Des Moines, March 10. = The bill
passed the house yesterday to remove
the circle from the ballot, and as it
had already passed the senate, has
now become law. This measure was
not desired by the republicans in gem
eral. Senator Smith of Mitchell in
troduced the bill as its author, and it
was in the interest Of the governor,
whose friends wished to encourage
the scratching of the ballot, in an en-
deavor to insure his election and pos
sibly that Of other 'progressiyes."

The bill by Green for re-districting

A bill passed the house yesterday
which was drafted in a special COM
mittee of which A. F. N. aambleton
was a member. The bill provides
that the title by tax deed is put into
the county by tax sale of the mulct
law. Heretofore such property was
bid off and it could easily be redeem
ed and thus the lein could be obliter-
ated.
Senator Jones is still working for
the passage of his divorce bill and
hopes to have it finally disposed Of as
he desires. He is looking after the
Interests o. Mahaska county and it's
people in every possible way, and ex-
poets some future legislation in their
favor.
1t is believed the Gillilland resolu-
ton calling Gov. Cummins to account
for his statements in regard to the
buying off of certain legislators, Will
come before the house today. An en-
deavor was made to prevent resolu-
lions from coming up but it was or
dered printed in the journal Iuat all
might read. For two days, the jour
nal which was supposed to contain
this resolution, was kept off the desks.
Representative Lundt, who had pre-
scented the resolution in the house,
put in a protest yesterday anu the
delayed journal appeared on the
desks. Temple had put in substi-
tute for the original resolution, ask
ing Gov. Cummins to address a joint
session and explain his position and
his words. Another substitute had
been submitted, asking that commit
tee consisting of five members each
from the house and senate should in
vestigate the matter. The resolution
and all amendments will probably
come up today.
By a majority of there passed out
of the house committee the Lewis res
olution authorizing the governor to
call a meeting of all the governors of
the United States,in conference, to de-
eide that United States senators
should be elected by direct vote of
the people. The scheme, of course, is
to have Cummins take the lead in
popular measure.
Attorney George H. Woodson has
the distinction Of being the only col
ored man admitted to the floor to at
tend the Henderson Memorial when
the senate and house met in joint
session.
The anti-pass bill which passed the
senate yesterday, will undoubtedly
pass the house without opposition.
