membership Of the Iowa Bar associa-

ISOLATION OF Iowa, will hold their 1909
convention in MarshalltoWn. Such was
the action taken at Waterloo late Fri
day afternoon, Just before the adj
journment OF the bar association.
The two associations always hold
their conventions in the same city, the
county attorneys preceding the bar as
ISOLATION by day, and adjourning at
about noon OF the day on which the
meeting Of the bar association begins.
The bar association has fixed June "a
and % as the dates for their meeting,
so the county attorneys will convene
ton Wednesday, June %, giving what
Is virtually three days convention

month Of next year.
| Des Moines Wanted Them.
Des Monies very much wanted the
conventions Of the state bar associa-
ton and county attorneys, and induce
ments. in the way Of free meeting
Iplace, and free rooms in a leading ho-
tel for committee purposes, were held
out. The vote in the executive COM
mittee of the bar association was
close, and stood s to 5 in favor OF
Marshalltown. Ex-senator ]. L. Car
ney, member of the executive commit
tee, and County Attorney j. III. Eyer
mayer, the new secretary and treasur-
err of the county attorneys associa-
ton, worked hard to land the conven-
tions for Marshalltown, Mr.. Carney
in the committee room, and Mr.. Eyer
mayer on the outside. The balance of
power rested with County Attorney
Lloyd Thurston, Of Clarke county.
who was a member Of the executive
committee. and who might have per.
sonally favored Des Moines because
his town, Osceola, is not far distant
from the capital city. Mr.. Thurston
had previously promised Mr. Eyer
mayer to support Marshalltown, and
did so in the executive committee
meeting. 1t was really his vote that
was the deciding one.
The selection Of Marsl1alltown was
more of victory this year by reason
Of the fact that 1t has been the general
custom to give Des Moines the con-
vention every other year. Last year
the convention was held at Davenport.
but Waterloo got busy and captured
the 1908 meeting, It was then thought
that Des Moines would surely be chos-
en- this year. but the Marshalltown
men were there with the cordial invi-
tations extended by the bar Of this
county and the commercial club.
w Carney Re- elected to; Committee.
Is Mr.. Carney. was reelected to mem
bership on the executive committee.
as the representative from the Fifth
congressional district. He was also
again chosen as member of the law
reform committee. Mr.. Egermayer,
aside from being made secretary and
treasurer Of the county attorneys as
ISOLATION, was made chairman Of the
membership committee OF the bar as
ISOLATION.
May Get Court Reporters Too.
AS A. B. Hoover. of this city, was
elected secretary and treasurer of the
Iowa State Court Reporters associa-
ton, and is thereby member Of the
executive committee Of the organiza-
ton, 1t is likely that Marshalltown
will be chosen as the next meeting
place Of the association, and that the
court reporters will be here when the
lawyers meet. The selection of the 1909
convention city has been left to, the
