the morning. Complaints we're 'phoned into
the district clerks office that member Of
the boards failed to show up and bystand-
ers did not want to serve, In all Instances
the vacancies were filled. however, either
by electing a bystander or by swearing in
the registration clerks as members OF the
board.
There has been a notable lack of applica-
lions for places on the board this year. in
dicating that people are all employed at
good wages and do not need the money. A
few years ago there were a half dozen
clamoring for every job, now 1t is neces-
sary to 60 out in the highways and by
ways and plead with men to take the
places.
The election officials in Chicago and
Douglas precinct failed to call for their
ballot boxes and supplies and deputy
sheriffs had to be sent out with them. No
trouble was reported from the country dis
tricts.
Busy Interpreting Law.
Deputy County Attorney Msgney was
kept busy Tuesday morning Interpreting
the law to dissatisfied citizens who tried
to vote, but were prevented by the ter ms
Of the law.
one indignant man said the primary
board had refused to allow him to vote
because he was registered as independent.
He wanted to know IL. independent voters
did not have some rights.
II want to vote part Of one ticket and
part of another" he said.
That's just what the law prevents"
said Mr.. Maeney. 1.-THE primary is for
members Of the political parties. and the
only way the board can tell which ticket
YOU have a right to vote Is by your regis
tratlon. II you are rot registered with
either party. you have no right to vote"
The independent voter snorted as he hung
up the receiver.
Another irate citizen rushed into the Of
flee and said he was being deprived of
his rights as a citizen. The board refused
to allow him to vote. He moved to Omaha
last October end at the fall registration he
was not eligible to register, and at the
election could not vote. Mr.. Magney In
formed him he could not vote, as he was
not registered.
Prisoners want TO Vote.
Unregistered voters are not the only
class of citizens who were deprived Of their
inalienable right to cast a ballot Tuesday.
Several. unwilling boarders in Sheriff
brailey's boarding house on the hill pro-
tested in vain they wanted to get out long
enough to go to the polls. One of the in
mates of the jail, Frank Hobart, who is
charged with alleged blackmail, demanded
of Deputy Sheriff Gardipee that he be
escorted to the polls in South Omaha to
enable him to exercise the privileges of
citizenship. Mr.. Gardipee could not see 1t
that way and the inmates of the jail were
put on the disfranchised list.
Reports from South Omaha show that up
to noon Tuesday 500 votes had been cast, of
which number 100 were republicans and 2O
democrats. This was considerably more
than was expected so early in the day, and
was taken to indicate that there would be
a heavy primary vote In South Omaha.

THE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.

With the demise of Senator Allison
the question as to his successor as
United States Senator from Iowa
naturally arises. 1t was generally
believed and fervently hoped that this
great issue which had so thoroughly
disturbed the equilibrium of the
republican party in Iowa had been
settled by the primary for some time
to come. Now we must face it again
Just how the vacancy until next
March will be filled has not as vet
been made known. The power lies in
the hands of the governor. He may
either appoint some one TO fill the
vacancy. call the Legislature in special
session to elect, or resign as governor
with the idea that Lieutenant Cover
nor Garst upon succeeding TO the
governorship will appoint him.
The republicans of Iowa ought not
to let the matter worry them at this
time. This is presidential year. Let
us see to it that Iowa goes for Taft,
that the entire congressional and
Legislative ticket is elected. and leave
the matter of the senatorship for the
next legislature to cope with. Now
is the time for harmony in Iowa.
There will be plenty of time to elect
a Senator after the republican ticket
is elected.

LETTER FROM PROF. PAMMEL.
Has Discovered Evidence That Canada
Thistle Does Seed in Some Instan.
ces in This State.
Ames, Ia, Aug. 4, 1908.

Ames, IA, Aug. 4, 1908.
Editor Public Opinion.
Dear Sir: Canada Thistle Seed
This question was discussed at the re-
cent address l gave in Decorah and
one farmer contended it produced
seed. l stated that as a general thing
the Canada thistle does not seed in
this state and reported l had examined
the seed from a great many places
and had found seed only twice in this
state. In my mail this morning
received a specimen of Canada
thistle from Mr.. Paige of Fit. Dodge,
who stated the weed was growing
abundantly in that vicinity. In the
specimen sent me of four or five heads
/ found two or three seed in each head
which seems to indicate that at least
in a few places it does seed in this
state. If the man who called atten-
tion to this and said I was mistaken
on this point will kindly communi.
cate with me l will appreciate the
favor. / am inclined to think pro-
badly more seed is produced than
have supposed. 1t does not follow
that when you see the fluffy heads of
Canada thistle that 1T seeds. 1t
flowers freely and the fluffy heads
are simply part of the flower.
Yours truly,
l.. H. Pammel.

In Iowa the public road belongs to
the adjoining land except the right of
the public to use it as a highway.
Anything that grows on the side of
the road, such as hay. grass for pas
ture. trees. or anything of that sort,
belongs to the owner of the land
abutting the road. The public has a
right TO use the road for purposes of
travel and to drive live stock along it.
1t does not have the right to needless.
ly destroy hay or grass growing en-
the road or to take possession of it to
the detriment of the adjoining land
owner. Section 1914 of the Iowa
Code provides that stock shall not be
considered as running at large when
being driven on the road if it is under
the immediate care and efficient con-
troll of the owner. II the stock is not
under the care of the owner or his
representative, it may be considered
as running at large and may be taken
up by the owner of the land adjoin-
ing the road and held for damages.
This does not, however, give anyone
the right to herd stock OH the portion
of the public road adjoining the land
of another, without permission from
the owner. -Waverly Independent.

A conference was held Wednesday
afternoon between party of New
York capitalists and delegations from
the commercial clubs of Charles City,
Greene, Allison. Parkersburg and
other places relative to the construc-
tion of an electric line from Charles
City to Des Moines via Marshalltown.
The meeting was harmonious and
enthusiastic. The route of the pro-
posed line lies through the towns of
Greene, Allison, Parkersburg, Grundy
Center and Conrad into Marshall
town. from which place it will prob
ably extend to Des Moines. The
ninety miles from here to Marshall
town will cost in the neighborhood of
two million dollars. If the commit.
tees are favorably impressed with the
proposition. as seems likely. the en-
tire party will make tour of the pro.
posed route by auto.

When the citizen contributes to the
campaign fund of his party it is
nearly always because his partisan
spirit has been aroused and he desires
its success. The corporation is inn
personal, in other words sit has no
SOUL" therefore its campaign con.
tribution could not possibly arise
from partisan enthusiasm. When it's
managers contribute to- the rarity
treasury it is simply and solely be-
cause the corporation either wants
some special favor in the future or
protection in those it already has.
And it is usually the case that
promises made in return for contribu-
tion; are better kept than those made
in the platform. If that was not so
does anyone believe that it would
have been possible for the highly pro-
tected interests to have defeated the
reciprocity policy advocated by the
republican party for twenty years and
to carry out which Mr.. Mckinley
gave such valiant service? What
effect did the efforts of Mr.. Roosevelt
have in that line as compared with
the quiet contributions of the same
interests? Contributions by cor
porations tend to commercialize
politics and there has been entirely too
much money spent in campaigns. =
