A new CONDITION IN
SENATORIAL FIGHT

cially before the meeting of the
Democrats Wednesday night, in or
der to have the position of some of
the candidates understood
The purpose in bringing this up
is that the party choice pledge
requires the man taking it to stand
by the party choice at all times.
What is now wanted IS pledge
that will require the legislator to
stand by the party choice so long
as there is any chance of election,
after which the legislator is to be
released to support PoindeXter on
the other side of the house.
If an arrangement is made by
which Democrats can run on plat
form of this kind number of them
will file for legislative honors.

HELD UP TWICE
BY SAME MAN

Twice Saturday night Nels Lar
son was held up by the same gang
of robbers, who apparently didn't
recognize in their victim the sec
ond time the man they had frisked
a few minutes before.
Early Saturday evening Larson
was stopped at the corner of Freya
and Second and relieved of his
watch and $26 in real money. Lar
son went to a corner grocery,
phoned the police, and was about
half a block towards his home,
when he was stopped by the same
three stick-up men. They rushed
him behind some trees and then
saw he was the man they had just
robbed. They told him to get a
move on, and fastened in an Oppo-
site direction.

Pneumonia Weather.

New York Herald: The pronounced
mild spell developing yesterday over
the Atlantic states seems to indicate
the arrival of an extended period in
which there is often a great increase
of pneumonia and other diseases of
the respiratory organs. This period
lasts from the close Of February until
the middle of April, during which the
variations OF temperature are excep-
tionally rapid, sometimes exceeding
80 degrees in single day in New York
Such changes are especially dangerous
when the vital energy Of most peo-
pie has been much lowered by the cold
and storms of midwinter. Although
spring is three weeks off, the mild and
relaxing spells are liable to be very
suddenly broken by violent icy gales
in this section. During this morbif-
ic period the best safeguards against
the diseases of the season are the re-
tention, as far as possible, of warm
clothing and the careful maintenance
Of good Objection and ample nourish-
ment, together with the avoidance of
overwork and all excuses.

Mr.. Prouty, insurgent candidate for
congress in the Seventh district, has
delivered his first speech. The Cedar
Rapids Republican declares that it is
such a speech as jim Weaver would
never have thought of making, and
goes on to say concerning insurgents
generally:
He is one of the. gentlemen, sup
posed to be members of the Republi-
can party, who think it is their priv
lege to set up new ideas and utter
ances for the Republican party every
time they think it necessary to run
for office. 1t used to be that the party
itself made its platforms and men
lined UP with the will of the majority.

and enunciate lot of populism aud

At banquet at the University club
in Washington Tuesday evening, Presi-
dent Taft voiced the thought that we
are in danger of a period of hysteria
and that there is need of return to
sane thinking and common sense. The
gist of what he said on this point is
contained in the following paragraph:
Il believe we are passing through
period where we need sane and nor
NAL thinking, where the sensitive con-
dition of the public is likely to lead
it into hysteria, period where the
public must be brought to sane think
ing and common sense. | do not know
of any class of men more charged
with that duty than the university
men,
The President conceded that an oc-
casional university man is over educat-
ed and that he goes beyond the bounds
of common sense. but he declared that
the great body of university men, after
they have been out of college long
enough to learn the ways of the world
may be counted upon to reach safe
and sane conclusions.
