Special to Times-Republican.
! Des Moines, Feb. County Auditor
F,raze has put up to the attorney gem
erals office another interesting aues
ton about primary lists. What he
wants to know is whether in the prepa-
ration of the primary lists for the June
primary he is to be guided solely by
the list of June, 1905, or by the list of
November, 1903, or whether he shall
make UP the list as of June and add
thereto the additional names voted In
November. 1t is recalled that a great
many more voted at the November pri-
mary than in June and that where a
voter offered himself in November.
whose affiliation had not already been
/ recorded, he then designated what
party he belonged to. The law says the
lists shall be made up from the poll
books of the last preceding primary"
The Importance of the question is read
lily seen. II would at first seem that
the proper way is TO include all on both
lists and it Is probable that unless
somebody finds some law against this
plan it will be adopted.
Attorney Ben Salinger raised before
the supreme court in an alinony case
a question which has considerable
bearing on the divorce problem, and If
his contention should be sustained and
be acted upon by the legislature and
the courts it would materially affect
the issue of divorce. He argued that in
divorce cases there is third party
at interest namely, the public: there
fore that the code must be very strict
IL followed in setting up allegations,
and il would therefore follow that there
could be no waiver OF statutory re-
Quirenents and 10 DEGREES by agree
ment. # the public has an interest in
divorces good deal of the private
room decree business will have to go.
The newest political move to save
Captain Hull is 10 arrange il SO that
Tor the few weeks when votes are
needed. the captain is TO be just on the
point 81 having the headquarters Of
the Department of Missouri moved
from Omaha to Des Moines. The facts
in regard 10 the plan leaked out this
week. ard as il is given premature
publicity there IS fear the effect on the
primary will not be as great as was in
tended. 1t is also much feared that the
army post VIII be abandoned some
tin1e unless the headquarters are moved
here. The whole plan is being worked
UP IN Washington where it is said there
IS very great desire that Hull should
continue 10 hold his seat in congress.

Members Of the railroad commits
sion are disposed 10 treat with ievity
a statement credited to Don Stearns
Of Humboldt, as published locally, in
which he was made to criticize the
STATE railroad commission for having
been unjust to the railroads in the
matter of coal shipments The inter-
view would leave the impression that
the commission issued some sort Of an
order 10 move coal. when nothing Of
the kind was contemplated, and in fact
al the commission did was TO use
moral suasion, as it We're. on the rail- /
roads. The same kind of influence is
now being brought on the railroads 20 +

Announcement of the candidacy Of
Thomas H. Grubb is candidate for
clerk Of the supreme court caused no
great surprise tho of late there haa
been some prospect of a clear field for
the present incumbent This p-ecipi-
tates q fight on that office. Coionei
Bousquet is of Marion county and
Grubb is resident of Louisa county
and equally we'll established as
standpatter. Mr.. Grub came to the
office as file clerk seven years ago and
has had much of the ne I'd routine work
10 do and in fact has been about as
faithful and competent a. man could
we'll be. He was a soldier in the Span
ish war and served thru the Philippine
campaign in the Iowa regiment. Mr..
Grub before making his announce
ment very properly filed his resig1a-
ton and Colonel Bousquet refused to
accept it, but he will quit March l.
1t is expected that within very
short time there will be a meeting of
the republican state committee, also
of the democratic state committee, and
that these campaign organizations will
prepare for the coming campaign. Two
years ago the committee meetings were
held earlier than this. because of it
being presidential year. Dates will be
