REFUSES TO BE BluFFED
Iowa Supreme Court Not Swerved
From Duty by Threat to Exercise
Judicial Reeall-ottumwa Saloon At.
torneys Attempt Coercion.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. July 6.-The Iowa SUI
preme court only last week gave a
demonstration that it can not be
swerved from the path of duty by any
political movement and will not turn
aside for threat of the recall of judi
ctA decisions. The court heard but
needed not what was represented tc
1t TO be rebuke by the good people
of one Iowa city.
This was in the Ottumwa saloon
case. On the twenty fifth of June the
court entered the order not to reopen
the case. thus finally disposing OF the
effort to reopen the saloons, which
were closed because of a defective petit
the circulators Of the petition was, or
had been, operating gambling house,
hence not a man of good repute.
The interesting part of the story
cropped out in the petition OF a corps
Of Ottumwa attorneys for rehearing,
wherein was recited this bit of history:
The American people are somewhat
inclined to think that majority ought
~
expression in unfortunate ways, but it
always finds q means of expression
For instance in book 33 at page 464, in
the records of the district court of
Wapello county, Iowa, there may be
found a plea of guilty by one Pat
Leeny to a charge of bootlegging. This
plea was entered on Nov. 2, 1906. Every
voter in Ottumwa knew Of this record
when Pat Leeny was elected mayor OF
Ottumwa III March, 1913. The result
of the election was due to the fact
that more than half the voters of OF
tunlwa believed that the petition OF
consent in question in this case had
been signed by majority of all the
voters who cast their ballots at the
last preceding election. The majority
of voters took this manner of register
ing protest against what they deemed
to have been a refusal to give effect &c
the determination of the majority in
signing this consent petition. This
result was attained in spite of the fac,
that several hundred who signed the
petition worked actively in support o.
Senator Waterman. the candidate OPP
posed to Leeny. One of the active dry:
wrote an article in support OF Senator
| Waterman and it was published the
Saturday night before election. Mayor
Leenyts supporters, particularly in the
first ward, made effective use of this
article at the polls by urging it as evil
dence Of the elements back of Senator
Waterman's candidacy. We deplore the
outcome but the result. Of the city cleo
ton emphasizes the statement that the
majority will not be denied"
This may be taken as official ex-
PLANTATION of the Ottumwa election a
year ago.
In short, what they were doing was
to discipline the supreme court and &c
give it to understand that as TO OF
tumwa that part of the law requiring
that circulators of petitions must be
Of good repute has no application
whatever.
The supreme court. however, ad.
heres to the law and refuses to certify
| that gambler is a man of good re-
pute outside Of Ottumwa.

other.
have been hunting up his record.
I have before me a record of 162
fights he has fought since 1903 when
as a young unknown, he came down
from Nova Scotia and commenced
fighting. In these fights he has a rec
ord of 1.106 rounds, which means
about six rounds to the battle-and
all / can find in the record is four
legitimate defeats.
Than has fought them all. In one
season he met Joe Cans and Jack
Johnson---which Is considerable range
Of weight for anyone. and he has
fought all over the world.
In one year he fought in New York
