FOURTH FOR ALLISON.

Reviewing the situation politically.
some Of the state papers sum up the
senatorial matter in this way as re-
CARDS the attitude of the Fourth dis
trict:
1t is in the Fourth district that the
detection from Governor Cummins is
perhaps the greatest. In 1906 he
swept this district. as he did the
Third, and in the recent state conven-
tion he carried it by a small majority,
owing to the hardness with which the
Allison forces entered the field. The
senator will carry it at the June pri-
mary by large majority. Allison
sentiment is growing every day in
Worth county. the home OF Congress
man Haugen, and a majority for ALI
SON is now claimed in Cerro Gordo,
where Cummins opened his campaign
this year. Mitchell. the home of
Senator Smith, is being thoroughly
organized and the same is true of
Howard. Fayette, which sent divid-
ed delegation to the recent conven-
tion, promises a large majority for the
senator and he has an even chance or
better in Winneshiek, Floyd, Chicka-
saw, Clayton and Allamakee will do
even better than they would have
done a month ago, when the Allison
forces easily controlled.

THE TUBERCULOSIS LAW.

Owing to the trouble which the
farmers have experienced in the mat
ter of cattle being condemned and de-
stroyed on account of tuberculosis,
and the many questions raised as to
the powers of the state veterinary sur
geon in the premises, much interest
has been aroused and much comment
INDUCED in regarding the manner in
which the assistant veterinarians
operate.
The state law on the subject is as fol-
lows
"Chapter II, Section 2,534. execu-
tive council to approve claims for de-
struction of stock. Appeal. When
ever, in the opinion of the state vet
Urinary surgeon. the public safety de-
mands the destruction of any stock
the same may be destroyed upon writ
ten order of said surgeon, with the
consent of the owner, or upon approval
of the governor, and by virtue of such
order such surgeon, his deputy or as
sistant or any peace officer may de-
stroy such diseased stock. and the
owner thereof shall be entitled to re
ceive its actual value in it's condition
when condemned, to be ascertained
and fixed by the state veterinary sur
geon and the nearest Justice of the
peace. who. il unable to agree, shall
call upon the nearest justice OF the
peace upon whom they agree as umpire.
and their Judgment shall be final
when the value of the stock. il not
diseased, would not exceed $25 but in
all other cases either party shall have
the right of appeal to the district
court, but such appeal shall not delay
the destruction of the deceased AMI

once file with the executive council

The state veterinary surgeon is ap-
pointed by the governor. It is the

contagious or infectious disease
among domestic animals to notify the
state veterinary surgeon at once of the
existence of such disease and it shall

surgeons as may be deemed advisable.

IOWA FACES EMPTY TREASURY.
State Auditor B. r. Carroll, Candidate for Gov
ernor, Says State Will Be Bankrupt
Unless Appropriations
Are Cut.

B. f. Carroll, state auditor and
standpat candidate for governor. open
ing his campaign at Cambridge Sat
urday night, predicted an empty state
treasury if the appropriations author
lied by the last general assembly are
expended during the biennial period.
He gave figures showing the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the treas
ury since 1901, and said the disburse-
ments for the last five years amounted
to ST., $50, 1884 50. with the receipts in
the same period of SIT, 1872, 033. 90.
leaving deficit of 1916, 632. 30.

treasury was $50, 500 on Feb. LIST.

treasurers are required to remit the
state taxes to the state treasurer on
April 18th. and the state treasurer
wrote to the county officers to send in
the taxes as soon as possible this year.
The money came in early and prevent
ed an empty treasury.
Mr.. Carroll then referred to the ap-
preparation of the last general as
sembly and said his estimates showed
about $500. 600 available for extraor-
binary appropriations. The general
assembly, however, increased the reg
ular appropriations and added extraor-
binary appropriations of Sl.4l5, 043,
making 81. $50, 765 to be met by the
$500, 600 available.
In closing his address Carroll said
eff my wishes about the governor s
office were consulted i would make II
more of business office, with Just
enough functionary duties to give the
position it's proper standing and dig
nity."

THE MORAL OF 1T.

When Gov. Cummins became chief
executive of the state of Iowa there
was 81 900, 600 surplus in the treasury,
and today the debts of the state exceed
the income for the rest of the year.
All of which goes to show that the
business of big concern cannot be

HARD ON THE GOVERNOR.

