Balks On Voting Machines.

Des Moines, Oct. 2 Because
the newvoting machines to be
used in Des Moines this year
for the first time allow the citi-
zen to vote the straight ticket
without voting for each candi-
date separately, it is claimed
that it is illegal and John N.
Smith, an attorney in the Crock
er building in this city, is pre-
pairing a petition for an injunc-
ton to restrain the use of the
machines. The machines cost
the city and county $4,000.
At the session of the legisla-
ture in 1906 a bill was passed
taking the circle off the ballot
at the head of each ticket and
the law was amended so that
the citizen must make a cross
in the square in front of the
name of every candidate for
whom he desires to vote.
The new voting machine is
so arranged that in order to
vote at all the citizen must pull
a lever for a straight party
ticket Of any party he wishes.
He can then proceed to scratch
as much as he wishes by put
ting back into their places the
levers above the names of the
candidates of that party for
whom he does not wish to vote
and by pulling down those
above the candidates for whom
he does wish to vote.
1t might be we'll to remember
that under the new game law
it is unlawful for any person to
take, kill or have in his possess
ion more than ten prairie chic
kens or grouse during any one
day. And no game shall be
pursued, taken wounded or kill
led, one half hour after sun
down or before daylight, nor
with steel or hard pointed bull
let, nor with any weapon other
than ordinary shoulder gun or
pistol.

Dear Folks:

Dear Folks:
1t is now 1870 p. m.
have just returned from the
auditorium where l had the
pleasure of hearing Judge VIM
H. Taft deliver a campaign lee
ture. Denver's auditorium is
some larger than Omaha's.
There were $4,000 people in it
and the halls were packed full
Of people who could not even
see into the assembly. They
crowded so badly that officers
had to use the clubs to keep
them back. Boulder City sent
a large delegation and the 3rd
balcony was reserved for them.
The auditorium was packed be-
fore the arrival of the disting-
uished speaker and the bands
stationed in the different parts
of the building would take
turns in entertaining the peo-
pie. The carriage containing
Mr.. Taft and party, was drawn
by four white horses. The dri-
yer was uniformed especially
for the occasion. The throng
of people on the streets cheer
ed themselves hoarse as the
carriage passed by. AS Mr..
Taft entered the auditorium,
the cannons at the capitol
grounds sent forth their deaf
ming roar making the nearby
building tremble. And fire
works to excel anything / ever
saw. When Mr.. Taft mounted
the rostrum the cheers that
went forth from the multitude
of people assembled in the
building was almost deafening.
1t was several minutes beforelhe
could be introduced, Mr.. Tafts
voice being quite hoarse from
so many previous speeches he
could not be heard very far
from the rostrum.

the boa has his grip fixed securely and

FEDERAL CARE FOR

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Feb. io-Secretary Root
wants a contingent expense fund Of $685.
600 in order that foreign representatives
may look after the local American travel
Ter.
The secretary in explaining TO the House
Committee on foreign affairs this add
tional item in the State Department bud
get says:
There are a great many consulates
where American tourists are much more
important factor than American business.
He believes that the eonsuls should have
a fund to maintain an office convenient
for travellers and for certain necessary
social duties. The committee is inclined to
believe that such an appropriation would
be criticized by that portion OF the great
American public that stays az home.

cial bill which bears his name, and
which proposes to provide $500, 900

Senator Aldrich y esterday made
an Illuminating speech.
He declared that the great mass OF
the men who control the Arrangements
OF great financial Institutions which
can do so much to make or mar the
prosperity Of our country should real
ize that they have serious RESPONSE
bilities. One element OF weakness in
the banking situation, Is the made
Quacy OF bank reserves Another Is
a general and dangerous over conf
dence in bank credits. This is in
directly The cause OF much speculation.
Men engaged in promoting or under
/ writing questionable business schemes
take advantage OF these conditions. to
the detriment Of legitimate banking and
this serves to bring discredit upon all
OF our banking institutions.
Speaking on the recent financial
crisis. Senator Aldrich said: "The
country was saved by the narrowest
possible margin from an overwhelm-
ing catastrophe, whose blighting EFFORT
would have been felt In every house
hold"
The remedy offered by the finance
committee Is simple. prompt I'D ef-

Lobb, however, did not remarry his
first wife, from whom he was divorced.
Judge Spruance opposed the annul-
iment
I'm the case, however, the informa-
ton went TO show that the second wife

plice.

there was no innocent party as re-
lferred 10 IN the statute covering annui-
