CARRY FIGHT TO PREVENT PLAc.
ING OF ROOSEVELT ELECTORS
ON BALLOT INTO COURT.
ALLEGED THAT eTATE
LAW DOES NOT APPLY
Seats in Electoral College Hold Not
estate Offices" and Names Can Not
Go On Ticket by Petition-Namss
Have Boon Placed on Ballots by Pc
t;tien Many Times Heretofore.

Des Moines, July 22.-If the Roose-
welt progressives are given show for
their lives before the Iowa voters they
Will have to fight for that show thru
the courts and before hostile state Of
ficials.
AS last desperate resort to keep the
Iowa voters from the right to protest
against Taft. without becoming demo-
Gratis, it has been decided by the rump
committee, under pressure from the
outside. to go into court, II need be,
to prevent the placing on the official
Iowa ballot OF the name OF Theodore
Roosevelt, IL he Is candidate, and OF
candidate for presidential elector who
would, IL given place in the electoral
college," vote for Roosevelt.
Use Injunction Method.
The present plan Is to ask an IN
junction OF the courts to prevent the
state officials certifying out to county
auditors the names Of candidates for
presidential electors nominated by pc
tition.
The same sort Of proceeding has been
already started. The boilers VINO nave
seeded from the regular party went
into a district court to secure an mum
ton to stop having the county audi
tors put on the official ballots tne
names Of Roosevelt candidates Tor eiec-
tors at the primary vet to be held. Iney
set up the claim that the court could
decide that Taft was rightfuliy NOM
mated and anyone not pledged to ne
for him could not go on the ballot
The regulars met the attack by going
into supreme court asking mandamus
to compel the printing OF the names
OF candidates. 1t is not yet settled.
The basis Of the contemplated action
In Iowa Is that a presidential eleceor 10
not a state office" and the state cleo
ton law does not make any provision
for independent candidates for electors
by petition. It Is true that the Ia"
refers specifically to "state offices" only
and at first glance this might ne
thought to exclude state OFFICERS VINO
have no other duty than to vote for
president.
On Ballot BY Petition.
But as a matter of fact presidential
electors have been on the ballots py
petition several times under this law.
The prohibitionists and socialists have
ayailed themselves OF the law and have
had their electors on the ballots even
when they were not legal political
parties. The precedent has been well
set in Iowa that candidates for elec-
tors can go on the ballot by petition
Still it is fact that those who re-
fuse to remain regular with the Iowa
republican party an dare planning gen
eral disruption have 1t in mind to pre-
vent thru the courts. II possible, the
candidacy Of independent republican
candidates for electors. and has al
ready caused the matter to be inquired
into by able lawyers.

In all parts of Iowa, are away ahead
of expectations and the hemp and sisal
factories turned out only the usual
amount Of twine this year. Farmers
who did not buy twine early are now
up against II.
Local dealers also state that they
can not lay In a large supply to guard
against such emergencies. as twine -
handled on about the same margin OF
profit a. grocers get out OF sugar. They
claim the binding twine trust compels
them to pay 3 cents a pound for the
twine and they must stand freight and
carriage on top Of this.
Last week tsine was selling here for
Sh cents a pound and 1t has raised to
cents.
The factories make only about
enough to supply the regular trade and
the result is that twine. such as is re-
quired for modern binders. Is now very
hard to obtain.

REED FACTION TO FIGHT.
Big Roy May DevsIep i9 Democratic
Convention Over Committeeman.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moine,s. July 22.-Unless the
democratic state convention Mt Cedar
Rap;ds elects the Iowa member of the
democratic national committee to
membership on the state committee
he will not be permitted to act. If an
attempt is made to have the state
convention take away from the district
caucuses the righ. of nomination OF
the district members Of the state COM
mittee there will be Ii big row. 1t Is
true that the state primary law con-
fers on the state convention and that
alone the right of electing state COM
mittee. but the democrats are Jealous
Of local control and will not tolerate
the state convention oyerturning long
custom.
Some years ago the democrats adopt
ed the policy of making the member OF
the national committee ex-ofhcio
member of the state committee Ihis
is not possible under the law. But the
convention could elect him a member
OF the state committee or elect two
or half dozen additions. members
The matter comes up because or an
nouncement here by the anti-Wlison-
ties that II necessary they Will under
take to have the state convention
handle the whole state committee mat
ter independent OF the district caucuses.
1t is a part Of the fight OF the present
state committee to retain power. The
Reed faction, which directed the Iowa
vote for Parker at Baltimore. claims
II will control the state convention,
tho 1t might not control the district
caucuses. The progressives insist that
they will stand for no juggling with
the state committee. The plan seems
to be to secure control of'the state con-
yention by the friends OF Reed and
either have the state convention select
the entire state committee or designate
who shall be chairman.
Local democrats heie are much In
cenwed because Reed printed In his
home paper what they call an nnwar-
ranted attack on number OF the most
prominent and active democrats OF the
state. It deveiops that the story about
