Special to Tines-Repub,ican.
Des Moines, July 26.-PresidenI
Urick Of the Iowa Federation Of La.
Dor has no notion that he stands any
chance of appointment to fedora
! position in Iowa under the present ad.
ministration. He is backed by the
Iowa republican delegation unani-
mously and, 80 far as known, no per-
| son in the state has word to say
against his capability for the position
of United States marshal. But 1t has
leaked out that Immediately upon an
nouncement being made Of his In
dorsement by the Iowa delegation, Otto
Barnard Of New York took 1t up with
the president and settled 1t that Urich
never will be appointed.
Barnard is the man, 1t Is alleged, e
whom N. E. Gurnsey, the railroad and
corporation attorney Of this city. wrote
and denounced Judge Deemer Of the
supreme court at the time the latter
was being urged for the supreme
| bench. Barnard is credited with decid-
ing that matter, as the railroads were
very much opposed to Deemer. 1t was
Urick who exposed promptly the rec
ord Of Judge Pitncy when the latter
was appointed to the supreme bench.
One delegate at the progressive
state convention failed to attract the
attention his due. This was the man
who wanted the convention to include
the recall in the list Of approved po-
litical reforms. He spoke earnestly
and strongly for this suggestion, but
the convention really felt overloaded
with ideas and did not care to indulge
further.
The delegate was A. D. Pugh OF this
city, two times candidate for COVER
nor on the socialist ticket. and one OF
the very leaders Of the socialist party
in this. state for years.
Mr. Pugh is man Of real ability
and much force. He has announced
his affiliation with the new party.
II am ready to abandon my old party
for a new one" he said. II believe IN
Theodore Roosevelt and that thru him
we will advance for the common good:
But do believe In the recall and the
right Of the voters to Gust from onice
men they have placed in office II they
Ana them TO be untrue to the trust.
Mr.. Pugh says that as the new party
is to be composed Of republicans ana
democrats and all others. he Is reacy
to go with 1t.
Nothing has as yet been heard IRON,
Clifford Thorne and Judge Henderson
on their work before the official clas-
sifcation committee in New York with
regard to retaining present rates on
butter, eggs and live poultry to eastern
points. The shippers Of the state are
said to have become very much as1.
tated over the matter and declare that
IL the contemplated changes are PEI
nitted to go into effect 1t Will greatiS
reduce the market or the price tor
produce. It seems. however, that
great deal OF the butter, especially that
sent out of Iowa. is shipped at hrst-
class rates now, because of the deslre
to send it on the express trains rather
than on the freight trains 1t Is there
fore billed at less than carload rates
But the shippers insist that the change
will reduce the price Of produce IN
Iowa. The official classification COM
mi.tee did not want to hear at all from
the Iowa commission and discovery OF
the plan for change in classification
to effect a raise in rates was made
without the matter being published