Judge Prouty in his campaign for
the governor relates that he rode on a
train in Missouri last year, his fellow
passengers being millionaire and a
poor man with family. He travelled
on mileage book at two cents mile
and the millionaire on an annual pass,
while the poor man was compelled to
pay three cents mile for himself, the
same for his wife, and half fare for
his children. Judge Prouty contin-
ues:
Again and again have the members
of the Iowa state legislature sought to
correct this injustice. but each time
the measure has failed, but, thank
God, under the leadership of Albert
b. Cummins we have elected a
legislature that has wiped it out.
This evil was just as great twenty
years ago as it was last year. There
was just as much of crying need for

There was two cent fare bill be-
fore the Iowa general assembly twenty
years ago. The vote in the house was
taken April A, 1888. 1t was 66 ayes to
10 nays. One of the negative votes
was cast by Albert B. Cummins and
later on, in 1901, his delegates to the
state convention travelled on passes
while the poor man with family and
no political pull paid three cents a
mile. Now we have Judge Prouty's
word for it that this evil of discrimi-
nation against the poor man was Just
as great twenty years ago as it was
last year." inst as great on April A,
1888, the year after the adoption of the
anti-pass clause in the interstate COM
merce law for which Senator Allison
voted, just as great during the general
assemblies in which the anti-pass bill
of Senator John Hughes, Jr. died from
lack of support from Gov. Cummins,
as in 1907, or at the present time,
when he is represented to us as the
only and original champion of anti
pass and two cent fare legislation.

BECkHAM GIVEN SIX MONTHS
MAN WHO SLASHED GIRLS
THROAT PLEADS GUILTY.
Victims Desire to Save Him Results
in Amelioration of Charge
Against Him.

Walter Beckham. the youth arrested
the latter part of June after sensational
attempt to kill his sweetheart. Blanche
Rock creek, was arraigned in Police
Court this morning. under a charge of
assault. Upon plea of guilty he was
given an absolute sentence of six months
in the wOrkhOuse.
The proceedings this morning were
short. The plea Of the prisoner was fol-
lowed by the recommendation of the
prosecuting attorney and the sentence.
The complainant in the case, Blanche
Davis. was in the courtroom Judging
from her demeanor her attitude was one
of sympathy toward the defendant.
The woman is SCARED about the neck
and one cheek. and an ugly mark circling
her throat shows where the razor welded
by Beckham had inflicted an almost fatal
wound.
The long delay in bringing the defend
ant to trial was due to efforts on the part
of attorneys representing the defense to
have the original charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon changed to charge of
simple assault. This was finally success
full. owing to the desire of the Davis
woman not to punish her murderous
lover.
The affair created excitement at the
time. For several days the Davis girls
life was despaired of at the Emergency
Hospital. where she was taken by the
police. In the course Of a short walk in
the vicinity of the NJ street bridge an
argument developed over money. Beck
ham first struck the girl and then draw
ing a razor attempted to cut her throat

RESULT IS NOW IN DOUBT
WARNER MAY RECEIVE NOM
NATION FOR GOVERNOR.
Latest Returns in Michigan Cut
Down Bradley's Apparently
Large Lead.

DETROIT, Mich. September 3.--Re.
turns received by the Free Press since
midnight give Auditor General Bradley a
lead of 1.122 votes over Gov. Fred NJ
Warner for the republican nomination foI
governor. With seventy-one election dis
tricts still missing out of a total OF 3
O15 in the state, the vote Tuesday was
Bradley. S60s2; Warner, S4,96O; II. S
Earle, 24,341.
OF the missing districts. eighteen are in
Leelanau and OSccola counties. where ii
is understood the vote is exceedingly close
The remaining fifty-three missing districts
are scattered through the state and may
reduce Bradley's plurality over Warner
TO about 1000 votes when the official
count is known.
DETROIT. Mich. September 3.-Com-
plete returns from Tuesdays primary
election are not yet available, and the
latest complication. made this forenoon
by the Detroit News. has reduced the
plurality of Auditor General J. B. Brad
ley for the republican nomination for
governor to $40 votes. with two whole
counties and thirty-one scattering pre-
cincts still missing. The missing coun-
ties are Leelanau and Oscoda, where the
republican vote is usually about 1880.
1t is considered, therefore. that there is
a possibility that the complete returns
from these counties may further greatly
reduce or even wipe out DR.. Bradley 8
plurality. Every effort is being made to
gather the missing returns.
DETROIT. Mich. September 3.-The
outcome of the republican primary OF
Tuesday for the republican nomination
for governor is this afternoon in doubt
The late returns received up to O'Clock
today have added SO materially to the
vote of Gov. Fred Nj. Warner that it is
not certain but that he will overcome en-
tirely the earlier lead of Auditor General
j. B. Bradley. AS a result of increases
of 500 votes in Sanilac county. 400 in
Emmett county and several hundred in
scattering districts the Journal at
o clock announced that Gov Warner Is
954 votes in the lead.
At the same hour the News had re-
duced It's earlier compilation of lead OF
$40 votes for Bradley to less than 500. AL
ready there is much talk of recOunts In
certain districts and 1t seems certain that
the official canvass will be necessary to
determine the outcome Of the primary.
