Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE ban of
prescription has been placed upon
Judge Horace r. Deemer and the jack
son committee has decreed that he
shall not, at least so long as the jack
son-Lacey-Hepburn junta is not rec
ognized as supreme, be permitted to
gain federal position. 1t is recalled
that this junta issued a firebrand
pamphlet under the name Of 'tStalwart
Republican" circulated at the state
convention in expectation it would pre-
| cipitate a riot, and that this was print
ed in Atlantic by that typical "stal-
wart," Charles L. Chase. Now comes
the latter in his paper. the Walter 1.
smith organ, with bitter denunciation
of Judge Deemer. declaring that he is
not big enough for the place he
| seeks" and continuing:
| Taft would be d good deal denser
in politics than we think he is If he
would think of giving a supreme judge
ship to a state In open revolt against
. his administration, and especially to
county that is among the rankest
fighters against his administration I'M
der the Cumnins banner"
| This sort of q representation of the
situation as to Judge Deemer carried
| to Washington might easily have some
| influence, unless the truth should
happen also to be heard. Continuing
the literary agent of the Jackson COM
nittee writes:
SIT may be that Judge Deemer is not
an insurgent, but if he has made any
effort to stem the tide Of insurgency In
| its hatred of Taft the News has not
1 learned of it. Let the judgeships go to
men who have the courage of their
conviction and to states that are
loyal"
| This last sentence also throws light
on the fact that Postmaster Myers OF
Denison, who was sent by the jackson
committee into Deemer'S home county
to corrupt the voters and who failed to
capture the county. has come out in
the Denison Review for the democratic
candidate for judge in opposition to
Judge Deemer. His campaign was os-
tensibly In behalf of regularity but
at the first chance he bolts the ticket
Int is evident that Deemer. along with
Thorne and some others. is marked for
slaughter by the political junta which
has assumed ownership of the state OF
| Iowa.
| The three regiments Of the Iowa
national guard fell short just a few or
having 1000 men at the encampment
| in Wisconsin this week. The Fifty
! fifth regiment has the largest number
Of men, but the three are nearly even
| ly divided. An encampment Of this
kind is a pretty expensive proposition
but the benefits are great to the people.
Reports from the camp say that the

Both Senator's Cummins and Dolllver
will be in Wisconsin the last week Of
the month to aid the progressive cause
and to advise how best to help the re-
publican party. Senator LaFollette Is
having the fight of his life. Senator
| Clapp Of Minnesota, is to start In at
Duluth and cross the state on a big
tour. Deliver Is to have one speech
| in Milwaukee which he IS expected to
make a warm one.
The district court here did the IN
expected in refusing to grant as a
special favor to the governor Of the
state that his case be advanced week
ahead of all other criminal cases on
the court docket. 1t was supposed
that the political pressure would be
sufficient so that the court would be
willing to incur the additional ex-
pense to the taxpayers to have this
case tried out Of its turn. But the
| judges could not see 1t that way In
fact, II was plainly intimated that If
| there was to be any special fayors
shown it would be to some one OF the
many who are unable to give bail and
are awaiting the action Of the court.
This is not question involving the
chief executive Of the state as such"
said one of the attorneys in the case.
1T is personal matter relating to Mr..
Carroll In court Mr.. Carroll is on
exactly the same footing as Mr.. Jopes
and MIR. Zbinsky and Mr.. Anybody.
Now there are a good many men -
some of them no doubt entirely inno-
cent-n Jail awaiting the action of the
courts. Some of them have families
that are in want and there is reason
for asking that their cases be fastened.
But neither the personal comfort Of
Mr. Carroll nor the affairs of state are
suffering in the least by the delay"
1t is expected that the court will be
harsh1y criticised for failure to order
a trial in advance of the rest Of the
docket.
The irony of politics was never bet
ter illustrated than in the case of an
old soldier who came all the way from
Danvi1le, ILL.,, to Des Moines to see Sen
ator Cunmins and to enlist his great
influence at Washington and in con-
gress in behalf of another old soldier,
who has been unable to secure justice
at the hands of the government.
