where he had been working on an
extra gang on railroad.
Hogan, who was with him at the
time of the accident stated this morn
ing that Dalton worked yesterday and
that last night they made the rounds
of the saloons and had wandered to
the tracks and were walking toward
Vine street when the train from the

OPINIONS VARY
AS TO method
AN EXPRESSION FROM SEVERAL
LOCAL REPUBLICANS ON
SENATORIAL VOTE
is NOT UNANIMOUS
Varying Views on What Constitutes
:. Real Party Featy- Legislature
Seeks Advice From
Constituents.

From Fridays Daily.
At a special meeting of the state
legislature which was called few
days ago by Governor Cummins to
convene Monday, August 81, in order
to amend the primary election law
so as to permit of the vote by the Re-
publicans OF the state on the senator
ial question, the action of the legisla-
ture will be greatly Influenced by the
expression of party members in the
state. The Courier has seen number
of local Republicans and obtained an
expression from them as to their at
titude on the question of how the can
didates for senator shall be voted for
in the coming general election.
Three plans are being considered
by the party leaders, and in all prob
ability one of the three plans will be
adopted The methods considered are
as follows:
"a In order to have a vote on
the selection of United States senator
the Republican voter shall vote the
entire party ticket straight.
(2) In order to have vote on the
selection of United States senator the
Republican voter shall vote the
straight ticket down to the county Of
| fees.
90 That an entirely separate bal
lot be printed on which the names Of
the candidates for the United States
senate will appear.
In the first and second plan the
names of the candidates for United
States senate will appear on the Re
publican ticket in the regular ballo
in the general election.
While many Republicans were in
terviewed as to their opinion OF
the question today, all could not b
seen, and the Courier will be glad tt
hear from any member of the part!
expressing his opinion on the bes
plan to be adopted by the legislature
in the special session to convene OF

GAZING OF DITCH

THREE TONS OF EARTH.
From fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
After being muried under three tons
of earth for over fifty minutes, w. III.
Howard, of Bashaw street, was res
cued by fellow workmen uninjured.
The accident happened at the new
sewer lire which is being laid on
Sheridan avenue, at about O'Clock
last evening. while Mr.. Howard was
working in the bottom of the ditch
where a cavein earlier in the day SER
iously injured Charles Cord.
Mr.. Howard was digging in the bot
tom of the ditch when about three
tons of the earth became loosened and
fell completely burying him. Fellow
workmen present seen the accident
and Immediately started to work with
shovels trying to locate him, but as he
was buried over three feet deep and
his exact location vas not known, 1T
was voer fifteen minutes before he was
located and rescued from the danger
Gus position. In telling Of his expert
ence Mr.. Howard said: Il was at
work in the bottom of the ditch when
the dirt fell. 1t seemed as though
several tons of eartl, was over me and
could only get little air but felt
sure they were searching for me al
though it seemed like hours before
the dirt was removed so I could get
my head out in the open. l was afraid
they would injure ne in trying to
rescue me but wasn't injured in the
least"

senator"
MAJOR T. P. SPILMAN-"It is I'M
reasonable to hold man to the en-
tire straight ticket or to restrict him
to the straight ticket down to the
county officers in order to permit OF
his privilege to vote on the senatorial
question. l believe that if a man will
support the head of the ticket, the
electors, legislative and congressional
candidates of the party, he is entitled
to voice in the senatorial selection
to come before the people again"
F. G. ORELUP-"I do not think
there is reason to fear that Demo
Gratis are going to sacrifice their party
rights by voting for the candidates for
senator on the Republican ticket this
fall | favor a REPETITION of the June
primary or separate ballot in prefer
ence to the straight ticket plans adj
vanced by some of the party"
A. G. HARROW-"I favor and am in

lOT DOlllNeI, VII IuS oSudGollal quCo-
ton, and think this plan fair to all.
1t evidently was agreed by all at the
conference a few days ago at Des
Moines."
f. w. SIMMONS-"I feel that to
entitle a member of the party to a
vote on the senatorial question, such
member should so thoroughly imbued
with the spirit of and interest in the
party as to vote the entire ticket
straight. To the plan of separate bal
lot am opposed"
R. r. RAMSELL-1 believe nc
votes should be counted on the sena
torial question unless the voter had
shown by the way he had voted the
rest of the ticket that he was Repub
E'lican, otherwise Democrat, or mem
Der of any other party could vote or

instance takes the place of the party

Expressions of Voters.

Expressions of Voters.
w. H. H. ASBURY. "The pro-
posed amendment to the Iowa pri-
mary law, in my opinion, should pro-
vide that anyone who votes for the
Republican electors, district and at
large, and for the Republican nomi-
nees for the state legislature, shall be
classed as Republican voters. One
thing only is being determined by this
special session of the Iowa legislature
viz: giving Republicans of Iowa a
statewide caucus to say whom they
prefer for the United States senator
ship after March LIST next. 1t is use
less to express preference at a spec
ial primary election unless it is fol-
lowed by the election of a sufficient
number Of Republican members of the
