DEMOCRATS PICK OUT CANDIDATE
Frank Tamisiea of Harrison County
Named for Judge.

Frank Tamisiea of Harrison County
Named for Judge.
Frank Tamisiea of Missouri Valley, q
member Of the Harrison county bar, was
nominated by the democratic convention Of
the Fifteenth judicial district in this city
yesterday afternoon as candidate for judge
Of the district bench to succeed Judge N.
w. Macy Of Harlan, whose term will expire
at the end Of this year.
Mr.. Tamlsiea's nomination was brought
about only after a determined effort had
been made by Lew Genung, the veteran
democratic war horse Of Mills county, to
have the convention endorse Eugene b.
Woodruff Of Glenwood, the republican
nominee for the district bench.
The attempt on the part of Mr.. Genung
to secure the Enforcement Of Mr.. Woodruff
was thwarted by Herman Schurz of this
city, who placed in nomination Mr.. Tami-
siea. AS Mr.. Tamisica was not in attend
ance, there was some doubt expressed as to
whether he would be willing to offer him
self up as a sacrifice, but Mr.. Schurz de-
clared that judging from a conversation he
had had several days before with Mr.. Tamil
siea, that the latter would not only accept
the nomination, but would make a cam
paign.
Mr.. Genung, suggesting that the conven-
ton endorse Mr.. Woodruff. paid the repub-
lican nominee a handsome tribute. He de-
clared that Mr.. Woodruff was not a parti-
san in any sense of the word, and that
above all things he was a man upon whom
the railroads never had had a string. He
said that in his opinion now was a good
time to set the republicans a good example
and show them that the democratic party
VISA In favor of a nonpartisan judiciary.
Il am not in favor" declared Mr.. Cen
ung, of making a victim of some poor
democratic lawyer who is not present. I
am a friend of Frank Tamisiea and l am
not willing to offer up as a sacrifice any
of my friends. If. however, Frank Tamil
siea or any other democratic lawyer wants
to go up against the buzz saw and the re-
publican judiciary combine in this district
why let him, and 1 will do all / can for
him"
1t was suggested that an effort be made
to reach Mr.. Tamasiea by telephone, but
It was unsuccessful. Mr.. Schurz insisted
that Mr.. Tan asiea would accept the nomi-
! nation and he was finally nominated by
| reclamation. At the same time, on motion
of Roscoe Barton of Avoca, the precaution
was taken to authorize the judicial com.
mittee to fill the vacancy should one arise
from any causc.
The convention, which was attended by
about fifteen delegates, was called to or
der by S. B. Wadsworth of this city, chair
man of the democratic judicial committee,
who named Paul Richards of Red Oak
temporary chairman. w. II. Schuz of this
city was selected as temporary secretary,
1t was decided to dispense Will a committed
on credentials and on motion of Mr.. Wads.
worth the temporary organization was
made permanent. Chairman Richards re-
Trained from any oratory and the conven-
ton dispensed with adopting any resolu-
lions.

Bishop Potter was "a years of age and
was a native of Schenectady, N. Y. He
has been the head of the New York diocese
since 1887. In addition to the heavy duties
Of the oversight of the largest diocese in
point of population in the United States
Bishop Potter took an active part in move
ments of national Importance. The bishop
did much to promote more cordial relations
between employers and employees and when
the occasion demanded lent his efforts to
improve the standard of municipal govern
ment in New York City. Conditions of
immortality on the East Side, New York,
were brought to his attention several years
ago and in q sharp sermon delivered at
st. Paul's church at a MONDAY meeting
he called public attention to a lax condl-
ton of municipal direction which resulted
in the overthrow of the Tdmmany adj
ninistratlon and the election Of Seth Low.
president of Columbia college, to the office
of mayor.
Bishop Potter caused a great stir through
out the country several years ago when he
took part at the dedication of the subway
tavern on Blocker street, New York. It
was the plan of those interested in the
tavern to conduct an establishment where
all intoxicants would be served under regu-
lations which would promote temperance
and by example improve the tone of tho
saloon. The bishop made an address in
which he said he hoped that the tavern
would prove a success. After an uncertain
existence the tavern failed.

BENzoIC ACID UNDER BAN
DR.. Wiley Says BenzOnte of Soda Also
Should be Excluded from
Foods.

WASHINGTON. July Fin the inter-
ests OF health both benzoic acid and ben
zoate Of soda should be excluded from
foods"
This is the conclusion of DR.. Harvey
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
OF the Department of Agriculture, after a
prolonged investigation to determine the
effect upon the human system of these
preservatives. The chemicals were given
in various kinds of foods to DR.. WIley's
so-called poison squad. and he declared
their use is highly Objectionable and pro.
duces very serious disturbances of the
metabolic functions, attended with injury
to digestion and health. 1t is pointed out
that these symptoms were produced upon
healthy individuals receiving good and
nourishing food and under proper sanitary
conditions.
1T is only fair to conclude, therefore"
says DR.. Wiley, that under similar condi-
tions these preservauves in the case Of
weaker systems or less resistant conditions
of health much more serious and lasting
injury would be produced"
| He declared that the investigation is of
special Importance because of the opinion
held by many manufacturer of food that
benzoic acid and benzoates are probably
the least harmful of any of the prcserva-
tive substances employed.
The results of these Investigations, DR..
Wiley states, have shown tina there is not
a single article of food which has been
preserved by means of these personalities
such as cider, grape juice, mincemeat, jelly,
jams, catsup, preserves, ETC., which cannot
be preserved and offered to the consumer
in perfect condition without the aid Of any
chemical preservatives.
