Special to Times Republican.
E!dora, Feb. 14.-Some time since
Mrs. Georgia Blanche Williams, living
in the southern portion OF the county.
complained to Sheriff Walsh that her
husband James Elmer Williams, had
deserted her and the child. leaving them
practically destitute. The sheriff in
,terested himself in the case and finally
located the runaway husband In Terre
Haute, Ind. and had the man arrested
there. Under the law in such cases the
sheriff must be responsible for any ex-
pense incurred in bringing a prisoner
back to the scene Of the crime and
some effort made to prosecute the case.
In this instance the man Williams
waived his right to requisition papers
and the Hardin county officials were
fearful that once the husband returned
1t might prove as some similar in
stances have in the past-the wife
would forgive all and the sheriff would
be out his expenses in capturing and
returning the prisoner. Williams was
released and Mrs. Williams Is tempo
rariIy residing with relatives in Mar
shall county.

Special to imes-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. lit has been re-
ported that members Of the bull moose
party in iowa are preparing to make
the claim that everywhere in Iowa they
are entitled to place on the election
boards and registry boards, and that
their political organization must be
recognized as one Of the two leading
parties Of the state on the strength OF
the vote cast for presidential electors a
year and half ago.
If the custom is to be followed which
has long prevailed and which is en-
bodied in the laws they will be able to
insist on such recognition in only a
comparatively few precincts of the
state; and the bull moose party is in
not much better condition than the
socialist party in this respect.
The unit for selection Of judges OF
election is the precinct and the test as
to which of the two parties is entitled
to preference is on the vote Of the party
in each precinct separately. What hap
pens in the state or county is Of no
consequence
But the laws clearly make the test Of
party strength to be the vote on gov
ernor and no other office. What hap
pened on presidential electors doesn't
count at all. The laws clearly define
political party as one casting a certain
per cent Of the vote for governor.
Now both the socialist and the bull
moose parties carried a number of pre-
cincts in the state, especially along the
river; and if they have men competent
and DESTROYS Of drawing the per diem
for serving as judges or clerks of cleo
ton they have a right to demand their
appointment by the appointing boards.
But is applies only to those precincts
which they carried on governor, or
rather, came second on for governor.
The bull moose candidate for con-
gress in the Second district, it Is point
ed out, only carried four precincts in
the district, two Of them in Muscatine
county and two in Iowa county, where
very small votes were cast.

Mason City, Feb. 14.-There is GER
tainly something doing in political cir
c!es over the appointment of Wiley S.
Rankin as assistant attorney general
under Attorney General Cosson. Carl
FRANKIE, at one time chairman OF the
republican state central committee. of
recent years a leading bull mooser. In
an interview severely criticised Cosson
for stepping outside the republican
party and selecting a third party pro-
gressive as a member of his staff. At
the same time there was a reflection
in the interview criticising Mr.. Rankin
for ever accepting such an appointment
coming from the source it did. Col.
Wiley S. Rankin gave a statement to-
the press last night in answer to the
FRANKIE statement, and he claims COM
plete justification in accepting the posi-
ton, and still further insists that 1t
has not nor should 1t have any political
Significance. He was a bull mooser
when the party was born. is now a bull
mooser, and will SO continue in the
party, doing what work he can do for
its success, so long as that work will
not infringe on the work Of his new
position. This Is his signed inter-
view:
II believe Carl FRANKIE has been mis-
quoted, as he and talked the appoint
ment over before I accepted He is not
in the city today and l have been I'M
able to locate him. If he has been
truthfully quoted, his complaint is en-
tirely uncalled for. as the facts do not
justify his deductions either as to Mr..
Cosson or myself. II were leaving the
progressive party for the sake Of the
appointment. then Carl could talk
with some consistency. He personally
knows better. Judge Stevens Of Boone
and many other prominent progres@ives
have advised me to accept under the
conditions. .l.

Entirely New Angle Given to Bother.
some Deer Question in Iowa.
Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs. Feb. 14.-An entirely
new angle was given to the deer ques-
ton, a bothersome one in portions of
this and Shelby counties as q result
Of the protection given the wild deer
which number about 400 and which
roam at will through the timber and
over the farm lands, through the kill
ing Of deer by L. G. Ward, a pioneer
farmer Of this city, president Of the
Game Protective Association, who
then appeared in town and notified the
authorities Of what he had done. Game
Warden T. c. Jackson, of Shenandoah.
instructed Game Warden Delahoyd to
arraign Ward for the act and he was
brought to this city and a hearing set
for next Wednesday. Mr.. Ward has
always been foremost among the men
who stand for the protection of the
deer and left two acres Of corn fodder
in his field for the deer to feed upon.
hence 1t is believed that he has decided
to test for all time the state law which
is supposed to protect the deer from
poachers.
Sentiment in this regard is divided
among the farmers and recently a man
arrested under the state law was &C.
quilted in an Avoca court Of the charge
and it is said that in certain 10 :alities
the desire to have the deer for meat
and that they be exterminated is so
strong that it is difficult to secure
a conviction under the state law.
This division Of feeling was we'll IL
lustrated when the state built a corral
and drove the deer into a thirty-a acre
enclosure. That night the enclosure
was mysteriously damaged and the
deer nearly all escaped. During the
past year it has been necessary for
game warden to patrol the country con-
stantly to prevent wholesale slaughter
of the deer aud it is said this has not
been entirely successful.
