DAwLEv FOR sUPREME COURT.

| DAWIey fOH 0OrNcME SOOnt.
We take pleasure In presenting to
the people Of Iowa Hon. F. F. Dawley
of Cedar Rapids for Judge of the
Supreme Court, subject to the Repub-
lican convention next Tuesday.
In the selection Of two candidates
for judges of the sumpreme court Of
Iowa to be made by the next repub-
lican, Mr.. F. r. Dawley of Cedar Rap
ids, occupies conspicuous place, for
com bined with his eminent qualifica-
tions is the fact he,won the heartfelt
thanks Of every lawyer in the state
for being instrumental in securing
the abolishment Of assignments Of
error in appeals to the supreme court"
and Is entitIe6 to the kindly consider
alton Of every farmer and small COM
munity in the state for his efforts In
securing the passage sof the law es-
tablishing the Iowa state library COM
mission. 81
The "old assignment of errors in
appeals" was stringent rule Of tech
nical procedure which required dis
mfssal Of an appeal for slight vio-
lation Of the rules regardless OF the
merits of the appeal and accordingly
was cause for loss of many just ap-
peals to both the lawyers and the
clients whom they represented. See
ing the unjustness Of this technical
procedure to both persons having
causes of action and to the lawyers
representing them, Mr.. Dawley took
decided stand against 1t and was
largely instrumental in securing the
modification. F..
Mr.. Dawley's name was placed in
the field Of candidates by the unani-
nous votes of the Linn County Bar.
Cedar Rapids being his home now and
for the past thirty-four years.. He Is
native of Iowa, having been born IN
Ft. Dodge in 1856. He was educated
in the public schools of that city and
after leaving high school taught for
nearly two years, studying law at
the same time He was graduated from
the law department of the Michigan
university in 1873 and then entered
the law Office of Hubbard, Clark and
then he has given his entire time to
the law business, his diversion being
work in the interest of education. For
some twelve years he served as
member of the library board and
eight years on the board of education,
being president of each part of the
time. -
His qualifications combined with
pleasing personality will make Mr..
Dawley one of the most prominent
figures before the state convention
when it comes to the nomination Of
two candidates for the two positions
to be vacant at the close Of this year.
