use of federal patronage against

means more than this. The Senate
is the stronghold of the opposition
to Taft, as it is antagonistic to Pres

CLOTHING IOWA 81 &C
HOUSE OF QUALITY
Observation-Disclosures

a winner in an effort to secure the
solid delegation of the south, including
Oklahoma and Maryland. To turn the
tide of sentiment in the safes south
of the Mason and Dixon line towards
Johnson, half million circular letters
have been mailed to Democratic voters
from the Johnson headquarters in
Chicago.
In these letters the Johnson dope is
frankly scheduled. 1t is shown that
242 electoral votes are required TO
name a president in the final count
The Johnson bureau declares that the
Minnesota governor, If nominated,
would secure 166 electoral votes from
the solid south, including Oklahoma
and Maryland. It is also claimed that
johnson would carry Colorado Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah,
North Dakota, and Washington in the
west, with total vote of 20 in the
electoral college. 1t is also claimed
that Johnson would carry the state of
New York with 80 electoral votes.
Thus Johnson is given 234 votes. Since
242 are necessary to nominate, the
Minnesotean would still be eight votes
shy. His bureau gives him his home
state of Minnesota, which has been
Republican since the memory of men
runneth not to the contrary and there
II electoral votes from Minnesota give
Johnson 245 in all, or three more than
enough to elect.
To Bryan then this Johnson schedule
is very interesting. In the campaign
of 1896 Bryan only got 176 electoral
votes and in the campaign Of 1900 he
fell to 155 electoral votes, where John
son now says he could get 245. Bryan
never carried Maryland, for example
although Judge Parker did in 1904 1t
Is probably upon this later showing
that Johnson men say that he could
secure the Maryland vote. It is de-
clared that Bryan could do equally
well in Maryland the present year. In
the eight western states which John
son claimes, Bryan in both his pre-,
Idaho, Montana, and Nevada He car
ried Utah, Washington and Wyoming
in 1896, but lost them In 1900. He
never carried North Dakota. OF course
Bryan never carried New York or Min
nesota. Bryan leaders claim that if
Taft is nominated that the representa-
ton Of Roosevelt's policies will make
the Democratic nominee an easy win,
ner in New York state, regardless of
name or personality. They too claim
New York. In addition they claim the
state of Nebraska, which Bryan car.
ried in 1896. but lost in 1900. They
claim the state of Kansas, which
Bryan carried in SO and lost in
1900. They claim South Dakota,
which he carried in '96 and lost in
1900.
These Emergencies in claims be-
tween Johnson and Bryan headquar-
tiers but makes the problem the more
difficult to solve. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that the Nebraskan can control
more than majority of the conven.

JOHNSON BOOM
SHOWS ADVANCE
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE BE-
GINNING TO WONDER OVER
THE OUTCOME.
BY Hendrick.

Washington, d. c., May THE
Democratic presidential ticket be-
comes more of conundrum as the
convention day approaches rather than
the less conundrum. There is no
doubt in Washington that the boom of
Governor John A. Johnson of Mimi
esota is splendidly advancing. The
sole question seems to be whether the
handicap of his late start in the race
can be overcome by the enthusiasm of
his finish. By the political leaders Of
the country Bryan is more feared
than loved; and paradoxical as it may
seem, the fear is result of love, al
though the affection is the affection Of
the great common Democratic masses
rather than of the Democratic cabinet
of leaders.
There was time four months ago
when Bryan had the nomination
cinched. There was time three
months ago when it was an even bet
that Bryan could not secure two
thirds Of the Democratic convention
There was time two months ago
when Bryan's star again appeared in
the asceDdency Just at present 1t Is
again the season of the ants. The
question is which side will be at bat
Then the umpire calls the game at
Denver
If Governor Johnson were a vice
presidential aspirant instead of a pres
idential candidate, the equation would
be easily answered.; because no power
on earth could prevent the nomination
of the ticket. Bryan and Johnson, if
such We're a possibility. Johnson has
not said that he would be unwilling to
make his personal ambitions subservi-
ent to the best interests Of his party.
He has not said he would not accept
the second place with Bryan. The dis
turbing fact is that his presidential
canvass is going on wit h undated
vigor and with continuously increasing
fruits.
Frederick B. Lynch, in charge of
Governor Johnson's Chicago central
bureau, has just left Washington after
an exhaustive conference with Demo
cratic leaders in the capital. Mr.. Lynch
would tell you that nothing can stop
the Johnson movement. In fact, he is
trying desperately to made a noise
like a band wagon with the hope that
outsiders will climb aboard. Among
other trump cards, he has just played

Fines aggregating $2,700 and costs
were assessed against gamblers and
keeper of houses of i'll fame by Judge
Vermilion yesterday. OF this amount
$1,000 was paid within one hour after
judgment had been passed.
Matte Dale, keeper of resort in
what was known as the old Baker
house on South Green street. was the
first to be called before the bar.
Have you anything to say why
judgmen should not be passed
again against you," asked the court.
She shook her head, meaning no.
"Your fine will be $500 and you will
stand committed to the county jail
until the fine and costs are paid"
There Was Dismay.
AT this juncture a look Of dismay
spread over the faces of the attorneys
for the women. All the women had
pleaded guilty to the indictments of
prostitution, having changed their
pleas from mot guilty" The at
torneys while not commenting on the
case plainly expressed their opinion
by action that the fine was larger
than anticipated.
Lille Dale, the former keeper of
a resort next door to that Of her
sister, was fined like amount, Min
ME Finnifan, who says she doesn't
know how old she is, was given a like
fine. Lou Ross, colored, was fined
$4OO.
William Follenbeck appeared by at
torney and pleaded guilty to keeping
a gambling house at Eldon. His fine
was $500.
Charles Clark, the colored gambler
convicted Ny jury last week, was
given fine of 5000; making a grand
total of $4,000
Matte and Lille Pay.
Matte and Lille Dale paid their
fines amounting to $1,000 within an
hour after judgment had been passed
Two are Committed.
Minnie Finnigan and Lou Ross, who
kept houses in Smoky row, were com
mitted to Jail.
This action of Judge Vermilion
clears up the docket as far as possible
of the cases dug up by the January
grand jury when Judge Roberts was
on the bench, but which were passed
over to this term of court.
The greater portion of the gambling
cases were disposed of last term, and
some Of those sentenced have served
their time and are free men again.
Jury Still Out.
The jury in the case Of the state
against Charles Ware charged with as.
sault with intent to do great bodily
harm on the person of S. G. Fitzgerald
last January in the road at Village
Creek hill, have not yet agreed on a
verdict. The case was given to the
jury last night shortly after 5 O'clock
Larceny Case.
The case of the state of Iowa against
John Minnick charging larceny was

Minnick is charged with stealing a

lington engine in the local yards
several weeks ago.

Glasmann Tries to Get Around the
Protective Committee

Because his papers have not been re-
ceiving share of the city printing Will
liam Glasmann stirred up considerable ag-
itatiOn among the members of the council
last evening. Councilman Humphris.
chairman of the special committee on
printing. received some adverse criticism
but Glasmann's kick was finally referred
70 his committee. Some time ago a special
committee was created to handle the city
printing TO prevent eXcrbitant prices be-
ing charged. Since that time the Glas-
mann papers have not received the work
Feeling sighted at this action Giasmann
sent a letter to the recorder offering a low
bid for the work and thus ignoring the
committee. The letter was read last night
and after an effort to give Glasmann the
contract had failed to Nbid went the usual
course to the special committee.
Following an agreement reached at an
executive session in the mayors office.
