Provision was made for the printing of
the three or four bills passed in pamphlet
form, so that lawyers can add the
pamphlet to their volume of session laws,
and these are to be distributed free to
lawyers; but the recess agreement, which
makes it certain the present session will
not close until In November, leaves the
matter so that the laws cannot be printed
until after final adjournment. The amend
ment to the primary law will be included
in the volume on election laws that is
sent out to clerks and Judges of election
for their guidance. The minor appropria-
ton bills passed came near getting com
pletely lost, as today the secretary of
state made inquiry for them and found
they had not been sent to the governor
for his signature. Inquiry showed they
had been returned to the senate and were
enrolled, but that the secretary had not
cared for them afterwards. They were
found and sent to the governor in time TO
he all right.

CANDIDATES FOR SENATOR
Number of Names Being Discussed in
Addition to Cummins.
WALTER 1. SMITH UNDECIDED
Certainty of Position In House
IncIInes Him 20 Pass Up Uncertain
Contest for Place In the
Senate.
CFrom a staff correspondent

DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. l2.-(special)-
The gossip of the day In political circles
has suddenly turned to the probable can
didates for the republican endorsement for
United States senator under the law just
passed. The following are regarded as
in the list of availables:
Governor A. b. Cummins. Des Moines.
Major ]. L. Lacy, Oskaloosa.
Congressman w. l. smith, Council
Bluffs.
CONGRESSMAN j. p. Conner, Denison.
Frank ID. jackson, Des Moines.
George L. Dobson, Des Moines.
Joe r. Lane. Davenport,
Harvey Ingham, Des Moines.
e. L. Hart, Council Bluffs.
1t is regarded as certain that Governor
Cummins will be a candidate again, and
the only question is who will go against
him. 1t has been intimated here that
Judge Smith is not anxious to drop hts
place in congress to make the race. There
is some desire to get a candidate who
lives in Des Moines in order to offset
the home support Of the governor. But
on the other hand there is serious talk
that there will be no candidate on the
ticket except the governor and that he
will receive the unanimous endorsement
Of his party. 1t is expected that in a
short time a conference will be held to
decide the matter.

NMr. Earle a Ca n didate.

Charles A. Earle. of Middlebury, hav-
ing eceived assurance of support from
many friends throughout the Addison
District, has announced his candidacy
for Judge of Probate.
Born in Worcester. Mass, educated in
the public schools and graduated from
the Polytechnic Institute there in 1882,
Mr.. Earle occupied leading position
with the well-known builders, n orcross
Brothers, for nearly twenty years.
Impaired health occasioned by over
work necessitatiDg his. resignation of
that position, he located in Middlebury
and while recuperating his health pre-
pared for the bar, being admitted from
this county in 1905, since which time he
has been in active practice here.
While he has never aspired to political
honors, his education and business train
ing, coupled with painstaking and
methodical disposition, would seem am
ply TO warrant his friends in urging his
nomination.
