Hear From Constituents.
d, Early today members OF the loSisla-
tdfS connhtenced hearing from their
constituents ana learning Of tho general
ctesire of the people to have the dead
lock ended A great many kilograms
a.nd letters were receivd. The news Of
yesterdays events had penetrated to
every corner of the state. While many
OF the legislators had hesitated and
the sessio nwas over yesterday. there
were others ready to give assurance
that Deemer is all right
sASS
utmost good feeling prevailed and a
goodly number Of prominent republic
cans from outside the city appeared to
take hand in the game. That which
seemed to be most remarkable was that
SO few knew Just what to say about
Judge Deemer. A great many members
Of the legislature frankly confessed to
no acquaintance with the Judge. He
has not taken a hand in state politics
and the new members OF the legislature
were in doubt about how to look at the
movement. But among the lawyers OF
the state his candidacy met with i'm
mediate approval.
Some Of the older members Of the
legislature warmed up to Judge Deemer
because Of the interest he has always
taken In everything pertaining to edu-
cation and rural life. -Four years ago
he appeared before committees and
spoke long and earnestly in favor OF
bills for agricultural high schools and
for college extension work. He was q
pioneer in this work and he has done
much toward arousing interest in the
betterment Of conditions on the farms.
