FOR NEW ELECTORAL
FRANCE HAS A MEASURE FOR
COMPLETE CHANGE.

PARIS March 19.-The text of new bill,
which if passed will Introduce a complete
change In the French parliamentary cleo.
toral system, has just been adopted by the
universal suffrage committee of the cham
Der of deputies, and will shortly be brought
up for discussion. The bill Is based on the
principles of proportional representation
and ticket voting, while the committee car
rying out what it believes to be the general
desire, has increased the period Of the dep
uty's mandate to six years, instead OF four,
at as present. At the same time the num-
Der of representatives Is to be reduced from
591 to about 400.
BY the new system each department Is to
be regarded as distinct electoral district
entitled to return one deputy for every
% coo voters, and one in addition IN case
the division of the total number of voters
into fractions Of %, 600 leaves a surplus fig
ure of over 5000. Should any department,
by reason of its population. be entitled to
more than ten deputies. 1t will be subdivid-
ed into two or more constituencies each to
be treated a separate department for
electoral purposes and entitled to elect as
many deputies as it contains muitiples of
$1,000 electors.
Innovation in Voting.
An innovation, as far as France is con-
cerned is to be introduced into the method
Of voting Each voter is to be given as
many votes as there are deputies to be
elected in his department or constituency
and he may either distribute them among
the candidates or cast them all for one.
In order to avoid the recurrence of bye
elections by reason of the resignation or
death of a deputy. it is proposed that va
cancies in the chamber shall be filled by
candidates unsuccessful at the general cleo
ton in the department represented by the
retiring or deceased deputy, the highest
on the list, according to the number of
votes cast for him, having the right to claim
the seat provided he has not, in the mean
time been deprived of his civic rights for
any reason, and so on. till the list is ex-
hausted.
The only reason for a bye-election, &C
cording to the bill, is in case a vacancy
should occur more than six months before
a fresh general election is due and no I'M
successful candidate should be eligible or

will go forward steadily until Iowa
will be one Of the greatest manufac.

WELCOME TO ALLIsoN.

The veneration felt for William B
Allison, Iowa's senior senator, and the
grand old man of the body, was shown
In the reception given the senator up
on his arrival in Washington for at.
tendance at the present session of con.
gress. The entire Iowa congressional
delegation was at the station to greet
their venerable counselor, and the
greetings were given with no less
warmth when Allison went to the floor
of the senate.
Senator Allison has not lost his griL
on affairs with advancing age He is
one If the few men whom age seems
to brighten instead of dull He does
not pretend to enter the acrimonious
arguments on the floor. but while the
others are talking he is quietly wor'
ing and the gray-haired senator, who
in two short years will be an octoge
marian, retains the influence and the
power he held before age stamped its
impress uron him.
With every recurring session of con
gress the announcement comes from
some source or other that Allison is
not expected to attend the sessions
that his working days are over. But
each time the senator appears on the
scene, apparently having lost none oil
his usefulness. The prophets have
learned that Aliison.s term of service
now nearing the thirty-fourth consecu
tive year. is not yet ended and they
have ceased prophesying its close.

consequent disorder S. Joe Brown,
the Des Moines negro, is candidate
before the legislature for appointment
as file clerk of the house. 1t is a po-
sition that has been held by negroes
and he wishes to retain for his people
the recognition already given them
Mr.. Brown worked his way through
the state university and took one Of
the two honorary scholarship degrees
of his class. after having worked his
way through the Ottumwa high school,
winning the honor Of being class ora
tor. Mr.. Brown is capable of filling
any position in the appointment Of the
house, and he will serve with credit
if he is selected. Recognition Of the
ambition that has made such career
possible, under all the discourage
ments, will do more to solve the race
problem than all the repressive meas
ures of all the southern states. Be-
sides it is the American way to rec
ognize careers built up in just such
strenuous fashion

with voices Justify shouting for their
chancellor, and then instead of the
Inauguration ceremonies being held in
the state house with the legislature

Methodist Episcopal church, where
the Rev. Mr.. Buchtel before entering
politics frequently occupied the pull
pit.
Governor Buchtel had rather a
dramatic entrance into the political
arena. He was pursuing the even
tenor of his ways as the presiding
head of the university until one night
at the midnight hour he was awaken
ed from his slumbers and asked to be
the republican standard bearer. He
considered the proposition until noon
of the next day and then he accepted
and almost at once began stumping

Phillip B. Stewart of Colorado

Roosevelt's and the latter's host on
his bear hunting expeditions in the
mountains, had been nominated by
the convention, but he withdrew from
the ticket through party split. The
vacancies committee called all the
prominent republicans OF the state in.
to conference, seeking successor on
the ticket who stood show against
Alva Adams, the democratic nominee
and a popular favorite, and when by a
