Of better reward Now If this young
man had been in the habit of watching

SAVE us ANoTHlR CONVENTION.

without seeming to find fault with
the mysteries Of the law which furnish
plenty of copy for hot weather reading
this newspaper would like to suggest
that none OF us want another state
convention this year. To ask LOO or
1900 men to travel to some common
point for the sole purpose of nominat-
ing a candidate for supreme judge
would be asking mountain to labor
to bring forth mouse. Let the va
cancy rip until after election and then
the governor can ALI it by appoint
ment.
If a convention should be called 1t
would be difficult to find more than
two men in a county who would be
willing to make the trip to nominate
ing convention and when they got
there they would not be any better
able to select q nominee than is the
governor or the state committee.
OF course, If it Is possible to elect
a judge on the day Of the general cleo
ton without the formality of nominat-
ing a candidate our friends the demo-
Gratis should be watched. A nomination
of some kind would then have to be
made but let it be made in some other
manner than by calling another con-
vention.

THAT sLANDER1NG OF IOWA
Cedar Falls Globe)


Two years ago about one-third OF
the delegates to the state republican
convention attempted, by a, political
maneuvering, to steal the convention
by contesting delegates. 1t appears,
however, that they were unable to
carry out their plan and really de-
cided that the task they had under
taken was an impossibility. This same
gang to great extent opposed the
election of the republican ticket in the
fall and succeeded in cutting the re-
publican majority from about $4,000 to
$4,000. Even going so far in their meth
DDS as to take republican money to as
sist in electing democratic candidates.
This year when the calls were issued
for caucuses to elect delegates to the
republican national convention, they
came forward in numbers and on ac-
count of the apathy of the progressive
element, succeeded in selecting ma
jorlty of the delegates from Iowa to
the national convention. These dele
