy hospital,
has made a confession that clears up
the mystery surrounding the death of
Robert Parks, whose charred body
was found in the ruins of his home at
Dixon ten years ago. Many
Dixon people at the time held that
Parks was murdered and his house
set on fire by the murderers to conceal
the deed.
Carter went insane couple of
years afterwards, and now says that
he killed Parks and that it was the
weight Of the terrible secret that un-
balanced his mind. He has rational
periods and the authorities are inves.
tigating his story and believe that he
may have had accomplices in the mur.
der, who may also be brought to JUS
tice.
