withheld his approval Of the appoint

ALLISONS SEAT
GOV. CUNNINS'
NEW AMBITION
Wilson, AlliSon'S Friend
Gave the Governor
First Start.
Was Associated With All
of Governors
Career.

The report that Governor Cummins, OF
Iowa. will be a candidate for United
States Senator against Senator William
y. Allison has recalled 10 people whose
political memories cover two genera
lions. that Senator Allison and Secrc-
tary Wilson have been closely assOCi-
ated for a great many years, that their
larger public careers began practically
together. and that Wilson was one of
the most effective supporters of ALI
son at that time.
Further than this, Secretary Wilson
has also been associated intimately with
events at critical points in the career
of Governor Cummins- For the larger
political and business career Of the
present governor may fairly be dated
from the time when he was chosen ds
the counsel for the Iowa farmers organ
izations In their great fight against the
Barbed Wire trust. Mr.. Wilson was a
member and perhaps the dominating
force in the committee which was
named by the farmers organizations 10
hunt up a lawyer who could not be cor
rupted by the money or influence Of the
trust, and who at the same time was
smart enough to meet the best lawyers
the trust could hire. This committee
looked over a goodly list of lawyers
and rejected ones for various reasons
some OF which would be highly inter
esting If they should appear in print
and finally went 10 this young man
'Cummins, who had been recommend
ed to it,
Famous Barbed Wire Fight.
An interview resulted in engaging
Cummins, and out OF that interview
developed the famous granger fight
against the Barbed Wire trust 1t may
fairly be called the first joust at trust
busting, and II came of under very diff
ferent conditions than now prevail. Anti
trust laws and decisions were crude and
uncertain. public policy was underlined.
and the fight had to be made largely
under the patent laws. Nevertheless II
was won, and the barbed wire monop-
oily, which in that day was more hated
throughout the West than all the gi-
gantic trusts of today, was brought to
an end.
Secretary Wilson always had a friend
ly feeling for Cummins because of the
associations which began at that time,
and last year when the great fight was
made against Cummins Wilson went
oJt and stumped for him. Now il seems
choice between the two, and IL is the
impression of his friends that he viii

Turning Out Allison.

A good deal has been said and written
in Iowa recently about the unfairness
OF turning out a grand old man, with
the honorable career Of Allison. But
friends of Senator Allison are little
given to recalling the campaign Of 1912.

AllisOn's election Harlan was then TO

SO he resigned and ran again for the

When the Legislature met, following
the long preliminary contest, the two
sides were still so evenly divided that
the speakership became the next prize
In sight James Wilson announced him

he was running tor speaker, not Sena-

either. He was elected by a unanimous
vote. and when the Senatorship came

Juggling of Figures.

More than twenty years afterward.
Harlan. having been all these years liv-
ing in quiet retirement at his old Iowa
home, was brought out as a candidate
for the nomination for governor. That
was the contest of 1895. in which Drake
was nominated. After the convention
the story came out that on the critical
ballot the secretaries had juggled the
figures and had credited TO Drake a
largely increased strength, while falling
To credit Harlan a still greater gain

CHRISTMAS SONG.

(By Margaret Deland)
At the break of Christmas Day.
Through the frosty starlight ringing,
Faint and sweet and far away
Comes the sound of children, singing
Chanting, singin"
Cease to mourn,
Far Christ IS born,
Peace and JOY to all men bringingw
Careless that the chill winds blow.
Growing stronger, sweeter, clearer,
Noiseless footballs in the snow
Bring the happy voices nearer,
Hear them singing,
''Winter's drear,
But Christ is here,
Mirth and gladness with Him bringing"
"Merry Christmasl" hear them say.
As the East is growing lighter;
"May the Joy of Christmas Day
Make your whole year gladder,
brighterp
Join their singing,
"To each home
Our Christ has come,
All Loves treasures with him bringingp

Rev Cornelius E. Sullivan, pastor of ST. Pat
rick's church, Whitinsville Mass. has brought TO
the supreme court a case involving the legality of
an ante-nuptia agreement to bring up the children
of mixed marriage in the Catholic faith. Martha
Forsythe Protestant married William Bosquet,
Catholic, in June, 1900 on the usual condition
that any children born of the union should be
reared as Catholics. Two children were born the
father and mother both died, and the children are
now in care of their mothers brother James For
sythe, who appointed their guardian by the
probate court
Father Sullivan makes the claim that the chill
dren are not being brought up in the Catholic faith
in accordance with the agreement signed by their
mother before her marriage, and he asks to be ap
pointed guardian of them and given their custody

FAVOR STORAGE RESERVOIR
Cemetery Committee Considers Plan
For Believing Conditions

A large storage reservoir below the
present reservoir will probably be the
solution of the water shortage difficult
ty at the cemetery.
The joint committee representing the
city. Masons. Odd Fellows and Cath
olics visited the site this morning and
lroked the situation over carefully.
This committee consisted of Council
men Mexican and Kirkman. John
FARMLAND for the Masons, S. F. Hen
derson for the Odd Follows and John
P. Kent for the Catholics.
The committee olu 40, make any
definite decision on the remedy for the
threatened water shortage but it is
understood the concensus of opinion
is that storage reservoir with a ca
pacity of 100000 gallons will be con-
structed.
The water supply is amply sufficient
for the needs of the cemeteries if it
can be properly conserved. BY the ar
rangement proposed water could flow
into the reservoir for "a hours from
the present reservoir and it would be
drawn on but IL hours daily.
p" The matter Is now in the hands Of
Messrs. FARMLAND, Henderson and
Kent although the city will pay it's
share Of the expense as decided upon
at the last meeting.
