Des Moines. April 23.-Indications
are that the $4,000 voted by the leg
islature to pay car fare of the Gettys-
burg survivors back to the battlefield
for the semi-centennial in July from
points in Iowa may not be sufficient
to pay all the fares called for. Thus
far the lowest rate quoted from Des
iMoines is $40 for the round trip. while
the committee in charge had figured on
about $33. So 1t Is that the survivors
who plan to go will have to get in their
applications early to get the order for
their car fare. DR.. George A. New

quests that veterans other than the
Gettysburg survivors, make applica-
ton at once or as soon as possible for
their certificates emitting them to adj
mission to the great camp to be es-
tablished. The only difference between
the survivors of the battle and others
VIII be that the former will have
their fare paid from Iowa. In enter
tainment all will be alike.

there will be an abundance Of other

Of getting ready for the trip Of the
Iowa contingent, probably 300 or 400 in
all. is already under way.
Lawyers representing persons af-
iected by the new blue sky" law have
made several visits to the state house
to find out If they could not pick a flaw
in the record of the legislature in the
passing Of the bill that would make
1t open to attack in the courts and in
terested persons are busy dissemina:-
ing information to the effect that the
bill will never be regarded as a law.
The claim Is made that the speaker Of
the house went wrong in not turning
the bill over to the sitting committee
but holding 1t on his desk whence it
was taken up and passed. But however
iddegular this might have been, the
records show that the bill received the
necessary votes. and it is the roll call
that counts. 1t Is now discovered that
a great many persons appear to be
much worried over the passing Of this
law.
Campaigns overlap each other re-
CARELESS Of laws. and the fight for
speakership of the next house Of the
Iowa legislature Is on. Herbert HUFF,
OF Hardin county. was first to definite

to be the farmer candidate this year.
Brady has led of in his campaign by
returning to Des Moines last evening
and entertaining a group Of newspaper
men and friends at the Des Moines
club, which makes a very fine start for
him In this direction. or course both
men expected to be e-elected and to be
third termers in the Thirty fifth gen.
eral assembly. They are also active on
the theory that the republicans will be
able to name the next speaker Of the
house.
