Absent, IL; necessary to elect 73.
The entrance into the senatorial
race of Mr.. Sammis Of LeMars was the
feature of today's joint ballot. 1t is
understood that Funk followers,
eleventh district men, will throw their
support to Sammis. 1t is expected that
there will be several dark horse"
candidates before the week is over.
A "Do Nothing Legislature.
When it comes to casting up ac-
counts and finding out just what the
Iowa legislature has accomplished
during the present session, one finds
that 1t has done just about as near to
nothing as could be imagined.
There are those who smile and say,
I and not without excuse, that it is a
good thing. Every winter one can hear,
on the street, on the cars and about
the hotels, the remark that the state
of Iowa would be better off with fewer
legislative sessions. 1t isn't only the
man who is engaged in the liquor busi-
ness who talks that way, either. It's
the business man who handles dry
goods instead of wet ones; the banker,
the land holder, the farmer and many
others. There are some reasons for
their view, and none will deny 1t. not
even the legislators themselves. Some
Of the so-called reforms turn out to be
vicious laws-some of those that are
enacted in all seriousness with an eye
to the general good. They don't work
out as the theory promises.
But this year the legislature could
have kept itself busy enough to earn
the money it costs, merely making
good laws and changing bad ones. The
matters of taxation that are crying for
consideration, the good roads measures
that should be spread upon the statute
books and the corporation legislation
that is needed, have been set aside
For such questions as the special pri-
mary, the Oregon plan, and the sena-
torial scrap.
Politics has the present session in
its grasp, and is holding on like grim
death.
Speaker Stillman is worried badly
by the lack Of progress in the house,
but it is not his fault. When the ses-
sion ends and It is found that not even
hard working Sitting committee could
bring order out Of the chaos of bills
that will be piled up by the time sift-
Ing committee is appointed, it will not
be possible nor logical to blame the
speaker. He has given the committees
warning after warning: he has pleaded
for progress, but progress is unheari

WISCONSIN TODAY

Madison. wis. Nov. 4.The Iowa
Football eleven, twenty-five strong,
reached here for the game with wis
consir. Both teams appear to be in
the best of condition, Wisconsin hav-
Ing come out of the Northwestern
game without any injuries to speak Of
while the same can be said of the
hawkeye squad
Coach Richards eleven is hopeful of
victory by a decisive score. The
team which will take the field tomor-
row will be the strongest and in the
best condition of any squad that has
represented the badger university t3
date.
Iowa Is figured on playing the open
game and using O'Brien, the great
kicker to advantage and the hawkeye
rooters expect the freshman to score
at least two goals from the field.
Should Iowa prove an easy PROPOSE
ton, Richards will throw in practically
all of the second team, for fear Of in
juring any Of the regulars.

Greencastle, Ind, Nov. 4-The Mich
igan aggies won from Depauw here
yesterday by the score Of 8 to o on

ment which followed nearly broke up
the game.
