BEEDLE FINALLY
AND SURELY WINS
THE EQUITY SUIT OF ABBOTT
FAILS TO STAND IN
COURT.
JUDGE LUCK REFUSES TO
ISSUE TEMPORARY
INJUNCTION.
Madison, Oct.


James z. Abbott has no longer any
chance of getting the republican nom
nation for commissioner of insur-
ance, his last hope being extinguished
yesterday in the circuit court by d
decision rendered by Judge NJ. L.
Lueck, who sat in the proceeding for
Judge Stevens. The petition prayed
for an injunction to restrain Secre-
tary Of State Frear from certifying
the name of George E. Beedle to the
county clerks as the republican nom
inee and an order requiring the sec
Rotary Of state to certify the name OF
Abbott as such nominee. Judge
Lueck held that even if the direct a.
legations Of the petitioner we're as
sumed to be true, that is all the allie
cations based upon knowledge, he
Mr. Beedles total. AS to the other
allegations, based upon information
and belief and general in character,
the Judge said he could not grant the
j a
basis. In other words the petitioner
had not made a sufficiently strong
case in his petition to warrant the is
suance Of a temporary injunction. To
issue the injunction, therefore, would
be to do irrevocabIe injury to Mr.
BeedIe, which the court did not feel
warranted in doing.
The decision was delivered orally
by the judge in the presence of Mr..
Beedle, Attorney c. A. A. MCGEE and
Assistant Attorney General A c.
Titus. Neither Mr.. Abbott nor his
attorney, John B. Sanborn. was in
court In fact, Mr. Abbott has not
been in court at all during this pro-
ceeding and it is said that he was
personally Indifferent as to it's out
come, but consented to take the
chance to please some of his friends.
